It was too true. In the picture Hylan was pushing and strug- gling. We couldn't observe that the old surface car had budged an inch. Tle motor bus stayed tight where it was. That is exactly the position of Mayor Hylan. He has been pushing against the surface cars and the surface cars are right where they were when he came into office. A few have gone out of business; on many cars there are transfer charges and double fares for patrons; reasonable, fair and legal bus service is held up. The Mayor needs help. He could get the help if he would only stop his futile strainings and contortions and work with the Transit Commis- tion, The Transit Commission has the power to move the street cars. The Mayor lacks the power. WE NEED A MOTOR CODE. HE Legislature is to meet next Monday to consider the coal crisis, probably to make formal the informal organization Gov. Miller has already instituted. It is not expected that much, if any other, business will be transacted, as the Governor pro- poses to have the necessary legislation drafted to accompany his message. At least one other bit of work should be put under way. A joint legislative committee might , well be appointed to confer with traffic officials in New York and other cities, with State and city licensing officials, with automobile clubs and owners and with motor-truck express lines and so prepare a comprehensive code governing the taxation, regulation, licensing and driving of motor vehicles. With appalling monthly death rolls in sum- mer, the need for such legislation is evident. A comprehensive code should be prepared for in- troduction when the Legislature meets. Now is a better time for hearings and conferences than the busy legislative season. A COAL BOARD. RESIDENT HARDING'S recommendation of a board to inquire into the coal industry was the principal constructive feature of his message last Friday. It received perhaps less attention and credit than it deserved. But this was only because the creation of some such body had become a foregone conclusion in the public mind. Senator Kenyon introduced such a measure be- fore he retired to the bench. Senator Borah has fong had a similar measure in committee. The principal reaction of the public is amazement and resentment that the Coal Board was not created months ago, when the need was evident. However, this is one instance where it is better to be late than never, and the President deserves credit for swinging into line. so STARVING THE LIBRARY. N ORGAN J. O'BRIEN, Chairman of the Public Library Trustees, draws a moving picture of the sad plight of the Public Library alter five years of starvation the Hylan regime. Of the thirty-six principai cities of the United States, only three spend less per capita in support of libraries than does New York Thirty-two cities spend more. New York allows only a lit- tle more than a half as much as the average, That is wrong, all wrong. No economy pleas ¢an excuse such a condition. Here in New York is one of the greatest bodies of students in all the world. The New York Public Library needs adequate reference shelves, up-to-date technical libraries, comprehensive files of newspapers and periodicals for scholars and research workers At a time when living costs and rents are hi there is extra need for plenty of money for buy slow under one os | 7p AAT sides ing and circulating books. The city must supply books when high rents prevent purchases, Again, New York has the largest body of foreign-born citizens, The library is one of the tried and tested agencies of Americanization, as an inspection of branch libraries will show. The library isn't a forcing agency io make aliens be- come Americanized. It is the leading agency, helping the immigrant where and when he wants to be helped. Mr. O'Brien makes a clear case of neglect and starvation as the result of Board of Estimate penury. The books are inadequate in’ number, are deteriorating and the service is not what it should be. It would be an excellent idea for library users and those who would use the library more if they could get what they want, to bombard the members of the Board of Estimate with post- cards in support of an adequate appropriation this year, IRISH NEWS. T* O highly important news stories yesterday dealt with Irish affairs and with Mr. De Valera. From Dublin ft was reported that Mr. De Valera had advised his followers that they were free to return to their homes and that,many were doing so. Here in New York Justice Purr signed an in- junction restraining two banking institutions from delivering to the Irish Irregulars money col- lected in this country for the Irish cause. In all fairness to Mr. De Valera, it is highly improbable that financial consideration would have any part in influencing him to forego the civil war into which he has plunged Ireland. He is enough of a visionary to continue without money if he saw prospect of a success worth the 82 eC, If the Dublin report is true, Mr. De Valera must at last have seen the hopeless position in which he stands; he must have realized that the Irish people are turning from him and that civil war and its accompanying evils are worse than anything he fears even from those he has de- nounced. At the same time the importance of American cash as a munition of war cannot be underesti- mated, Cut off from American funds, the plight of the Irregulars would become increasingly dif- ficult. As for the legal aspects of the injunction issued yesterday, they promise to prove interest- ing. The action was instituted on the ground that Ireland is now a nation. If Ireland can make good this legal claim, if the British diplo- matic officers do not intervene and object, it seems fairly possible that the Free State Govern- ment will be the gainer of even more than is written into the Anglo-Irish agreement. —————— OUT OF REACH. (From the Milwaukee Journal.) Some people put on what they call dignity, They adopt a very reserved manner which at least prevents familiarity, And the reason is an undue estimate of their own importance. Now this impresses some other people; it gains a certain amount of recogni- tion, but the reward Is not often worth the cost. For the costasf keeping others at arm's length 1s to repel altogether many who could do one good and many for whom he could do something. Surely in these two things Hes the value of all human rela tionships, and that fs a large part of the value of life. Not to be stiff and standofftsh does not mean to be nothing but a spender of time and substance, nothing but a mixer, welcome enough when he's there, but not mjgsed when he is not. To be nothing more than a “half fellow well met” {s no ambition to set before any youth. But to be nothing much more than an automaton highly specialized in the accomplishment of certain things is about as bad. It's hard to see how any one who doesn't really care for others and want them to care for him can care very much about life itself, Short, it is thirty or forty years of pre cision; long, it is thirty to forty more units of the same thing. How can.it matter very much where the fates cut it off? ACHES AND PAINS. Perhaps the reason why President Harding has failed to reappoint W. P. G. Harding as head of the Federal Reserve Banking System 4s because he thinks there is already too much of the family in the Gov- ernment, The auto, the aeroplane and the seaplane seem to have taken the place of the hand-busket as speedy conveyors to destruction. .

KNOWING HOW IS NOT EVERYTHING. No employer will pay a man a big salary for what he knows unless he also uses his knowledge for ployer’s profit. It is easier to know than it is to do. There is a wide gulf between conception and execution. Colleges turn out by the hundred thousand men equipped with knowledge. The percentage of graduates who can use their knowl- edge to advantage is not very large. Often men are pointed out as receiving vast incomes “what they know.” That, however, is not how their incomes are earned. What these men do is what enables them to cash in heavily with their salary checks. Intelligence is valuable but it would be useless if it were not coupled with industry and energy. There, are far more lawyers who know the law than there are lawyers who ean try eases successfully. There are far more doctors who know medicine than there ore doctors who can practise it skilfully, In every office are men who know all about the busi- ness, but there are very few of them who are out getting more business and introducing system and economy into the establishment. . Knowing is a great deal but it is not everything. Until all the knowledge that may be acquired in the course of an education can be energetically applied it is little better than no knowledge at all, The young man who fancies +that because he knows more than his associates he is likel “bound to have a rude awakening.

Nowhere but in Hungary are found #o many musicians who play without being able to read music, The Hum- garlans are naturally gifted with fine musical feeling, It is to the gypsies that the world owes !ts‘appreciation of the true Mag- yar music.

Hence the semi-barbarte quality of their music. e outstanding feature of this music is its syncopated rhythm, It is the compination of Magyar and y element that has produced the national melodies, The Hungarian has provided the peculiar rhythms, le the eypsy has added turns, twists and other ornaments.
