HE failure of something like 250,000 quali- fied voters to register in New York State in a year when the public interest requires the full- est possible expression of opinion at the polls, is a blot upon the cause of human liberty. The thing that men have fought and bled for is flouted by these backsliders. They should re- ceive some form of reproof that would renew 1n them some sense of responsibility Laws have been suggested that would make vot- ing compulsory, but these never get support. In- } decd, it is not certain that they would become | anything but a nuisance with an expensive ma- chine behind them to prosecute or annoy.’ Much simpler would be a law of disfranchise- ment. Men and women who do not care enough about their State or country to register and vote should receive the treatment their negligence de- serves. They should be disfranchised. People who persistently and without reason re- fuse to do their share toward preserving the gen- eral welfare merit none of the privileges of citi genship The “kidding” of Calder is a heavy handicap to the campaign of the Glove Senator. NEW YORK KOMEN SHOW COURAGE AND COMMON SENSE. T a recent meeting of the City Federation of Women’s Clubs opinion was strong in fa vor of skirt hems about seven inches from the ground, and—better yet—a marked sentiment of independence from the dictates of designers and dressmakers. More power to the women—and yet power. There have been other and similar revolts, on!y partially or not at ail successful. But these were before women were so generally and effectively organized, politically and socially. Here is hop- ' ing the present movement will score an unquali- fied success and that the “dictators” of fashion will be forced to use the scissors on the bottoms of the longer gowns and skirts they have designed. Women, generally, favor the shorter skirts. “They are comfortable and easy for walking Shortness has been carried to extremes in some cases, but that is unimportant. In the present revolt it is to be hoped the Women’s Clubbers will be adamant. There are enough of them so that if they will act with reasonable unanimity they can force changes they desire. t If most women are “‘out of style’—the style ; dictated by Paris—the only ones out of style here } in New York will be those who follow the re- jected modes. more THE KAISER. BY HIMSELF. HE former Kaiser’s autobiography, which has at last uncoiled its full length of dreariness in the columns of the esteemed Times, brings with -- “4 #ts conclusion but one thought: * How could nearly 70,000,000 people under his * yule and nearly as many more under other poten- tates have allowed themselves to be turned into monsters by such a leader and under such shal- * low pretense of “saving” themselves? It grows clear, despite all the special pleading, that he had but one idea, that of self exaltatio! “ that his statecraft was mainly invention, like his theories of the motives of others; and that a peo- ple surprisingly adapted to orderly life were led into the shambles by the vanity of an “all wise” pretender who fooled himself most while he was * fooling them. BETTER BILLIARDS, ” the world of indoor sport, this season prom- ises wider interest than ever before in bil- liards. This city is to have the international tourna- “ ment with six leaders entered for play next month Schaefer, Hoppe and Cockrane are a billiard show fn themselves and the three entrants from abroad are known to be capable performers. But even more significant is the opening of a Nation-wide competition in the three-cushion game in which professionals from the principal billiard rooms of the country will tour the cities for a regular schedule of match play, with a final miccacnennee eran elimination tournament for the leaders of the sev- eral sectional leagues—the “World's Series’ of the billiard season It is possible the growing popularity of billiards is in part due to the closing of the.saloon and the substitution of the billiard hall as a provider of the club features men crave. But there is little doubt a good share of the increased popularity 1s due to the cleaning up of the business and im- provement in the character of the halls by the managers themselves The little old hole-in-the-wall “pool” rooms are not sharing in the prosperity. The clean, light and orderly billiard rooms are doing the business SUPPRESSED? JUDGE HAND decides that, be- the Eighteenth Amendment ind Congress meant to forbid the carrying of liquor on all vessels, American or foreign, within, three-mile limit Crew rations of liquor required by foreign law in Judge Hand’s opinion, the only possible exception to the Daugherty ruling. This means, of course, that the question will go on appeal to the United States Supreme Court EDERAL tweeen them the are We shall presently have a decision from tne highest court in the land as to whether the Highteenth Amendment and the Volstead law successfully undertake to extend American terri- tory to include the decks and holds of all fore vessels venturing inside a three-mile line drawn around American shores When we have an ultimate decision far the Eighteenth Amendment and Congress have fulfilled the purpose and intent of the Prohibition Power, perhaps we shall find Congress forced to take more interest in the purpose and intent of a majority of the American people in whose name international law is flouted and the attitude of the United States toward other nations rendered offensive and absurd Or has that part of the American people which is not the extreme-Prohibition part been defini- tively suppressed ? Is it settled that they are never to be heard or considered again? as to how What about those “interests” the Mayor is always talking about? The most conspicuous in- terests in the city foreground just now are Hylan interests looming up as big as Hylan buses amid a flock of kiddie-cars. Surely these are not the “interests” Hizzoner means TIMELY INSISTENCE. HE Teachers’ Union does well to keep atter Commissioner of Education Graves and the State Department of Education in the matter of the “loyalty” certificates for teachers requires by the Lusk School Law. In a list of twelve teachers named by President Linville of the Union are two former Army offi- cers. Several are or have been politically active in radical minority parties. The Teachers’ Union asserts that no one has been officially charged with disloyalty at any time, that the Federal Government has not interfered with them, and that school authorities have not summoned them to meet charges. The Union wants to know why the loyalty cer- tificates are held up, delayed or withheld end “whether the holding of political and social views here described constitutes an act of disloyalty?” It is a good thing to keep such questions con- stantly before the public. It is well to keep the iniquity of the Lusk laws constantly in the lime- light. It is doubly desirable at the moment when Gov. Miller is up for re-election. For the Lusk laws are a black mark on the Miller record Gov. Miller signed them. He could have vetoed them. He could have induced the Legislature to repeal them. Ambassador Harvey can find no evidence that women have souls, Well, doesn’t that make it mutual? ACHES AND PAINS Now they are assailing the orthodory of the Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, This will be great news to his press agent, the ingenious Ivy Lee. The “rise” has come! Ce Chairman Lasker says he knew nothing of the shut- down on his aquatic barrooms until he read the an- nouncement, He does not seem to appreciate Mr, Daugherty's devotion on the lines of Bobbie Burns; “And I'll be true to thee, my dear, Till all the seas run dry.” . It begins to look as if somebody besides the “In- terests” was conspiring against Hizzoner—and inci- dentally the City Treasury. . The noblest thoroughfare in New York State is the newly opened drive around Storm King Mountain. It will be a perpetual monument to George W. Perkins, to whom its construction is due. . It would be nice if Frank A, Munsey and Nicholas Murray Butler would go off and be a new political party all by themselves. . The last tenement house fire has the size of a Turk- ish atrocity. .

A chemist takes the tissues of the body, dissolves them in aclas ant finds at the bottom only carbon, hy- drogen, oxygen, nitrogen ani very 4 small percentages of other elements, These tissue producing elements are the materials out of, which humar beings are built. After doing duty as brain or blood or flesh or bone, the worked-over materials pass out of the body, so a new intake of these same elements is necessary to replenish the supply. None of the elements, however, cur be taken into the body in the state. Carbon, for example, is char coal; it cannot be eaten except in ~ combinétion with other elements Likewise, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen are noxious gases, all fatal to life in the free state. Yet chemi- cally combined {n proper proportion, these lifeless elements consttute the principal ingredients of the proteins, the carbohydrates (sugar and starch) and fats (milk, butter, lard, é&¢.) which form the foods upon whieh mankind subsists, ‘ood is to the body what fuel ts to an engine; its combustion yields the heat which maintains the tempera- ture of the body and keeps the mechanism going. As with fuel. 80 with food, the value depends upon its heat-yielding efficiency. Heat is measured in terms of calo- ries, a calory being the amount of heat required to raise one kilogram of water one degree.

UNCOMMON SENSE By John Blake (Copyright, 1922, by John Blake. ADAPTABILITY. ‘In theory," says the Greek philosopher, ‘there is noth- ing to prevent us from following what we are taught, but in life there are many things to draw us aside.” The young man or woman who learns this maxim by heart, and thinks about it, goes into the game of life with his eyes open, and ready fur any emergency. of “Leave the 'Tark Alo Edlior of The Evening While perusing the Literary Digest for week of Oct. 17 I came an article on Halideh Edib Hanoum, known as the “Joan of Arc” of Tur- discoverer of America by setting aside Jet. 12 as a legal holiday.

As a matter of fact life is very well worth living, despite all the evils that one must meet with. One can find justice, if one seeks for it. There are many truthful people in the world, and there are enough honest men to form a very considerable and important mi- nority. As a matter of fact so great are these qualities that even those who do not practise them believe in them. The Judge who is just, the man who is truthful, and the individual who is honest are always respected and esteemed. And in the long run it is they who decide the policy of the world and the fate of nations.
