It. T. to extract something definite and progressive from the transit problem. Yesterday's conference, of which the de tail" were undisclosed, leads to a sequel In the Mayor's office this afternoon. The ur banity of the contesting pnrtlcs suggests that a basis (if concord, which In particular Trill render po.islble the opening of tho Frankford elevated, Is being nt last ap proached. Phllndclphians ate heartily weary of the Intricacies of the case and sicker still of the deadlock which has almost reached the pro portions of absurdity. They devoutly desire the Inauguration of the new high-speed line, end even fears that the Irate may in Home way fall short f perfection fall to mitigate the Intensity of their longing. AN INTERNATIONAL HIGHWAY 'A LTHOrOH the Versailles Treaty pro- vided that the Danube should be an International waterway open to the traffic of 11 nations for its full length from T'lni In TTurtcmberB to the Black Sea, It was not until this week that arrangements were com pleted for carrying out the provision. The river passes through a part of Ger many, traverses the old Austro-Hungorlan Empire and is touched by Serbia, Rumania and Bulgaria. Its navigation has been under the direction of an international com mission, but there were possibilities of re striction of traffic which mnde it necessary to arrange for its common use by all the nations watered by it. There has been much disagreement In the past over the control and development of the river. The new arrangement ought to remove friction and make for international good understanding. THE LONG TRAIL'S END HOW many people in this country were aware before they read yesterday's cable from London that 10,000 full'-blooded Indians lie with the American dead in France? Honor of a conspicuous sort had been done to almost every class and group and race "that contributed in any way to the allied victory before the world was re minded of the singular part played in the war by those Americans who may properly be cnlled 100 per cent. The t'nited States and all Its people owe a debt to Dr. Joseph K. Dlxon. of this city, and to the founder of the Wanamaker Historical Expeditions for the part they played in bringing recog nition formally to the American Indian. Haig, Foch nnd I'ershlng found these tribesmen deserving of a place with the noblest soldiers of all time. They were cool, dlspafcslonate fighters. Invariably brave ami marvelous as marksmen. Most of them were volunteers. The Indian in France may yet live in a peat American epic. lie never knew com ,plete freedom, jet he went out to tight for It until he died. KEEPING THE POLICE COOL THAT fist fight between two policemen nt ISroud and Chestnut streets j ester day over the right to stand under the pnrasol at the signal post would not have happened if there hnd been u pnrasol for each man, nor If it had been cool. Hot weather af fects the nerves mid the temper. When the officers arrested caeli other, Superintendent Mills treated the matter with good sense. He merely gave them a talking to und sent them back to their posts. He and his aides at the City Hall are weur Ing cool white linen uniforms. The men on the street wear woolens with a tlnnnp) shirt. heavy cap and hot puttees. It is easier to be calm in white linen than In dark woolens. Thin was fortunate for the men who fought. Perhaps now that Its need hits been for cibly demonstrated another paiasol will he provided at Ilrnnd and Chestnut streets nnd at every other point where an officer Is stationed to direct traffic And perhaps b next jrur it may be decided to permit the men on the street to wear a cool uniform of Panama cloth or similar fobric In summer. The present uniforms are neat but nut com fortnble when the mercury touches the nineties.

Ileforo Itraun Insulted Johnson, Johnson had repeatedly Insulted Braun. So wo had n Representative from Kentucky shouting of deliberate homicide. Such things aren't pleasant to see in Washington. Rows such as broke up the Bergdoll hearing on Friday are not sug gestive of the cool nnd steady reasoning which the country has n right to look for in congressional deliberations. Guns have uses. Hut you cannot get nearer to the truth In a legal tangle by shooting the witnesses. TWENTY BILLIONS FOR THE CONGRESS TO TAX Unless It Makes an Equitable Adjust ment of the Burden, It Will Have to Reckon With tho Voters AS A preliminary to revising tho tax laws Congress should acquaint Itself with the startling facts about the iluctuation of tax able Incomes since 1010. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has disclosed them up to nnd lncludlug 1010. He has enough data about the Incomes of 1020 to satisfy the needs of the congres sional committees. A comparison of figures of 1010 with those of 1010 will be illuminating. The total of all the Incomes nbove $3000 those which are taxed amounted In 11U0 to less than $7,000,000,000. There were -'0(1 men with incomes In excess of $1,000,000 and their Incomes aggregate between $130,000, 000 nnd $100,000,000. In 10111 the total taxable Incomes amounted to a little less than $L'0,000,000, 000, or to almost three times the amount In 101(1. There were only sixty-live men who reported nn income of $1,000,000 or more and their aggregate incomes amounted to $152,000,000. There arc two possible explanations for this decrease in the total amount of the incomes above $1,000,000. One is that the heavy taxes which huve absorbed two-thirds of the Income discouraged big business to such an extent that it was no longer possible for it to enrn large profits. Another is that blg business men have found a way of con cealing their profits, either 1 investing in non-taxable securities or bv tricks of book keeping. But it is not the incomes above $1,000,000 alone which have decreased in number. In 1010 there were H70 men with Incomes be tween $500,000 and $1,000,000. In 1010 there were 1S1I. In lliltl there were 711 with incomes- bitween $.'100.(100 and $500. 000. In 101!) there were 125. The num ber of incomes between S150.000 nnd S.'tOO. 000 in 101(1 was 2-m. In 1010 It was IMil. But the number of Incomes between $50. 0C0 nnd $100,000 increased from 10.-I.VJ In lftlfl to 13,320 in 1010; and in the same period the Incomes between $25,000 nnd $50,000 Increased from 23,734 to 37.477, and the incomes between $10,000 nnd $25, 000 Increased from S0.P00 to ltl2.4S". And so it goes with the smaller incomes, those between $5000 nnd $10,000 growing from 150.500 in 1010 to 43.S.S51 in 1010. The very large Incomes have for some reason been drstroyed nnd the moderate in Miines have been multiplied. But this wns in 1010 when the renction from the war prosperity had not begun to set In. The 1020 figures may sliow a crv different state of affairs. But it is morally ceitalu that thry will not show ihnt the number of in -u with big taxable Incomes lins increased over 1010. What they will show about the rest cannot be known until the Commissioner of Internal Revenue gives out the figuics. But whatever the focts are they should be known before Congi ess attempts to revise the in ternal tax laws. The primary purpo-e of the internal taxes Is to raise revenue and not to destroy busi ness. It should be so levied as to encourage enterprise and to conserve the working capital of the Nation. The economic folly of seizing in the form of a tax two-thirds of the very large in comes is admitted b all economists of nn standing. But once such taxes lme been levied there are political difficulties In the way of lightening them. The demagogues will at once say that the rich ure favored at the expense of the men of moderate means. And where there are nearly half a million men with incomes between S5000 and .10, 000 nnd only sixty-five with incomes In ex cess of $1,000,000 there ure few politicians who would dare advocate relieving the sixty-five at the expense of the half million. If the majority in Congress had to con sider only the economic questions involved its task would be easier. But it must take into account the political effect of whut it docs. It knows, or it ought to know, how ever, that if It does not do something to lighten the burden of taxation hetwreu now und November of next )ear it will hae to adjust Itself to working as the minority party for the last two .eur of Mr. Hard ing's Administration. Perhaps the President will havp the cour age to point out the course Congress should pursue ns he did In the matter of the bonus legislation. MR.

Thoy have fowcr opportunities for solitude than kings. DYING RUSSIA THE blend of sympathy, firmness nnd fair play which characterizes Herbert Hoover's reply to Maxim Gorky's appoal for famine relief in Russia reduces the Intri cacy of a tragic problem to Its elements. The charge of American Indlfforcnce to Russian misery is as persistent ns It is baseless. Mr. Hoover, speaking not as a Government official but as director of tho American Relief Association, stipulates, It is true, terms to be accepted before min istration begins. But his conditions aro such sb are necessary to the execution of nn enlightened concept of compassion and Jus tice. "The sine qua non," In the words of the Secretary of Commerce, "must be the im mediate release of the Americans now held prisoners in Russia." This demand quite properly seeks to placo the negotiations upon the only bnsls that can be productive of practical results. Maxim Qorky's pathetic appeal is made upon his own responsibility nnd is not an offlclnl net of tho Soviet Government. The request which the Relief Administra tion makes of the Moscow regime is precisely similar in general principles to that to which other distressed nations, recipients of Amer ican generosity, heartily agreed. Mr. Hoover colls for a direct statement to the relief officials In Riga of the need for assistance for freedom of movement nnd organization of the various agencies that would be set in motion in Russia, non-interference of the Soviet Government with nil members of the commissions, nnd he promised in return "a frank and free undertaking, without regard to creed, race or social status" and the complete abstention of the relief envoys from nil political activities. In the highest decree Impressive Is the pledge of nld in tin form of food, clothlm; nnd medical supplies to 1,000,000 children in Russia, "as rapidly as organization could be effected." It is for the Soviet rulers to chooc whether they will deal honestly nnd fairly with Mr. Hoover or whether their obstlnncy will shut the doors of mercy. The emer gency today Is one which cannot be met with trilling jir evasion. Heretofore, under the Communist regime, most of the ills of litis sia have been due to disorganization. The) hnve been man-made. Nature now intrudes n grim and terrible hand. The drought in some of the normally most fertile regions of Russia has created conditions similar to those which heralded the ghnstly famines of 1S73 nnd ISM. In the face of n repetition of such trage dies rejection of the wholly equitable terms proposed by Mr. Hoover may mean the ex termination of millions of Innocent and hap less human beings. Amerlcnns arc naturally inclined to be lieve that much of the existing Russian prejudice against the I'nited States w!" vanish once the machinery of relief is set In motion. The prospect is appealing as forecasting the downfall of the Communist fallacy. But such considerations are now not paramount. In the most poignant physical sense Rus sia Is dying. America, typified by such great private agencies as the Relief Admin istration, the Red Cross and other charitable organizations, is earnestly enger to accom plish its utmost to overt the catastrophe. The optional courses presented to Moscow are those of simple humanity or of infatuated cruelt) ami barbarism. ANOTHER SHIPPING TANGLE THE seizure by the Shipping Board ol nine uccau liners operated b) the United States Muil Steamship Co., with hendquar tein in New York, raises a multiplicity of complex questions upon which the public is hardly competent to judge. It is permissible to note the ominous persistence with which affairs of the Amer li an mercantile marine are involved in liti gation damaging to consistent progress. The injunction mania to which William R. Hearst is a pre) was in a large degree responsible for iostly delays in placing the great merchant fleet, an Inheritance of the war, upon a firm basis. Mr. Lasker hns verlfml the reports of chaos in the operation of the Shipping Bonrd. His authorization of the seizure of the I'nited Stntes mail vessels has been In terpreted as an attempt to infuse the organization with bimple bushiest, principles and to collect propert) for overdue debts. One of its effects, however, is the intro duction of new legal tangles, ns the mall company, has secured possession of the rented vessels by n temporary injunction. A rival concern, the I'nlteil American Lines, presenting the Hnrrlmau interests, hns already announced that it proposes to run the ships and to maintain their adver tised schedules. The confusion that has ensued Is ob viously the reverse of favorable to a healthy development of America's regained position upon the seas. "We hnve," In the words of (lie old "Jingo" song, "the men. we have the ships, vc hnve the monev. too." Bui we hnve not yet order, svstein nnd it clari fication of our new resources TIip lutcst hatch of intricate problem suggests, as have nil its prcdu casors, Unit Mr. Lasker's desire to emancipate the Gov ernment from the shipping business is grounded in the soundest common sense. Although the thinking public probably real izes that no siicli happy cliange can DC et fected instantly, It is undeniable that every time n new tangle with- private interests appears, the gonl of endeavor looms more and more nllui'lng.

RARE OLD RECIPES Dainty Dishes of 160 Years Ago From a Colleotlon of 1771-r-How People Lived In Those Far-Off Days By GEORGE NOX McOAIN A LITTLE trensuro in kitchen art came into my possession a day or to ago. Its acquisition was the outcome of a dis cussion among certain argumentative club men on gastronomy, past nnd present. The disputants were divided on the merits of cookery today and that of 100 or 200 years ago. It finally was agreed, after evidence was submitted, that while culinary scleuco today has advanced, particularly ns to a knowl edge of food values and the chemistry of this department of our common life, the older civilization wns not for behind our own iu the preparation of rich, appetizing and savory dishes. IT WAS disclosed during the discussion that oue of the dlspittnnts possessed, iu the original binding, a collection of recipes for English dishes of worth nnd desire bear ing the dnte 1771. A subsequent perusal of them most ef fectually disposes of any idea thnt the art of preparing excellent food during the last half of the eighteenth century was cither crude, unappetizing or limited in the rnngo of Ingredients, On the contrary, it Is apparent that tho dishes of that time were rich, ample and, from our standpoint, decidedly unusual. They wcro nt least suited to the palate nnd digestion of the bon vlvants of that far period. x Some of thpm are Impossible Of prepara tion In these degenerate days, except to the favored few. Prohibition has put its gipsy curse on them. Moreover, many of the Ingredients arc lost or lacking now, at least as they wcro known then. I pass along n few of these gems, with apologies to Mrs. Wilson, for the benefit of those choice spirits who delight in gustatory novelties. THE trite expression, "First catch your hare." has its derivation variously explained. Tho accepted version Is thnt nn ancient recipe for potting u linre begnn with this iminc nnd childish witticism. The old volume in my possession solves the riddle. In the use of nn expression for ron-tlng it hare these words printed on yellowing paper in old-fashioned typo with the long "s'h," appear: "When you have cased your hare, etc." Some one, some time in the last 150 years, evidently mistook that word "ensed" (skinned) with Its old-style long "s" ns n misprint, nnd envc it a new spelling and a consequent fool meaning. At least that Is the presumption. As a presumption it is ns good as any other theory advanced on the subject. Following is the remainder of the formula of 1771. in the original language nnd punc tuation, for roasting n hare: tt A HARE How to roast it. Jr. "Wi 'hen you have cased your hare, fill the body of it with a pudding composed of the following Ingredients. Suet, four ounces ; the crumb of brend, the same quantity; two eggs, pepper, salt, nutmeg, lemon peel, parsley nncl thyme shred very fine. Butter will do Instead of suet, nnd some persons shred nn anchovy In the stuf fing. Baste with new milk, and add n little butter when it Is near done. An hour and a half roasts a modern hnre. The best sauce is good gravy; but sometimes cream and melted butter is used as sauce, unci some times currant jelly Instead of the butter." One of the features of modern English cookery in disfavor with Americans who hnve sampled it Is the practice of "hanging" a fowl, leg of mutton or haunch of venison. This means exposure to the air until It becomes "high" In odor, though improved in tenderness. One gets the Idea from the following recipe : '.Mutton To roast it venison fashion. "Get a lnige and very fat leg of mutton, cut witii part of the loin to it so ns to shape it like a haunch. Let it hnng from ten to twent) days, according to the weather. Roast it well ami serve it up with rich gravy und currant jelly. Some persons baste it with red wine, and butter, all the time it is roasting. A fnt neck of mutton kept a week and roasted like a haunch is very fine." VOLSTEAD spilled the benns for the present -dny product lou of these dishes. "FRITTERS to make line ones. "Take four eggs; bent them well in u little brnntlv. mixed with ginger and nut meg, nnd add hnlf n pint of cream. Chop tome golden pippins nnd mix the whole with flour. If currants are added the fritters aro still richer. They must he fried In butter." "PANCAKES To ninke them. "To two pounds of flour, put a full quart of milk, six eggs, a little strong ale, n glass of brandy, some nutmeg, allspice and salt. Fry them of n light brown, in a very little lard or good dripping." The piece tie resistance of the brood of batter cukes, I think, is the following: "FINE PANCAKES. To make them. "To n little flour add half n pint of mouutnin or white wine, half n pint of cream. The yolks of twelve eggs beat fine; half a pound of line sugar, some nutmeg, mnce, ueaten litiuninon, nnu a little salt Tltfse must I e fried In fine butter, rr GAME)f all kinds nnd domestic fowl In variety figure largely nn ever) bill of fnrc; even those of little pretensions. Here nre two of them: "DUCKS To boll them the French way. "Lard them, half roast them, then put them Into lnrge earthen pipkin with half n pint of red wine, and a pint of good gravy, with some chestnuts, first ronsteij anil peeled, hnlf pint of oysters benrded. nncl the Honor drained from 'them, two onions minced, n little thyme, mace, pepper and some ginger bent tine ; all the crust of a french roll grated, cover all close and let It simmer for half nn hour over a slow fire." "PIGEONS To stew them. "Prepnie n sensoning of pepper, salt, cloves, mace, nnd sweet herbs; wrnp nil this in butter and put it in their bellies nncl half roust them; then put I hem into a stew pan. with a quart of good gravy, n little white wine, some pickled mushrooms, u few peppercorns, three or four blndes of mnce, a bit of lemon peel, a bunch of sweet herbs, n bit of onion, und some oysters pickled. When your pigeons nre properly stowed, thicken up with butter ami yolks of eggs and garnish with lemon." r, THIS old chronicle of dainty dishes bore is a paucity of directions for the prcparntiotiiof soups and solnds. Common vegetables nre omitted, largely, I presume, for the reason assigned in the preface, viz. : "We hall avoid a detnil of those com mon articles of cookery, which It would be a disgrace to the plainest housewife to be a stranger to. such for Instance us the dressing of n leg of veal, or a beefsteak; which everv fumllv Is ncipinlnteil with." "A TRIFLE To mnke it. "Cover the bottom of n dish or bowl with Nnples biscuits just broke in pieces, nine caroons broke tn hnlves, and ratllia cakes. Just wet them through with wine; then make n good boiled custnrd, not too thick, and when cold pour over It and put a syllabub on the custard. Garnish with ratifia cakes, currant jelly nnd flowers. " There tire lot- more like this in the quaint publli ntion. Bolshevism by p.iralvzlng the mciitrifof distribution is responsible for the fninlne now prevailing lu Russia. Will it permit capitalism" In the pulse of churlty to feed Its starving millions? To accept Hoover's offer is to admit failure; and the admission seems to demand more common sense, than the Soviet Government so far has given evidence of possessing.

WELSH On a City College A CHANCE for every boy and girl who wants a higher education Is due them, nnd It is the duty of tho city and Stnte to provide it for them, in the opinion of George A. Welsh, newly elected member of the Bonrd of Educutiou. Mr. Welsh urges the establishment of a city college here. "Such n course should be available to all and should Jt no way involve their pauper ization," said Mr. Welsh, who thus places the matter up to the city and Slute educa tional arbiters as (heir right. "Recent developments have shown this need in many ways," he says. "There hns been it umrked increase in the number of young men and women desirous of higher education. This has shown itself all nlong the line, botli from the griimmnr schools to the higher schools, and from these schools to the colleges nnd universities. This growth will continue In the years to come nt an ac celerated rate. "So enormous has become the demand at present that universities have been compelled to close their doors to many hundreds who were knocking for admission. They arc be ginning to deem it advisable to establish higher qualifications, to begin to draw the line. . , , "There will be more and more n tendency to hnve picked students, to compel a demon stration of special Intellcctunl fitness for en trance. Indeed, educators, following up the development of the bright child, nre advo cating more concentration of attention on those with the genius type of mind, to de velop our lenders nnd specialists in various lines of endeavor. "The high cost of living, which hns hit institutions nnd individuals alike, has caused the former to raise their tuition fees to cover expenses and hns made the cost of per sonal maintenance so difficult of balnnce with the uveroge Income that many are forced to forgo the privilege of 11 college or university education. "It Is well to develop the man of special ability, it is no doubt necessary for tlio uni versity to raise its qualifications and its tui tion fees, but that docs not get away from the fact thnt it is also Just ns essential that a grent tnnss of substantial, well-informed and thinking people be nlso developed. Class Legislation Feared "To illustrate this move concretely. If higher education is to be only for those who call afford it, we will In time have, to a greater or less extent, elnssjcgislation Now, as if class legislation were not bad enough, the question arises whether even the clnsses in control of the reins of government would be nhle successfully to maintain that govern ment. If thev did not have behind them n mass of reasonable, well-informed people. You have only to turn your attention to Russia, the most obvious example of thnt kind today, to see with a reasonable degree of exactness the ultlmnto outcome of such n condition. "It seems nlmost I lite In this day nnd generation to argue tlio ndvuntnges of a hl'iier education : 001 worn one cohmucih tho amazing number of persons' who fail to recognize higher .education as a necessity, plus the number who would keep it more or less exclusive, plus the hard-headed indi viduals who extol the self-mnde man and dis count the college-trained man as an argu ment, it becomos apparent that nt least a few fundamental truths should be told to show the urgent need of a higher education for the general bod) of the people. "The war showed conclusively, ns is well known, the need for trained men with trained minds. For the most part, the men who became officers were college-trained men The effective men, 111 a military sense, were of the same type Every man in tho training enmp and In the field realized that in n verv short time. Hence one renson for the present demand for higher education. Advantages In Politics "In politics, whether one be 11 cunilldate for office or just a voter, the demnnd for the trained mind becomes more und more np poieiit. Dur law makers must be trained men. uii'l the men nnd women who send them there must have an understanding ami In terest In the questions of the day and In telligently select them. If we are to have that i,ii'i.i nin'eiil of the people, for the pconlii, and b) the people,' that Lincoln pointed out main') ears ago. "We 11I110 want livable, reasonable, un derstanding people to make up our popu lation, people of principle and character. "Furthermore, tho city nnd tho State nnd the country need trnlned men nnd women In Increasing numbers, Wc need physicians, "I NEVER -WAS ON THE DULL, TAME SHORE, BUT I LOVED THE GREAT SEA MORE AND MORE!" - &"' we need chemists, wc need engineers, we need specialists in many lines. "So with all conditions eousldered, the urgent need for a city college is one that cannot be denied. There may be room for difference of opinion ns to just how it will be nchicved, ns to just whnt form It will take, but us for Its need, there Is no pos sible debate. "As such a college would be for the pur pose of filling u popular need, this fact should be borne In mind in shaping tho curriculum, iu defining the policy which such nn institution should pursue. Should Have Practical Courses "There is no question thnt it should be a college where the courses should be practi cal. It should be able to prepare the phy -Melon, the electrical engineer, the chem ist, the physicist and other higher forms of vocational and scientific pursuit. There should be 11 provision for education iu the liberal urts. Such n course should be .1 four-year one. that would better equip the ambitious young men nnd women for the battle of life. If they wished to pursue education further, they then would have the qualifications thut many minus this training do not or will not hnve to ennble them to meet the requirements of the uni versity with its greatly raised qualifica tions. "Thcie, of course, could and no doubt would be brought to bear against such a project at the present time the argument that there Is no" money available to maki it an accomplished fact. But Pennsylvania is next to tho richest State lu the country with untold resources, and money for a vital project can always be raised. Past history bob shown thnt to be a fuel, unci there ii no question that In one of a uumber of wnys this phase of the problem could be solved, "Besides, hard-headed business men can not help but recognize a genuine business proposition when they see it. Higher edu cation has not only enabled the individual to better himself financially, as well ns in other ways, but it iu time pays for Itself In Increased serj ice and income to the com munity and to (lie State from these self same individuals. Surveys of this aspect of tho cose have been made from time to time thut would confirm tills statement.

Surely no taxpayer will object to making an Investment that will directly or indirectly pay him mnny-fold In the years to come. "Such nu institution could be erected rlgh on .(he site of the present Central High School. Possibly the building could be utilized in some wny, but, in auy event, the nucleus is there. "A city college, then, is not n dream, a thing of tho hazy, fnr-dlstnnt future, but something needed nnd justified und withlu reason and the bounds of expediency right uwuy. Other cities havo them: they nre successful Why should not Philadelphia do likewise?" "Au anti-niivrofl gun Just One Thing has no more chance of After Another potting a bombing plane a mile high," remarked Cnptaln Oldsolt with posltivenoss, "than a popgun has of hitting nu eagle. Only planes can beat planes. But don't imagine on thnt account thut capital ships are not worth the capital Invested. Consider transporta tion conditions during the wnr. Damage from submarines at last became negligible. One shot from a U-boat and we got its number. But It would have been different with a raider. Thai would have worked havoc. And It was the capital ships thnt kept the raiders boll led. We need capital ships, we need subiiutiiucs arid we need airplanes.
