disgust at tbelr profligacy drove
from bis palace to become wanderers.
From there they may have come,
bringing with them, as It Is said,
"their one eonfrlbutlon to civilization,
the playing cards."
At least they came Into Europe with
colors flying. "Under the leadership
of earls, and counts, riding on horse

THE PULLMAN PORTER.

It hnn always been his misfortune to re

from the travelling public. Actually his

generosity of the paasengera who may

remarkably fine animal measuring I fe.-t
7 Inches, shot in Nepal by his Highness
the Maharajah of Hlkaner on March 31.
1920. The length of body, fl feet t
Inches ; length of tall, 3 feet 2 Inches :
total length. !' feet 7 Inches; girth. 3 feet
6'j Inches; head. 2 feet 3-V Inches;
forearm. 1 foot 5 S Inches ; height, 3
feet 1 Inch.
All measurements were most care
fully taken twice on the spot where the
tigress fell by the Maharajah himself,
who Is an experienced big game hunter
and has been In at the death of HS
tigers, of which tio less than 104 have
fallen to hla own rifle.
An examination of previously pub
lished reliable measurements will show
that up to the outbreak of the great
war the previous record for tlgressea
waa held by Lord VUliera. the tigress
shot by him In Cooch Rehar meas
uring S feet 5H Inches In total length,
while the length of the body waa
6 feet 2? Inches (vide page 49B of
"Rowland Ward's Record of Big Game,"
seventh edition, 1814). Thus unless a
bigger tigress has. been shot by aome
other sportaman, the measurements of
which have not been published, the
tigress shot by his Highness easily tops
the past records by one Inch and meas
ures 2H Inches longer In the body than
Lcrd Villiers's tigress.
so Interested as to allow the plaintiff to
be heard In person In the highest court
of the realm, without giving any bond
or other security on the appeal. 1 am
reliably asaured that the House of Lords
Is anxious to sec and hear young Mr.
Everett.
Whatever way the appeal Is decided
the case of Everett vs. Griffiths and
another Is bound to 'become a historic
precedent. Already the plaintiff ia hailed
aa the greatest non-professional lawyer
In the history of the Royal Courts of
Labor Hoard awarded the 80,000 em-
ploycne of the American Hallway Ex
press Company an Increase ot 18 cents
an hour. The decision Is retroactive to
May 1. 1920.
Under the terms of the Sseh-t ummlns
transportation act. the express company
wtll be permitted to raise its rates suf
ficiently to meet the Increased labor
cost. Arguments in the rule case al
ready have been presented boforo the
Interstate Commerce Commission at
Washington.
The express decision appllea to all ex
press employees save 2,800 ahopmen,
who were given an Increase of 13 cents
an hour In tho railway award last
month. Tho award to expressmen Is
slightly better than the average Increase
to the railroad men, the board finding
that erpres employees, as a claaa, were
not so well paid as men In other lines of
railroad work.
Four unions are affected by tho
board'a decision. They are:
The Brotherhood of Railway and
Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers,
Express and Station Employees.
The Intemaitlonal Brotherhood of
Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and
Helpers of America.
Tho Railway Express Drivers. Chauf
feurs an,d Conductora, Local No. 720, of
Chicago.
The Order f Railway Expressmen.
For the purpose of tho award the
board divided express employees In five
classes, but the Increase granted was
in each caae the same, sixteen cents an
hour. Messengers and other employees
In the train service whose hours are
computed on u haala of the 240 hour a
month will receive an Increase of $8 40.
All other employees working on the
340 hour a month basis will receive
X32.64 more. The board directs that pay
from May 1 to August 31 shall bo paid

Describing conditions in the express
service, the board states in Its deci
sion: "As In the caae of the railroad em
ployees, this long delay and succession
of disappointments (noferrlng to the un
successful efforts of the men to get an
Increase early last spring), coupled with
the pressure of a further rise In living
costs, produced deep and not unreason
able dissatisfaction on the part of cy
press employees even to a greater de
gree than upon many of the railroad
employees, as the wages paid to the
expreea employees were generally less
than those paid for analogous service
by the railroads and in many othern
dustrlea. The express employees thus felt them
selves called upon to make sacrifices

The sliver loving cup presented to F.

on behalf of navy Vard workers has,
aa all loving cups should have, three
handles. It la an ancient device said
to have been adopted when the loving
cup beverage was a horrid mixture of
wins, spirits, sugar, spices and lemon
peel. A drinker holding the cup by
one handle having; quaffed the repel
lent stuff passed It on to his right
hand neighbor, who grasped It by the
next handle, and this silly operation
being rapidly repeated around a table
set up a whirling movement to the

MORE SCHOOLS WANTED.
Washington Heights Asks for Part of
That S38.ooo.ooo.
To The sun avo Nrw York Herald:
According to report the Department of
Education will soon ask the Board of
Estimate for more than $38,000,000 for
the purchase of school sites and the
erection of new schools In The Bronx,
Brownsville. Borough Park. Coney Isl
and, Williamsburg and near East
Twelfth street and First avenue, Man
hattan. What about Washington Heights and
Inwood, where a great many children
havo been forced to attend part time
classes because of Inadequate seating
facilities? What about the Washington
Heights high school, about which there
has been much, agitation In the last
two or threo fsarsT When It comes
time to spend Uie $18,000,000 will some
ot It be apportioned to the two sections
mentioned to provide seats for all tha
children who want to attend the pub
lic schools?
The residents of Washington Heights
and Inwood would llko to have these
questions answered definitely, for there
have been many promises made to them
In the past and few of them fulfilled.
The "bungalow high school" at Acad
emy street nnd Broadway Is still In ex
istence, and there are no outward signs
thnt It will not be doing business at
the old stand when the fall term rolls
around. And there Is no evidence that
the children in these sections will not
be required to attend part time classes
I the same na they did last season.
Tljere Is as much need of relief In
Wasli ngton Heights and Inwood aa
there Is In any other part of the city,
and the Department ot Education Is
urged not to overlook this fact when
the building programme Is laid out. The
most urgent need of course ts a high
school on Washington Heights, but an
elementary school could also be used
to advantage. And Inwood stands ready
to welcome a new school building to
help out Public School :.; Parent.

The Memorial Hospital a Pioneer In
the Treatment of Cancer.
-
To Tub 6un and New York Herald:
Soma misleading statements were made,
no doubt Inadvertently. In the announce
ment of the purchase of a quantity of
radium by the State. One of these was
that there Is now no free cancer treat
ment by radium In New York State, and
that the State of New York Is the
pioneer in the treatment of cancer by
radium.
The facts are. that cancer haa been
treated free In the State of New York
since 1887 by one Institution, and, we
have no doubt, by othera The Memorial
Hospital for the Treatment of Cancer
and Allied Diseases has been treating
cancer and its allied diseases since 1887,
and exclusively since 1814. Our medical
staff, under an affiliation with the Cor
nell Medical School, has been studying
the relation of radium to the cure of
cancer continuously since 1912.
Through the generosity and vision of
the late Dr. Jamea Douglas, eminent
mining engineer and metallurgist, the
Memorial Hospital recoived in 1917 In
excess of three grams of radium, of a
value tn excess ot 1300.000, and at a
later date the hospital received, by de
posit from the United States Govern
ment, through its Bureau of Mines,
radium In excess of one-half gram, to be
uaed for the treatment of the soldiers
and sailors of the United States. Thla
amount of radium Is believed to be the
largest deposit of radium held by any
public medical Institution In the world.
and ts need exclusively for the treatment
of cancer.
The condltlona under which this
radium was given were that the poor
should be treated liberally, and when ad
visable gratuitously, but that those who
were willing and able to pay for ser
vices rendered to them should pay auch
charge as waa well within their means
for the use of the wards of the hospital,
medical care and for the uae of radium,
the Income' from such patients to be used
for the maintenance of the hospital.
In addition to the radium on deposit
with the hospital, the Memorial Hos
pital some time ago erected a laboratory
at a coat of 178,000. This laboratory Is
fully equipped for the study of cancer,
and particularly the atudy of cancer In
as they believed, far beyond those Of J" , -
any other class. Tor these reasons and $,n JS
as a measure of Justice It was decided :t Paul. .! . . 02

Alba NT; Aug. 10. The fight the
cities will make against the increased
telephone rates to go Into effect Septem

at a meeting here of corporation coun
eela Thursday afternoon. A steering
committee Is now drafting a definite
programme of action, which, the com
mltteo says, Is for the protection of the
public.
Edmund H. Lewis, Corporation Coun
sel of .Syracuse, the chairman, said that
an appeal for action against the In
creased ratea may be made directly to
the Supreme Court on the ground that
little relief has so far been secured from
the Public Service Commission, which Is
still Investigating the telephone rate
boost of last December. Mr. I ..-wis
Is of the opinion that the Supreme Court
can take up such an appeal on the plea
that the rates are extortionate.
Lawyers of the New York Telephone

ot the cities against th used rates.
The entire legal force of the company
will confer here on Thursday at the same
