WHY HOT CONTROL TAXI CABS? Tha Vlllase Board of Hempstoad' Is noKotlating wUh tbo Long Island Railroad Company for permission to have all public vehicles, such as taxi, cabs, Btaad on the property of the railroad company, along aide tbe sta¬ tion. This certainly is a very lauda¬ ble effort and it is earnestly to be hoped that the desired consent of the railroad cempany can bo obtained. With the great congcatlon of traflic In this village, it haa become imper¬ ative to provide parking and hack stands, where vehicles can remain without cluttcrinjj tlie streets in front of the business places and mak¬ ing it impossible for thc occupants of stores and offices and their custo¬ mers to reach the curb. The Board at the same time is endeavoring to eause as little Incouveaiouce as pos- siblo tu the useru of cars and rcHi- dents of other thun thc business streets. When the parking and hack aland qtiestioa la flnally Bcttlcd thc Board can well couHldcr wlictlier or not it Is not proper to retain control of thc taxi-cab ownors who are at prenent soliciting farcu on thc public high¬ ways and to take control of those Who are uning the Btreets but wlio are parking on the Long Island Rail¬ road Company's property. There has been no attempt to li¬ cense the taxi-cubs which stand on tho railroad property, tlio tacit uu- deratanding seeiuing to be that, bo- cuuse thoy pay a rental to the Long Island Kailroad Company they shoukl pay no license to tho village. The understanding aticius to be should the uthor taxi-cabs be placed on railroad property, no license Would bo requii'cd of tliein. Juut wheKc thiB idoa originated wo cannot suy. PoBslbly some VlUiiige Board liuM conuidurcd that, .because tho owueiH liad to pay rcint to the railroad company, they should not eoatrOI. Erary Hty «&«! moet vU, lagn* licaose twct «ahe in ttrgar t» oaoltol itMtti otgarmrlta ahwnu ara likely to occur. Why shcnild Hemp¬ stead or aoy oUWrr Lon< island vii- 1«M fail to oontrol th«in? Some OQC has arfuad that, as tbe taxi «abs stand on private property and do not ¦oliclt buslnaM on th« pablic hlshway. tbey are tnwHina from control. Taxi cabs startiac from the Pennsytvania station In New Yorh eitr are licensed and are nader tbe control of thc city gpvernmeat. Would it not bo well for all ril. lage boards to license all taxi cabs and flx a fare and reasonable rate /or the service they give? It would protect the fair and honest owner, as well as the public, from the itn- scrupuleus. DROPS 12,500 FEET TO XARTH W'e tttuught that w<! W^ri> smant la attiool, UotU tafi fltried WUh a wnic.

It isn't fair, according to the motlters who gath¬ ered lierc yesterday for the twenty- I'fth annual convention of the National (^>i)Bra«s of Mothers and Parcnt-Tcaak- ers A^ociatiou. "Sweet Sixteen" had her inning and grundmother went on the grill when delegates to thc convention aired their views on dress reform. "We should begin with grandmother," saW Mrs. OrvHle T. Bright, of Chicago. "When women of sixty-five walk the streets In skirts that come nearly to their knees and with rouge on their checks, what can we expect from the girls? "Vicwlngctheni from thc rear, you can't tell grandmothers nowadays from sixteen year old girls. "It's both pathetic and disgusting to SCO old women who ought to kn()w bet¬ tor with skirts so short you can see their silk-stockinged legs above their ankles. I am not one who thinks grand¬ mothers shoukl sit in tho corner and fold their bands, liut it is ssiil to see thom trying to compete with silly girl.'! ill their dross. It niak-es one long for tho dear old grandmother of the jmst v/illi her cap and fichu. "it is not only grandmother but moth¬ er who should practice dress reform l>e- fiire preaching to the girls." Oiggly Oci-aldine may giggle at this hut lot her take warning thot it doesn't mean, notwithstanding her scandalous' grandmother, that she. can go to school all rougiHJ iind silk-stockinged and evci-y- tliing. Not if the Natlonni Congress of niiiUiers ha.s anytliing to say about it. The congress which rft>resoiits throe luiiidred thousand mothers and fathers and teachers and has dclcg.ttcs a*find¬ ing its convention hero from fo'-iy states is .agreed on the following plat¬ form of dress notes: .No rouge or powder. ¦ No silk stockings. .No narrow skirts. No high heels. ^ Many of tho delegates advol;ate a uni¬ form dress, but the majority sxiy "iij)- propriatc dre.ss" is enough to urge with the coinrnnn Bcii.se of motherij to decide what' Is apiiropriate and whtf't is not.

Amtalbar ,MnJmia In tlw laM flie yvaim K^ Tork bas Itad the opportunity to aee a variety of Macbeths, ranging f^«im that at Janies K. tteckett and of Robert Mantell, to that tt John Kellcrd and of Trtta Leiber. Sir Herbert Tree gave a sceae from his production at a special matinee, and the atmoapherc uf tbc Apolk; Theatre can not be aaid to be outirtly free even now of tito smofch trtm tho laat revi\jal, but one of WuUceaimare's avift tragedy. Eight years ago, une couid have seen the Macbeth ot Olword II. Sothern. This aeaaon there bav« been four dIBercnt aotom essairinc the role of tl>e Thane of Cawder. Bo tttat anyone who has been a consistent play¬ goer, devoted to the greatest plays in thc langnagc, has had a fair oppor¬ tunity tu meaaiure artistic dlatanocs during -ttae last ten years, by means ol these various Macbeths. With the arrival of Walter Hamp¬ den's Mactieth at thc Bruadhurst Theatre last Tuesday evening, came thc Itest* portrayal of thc character that iifis fallen to the observation of the writer, t* whom all the Macbeths just nion¬ tloned arc familiar. This young Ameri' can, working with none of thc brilliancy of suiipurt or lavishncits of setting*— both of which have otten t>oen accorded otfier Macbeths—brought to his inter¬ pretation such a wealth of cloiiucnt ex¬ pression, such u rich and nicely modu¬ lated voice, such a spontaneouy out¬ burst of einutioa teniperwl witta Isi- aginatiun. thut at times hc arousod tho houso to such acclaiui that it became difficult to l>elievc we we*ie at a i>cr/ur- niaace of a play Ui' the dramnilHt some¬ times ac!cused of licing old-fashionod. That is as it should be. -Vll Macbeth needs to carry cunviotiun to us is an artist. When Margaret Angliii plays Macbeth—hasten thc day!—theu shall ono have lila very wlthws wrung with the pronouncement, "Tho raven himsulf i.s hoarse that croaks tho fatal entrance of Duncan under my iMttlemciits." Mr. Iliinipdcn, by natural feeling, by ti'uin- ing, and by Imaginative .scope, is thst artist. Hc restores to the scbool- riddled lines their own deep beauty; he shows nti a. man who dares tlo all that may bocoiiie a man, who in doin;^ more becoiuea less than one. Hc .so swept tho writer from tho self-conscious states that it ¦will be necessary to go to "Idac- iK-th" again lo get a record of his read¬ ing of ".She should have died hereafter; tlicro would have been a time lor such a word"—a passage which haa always been a matter of conscious critical ia¬ terest to us. .\ simple yet rugged production, de- sl.?;ii<>il by <'Iaiide Biagdon, dcservon much iiraisc, for it makes rapid clijMUfcs liossilile. with ihe attendant gracious shortening of tho ihlurrals between ai-eiics. Thc setting places MaclX'th's iM-dnaom at thc top of a flight of stairs, near thc foot of which is a landing from Which opens Duncan's chamber. Thus llic at:vgo dtrec.tion makes Lady MacJx^tb halt at tho open door ot thc King's inxiin while Macbeth Is about thc murder. Hero Miss Hall, iu no hushed ur vaiU>4 accents, Informs tho whole castle that she has prepared everything for the iiiurdcr of Duncan. It is a small matter, but it jarred. Mr. Hampden illuminated the text with a new, piece of action: hc holds Maclx'th on tho staircase long enough for him to overhear the plans of Mal¬ colm and Donalbain to flee; then, after ho has taken I..ady Ma(;l>cth to Iwr chamber, Maclx-th is made to return to A Nxeltal ef aoncn by Mrlito tend 8i|,ra SCHOOL BOND SALE t WMJ^oq ift Vnjoa fVeo Vs. ate «r Ike Towa of Kaaaaa and S4a»r « «*el«<lt eo tlic Iftl UWON ntM gCmOtH.
