IS. Preparations for tho exhibit are now well-nigh complete.

It wu announced yesterday, and the work done by the committee In charge. It Is said, has been of unusual magnitude. Such prominent students of sociology as Prof. Edwin R. A.

Flnley, Homer Folks. Judge Franklin C. Hoyt. Judge W. H.

Olmated. Mrs. Florence Kelley. Charles T. Powllson, and Walter Harrey have been active members of various committees.

Borne of these committees have worked Jointly where there was an Interrelation, as the Committers on Streets and on Recreation and Amusements, of which Jacob A. mis and Prof. Edwin R. A. Sells-tnan are Chairmen.

Some of their Interesting exhibits will be social maps of six sections In Manhat tan, the Bronx, and Brooklyn, snowing the locations of the recreational, social, and educational facilities In these sections, with a table giving a most Interesting picture of the human opportunities offered the population of congested districts In this city. The map of the Man-- battan section bounded by the Hudson River. West Fifty-second Street. Klghth Avenue and West Forty-second Street, comprising about nine miles of streets, with a population of close to 35.000. shows these provisions: aaloons 119 Panes halls 1 Hotels tank .5 iinj, hopa TbCl.urches 13 rooms and Benevolent in.tltu- reiurant 1 tionf.

Other exhibits of these two committees will be the dangers of child life In playing upon the streets, analysts of street dirt, and the interfering powers of dif ferent city departments in keeping the streets clean and properly paved; accidents on the street, and street crime, showing not only the moral danger the street, but the unhappy fact that the chtff activities the healthy boy can and hould engage In are banned by law jr practiced on the street, and subject the child, if he express his normal tendencies, to the risk of a debasing contact with the criminal law. Traffic and its regulation, showing the appalling number of deaths and Injuries to children arising from it in congested districts have also been studied by the Recreation Committee. Photographs or roups of children In different sections of the city have been taken by the committee, which show an overwhelming proportion of children's time Bpent In "aimless standing The candy shop and its effects on the young ranks in importance In the work of this committee.

In many congested districts the candy shops and stands far outnumber the saloons. In the exhibit a model of a typical candy shop, with Its post cards, dime novels, and soda water, as well as its candy, will be shown. Samples of candy have been purchased and analysed by the Health Department. The evil of selling candy which has been kept uncovered and exposed to street dust will be graphically displayed on a pushcart. The development of the movlng-plcture show ss a form of social entertainment will also be a part of the exhibit.

There are of these shows in Manhattan, which reach people weekly, and at least a half million children. Their undesirable features have been taken up the committee, and suggestions made as to their Improvement. Low-priced theatres, the vaudeville, burlesque, and melodrama, and the cheap muslo hall have been made a special study because of the number of children under mat anenu them; even the high-priced theatres have been Investigated. Tho conclusions reached through this threefold study of the drama of New York show that the high-priced or so-called standard theatre Is actually reaching only a minute fraction of the theatregolng population, and a totally inalgniricant proportion oi cnii-dren; that the vaudeville houses are reaching weekly an Impressively Important tiumbjr of persons, and this form of entertainment is rapidly on the increase; the burlesque houses sre presenting what Is aa an undesirable form of theatrical entertainment, and are reaching a large number of young people, particularly boys. A very exhaustive study has been made the dance places chiefly in Manhattan.

Dancing academies In Manhattan, the com- mlttee says, are teaching annually some 10O.UK persons to dance, and of these 43 per cent, are under ltt and MO per cent, under 21. Thus practically the entire population between 14 and 20 of the clerical aiwl working classes Is taught annually. These fig-urea become doubly eignlflcant wheu It Is known that about half of the dancing academies are rated as undesirable places for young women. The dance halls where public dancing wtrhout Instruction Is carried on have an estimated attendance of between 4.0O0.OH0 arvi B.OOO.OOO persons a year. The" exhibit will display photographs of dancing academies In Harlem.

THE FIELD OF VACCINES. 8lr Almroth E. Wright Names All-- mente In Which They are Useful. Almroth E. Wright the distinguished EnfUsh physician, whose experiments led to the present wide employment of the Vaccine treatment In the prevention of typhoid fever, has outlined in The Lancet his views as to the value of vaccine therapy In general.

He finds that a considerable number of diseases are likely to to modified or cured outright by ihW HBOda of medical procedure. fir Almroth's article Is summarised In The Medical Record. The writer saya In part: Vaccine therapy promises to be brilliantly -successful In pneumonia; It nolds out promise In typhoid fever and In many torros of rheumaliem; it uppies uie only ray of hope In endocarditis; Tnoculatlou or tyatrm of regulated autoinoculatlon Ja the only standby In phthisis; It has al-rwady proved Its superiority over operai- ie procedures la tuberculous glands and many other forms of tuberculous Infec-tlon: It he also riven very favorable results In diseases of the mouth, nose, and ear. Extensive tuberculous ulcers have healed up under vaccine therapy without tho of acar tissue. X-ray dermatitis, with extensive streptococcus ln- feet ion, and Inflammatory tru at the roots of the teeth have responded favorably to the iss of vaccine.

It as probable, also, that It may yet be of value In Eay fever, calculus, Indigestion, vomiting, epilepsy, cancer, and diabetes.

PROPOSE TO LICEHSE AUTOMOBILE OWNERS Highways Association Finds That They Cause More Accidents Than the Chauffeurs.

I last, l.OJO persons were killed or seriously Injured on the The National Highways Protective Association has been gathering evidence In the last fsw months to use before the Legislature in January, when an effort will be made to amend the Callan law eo that owners of automobiles will be obliged to obtain licenses. Just as professional chauffeurs do at present. Statistics compiled 'by the association and made public yesterday show that a large percentage of the automobile accidents In Nw Tork City, since the passage of the Callan law, wero caused by owners of automobiles rather than by the licensed chauffeurs.

The association's figures also show that Manhattan In November last, shows that in Manhattan alone nine persons were killed outright end twenty-six were In jured. Pour of these were killed by streets of New Tork by traffic vehicles, automobiles and nine injured. In Kings including automobiles, auto trucks, street County thero were four klUed r. 1in 1 injured. In Queens two killed and two In curs, and wagons.

Of this number I1 in th. Bron two killed and sixteen were killed outright and R1T were seriously Injured, some of them crippled for life. Fifty per cent, of the total number were children. Klghty-two of the 1G3 deaths were caused by automobile. Of the Injured.

032 persons were hurt by automobiles. AutomoDllc were responsible for more than CO per cent, of the death. It Is also shown that In August, since the Callan law went into effect, the percentage of accidents caused by automobile owners operating their own cars, was 2U, and in September '-J per cent. One argument which will bo made bo-fore the Legislature is that owners who operate cars are. as a rule, not so i skilled as are the licensed chauffeurs.

The low nrlce at which automobiles can be obtained now has greatly Increased the number of owners who know little or nothing about skifred manipulation of their machines on the streets of th dty, says the association. In August alone the number of deaths on New Tork streets, for which owners of automobiles are held responsible, seven. And in the following month, ac- owners of machines. kr.led. but three were Injured.

Of the accidents in New York State outside of this city, trolleys and wagons killed no one, but autemob'les killed four persons and injured twenty-eight in November. -Accidents due to taxlcaba In this city between Jan. 1 and Dec. 1 were: Totsl kIKed. six; total Injured, fifty-seven.

Of this number five children under IS years of age were Injured, and one died as a result of Injuries. The number of taxlcaba that- figured In the accidents wero fifty-one. Six taxlcah drivers escaped after the accidents. One returned and surrendered himself to the police, his excuse being that he did not stop at tne time of the accident because he had a sick man as fare, who fainted immediately after tho accident and had to be taken home at once.

GIMBEL BROTHERS 7 BROADWAY O.XTHA.VCNUK NEW YORK TtllfCTY-SCCONO sr tmm'Xtusasn Rug As to the Purchase from The Persian Importing Co. These rugs were purchased by Messrs. Shimmon Samuel, two native Persians, in the interior of the Empire during the past two and a half years. The revolution which has driven the natives from their homes forced thousands, both rich and poor, to sell their household treasures, and these men were able to take advantage of such conditions and make purchases of rugs more beautiful than any ever offered in the markets, at their own prices.

Antiques from the homes of the Royalists arid from the collections of the Crown Prince himself are among those contained in the fifty bales about to be offered in this City. These rugs were entered at the Port of Boston, but although they were invoiced at the actual cost in Persia, the Government Appraisers advanced their value in some cases four and five hundred per cent, and it was only after a long trial before the General Appraiser at the Port of New York that the importers were able to satisfy the authorities as to the accuracy of the astounding prices which they had paid for these beautiful rugs and were allowed to pay the duty and obtain possession of the same. Here are a few LETTERS which indicate the high regard in which eminent authorities hold the gentlemen from whom this important purchase was made by GIMBEL BROTHERS: American Consular Serrlc.

1910 My Dear Mr. Samuel: I have Just received irom the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury a letter In reply to my letters regarding the seizure of your one bale of rugs, in which he writes: "Since returning to the Department I have taken up the question of the predicament of the two Persians from Urumia over the Importation of rugs. The rug which was seized end held by the Appraiser at the Port of Boston was found to be undervalued. It seems that before I received notification from you. the fact of the seizure of the rug had been reported to the United States District Attorney, as required by law.

From your statement in the case It is not irnprobable that the District Attorney will find that there was no intentional fraud and will recommend the release of the rug on payment of the duty. If he should so report, the rug will be released at New York. "On the strength of your endorsement of them. I have asked the Attorney General to request the United States District Attorney to take Into consideration their lack of knowledge of our language and the fact that you know them to be men of high character, whose blunder was mere unintentional clerical error. I trust that In due time you may get the bale that has been seized.
