Bennett Field Ranked Among Best Airports Meteoric Development of Former Mudflat Seen as Only a Beginning From a mud flat virtually waste land to a place in the sun as one of the nation's finest airports the short space of two and a half years. Such Is the meteoric career of Floyd Bennett Airport, ptide of Brooklyn and the northeastern seaboard and, according to MaJ. J.

Nelson Kelly, Its manager, that career actually has only just started. When the field was dedicated on May 23, 1931, there were many skeptics who predicted dismal failure. V- Who would go out there? Other airports are more accessible, better situated, more central and so forth, were but a few of the commente of the so-called experts. Must 'Eat Their Words' What has happened, however, has served to make them eat their words. One by one the other airports Long Island are closed or are ap-proacning it.

Latest of thie is the famous Curtiss-Wtight Flvne Field at Valley Stream, L. which will close "for the Winter, beginning Jan. 1," Those close to the industry, however, feel such action is merely a prologue to the final closing of he geld in which more than $2,000,000 has oeen sunk. When first opened in 19' when aviation was at its peak and every field was a beehive of activity, nothing was too far-fetched in the way of predictions for the success of the field. Today that is all changed Flovd Bennett Airnort has everv.

That is the "Reveillon." thing, and more, that every other 'I Writer Denies Science Basis Of Astrology Heredity More Potent Than Stars, Lives of 9,000 Show, He Says By JOHN J. A. O'NEILL Scfence Editor of Tho, Eagle When astrology is brought into court as a science, as suggested by Judge John F. Hylan, it Is gaining admission under false pretenses Astrology Is not a science.

It is utterly without scientific foundation. This statement is made with full regard for the claims of astrologers who declare it is a mathematical science. It is not. There is not a scintilla of scientific evidence that the planets have any effect whatever on our lives. I have searched for such evidence and have been unable to ftnd any I doubt if any exists.

I have investigated the birth month of 9,000 of the country's leading citizens with reference to their occupation. Before the inquiry is complete I will have Investigated 100,000 such cases. I find no evidence to support the claims of the astrologists. Questions Birth Date In the first place the astrolo-oglsts cast their heroscopos on the time of a person's birth. The time of conception and period of gestation are far more important.

Biological conditions preceding and following birth exert Immeasurably greater influences on us than do any configurations of the stars or planets, and the sun is Included. There are solar influences but they are indirect. The birth curve, for Australia cor-sponds very closely with that of the United States. This is true In spite of the fact that Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere, where the Summer and Winter seasons are in reverse with those of the Northern Hemisphere. There should be a six months difference in the time of the peaks and hollows of the two curves.

Instead there Is an extremely close correspondence. The fact that the people of Australia and those of the United States come from the same ethnic stock seems to have a much greater bearing on the birth curve than the reversed seasons. Neglects Pre-Natal Existence Astrology completely neglects the individual's pre-natal existence. The males have a particularly dif-, ficult Job of even being born alive. During the first three months of gestation four times more males than females succumb and are born dead.

In the fourth month the chances are still two to one against the males. In later months their chances Improve. The number of still births are fairly uniform throughout the year except from May to September, during which period the curve is dropping sharply, in October it jumps up again to normal. This holds true year after year, regardless of the changing planetary configurations. Astrologists undertake to read from their horoscopes Information about the occupation for which the person concerned is destined.

This Is a matter which can be up, The "house" or section of the sky in which the sun is located dominates, according to the astrologists, the personal characteristics, the planets being modifying influences. Studied 9,000 Cases The persons best suited for the occupation in which they are engaged would be expected to be the most successful. A listing of the most successful In any field would therefore be a list of those best adapted for their Jobs, regardless oi what Influence determines this. I have studied the distribution through the year of the births of 9,000 leading men In about a dozen occupations and professions. If the claims of astrology are founded on truth there should be a great bunching of the birthdays of men in each occupation in the "house" which exerts the most favorable Influence for a particular occupation.

Distribution Uniform The Investigation of these 9.000 men shows that this is not the case. Instead there Is quite a uniform distribution throughout the year. Among bankers 92.6 percent oi the birth months are equally distributed among the la months. Exactly the same number was born in each month with the exception V. ship lanes.

Stockings in the chimney, snow on the gound and reindeer in the air, are lacking in Paris, or are replaced by other traditions. Much of the pesentatlon of gifts is, more- over, delayed until New Year's Day, but the- "Reveillon" Is an indispensable part of the fete. A reveillon is a wake. Translated literally the word means "Let us but In action it means stay awake, eat, pop corks, pour bubble water, and sing until dawn. That is exactly what French families, and resident American fam- Pere Noel," the French Santa Clans, is recognizable to American children only by his sack of gifts, never very full.

Hies so far as the depreciated dollar will allow them, will do tonight. Morning After Painfnl So would you be doing were you there. But tomorrow you would have a grain of sand under each eyelid, shoulders weighted with lead, legs as limp as boiled macaroni and a sensation of brotherhood with what you see in the trash cans. Two weeks before Christmas an American, busy trying to reproduce a home Christmas atmosphere In a foreign city, notices signs In big restaurants. In little ones, even In bars, reading, "Reveillon" and naming various prices.

"Wnat's this 'Reveillon'?" he quizzes some American who has lived through one. "Oh, you reserve a table In a place that fits your pocketbodk. You get up a party, and you eat, drink and sing 'til the sun comps uO." To many American drinkers the description will evoke the wrong picture. The reveillon is better than that. It may be the bubbly wine.

It may be the temperament of the people. At any rate the atmosphere is one of light gaiety, almost nev-r carried to a distasteful exteme; of fast, witty, impromptu entertainment; of rapid-fire singing or chanting; of satirical songs with a Gilbert and Sullivan tang, nearly all of it spontaneous. Only morning after is heavy, and that weighs like an International investment banker's conscience. One 'Reveillon' Menu Before the war the "Reveillon" supper of Paris consisted of oysters. 61,000 pounds of sausages, 26,000 pounds of boudin, 39,000 pounds each of pigs' feet and hard sausages, 100.000 'pots of fole gras, 176,000 pounds of sauerkraut, 48,000 pounds of ham, 13.000 pounds of cheese.

30.000 geese, 20,000 turkeys, 80,000 chickens and 6,000 pheasants. To wash this down Parisians drank 125.000 bottles of champagne, 250.000 bottles of red and white wines, 450.000 quarts of beer, 40,000 pitchers of punch and 15.000 bottles of liqueurs and brandies. 'Pere Noel' Different The French have the chimney tradition of Christmas, but it resembles ours very slightly. You discover that Santa Claus Is called "Pere that he has no coat; that he has no fur-trimmed headgear, no beard, no boots and thai he does not come from any mysterious region around the North Pole. On the contrary he Is an old.

Up to the end of September ot this year 140,000 landings were recorded at the field, and passengers carrie 1 totaled 47,235. Mure than 13,200 pounds of mail and express have been handled at the airport, and all told there are more than 70 planes housed there.

It is estimated that nearly persons have visited the airport; 250,000 came to see Italo Balbo's ltaliar air squadron, 50,000 to greet Wiley Post at the end of his round-the-world (light and 30,000 to greet the Mollisons on their transatlantic flight, which, unhappily, ended In a crackup at Bridgeport, Conn. Twenty-two planes, unable to make Newark Airport because of fog or other weather conditions, have landed at Floyd Bennett Field. Yet Newark is the airmail terminus for this area, Held Logical choice On this subject Major Kelly la positive it will not be long before his field proves to the Administration that it is the more logical choice and that there will be a change, Floyd Bennett Field being named as the airmail terminus. Out at Brooklyn's field, too, there is every feeling that Mayor-elect LaGuardia, wartime flier and who today still is a rabid fan, will put forth his best efforts in behalf of the field. He is well known and equally well liked there.

In its short lease of life IJloyd Bennett Field already has left its mark in aviation's hall of fame as Eagle's Fight For Interboro Parkway Won Moses Lauds Campaign in Announcing Exten sion Into Brooklyn The long fight which has been led by The Eagle to bring the Interboro Parkway actually into Brooklyn has finally been won, Robert Moses, chairman of the Long Island State Park Commission, announced yesterday that the original plans which contemplated a western terminus of the parkway at Ridgewood Reservoir and that point on traffic would follow one of the Highland Park roads into Highland Boulevard, has been revised. Under the new plan the western terminus will be moved on to Highland Boulevard and Bushwick an addition of approximately one mile. Where Extension Will Run The extension will run along the back of Highland Park and will take in about seven and one-half acres of land in Evergreens Cemetery. It will also be necessary to rebuild the viaduct on Hughland Boulevard and to provide for appropriate underpasses and entrances. This extension of the parkway will bring the west end within easy reach of Jamaica Eastern Parkway, Bushwick Broadway and Atlantic Ave.

In announcing the extension, Mr. Moses lauded the efforts of The Eagle to bring the parkway into Brooklyn and said in part: 'Valiant Fight' "It must be a source of satisfaction to The Brooklyn Eagle to see the Interboro Parkway actually brought into Brooklyn, because The Eagle fought valiantly for so many years for the small isolated section of the Interborough through the cemeteries. "The existence of this link, even though it was Isolated, and although its subsequent construction was far from perfect, has enabled the State authorities to make the whole vitally important connection between Brooklyn and the Grand Central Parkway. "I have no hesitation in saying that much of the original inspiration for a parkway link to Brooklyn came from The Eagle and the Ten Year Plan. The quarter of a century fight for the drive through the cemeteries has therefore been fully Justifled.i Wild Duds Move Into Jones Beach Bird Sanctuary Motorists driving out on the Long Island highways nave recently noted huge flocks tl wild ducks, sometimes a thousand at a time, feeding nearby or fluttering up from the roadside.

Although the hunting season is still on and the period of the Southward bird migration, which brings hundreds of thousands of wild ducks and geese to the island In the Pall, is over, many of them are still there. Observers have noted that ever since the bird sanctuary was established at Jones Beach Park the birds have apparently been aware that they can stay there without being molested. At any rate there they are, and frequently they overflow into the woods and large estates throughout Suffolk and Nassau. The game keeper on the Marshall Field estate. Lloyds Neck, yesterday reported seeing several thousands of wild fowl feeding on the pond on the estate, and during ths first cold snap of the Fall he saw at least ten flocks of Canadian geese in one day, 400 to 500 geese in each flock.

In the vicinity of Port Jefferson on the North Shr of Suffolk County, hunters reported unusually large numbers of wild ducks. And at Roslyn, Arthur Williams, retired financier and chairman of the American Museum of Safety, announced that he would give a Christmas party for the large flocks of wild ducks which have taken up their residence on and around the lake on his estate. Would End Tipping Can't Be Done Is Ultimatum of Owners In direct contrast with the local Joint executive board of the New York unions of waiters and othei restaurant workers, which has gone on record at favoring abolition of the tipping system in eating houses and opposing the NRA code now awaiting President Roosevelt's signature, William Michel, president of the Restaurateurs Association of Brooklyn, opposes the first and favors the latter. "The quicker the code submitted to Washington by the National Restaurants Association in co-operation with our organization is signed, the better for all concerned," Mr. Michel believes.

"Tipping is a well established custom and can never be abolished, both for personal and economic reasons. As for the wage and work week demands of the unions, they'd run us all out of business." The code now being considered provides for a six-day. 54-hour work eek for waiters, with pay at the rate of 28 cents an hour for those In establishments where tips are not received, and 14 cents an hour for waiters in the higher class places. The rates of pay for restaurants in the Southern States are proportionately lower. From amounts, however, the restaurants reserve the right to deduct 25 cents for each meal eaten by the waiter at his place of business.

Unions in Opposition The restaurant employes' unions on the other hand, are unalterably opposed to any such regulations. They demand a 45-hour work week with a minimum wage of $30. They also favor doing away with the tipping practice. At a recent meeting of the joint board of the unions that body adopted a resolution advocating these demands and threat-rning a general strike unless these demands are heeded. The strike would n.Vict some 30,000 workers in Greater tw York.

Tn employes contend that the wages provided for In the proposed code are Vess than half those now being paid and that the proposal to force waiters to pay for their meals is contrary to all established precedent. Michel's Defense of Code "It is true that some restaurants lid, and some are now paying slave Vages," Mr. Michel stated, "but all well places will be eliminated when the code is signed. The unions are infair. Hours have always been long in our industry, and the code provisions are consideraby better those which have been in practice heretofore.

"If the code is signed there will at least 5.000 additional men put lo work in the 3,000 restaurants in Brooklyn within two weeks," he continued. "We have always de-Jucted for meals in making our calculations for employes' pay. If -e did not do this, and If we acquiesced to the unions' demands, 'e would all be out of business In so time at all. "If the unions go on strike when fie code is signed and I believe 'hat they will they will only be harming every one concerned. There will be plenty ot men who are now unemployed who will be More than willing to take their places.

Europe Failed to End Tipping "The abolition of tipping has been tried in Europe without success. Doing away with tipping will only result in poor service, and then the customers will be dissatisfied. "I believe," Mr. Michel added, "that the great majority of waiters would rather subscribe to the code than be paid according to the union demands. In several places such wages have been offered them and they have refused them Tipping gives the waiters a chance to earn more each week than they otherwise would be able, and for the most part they are all in favor of continuing the practice." Sees Jobs for Thousands Asked when he thought the proposed code will be signed, Mr.

Michel stated that he had bren assured that it will be In effect by the first of the new year, and that If such is the case thousands of men will immediately be given employment. Retail Code Botlv Fislils Sales Tax The retail code authority, through Its chairman. Grover A. Whalen, yesterday went on record publicly in a letter to Senator Seabury C. Mas-tick, chairman of the New York State Commission for the Revision of the Tax Law, as vigorously opposing a proposed fvo-cent sales tax and pointing out that the enactment of such tax legislation would drive many small merchants out of business.

The code authority is composed ot representative merchants of the city and supervises the functioning ot the retail code among 50,000 merchants.

Washington, Dec. 23 Speaker Rainey said today that hitherto unpublished letters of Abraham Lincoln, showing that the Civil War President took a drink of liquor whenever the social graces demanded it, were being offered for sale to the Government for historical purposes. Rainey, who represents in Congress the same Illinois District that Lincoln did, also showed reporters two of Lincoln's notebooks, one con taining clippings of the Lincoln-Stephen A. Douglas debates in Illinois, and the other clippings relating to slavery with his personal notations. Old City Hall Made to Shine For LaCuardia Ancient Pile Gets Thorough Cleaning Against NewRegime's Entrance Old City Hall is Its best to present a new and shining face to the new administration.

When Mayor-elect LaGuardia and his associates step in on Jan. 2 they vill face the gleaming results of months of labor in redecorating and cleaning. According to Peter Chieffo, veteran custodian of City Hall, this Is a Job that is traditionally done at the end of each administration. Of course, the ordinary routine task of keepin; the municipality's most dignified office building neat and clean requires the daily efforts of 7 porters and 13 women cleaners. But the big "Spring cleaning" cones once every four years.

It's a business that any housewife would be interested In from start to finish. Chandeliers a Task First and foremost in the way of interesting houseclcaning Jobs at the Hall is the intricate business of cleaning tHe 25 crystal chandeliers that are scattered through the historic pile. These chandeliers would delight tne neart of any one enthusiastic about early Americana or any one who is fond of beautiful things regardless of art and artistry. The crystal pendants, about 100 on each chandelier, all of them perfect prisms, are hooked to the frames of the structures. So are the long, diamond-glittering chains ol octagonal crystals that look for all the world when they are detached like necklaces to ransome a king or tempt a queen.

The globes over the electric lights are, ol course, detachable in the ordinary way. The globes are cleaned once every month. The crystals get an overhauling three times a year. Detaching Crystals a Specialty The work of detaching the crystals is a specialty of one cleaner. Edward Buckley, who has been carefully trained to it by Chieffo and his chief assistant.

It is a slow, tedious Job that must be done with loving care. It takes nearly half an hour to remove the gleaming glass from one chandelier. Once the bits are removed they are carefully washed In a solution of warm water soap and sal soda, rubbed with a soft towel and slowly, painstakingly replaced. Virtually all the offices have been repainted. The Board of Estimate Chamber, the Committee of the Whole Room and the Aldermanic Chamber have been gone over a big Job that took most of the Summer months to accomplish.

Reporters Butts of Jokers The reporters' room, If you please, wa? In the throes of repainting this past week with the scribes sitting on and at their desks in the hallway. Of course, mostly every pass ing Alderman soliticitously inquired why the "city marshal" had been around to eject them. Numerous were the jokes about unpaid rent. Virtually all of the work has been done by the regular cleaning force of the Hall, plus Emergency Relief work assistants. The bulk of the painting was undertaken by the two painters regularly assigned to City Hall by the Borough President of Manhattan.

dawn, when sirens heralded the birth of the eagerly-awaited heir, a robust child weighing pounds, reached a climax tonight, when one shouting group after another sent up prayers of thanksgiving. Dispatches described similar scenes in all cities of the empire. The princeling's birth inaugurated, a season of celeb- scheduled to last through the first week of the new year. Beginning today police relaxed their restrictions on cafes and amusement places, usually lifted only during the new year season. Humble Birth No Bar Against Ruling Tibet Magi of Lhasa See Babe Born Nearest to Death of Lama as Successor The magi or lesser lamas of the arid, altitudlnous empire of Tibet are doubtless now poking their heads and medieval instruments of calculation in the tents and hovels that lay within a week's camel ride pf the sacred and mysterious city of Lhasa.

That Is, this is what is happening in what would be the other side of the world from New York if history and custom are being followed in the unique empire. And Tibet has followed these customs since the humble Buddha began guiding the destinies of hundreds of millions of brown and yellow skinned peoples while sitting under a ban yan tree in India centuries before Christ. Selecting Next Dalai Lama The lamas, protruding their tallow lamps and inquisitive queries into these hovels and huts, are selecting the next Dalai Lama to reign over the plateau empire of 3,000,000 unquestioning souls. The babe they select out of a patchwork and probably a nitary cradle will be the next supreme ruler of the mysterious land. Tibet's Dalai Lama died last week.

The selection of his successor is the nearest thing to the practice of reincarnation on the globe. Humble Birth No Bar The late Dalai Lama attained his gold robes, his spiritual eminence and his autocratic rule by strict adherence to the old Tibetan tenet. When Tibet's "Living Buddha" or "Jewel of Majesty," as the Dalai Lama is saluted, died, the late lamented one's cabinet and advisors seek the Tibetan infant born nearest to the exact moment to his majesty's death to carry on the rule. Humility of birth is no bar. The chance-born babe is lifted from his cradle of goat or camel skin and borne in luxury to the most sacred of Lhasa's palaces.

There he is brought up by these magi, or lesser lamas, to the autocratic power to which he is destined. Faces Intrigue So little Is known of the inner workings of Lhasa or the politics of Lamalsm to the Caucasian world that one might suppose that, from hence on, the selected Dalai Lama will have a happy and beneficent reign. He may have. But what little of mysterious Tibet's history leaks out the lesser Lamas, like the ward heelers of Tammany, have their Intrigues and what-not. Tibet's history is full of Dalai Lamas who died suddenly before reaching their majority, with the supposition that they were poisoned and that the elder lama statesmen went on in their own way.

Reached Ripe Age of 60 The late Dalai Lama was fortunate enough to attain the age of 60, though, whether through accident or his attainments is not revealed. The late Dalai Lama was also one of the exceptional Tibet rulers whose Identity and acts, In a modicum, were destined to be known to the outside world. He sat on the Tibetan throne some years ago when the Marquis of Clydesdale and the two companions sought permission to fly over Mount Everest, the Buddhist's "Home of the Gods." I party had to promise his supreme Tibetan being that they would soar high enough above the 28.000 foot peak not to disturb the deities, before the late Dalai Lama would give his consent to the flight, which, incidentally, did not materialize. Radical Departure This concession was a radical departure from the Tibetan tradition, but Britain buys wool and hides from the strange empire. The late Dalai Lama attained International prominence on another occasion.

The Tibetan tradition is that the Dalai Lama shares his eminence with the Panchen Lama, the latter being the reincarnated Buddha and the former his earthly representative. Seldom has this arrangement brought tranquility in the Tibetan house, and the late Dalai Lama appears not to have been the exceptional soul who would pass up' Intrigue. Fled to China In any event, the most recent Panchen Lama fled to Mongolia in 1924 to seek the aid of Chinese followers In returning to rule. Only last October the late Dalai Lama was reported to be In a frame of mind tb admit the exiled Panchen Lama back to joint rule, but nothing came of this report. The lot of the new Dalai Lama to be selected may not, for all its promp and power, be an envious one.

snow or a reindeer. He climbs down chimneys like our Santa Claus, but the sack he carries is not our overstuffed gift sack. It is a limp, sagging bag with a small lump in the bottom. Either he makes a separate trip for each house, or he is never seen until near the end of his journey, when most of his gifts are gone. Apparently he walks.

His stocking-cap is the only stocking In the French Christmas. When he gets down the chimney he finds, not stockings to fill, bui pairs of wooden shoes waiting on the hearthstone. In the cities, where "sabots" are not worn, a big industry exists for providing fake wooden shoes, usually lined with rabbit fur, and frequently exuding a few straws to recall the fact that in remote country districts peasants thus pad their sabots for comfort. Gifts at New Year's That is not all. Small ldr: i in homes in which there is a good deal of religion believe that not "Pere Noel" but "Le petit Jesu" (Little Jesus) brings the gifts.

And to complicate matters further, much of the exchange of gifts is not made on Christmas anyway but is put over to New Year's. The reveillon supper is not necessarily de luxe, depsite the fact that some form of sparkling whiti wine is de rlgeur.

There Is no prescribed menu for Instead of stockings, French families place "sabots" or wooden shoes before the fireplace to be filled.

the feast. With the very poor it is more or less traditional to make grilled "boudin" (blood sausage) the principal dish, and in the higher-priced restaurants the place of "boudin" may be taken by lobster or game. But whatever the food there must be plenty of it, and plenty of bubbles. The rest Is noise. Bray the Speaker At Clinic Opening Lt.

23 fP) To the palatial Trumbull home came three generations of Coolidges today, for a family reunion around Christmas tree. Mrs. Orace Coolidge. widow of the President, came to Plainville from her home In Northampton, bearing gifts for the youngest of the Coolidges, Cynthia, her first and only grandchild. The baby, who will be 2 months old next Thursday, arrived here in the afternoon with her parents, John and Florence Trumbull Coolidse, of the 7.4 percent.

Astrological Influences, therefore, could not account for more than a 7 percent determining factor. Other influences, biological, physiological, environmental, hereditary, are entitled to con sideration first and when these have been apportioned, probably not more than one-tenth of one percent will remain to claimed by astrology. Other Professions Among the 88.2 percent of the births are equally distributed among the months of the year: law, 85.4 percent; medicine, 67.5 percent; educators. 83.4 percent; legislators, 75.2 percent; engineers 81.6 percent; writers, 80.5 percent; scientists, biological, 83.6 percent; physical, 74.4 percent; business men 61.6 percent. If astrological Influences were the dominating factors, more than 75 percent of the births of the leaders in any field should be concentrated In one "house" or month and the balance in the months having the modifying influences.

In the studies made so far. It Is rarely found that as many as 12 percent are concentrated in one month. This is only 4 percent more than normal, or less than one-twentieth of what the astroloical effect should be. if astrological influences were actually at work. Unscientific It is totally unscientific to look to influences in the skies to explain personality characteristics when causes that are purely biological are well known and understood by scientists.
