Correcting Mr.. Hopper.
1t Is Alleged His Real Estate Index
Is Also Being Corrected.

To THE Nvw YORK HERALD: AS an
employee of the New York County
Registers Office / should like to say
that John ]. Hopper is mistaken when
he supposes that the locality index was
completed when he went out of Office.
The locality index is not now COM
plete and will not be complete for many
years. 1t will take a long time to cor
rect the many thousands of errors which
appear In the index because Mr.. Hopper
rushed the men engaged in the work
so that he could create a false record OF
work accomplished II the index was
complete when his term expired and
as he says. "all of the men working
on the locality and grantee indexes
were temporary appointments and
should have been dropped or trans
ferred when the indexes were finished"
why did he apply for an appropriation
for their salaries for the year follow
ing that In which his term expired?
The only answer TO that question which
occurs TO me Is that Mr.. Hopper was
A candidate for reelection and expected
20 continue the work during the next
administration II he were reelected.

State Morality Better, Says Bryce.
Tells Institute of Politics There Is Need for Countries
to Raise Ideals.

ment OF the people is more likely 10 be
right than that OF the ministers or
officials who are conducting the negoti-
ations.
Every individual citizen of State
is in his daily life responsible not only
to the opinion of his fellow citizens but
to the law. When the selfish man Is
mean and heartless others avoid him.
But when the rulers OF a State do wrong
on behalf of the State. unless their act
turns out TO have been blunder. Its
perpetrator may even be praised by his
own countrymen for his disregard or
those petty scruples which are called
the bugbear OF petty minds.
The advance in State morality has
been slow and irregular. disappointing
when we compare 1t with the hopes en-
tertained by enthusiastic apostles OF
freedom. justice and fraternity at some
great moments in history. Yet when
we compare our own century with the
fifteenth century real advance can be
discerned. Apparent not only by the
acts which States refrain to-day from
doing. but by the condemnation which
acts now receive which in the fifteenth
century have excited little surprise. We
can reasonably hope that in time States
may be brought up to the standard of
Greek philosophers like Plato or Epicte-
tus. and from that level may after a
few more centuries be lifted still further
toward the Christian ideal Of fraternal
good will"

own: 1t merely is superficial mass
of water dragged along by the wind;
and when the wind ceases the drift
of water soon comes to rest.
According to Director JoNEs's re-
port, this is exactly what happened
along the California coast. A wind
blowing parallel to the coast swept
drift along in the same direction.
But such a drift could not continue
without the formation OF counter
drifts. and these also occurred-pos-
sibly leading to the wreck August 6
OF the steamship Alaska, which
seemed to have been carried out of
her course by an unknown force.
Every few years. when southerly
winds have prevailed along the At
lantic coast for several weeks, there
come reports that "the course OF the
Gulf Stream has changed" Never
theless, slight swerving in season
excepted, the Gulf Stream does not
go out of its normal course, one hun
dred miles or more from the coast.
Southerly winds, long continued, drag
superficial drift of water from the
course of the stream and throw it
against the coast. When this hap
pens there follows spell Of swell
tering weather in New ork city and
along the Jersey coast. But the
Gulf Stream flows on in the usual
couAe and position, except that for
the time being it is carrying cold
instead of warm water.
Newly formed drifts are common
enough, and they come with every
long continued unidirectional wind;
newly formed currents, however. are
not common, and it is doubtful il
such a thing has occurred in the
history Of commerce. With airplanes
and dirigibles at command there is
no reason why dangerous wind drifts
should not be forecast in the same
manner as storms and unusual winds
are forecast.

Women Swim in Comfort.
Unhampered in Twenty States by
Atlantic City's Regulation.

To THE New York HERALD: | agree
with the writer of the letter calling for
equality Of the sexes IN the matter Of
bathing suits.
We have just motored across the con-
tinent AT Chicago my niece and / got
ready and walked across and along
Sheridan road, busy commercial thor
oughfare. four blocks to the beach,
We passed numerous women similarly
dressed, wearing a mans bathing suit
without stockings. Nobody paid any
more attention to them than If they had
worn full length skirts.
At Atlantic City my niece had an ex-
perience. One stocking got caught on
some wreckage or something when she
was wading in deep water. She
screamed. The crowd ran. Two rescu-
ers almost came to blows about the way
to get her free. Another in attempting
to loosen safety pins, alternately dived
and came up for breath, but each time
knocked her off her feet.
When she related her experience In
the bathhouse a ringleader said that II
ten Of them would take off their stock
ings and follow her to the beach she
would attend to any one who molested
them. They were not molcsted.
One man, they thought. showed undue
curiosity The ringieader, THE Anna
zon." sturdy matron. and DIANA" an
athletic girl of twenty-odd. sat them
selves on the sand near him. He looked
at them. Presently he left, apparently
satisfied. evidently a wiser and 1t is to
be hoped a better man.
We went swimming In twenty places
in as many States We saw women OF
all ages and forms going about with
out anything on from their knees to
their ankles fully as unconcerned and
as unobserved as il clad in bloomers or
skirts. We have seen thousands of bath
ers and not dozen pairs of stockings.
You have heard that "the Queen of
Spain has no legs" Our Southern cook
added, There amt many American
women who has that depravity"

American Farm Values.

In 1910 the Census found the value
to be $S4,S01, ,125,697. In 1920 the
Census valuation was $66,334, ,309,-
556. The figures had been nearly
doubled in ten years. The average
value of farm had risen in a de-
cade from SEAT to $10,2S7. But, OF
course, the dollar was worth less in
January, 1920, than it was in 1910
or is in 1921.
That group Of grain growing States
which is known as the West North
Central and which includes Mime
sofa, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kan
sas and the Dakotas reported an
increased value in farms of thirteen
billion dollars. Yet there We're
those who doubted whether $2.26
wheat would be profitable. Iowa
alone is credited with rise of more
than four billions in the value of her
farms.
The figures are amazing until more
astounding amounts are recalled
Take, for example, the total 1920
valuations of the farms of New Eng
land, New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, the Solid South and the
Mountain and Pacific States. Sell
them all, land and buildings, at the
Census estimates and you would
have just about enough money to
pay the American war bill.

Alas for the Dance!
Modern Confederation Of General
Phil Sheridan's Opinion.

To THE New YORK HERALD OF all
the arts so far the grand opera is the
only one that has not been affected for
the worse. None OF Its elements shows
any symptom Of a taint. Even the loss
of it's grievously mourned and most fa-
nous member will not seriously Grip
pie it.
The other arts, however, show severe
degeneracy all through their ranks.
Music with the quick step of ragtime has
arrived at jazz. Painting is exploited
BY the cubist and literature proudly pro-
duces vers libre, but the worst Of the
whole OF them probably is the dance
in its multiple sacrilege. This. too, is
the oldest of the arts. reaching back
through the leaves of the Bible and be-
yond. TO the very birth of the human
race. When 1t attained it's highest de-
velopment who can say? Every one re-
CARDS II from personal standpoint
More than a generation ago, watching
the dancers on the floor of the ballroom
at Old Point Comfort, General Phil Sher-
idan exclaimed with a chuckle:
'If a fellow came down hero from
Mars wouldn't he take them for a lot
of dressed up monkeys all hopping
about?"
However. OF the many figures in that
room the General himself was the most
arresting. Dressed in full regalia, he
stood but little taller than my shoulder.
Ills small, round. bullet head with its
thick close cut crop of grizzled halr
was set low. almost on his chest. The
wide crimson silk sash accentuated his
colossal glrth, its fringes dragging on
the floor. One wondered IL he had seen
his feet in years, yet in the days of
the civil war he was slender as any
grl. To repeat. one looks at the dance
from a personal standpoint. changing
with the changing years.
II to-day the dance Is degenerate It
with the other arts shall return in time
to their original purity. from which let
us be thankful tho grand opera has
never departed.

Hylan or Murphy?

The discussion among Fusionists
as to whether the principal target in
the campaign should be HYLAN or
MURPHY is academic and somewhat
of waste of time.
The intelligent voters of both
parties in this city want to be rid of
HYLAN. When they get him out and
CURRAN in the Boss of Tammany
Hall will be negligible quantity so
far as the city is concerned.
If the Democrats of New York want
to GUST Mr.. MURPHY from leader
ship which he has held stubbornly
for twenty years they have their own
means of going about it. Putting
HYLAN out and CURRAN in will help
some.
But so far as the Republicans, the
Independents and, indeed, the citi-
zens in general are concerned, JOHN
F. HYLAN is the individual they are
aiming at.
1t is HYLAN who keeps Fourteenth
Street fat and the city treasury lean
by giving jobs to Boss MURpHY's dis
trict leaders and their followers.
1t is HYLAN who signs letters
drafted for him by HETTRIcK.
1t is HYLAN who displays a
wretched ignorance of the finances
of New York.
1t is HYLAN whose lack of dignity
has turned the Board of Estimate
meetings into connections which re-
semble a gathering of vexed hyenas.
The target of the voters is plain.
There is only one arrow that will hit
the mark. That is the Curran-Lock-
wood-Gilroy fusion ticket. It's NOM
ination must be ratified next month
at the Republican primary. The six
hundred thousand men and women
who are enrolled as Republicans are
depended upon to provide the means
of beating HYLAN.
The case is simple. CUERAN's NOM
ination first, HYLAN's defeat second.
That will dispose of MURPHY as well
as he can be disposed Of outside the
machinery of his own party.

Wind Drifts and Ocean Currents.

Reports of newly discovered ocean
currents and alleged changes in the
course of the Gulf Stream come along
each year as regularly as August fol-
lows July. AS rule there Is in them
a shade of truth as to fact and bit
Of error as to the Interpretation of
the fact.
Director Z. LESTER JONES of the
Coast and Geodetic Survey recently
announced the existence Of wind
drifts, probably new and certainly
unusual, along the California coast.
The discovery of these drifts is of
the utmost Importance to navigators
along the Pacific coast, but as the ac-
counts of them have spread tempo
rary wind drifts have been magnifed
into new ocean currents" that are
battling phenomena" because Of in
nocent misconception OF the differ
ence between wind drifts and ocean
currents.
There is a broad distinction be-
tween a drift and an ocean current.
The current has inertia of it's own.
Such an ocean current as the Gulf
Stream, for instance, practically flows
from a higher to lower level with
velocity that is not possessed by a
wind drift. Thus, off the Florida
coast the Gulf Stream has velocity
Of more than five miles an hour in
the summer months. The water COM
posing IL differs in color, In tempera-
ture and in density from the ocean
banks between which IL flows. BY
the time it has reached as far, say,
as the latitude Of Cape Cod the
stream has flowed to a gravity level
and its inertia is lost.
Thereafter It Is not much more
than a wind drift. The skin fric-
ton" between wind and water is the
motive power of drift, and westerly
winds drag the surface water TO
every nook and Granny of the coast
of Europe. incidentally, the wind
drift thus carried does not modify
the climate Of western Europe" nor
does it impart any measurable de.
gree OF warmth. Nevertheless, this
mass OF wind blown warm water has
exerted a mighty influence on the
civilization both of Europe and
America; for inasmuch as it has
kept the harbors Of Europe free from
ice during the long drawn winters Of
high latitudes, 1T has been an instru.
ment for keeping open the worlds

SELF-MADE MEN ARE
UNDER A HANDICAP
FeU of Them Attain Distinc-
tion, Says Expert.

II still is altogether possible for the
self-made man who quit school forever
at the age of IL TO turn up at 80 with
r million dollars or more, but it is more
difficult to achieve distinction than
riches. II. f. Miles of New York, for
merly president of the Wisconsin State
Board of Vocational Training, made pub
lie yesterday survey he has conducted
for the American Society of Mechanica,
Engineers and he shows that out
5000. 900 men of no schooling but thirty
one attain distinction.
Mr.. Miles's report, covering the edu
cational situation In the United States
has II that 80 per cent. or American
people have cause to feel educaionally
neglected. He says that we must aban-
don our ''go to college or so to the
devil" policy, inasmuch as America is
responsible for the fact that she har-
bors 3S.000.000 persons who lack ade-
quate educational opportunities.
With elementary schooling, $4,000, 900
men and women produce but 500 dis
tinguished citizens. Out of 1000, 900
who graduated from the high scnuoIs
no more than 1,245 reached distinction.
But OF 100000 college graduates. 5,76S
attained that prominence. He puts
forth these figures to show "the insis-
tence everywhere expressed that there
is no chance for the American boy un-
less he goes to college"
Nearly half the children in this coun-
try leave school at about H." he says.
1T may be said that half leave tho
school forever without any real educa-
tion. There is, moreover. substantially
nothing of formal education In live
civics' or IN economies taught In the
seventh and eighth grades. We may
say, therefore. that education begins In
this sense at the sixteenth year. after
10 per cent. of the children have left,
and. therefore. that our social structure
with it's great adult population has an
educational foundation in one corner
only.
Elementary schools must be made more
effective with the best possible instruc-
ton In citizenship and economics for
every child before he leaves and after

have recently been established in twen-
ty-five States. but very poorly devcl-

aor the most aggressive of Greek poll
ticians believe that the councils Of
Europe will accede to this demand.
II the Greek success continues to the
point Of an assured and substantial
victory it will bring about a change
in the conditions upon which the
treaty OF Sevres and its proposed re-
vision are based. But this will
not mean that the Greeks will gain
the concessions which they ask. The
goal they set themselves seems as far
away as ever, and the end Of their
struggle to attain 1t is not in sight.

WILLLAMsT sTowN, Mass. Aug. 16.-The
belief that although the advance in State
morality has been slow and irregular a
real advance can be discerned, was ex-
pressed by Viscount James Bryce in a
lecture at the Institute of Politics here
tonight He condemned ''che want OF
conscience that still keeps State morality
lower than the standard applied to in
dividuals."
Can we admit" he asked, that States
are as against one another no better
than wolves. that rapacity and guile
and remorseless force are always TO
stalk like roaring lions through a world
in which the weak viii ever be victims
of the strong?
If one tries to think what should be
the principles of conduct for a State 1t
is easier to name things Vt may not do
than to find positive precepts for its
guidance. Perhaps SO much as this
may be said: The State must never
break its plighted faith. 1t ought not to
deceive by the mouths OF its Ministers
or ENJOYS. 1t ought not to rob ats
netghbors or make unprovoked attacks
upon them. 1t ought not. when 1t has
vanquished them, to take revenge upon
them"
Discussing secret diplomacy Lord
Bryce said:
There is a strong case for changing
a system which has yielded bad results
In the past and a democracy is not
consistently democratic If It. leaves its
fortunes in the hands of a few persons
who pledge it before they have con-
suited it.
Yet there is something to be said on
the other side. 1t must be admitted that
foreign negotiations cannot be conducted
and the executive acts they require
cannot be determined by popular as
sembly or even by deliberative council
too large for familiar discussion, nor, in
deed, by any body whatever constantly
sitting In public. The masses of the
people do not in any European country
know enough of foreign countries to
enable them to form sound opinions In
particular crises.
Nevertheless there arise from time
to time certain broad and comparatively
simple issues on which the people ought
to be consulted before any irrevocable
step is taken and on which the judge
