can rebuild solid trade structure in
place of the house of cards which has
collapsed about our heads. The first
false precept we have to unlearn is
that markets can be taken for
granted; that so long as we produce
the goods they will sell themselves
regardless of cost. regardless Of any
thing. as they did during the war
When we have gone far in un-
learning false trade doctrines, we
must go further and learn at our
own expense how to win back these
markets so 1t will not again be said,
as it was said in recent trade des-
patch from Brazil, to cite only one
instance out Of many:
America has shot her bolt in this
market. No importer has good
word to say for the American ex-
porter. Importers complain bitterly
OF American business methods. Prices
were increased after orders had been
confirmed. assortments Of colors and
designs were ignored. quality of
goods was not in accordance with in
structions. pattern books and consul
lar invoices were generally despatched
after considerable delay or not at
all There is a consensus of opinion
here that America has dealt very
unfairly with the importers. and
wherever goods are obtainable from
other countries America will not
have a chance"
This is straight from the shoulder
talk. We can frame trade plans and
credit schemes to promote exports,
and discuss tariffs to protect our in
creased production, but unless our
costs, our prices, our terms and our
selling methods are reformed to meet
the restored foreign standards we
might as well shut up shop. Where
we are now, at the bottom of the
ladder looking up, is good place
to begin.

The Ticket Of Leave Mans Team.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD, The cor
respondent who refers in your issue Of
June 8 to an American driving FIVE
horses and q mule has given a new
turn to q story long current I'm London.
The version heard came from an Aus
tralian and was offered as an explana-
tion Of the suspension of the ticket Of
leave rTivilege sometimes given to ex-
convicts who had been sent away to
penal servitude.
According to my informant convic.
who had served his sentence entered
business and had become wealthy, and
was allowed to visit England on a ticket
OF leave. While there he purchased Ave
piebald ponies similar TO those used
by royalty on state occasions, and one
jackass. and thus equipped paraded
around Hyde Park. The matter was in
vest'sated by tho authorities. and. ac-
cording to n,y Australian acquaintance,
the ticket of leave privilege was with
drawn and never afterward issued 70

Too Many Long Hits?
A Baseball Enthusiast Regrets the
Home Run Clouts.

To PHE New YORK HERALD: Ardent
baseball fans all over the country are
deploring the heavy batting, and con-
sequently ineffective pitching, now ram
pant in major leagues, minor leagues
and in the bushes. Where the baseball
magnates got the idea that the fans
liked the kind of slugging bees that
take place each day is hard to imagine.
The Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia
Athletics staged swatfest in Philly
few days ago in which eight home runs
were made. 1t is OF little consequence
to make a home run under present con-
ditions. Baseball is losing Its science.
Our own Yankees have got the fever
and when a man gets on base he
anchors there until a mate slams the
ball for the circuit or for three bagger.
The art OF sacrificing. the art of base
stealing and base running have been
blown TO the winds.
1t is disheartening to see the scores
of the National and American League
games for June Z. Those who like to
see s-2. 10--7. 14-5. 7-6, SIS and
similar games are wslcome to them.
A few years ago 4-3 or a 5-4 game
was q free hitting contest
Bring back some of the old time
10 and al games. wherein all the
elements that tend to make good base
ball are involved. Discard the lively
balls The pitchers are working under
enough handicaps with the aboishment
OF the splitter, rosin. sinner, &C.
1t is said there are no good old
days" But you can bet that bs seball
has seen them and they will not re-
turn uptfl the ferocious batting IN
curbed and the game is restored TO
''normalcy." BLrAcHER1TD

Traffic Control.
An Early Suggestion Of the Scheme
Now Working on Fifth Avenue.

To THE New York HERALD: l have
noticed a number of articles OF late In
the daily press, including letter OF
James A. Douglas. published In The
NEW YoRK HERALD Of June 8, on the
traffic signals introduced on Fifth ave-
nue. by Police Commissioner Harrlss.
beg TO submit the following letter which
sent to Commissioner Arthur Woods
May Is. 1917. and the reply OF Deputy
Commissioner Lord:
DrAr SIN: In watching the traffic on
Fifth avenue II has occurred to me
that Il might be q good idea to set the
signals IN one direction for four or five
blocks on each side of the principal
cross thorougffares, such 40 Thfty-
fourth street and Forty-second street,
simultaneously; In fact that v would DO
well to have Thirty-fourth street and
Forty-second street work In unison, IL
such a thing is possible. This. think.
would expedite the movement of the vo-
hlcles somewhat In the rush hours.
The above Is only a suggestion, OF
course, and hope you will look on II ss
such, as IL may not be practicable nor
have any merit. Respectfully yours,
V. T.. scHAuxBuRG.
To this letter the sup1oined answer
dated Police Department May II, 1917.
was sent to me:
DEAR sm Thank you for your letter OF
May rs, which has been referred 70 me
as the Deputy Commissioner In charge
Of trafic, in which you offer sugges-
tion 70 remedy congestion Of trafhc on

sideration. Yours very truly,

Foreign Trade, Past and Future.

Foreign trade OF the United States
is virtually back on pre-war basis
so far as the volume is concerned,
though values are still above the 1914
level. In May our exports were
$3.50, 1000, 900 and our imports $685.
600, 900, q total of $58s. s.000.o 900 for
the month and at the annual rate
Of s6,456, 100000 Total trade for
1916. the year before we entered
the war. was S6,530, 100000 In the
fiscal year 1914. which ended a month
before the war began in Europe. our
trade was 4,27S,0O0. 900.
The 1915 trade, at index number
125 Of prices, was equal to $5,224,-
100000 at 1914 prices. The trade for
May, 1921, at the index number 1876
average, was only $398, 100000. or an
annual rate Of s4,776,0oo,000. Here
we are, then, below the 1915 volume
of trade, which included large guam
tity of war materials. and within
only s49S, ,000, 900 Of the 1914 normal
yearly volume.
1t was from this 1914 normal that
we embarked into our artificial, war
made prosperity. MARKETS in Eu.
rope, Asia, Africa and South Amer.
lea were at our feet. A few stranded
competitors were quickly despatched
Our trade prospered immensely.
True, we had minor difficulties.
Some customers were so unreasonable
as to insist that we ship them what
they wanted and not what we thought
was best for them. But they had
been spoiled by the accommodating
behavior of European merchants be
fore the war. The trouble was soon
eliminated. Our customers were
taught not to grumble il we found II
convenient to raise prices after or
ders had been confirmed; or II we
sent assortments of goods different
in quality, color and design from the
samples submitted.
Foreign buyers got used to this
sort of thing and before long began
to take It as matter OF course. The
alternative was to do without any
goods, and markets already were
bare. American foreign trade seemed
to have settled itself comfortably In
the lar of luxury, with nothing tc
worry about except to watch the
orders coming in.
Trade like that, with nothing but
an artificial foundation. was bound
to prove an illusion. Fate has let u:
down rather easily when we consider
the heights to which we scared: II
1917. total trade of $4,000, 600, 900; II
1918, $500, 100000; in 1919, 10000,
600 900; In 1920, $4,000 900. 900. Nov
In one year we are practically bacl
in volume to where we began In 1914
and with values of less than hal
what they were for exports and i'm
ports only twelve months ago.
What we have learned from thi'
experience will be of no more value
In our future trade than the lesson!
we still have 70 unlearn before W,

How to TellWhether You're Hot.

A publication devoted to the dis.
semination of scientific truths tells
its readers that by wrapping the bulb
of one thermometer in gauze, plung-
ing it alongside an unwrapped ther-
mometer bulb in boiling water until
both of them register 10 degrees,
and then observing the comparative
rapidity with which the mercury in
the two thermometers comes to at
mospheric temperature the merest
novice can tell whether he is uncom-
Portable, and, if he is, approximately
how uncomfortable he is.
Thus the marvels achieved by pa
tient scholars are made available for
the man in the street. Hereafter
there need be no more ignorant con-
lecture about mugginess. no more
speculation about the whereabouts Of
General Humidity. All we need is q
kettle Of boiling water, brace Of
Thermometers, a roll of gauze and a
pair Of sharp eyes to convince our
selves that the air is wet, oppressive,
dogdayish.
Our granddads were not as lucky
as we are. To convince themselves
that they we're uncomfortable they
had nothing except their perspiration
wet faces, their wilted collars, their
strained .empers. II they had any
gauze at hand they used it to wipe
their foreheads, not to drape thor
mometers.
And in spite Of this our granddads
thought sometimes they were happy!
