Umpire Tom Connolly has two
allbls. one is that managers
and players, not umplres, are to
blame for games being long
drawn out, which probably Is
correct. His other alibi Is that
umplres find 1t hard to follow
the ball when overflow crowds
are on the field and thus can't
do good work calling balls and
strikes-wlth which players at
least may agree when they fail
to hit the ball.

Umbrella Manufacturers Back Up
n wisconsin Proposition.

TO THE NEW York HERALD: The
Umbrella Manufacturers Association of
America has sent the following letter to
Edward G. Pomerening president OF the
Wisconsin Society OF Equity:
DEAR Sin: We see by the papers that
your society, representing $500 wiscon-
sin farmers, has offered to pay c. NJ.
Hatfield OF California $4,000 an inch for
rain in Wisconsin.
'The members OF the Umbrella Nfanti-
facturers Association OF America have
become so enthusiastic over this plan
that they would like to cooperate with
similar rain making plants established
IN every State In the Union under tho
following restrictions:
THAT the rain must be produced be-
fore the opening of National Umbrella
Week. october 24-2e, and that Mr.. Hat
field wit, guarantee that he viii not pro-
duce more rain than will be good for the
crops and the general comfort OF human
ity at this time OF year, and in addition
that the rain to be paid for must fall
within the daylight hours, since IL has
been our experience that rain at night

clothing has brought a response from
manufacturers and their summer
wear is as light as women's hot
weather gowns.
In outdoor life in the city even
greater changes in respect to urban
summer comforts may be observed.
Camp chairs for sidewalk and park
use now appear 10 be an essential ad-
junct to many fiat dwellers' homes.
1t is not an uncommon thing to see a
man sitting in Riverside Park In a
folding camp armchair he has carried
from home for his greater comfort.
A few years ago such spectacle
would have astonished the natives
but now it goes unremarked except
for a feeling Of admiration at the
mans common sense. There are city
folk who, as they lie upon the park
grass, carry this idea of summer COM
fort to the point of arranging punches
Of lighted pastilles at their heads to
keep mosquitoes away, the tiny glow
ing dots making brilliant crimson
notes in the darkness.
A philosophical frame OF mind has
much to do with keeping cool in
summer. Present day New Workers
cultivate that spirit.

Merits of a Sales Tax.
Ii Would Be Easy to Collect and
EVERYBODY World Paw.

To THE NEW York HERALD: In the
editorial article headed "You Pay the
Taxes" you state tile facts. A tax on
sales is the best because everybody buys
something and those who buy the most
pay the most taxes, and this is as 1t
should be.
The simplicity of collecting and check
ing up the sales tax must appeal to all
thoughtful persons. The cost OF collec-
ton to the Government Is practically
nothing as against sioo.0oC.ooo for coll
iecting the present existing taxes.
II Is estimated by statisticians who
have kept account of the sales in the
United States in the pre-war period
that a per cent. tax on sales would
Yield something like $4,000 900. 600. This
with the addition OF moderate income
tax would pay the Governments ex-
penses, provided the Government Is eco
nomically managed. and these are all
tho taxes that are necessary.
Temporarily to pay the soldiers bonus
a Ia per cent. tax on sales would prob
ably be sufficient
The advantage OF a sales tax Is that
1t would be continuous and IL the money
were not needed It could be decreased
gradually by quarter or a half Of /
per cent. so as to make the tax less
and moro equitable. III. w. HOOPS.

Germany's Credit Is Good.

Germany is back again In the
worlds money market. But it is
not the old Germany behind the
money counter dispensing funds to
needy borrowers. 1t is the new
Germany outside the cashiers cage
looking in. She has a significant
and productive look. In England she
glanced through the grilled door OF
the money room and a credit of
f3,000,000 was forthcoming from one
Of the most conservative bankers in
the United Kingdom; in this coun-
try recognition in the counting room
and credit for S15,000,000.
The war is over. Business is busi-
ness. Germany's credit is good. She
has shown the world that however
the war may have changed things
politically it has not altered the fact
that credit is based on wealth and
wealth on production. Germany
knows how to produce.
But IL the world were not sure Of
Germany's intentions-and despite
all the evidence of the last year and a
half the world can, if 1t pleases, still
doubt that Germany's will to work is
as inherent as ever-her credit still
would be good. 1t would have to be
good. Germany is the worlds great
est debtor. Before long she will be
the worlds greatest borrower. She
will have to be the worlds greatest
borrower to get that huge productive
machine of hers going to liquidate
her reparations debt.
| Looked at in a detached way the
f3,000,000 English credit and our $15,-
100000 credit to Germany, together
with several loans she has had from
Holland and from South America,
climb to a tidy sum. Yet they are as
a molehill to a mountain when COM
pared with the s33, 900, 100000 of rep
arations she has to get down to work
to pay off.
Germany's credit is good because
same reason that every solvent debt
or's credit is good because of his
debts. Credit primes the machinery
OF commerce and pulls the debtor out
of the hole.
Payment of the reparations debt
Is not matter of German, English,
American and French concern. 1t is
matter of world concern, because
until II is on its way to liquidation
the world cannot be restored to its
proper economic balance.
The English and American loans
are not the measure which determines
Germanys credit rating. Her credit,
not only here and in England but in
all countries, must be good in pro-
portion to the size of her debt and in
proportion to her needs for food and
materials which will enable her to
get to work and pay that debt.

Efficiency.

From Madison, Wisconsin, comes
the news that pigeons have become a
nuisance in Capitol Park and the
Superintendent of Public Property
has decided they must be done away
with in pursuance of the dictates of
economy. Consequently:
Expert rifemen posted in the
Capitol Building already have brought
down a large number"
Nothing could better typify govern
rent inefficiency than the employ.
ment OF riflemen in a public park to
shoot pigeons that have become prac-
tically domesticated. A private land
owner seeking to eliminate the birds
would use traps; this would be the
sensible and expeditions way to do
the job. But the public authorities
are bound by no considerations OF
popular safety and time is nothing
to them. A box trap costing dollar
or so and a handful of grain for bait
would be worth a dozen expert rifle
men in getting rid Of pigeons, and no
children would be wounded by it.
Meanwhile the hospitals in Madi-
son should prepare for busy season.
Even small calibre, low power rifle
bullet can infiict nasty wound.

not so very far above where prices
ought to be. That Is dehation. 1t is
why the public can buy again and is
buying again 1t is why business is
beginning to pick up all along the
line.
1t is production and business, not
in dollar marks representing 80 to
so cents on the dollar but in COM
modities like grain, steel. coal, pro.
visions, clothing, necessaries and
luxuries alike-it is these which
make employment, surplus wealth,
prosperity.
Clipped coins can make an Austria
or a Czecho-Slovakia out of the
United States. Only economic read
justment can make 1t again sound
and busy.
This country, after being war sub
merged as low as the depths OF the
war sunk Lusitania, is just now get
ting its head above water. Any such
scheme as the suggested bonus scrip,
any great imitation measure for what
ever purpose, would sink the country
again, this time perhaps to stay long
on the bottom.

Urban Summer Comforts.

New Workers who watch as they
walk nowadays must be impressed
with the fact that their fellow stay
at home townsmen take more trouble
10 be comfortable in the summer time
than they used to. Men, and women
too, are less bound by conventions
as to dress and habits, such conven-
tions as prescribe heavy clothing,
stiff shirts. long skirts and thick
waists, and keeping indoors when
compelled to stay in town. The adj
vantages obtained by standing on the
platforms OF elevated trains are quite
an much appreciated nowadays by
women as by men. A girl walking
along the street or riding In car or

British Gold and Notes.
Figures Bearing on the Discussion
as to Specie Payments.

TO THE NEW York HERALD In re-
gard to the discussion concerning the
gold situation in Great Britain / think
the facts should be stated somewhat
differently.
A country is said to have suspended
specie payments if the central bank
does not redeem its paper in gold 1t
is a somewhat different matter IL
holder of notes. having exchanged them
for gold, finds himself debarred from
exporting the coins themselves Thus,
neither France nor Germany was said
to have suspended specie payments be-
fore the war, although they placed OBJ
stacles in the way of gold exports.
Nor do / think 1t Is fair to say that
Great Britain has actually suspended
specie payments" as long as she does
not herself pay a premium for bar gold
above II shillings 8 pence an ounce
standard. This she has steadily refused
to do. She could have secured all the
open market gold herself by paying a
premium over the sovereign price. In
stead she has allowed its export.
The fact Is that few financial writers
have taken stock OF how far Off Great
Britain Is from suspension. On the
contrary. she is steadily improving the
position Of the. Bradburys. Two state
ments are issued In England. one that
OF the central bank. the other that con-
cerning the Bradbury issues. Here Is
the Bank OF England statement for June
