reduce the quantity, others will have
to reduce the face value and create a

The action of the Italian Govern
ment in ignoring all but gold values
in its customs dealings is the begin
ming OF fresh chapter In monetary
history. The money reform which is
bound to come in Europe will rank
in Importance with the recoinages
Of earlier centuries which caused
deviations from the original and

the volume amounted TO only per

The increase in the volume OF
our foreign trade despite the de-
crease in its value in the face Of Sc
we're financial depression proves that
with the adjustment Of our produc-
tion. costs and selling prices TO con-
form with the competitive law of
supply and the consumption law OF
demand we shall experience only
minor difficulties fn finding markets
tor our exports. There are of course
many problems to be worked out to
accomplish this adjustment OF pro-
duction costs and selling prices, but
none of the problems is impossible
of solution. They will be solved, we
believe, and the volume OF our trade
will go on growing to larger proper

America in Peru.

Elsewhere on this page THE NEW
YORK Herald prints an important
and interesting account. from the
pen Of the distinguished statistician
FREDERIcK J.. HoFFMAN. of the popu-
larity and usefulness America has
achieved in Peru, and an earnest
plea from that experienced observer
for intelligent preservation by every
honorable means OF the good will
the citizens of that great country
now feel for us and our ways.
AS Mr.. HOFFMAN says, too often
Americans have neglected the oppor-
tunities genuine friendship and
frank admiration have created for
them in foreign countries and have
allowed doors already open for them
to be used by more enterprising
persons of other nationalities. or else
to admit misrepresentation adven-
turers who. wearing the name Amer
lean, have brought discredit on a
country for which they were not fit
to speak
Let this not be the case with Peru.
The basis for enduring friendship
and understanding is being laid
there. Americans should earnestly
strive to raise on this foundation
suitable superstructure.

The Indivisible Fourth.
Disregard Of the Constitution Seen
In Acts OF Congress-.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: With
reference to your editorial article "The
Indivlsible Fourth" beg to say that I,
is surprising to me that the Federal
legislators should consider or debate the
question of search and seizure OF per-
son or property or domicile OF the citi-
zen without warrant.
The legislators Of course are charged
with a knowledge OF constitutional pro-
visions and the prohibition against
search and seizure except In the man
ner provided for by the organic law.
For number OF years / have noted
the tendency OF Federal legislators to
pass acts strictly unconstitutional be-
cause in the teeth OF the Fourth and
Fifth Amendments of the Federal Con-
stitutlon, and particularly in United
States customs matters, as well as plac-
ing the burden OF proof upon the citi-
zen defendant, in effect establishing a
principle that the accused is guilty until
innocence is established.
l have prophesied that national pro-
hibition would result in an utter dis
regard of constitutional guarantees, and
1t is quite evident that this has come
to pass. National prohibition in my
judgment has broken down our consti-
tutional government, and it is high time
that everything should be done to pre-
vent assaults upon the Constitution.
Looking back to and upon the past
it seems to me that the tendency of
legislators has been TO pass acts and
take a chance as to whether they are
or not, and also looking
back to and upon the past. seeing what
has been done in violation of protection
Of the search and seizure provisions and
what has been done to place the burden
upon the citizen defendant, / conclude
that the present Congress is legisla-
tive legatee of erroneous and unconsti-
tutional devise.
I am glad to see that this question
is being thrashed out. have always
thought that 1t was bound to come and
this controversy will clear the air and
bring to life again the splendid safe
guards to liberty contained in the Fourth
and Fifth Amendments to the Consti-
tuition, as wisely and humanely pro-
vided for by our forefathers.

Women and Swimming.

A dozen years ago girl who could
swim well was looked upon as un-
usual, or at least more physically
proficient than nine out of ten of her
sex. Now, when young woman is
seen to enter the water, the specula-
tion of the onlooker is not whether
she is a good swimmer but whether
she is a better swimmer than her
brother.
In no branch OF competitive sport
has woman advanced more in the
last decade than in swimming. Ten
years ago the gentle users OF the
overland stroke had but small
place in the printed records OF water
racing. English women held most of
the records up to half a mile, the only
American girl swimmer of distinc-
tion being Miss ELAINE GoLDING.
But now in every almanac, every
history of a years sport contests,
the women swimmers take up almost
as much space as the men. And in
the picture parts Of the newspapers
they have left mere man at the start
ing place. What chance has man
swimmer to get his likeness printed
when there are thousand mermaids
for the camera to choose from?
Girls, from 4 up to so, dive and
race with vigor that seems likely
in time to drive men out of the swim.
They compete in Honolulu and High
lands, in the Panama Canal or of
Bailey's Beach, in the cold Superior
or the warm Caribbean. They know
all the kickoffs and crawls of the
expert. Some grow thin at the sport,
some fat; and more are made beauti-
ful than homely by it. The pictures
show few Venuses and many who
hope to achieve perfection. Some
get their pictures in the films
through sheer beauty; others by
breaking records.
There is always a reason for sud
den popularity in sport or pastime.
Often it Is hard to find. But in the
case of women and swimming it is
easy to trace the lure back to the
wondrous grace and speed Of Miss
KELLEEMANN. Many Of the young
ladies OF to-day have outdone
ANNETTE in speed, but her grace re-

1t is true that the COW does 1T feed
her calf oleomarsarine. She docs not
feed her calf butter or chicken OF tur-

that oleomargarine Is a clean, whole
some food product made OF a mixture
OF the fats and oils and milk or skim
milk. all Of which. with the exception
of cocoanut oil, arc produced on Ameri-

OF New York you may say. more than
OF any city. plus ca change. plus c'est
la meme chose"
Every time come to New York
and my fellow passengers, American
as well as British, exclaim. How it
has changed. y
The big build ings are always there,
In their proper places, and the new
ones. especially uptown, do not at first
obtrude themselves Oh your notice,
but at each new visit you instinctively
feel something has altered, that you
either miss a familiar sight or an old
feature, or that the aspect of street
or district has undergone some subtle
change.
This time the new change for me is
in the noise-the voice of the city.
Eight years ago, before the war, New
York seemed to talk in sharp yells over
an accompaniment of minor thunder.
and it took me few days to tune up
my ears to the proper pitch for con-
versation on the narrower streets.
Then came a different voice during
the war. and after the armistice voice
not unlike the deep, muffled roar OF
London.
Now that has again changed TO a
kind OF tenor rumble, with explosions
and high register screams from facto2ies
and architectural undertakings. And /
have noticed dhat every morning at
about 80 o'clock the whistles of the
river craft and ferryboats blend into a
sound almost exactly like an organ. In
deed, so close is the resemblance that
took it al first to be some terrific organ
recital or practice in St Thomas's
Church, which stands near my hotel.
What a delightful place Fifth avenue
Is There at all events you can truly
say, "Plus c'est la meme chose"
Fifth avenue is one OF the great streets
of the world. Running north and south
through a city which has never ceased
to grow for century-and that in two
directions only. upward and straight
along-with all the artistic and architec-
tural disadvar tages of parallelism, Fifth
avenue, I believe. is a worthy fellow
to Piccadilly, to the Rue dc la Paix and
the Prado of Madrid.
Many other beautiful thoroughfares
abound. such the Avenue des Chamrs
Elysees and Michigan avenue, Chicago,
but these are more true avenues than
streets. Fifth avenue is one of the most
beautiful. most striking, most alive
streets in the world. 1t has a soul.
ana tnat soul Is obviously Wotlan ,.
Fifth avenue is essentially a woman's
street-not only street in which she
has as superb and expensive parade of
shops as in Bond street, or the Rue de In
Paix or Gale San Jeronimo and the
Grand Via--of London. Paris and Ma
drid--but a quite perfect street in which
she herself looks, whether she says she
likes it or not, her very best.
In this respect / put Fifth avenue

MONDAY. AUGUST 20. 1921.
Mr.. Murphy as a Humorist.

Mr.. MURPHY Of Tammany Hall too
seldom INDUCES in public display of
his wit. He reserves for his inti-
mates the scintillations of his alert
mentality. Because of this any ex-
hibition of his waggishness COM
mands instant popular attention.
One of his most successful adven-
lures into righteousness is the pres
ent Tammany invitation to electors
of New York city to submit sugges-
tions for platform for Tammany
Halls candidates to stand on in the
municipal campaign. This exceeds
any whimsey IRWIN COBB has re-
Gently put to his credit. 1t ranks
with the best sayings Of the lamented
LARRY JEROME. The sprightliest of
colyumists has conceived nothing
more delicate in rib tickling quality.
From the gloom of his regretted re-
tirement SIMEON FORD must regard
the Master of Good Ground with
envy. That other Murphy-PATErcK
FRANcIs-indubitab rejoices in the
continued glory of the name. The
budding generation of Depews and
Hedgeses may well feel confounded
ct this demonstration of what their
elders are capable Of doing.
1t is pity that jocosity like
this should be wasted. Yet even it,
brilliant though it is, will arouse no
answering quirks from the multi
tude, which knows that Tammany's
platform is already written; that it
was in fact written years ago, by
man less gifted than Mr.. MURPHY in
comicalities, though not less well un-
derstood. by one Of his predecessors,
no less a parsonage than RIcHARD
CROKER, who in person as the arch
type Of Tammany testified under
oath that he was working for his
own pocket all the time"
In those words Of unquestioned
frankness the enduring platform of
Tammany Hall was forever set forth,
and no ieu d'esprit, even though it
fall from the lips Of SO engaging
jester as CHARLES 4. MURPHY, can
ever change it.
