New York That Is to Be.
Buildings Will Be Numbered Better
and Sidewalks UnObStrucied.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Within
the last year New York city has shown
decided trend toward cafeterias The
novelty Of self-service in restaurants has
passed. More than fifty cafeterias, so
called but not all true to name, have
appeared in conspicuous ,trafficking dis
tricts on Manhattan Island, and the ten
dency toward cafetcrias is steadily in
creasing Already in number the cafe
terias perhaps equal the Chinese chop
suey restaurants and probably exceed
them in seating capacity.
And now New York is to have disk
automatic telephones and is to be able
to telephone without the intervention Of
a. young woman operator at the central
switchboard. sav, s4a,o. DH
Anybody who has observed some OF
these trends OF the times In the United

And some day New York will be re-
numbered as TO its buildings on all its
streets, so that each block shall have
only 100 numbers. with the odd num-
bers on the left side OF the street and
the even numbers on the right, proceed
ing out from the recognized initial block

intimate personal concern to every
user of anthracite coal, especially to
those in New York and in New Eng
land, where heavy freight tolls go to
raise the cost of coal to sufficiently
portentous figures without the inn
position of any further burdens that
may be avoided.
Governor Cox has been advised by
official statisticians that the Penn

million and a half to two millions of
dollars annually.

The Sugar We Eat, the Clothes
We Wear.

After one year and one month of
variegated discussion and compli
Gated pulling of wires and rolling of
logs the Senate is about ready to
pass and send to conference the Ford
ney-McCumber tariff bill. The final
vote is assigned by unanimous con-
sent to Saturday next. The debates
and other proceedings meanwhile
during the present week are not
likely to affect greatly the general
complexion of measure whereof the
specially offensive features have been
publicly exhibited by THE New YORK
HERALD and other newspapers. to the
amazement and indignation Of good
citizenship without regard to party.
Senator CALDER explained day be-
fore yesterday that the consideration
impelling him to defend and support
the price boosting Fordney-McCum
Der tariff bill was that New York S
interests as a port. great as they are,
are minor compared with its in
terests as a factory. If there must
be choice" he continued, between
~sbring, fostering and benefiting
~ York as a factory or New, York
a port the less must yield to the
.reater, for New York is the greatest
manufacturing city in the world"
Further on in his able speech the.
Senator referred to "the unanimous
demand of the American people for 4
protective tariff"
With due respect to the require
n1ents of loyalty to organized par
tisanship in legislative proceedings,
THE New YORK HERALD must submit
the idea that any definition of tariff
protection is defective, and even spe-
cious, which ignores the plain dis
tinction between a justly protective
tariff and an outrageously profiteer-
ing tariff. 1t is the latter sort of
tariff which is proposed for infiiction
on hundred and ten million people
by the votes of statesmen in certain
proven cases personally and pecuni-
arily interested in the inordinate
boosting OF taxation.
The exact balance between the de-
mands of New York as great port
and New York as a great manufac-
turing city need not be ciphered
out by any Senator as long as the
Immediate issue is concerned with
neither. Ii is the clothes we wear,
the sugar we eat that are now mainly
demanding protection against exploit
tation in the form of excessive rates
by the votes of chosen trustees of the
public interest who do not hesitate to
admit direct personal interest in
the unprecedented dig into the pock-
cts of their clothes wearing and
sugar eating fellow citizens.

Cold Drinks on Hot Days.

In the differentiation of diseases and

There Is a general belief that 1t is
highly dangerous to drink cold water in
warm weather when we are very warm,
and in a much recommended book on
dietetics of the present century the
warning against this practice is down
in black and white.
II we trace this teaching TO its origin
we find that the fatalities that occurred

The Anthracite Coal Tax.

Saratoga's Thoroughbred Sales.

It is evident there is nothing wrong
with the blood stock market when
an American bred yearling brings
$4,000 at public auction, as hap
pened at Saratoga Springs last
Thursday evening, when the chestnut
colt by Trap Rock out OF Federal
Girl by Ultimus was sold to J. S.
CosDEN of Baltimore.
This price is the high water mark
of the season and gives an optimistic
aspect to a situation which breeders
regarded as gloomy because of the
low figures which some of the con-
signments brought. That the public
is buying with greater discrimina-
tion than il had shown for some
years is obvious, and il is good
thing for the industry that this Is so,
as IL will make for improvement in
type. Breeders whose studs need re-
plenishing will follow the example of
more progressive owners and the en-
tire horse breeding industry will reap
the benefit.
The good prices brought by year
iings from Virginia are encouraging
TO breeders in State where horses
Of quality have been bred ever since
the carly days Of the colonists. The
consignment Of Captain p. NJ.
WALKER, whose Pagebrook Stud is in
the Shenandoah Valley, brought more
than 100000 and included the s19,-
600 colt by Trap Rock, the brother to
Tracery, sold a few years ago for
1886, 900.

know the value Of racing in deter

sport has for the public are not afraid
OF the outcome. They believe that the
offerings will be bought at prices
which viii yield profit and that the
wider distribution of the horses will
be of general benefit.

Business Is on the Up Grade.

Postal receipts all over the country
indicate that business continues on
the up grade. The monthly reports
of the Post Office Department on the
amount of post Office business in the
fifty leading cities of the country
have shown steady climb since last
November. Last month, for the first
time, the Department compiled list
of the postal receipts in fifty selected
industrial cities considered as rep
resentatiye centers in their respec-
tive sections of the country. These
figures also support the belief that
business is mending.
Last month the fifty leading cities
in the country did post Office bust
ness amounting to $19.543,152, which
was an increase OF $2,034 410 over
July, 1921. The fifty selected cities
did a business amounting to $2,164,-
AL, an increase of $204 ,S94 over the
previous year. The gain, figured by
percentage, was almost as great in
the smaller cities, for the leading
fifty's gain was 1852 per cent. and
that OF the selected group was 10.45
per cent.
OF the fifty larger cities only two.
Rochester and Washington, reported
decreases for July. In the smaller
group nine showed decreases. These
were Norfolk, Virginia; Springfield,
Illinois; Wilmington, Delaware;
Schenectady, New York; Lynn, Mas
sachusetts; Columbia, South Car
olina; Manchester. New Hampshire;
Cumberland, Maryland; and Chey-
enne, Wyoming.
Fort Worth, Texas, reported gain
of $500 per cent. Other large cities
which made big gains were Akron,
Los Angeles, Cleveland, Springfield,
Massachusetts, and Columbus, Ohio,
all of which reported increases Of
more than 90 per cent. Albuquerque,
New Mexico, showed the biggest gain
of any city in the smaller group,
with an increase of 40.59 per cent.
Postal receipts are pretty nearly an
infallible index to the temper OF
business conditions. These figures
indicate restored confidence and
steadily strengthening activity.

Institute Revises War Opinions
Kerrs AbsoIution Of Kaiser and Cravaths Indemnit,
Plea Prove Effective

Special Dispatch 10 The NEw YORK HERALD
WILLIAMS srowN, Mass, Aug. 13.EThe
halfway point in the second annual ses-
found the membership dispersed on auto
mobile trips or hikes. with groups here
and there discussing shop" In sucr
groups two ideas suggested by lecturers
during the last twenty-four hours were
disputed.
Philip Kerr. former secretary TO Lloyd
George, knows how to start discussion.
Most who disagree with his statement
that war is caused by the division of
mankind into states who do not love
their neighbors and are merely indif-
ferent to them are inclined to await his
next lecture, when they expect he will
have something to say about the eco
nomic causes. But fsom sources close to
Mr. Kerr one can learn he will probably
not discuss such causes.
His declaration that the Kaiser did
not press the button to start the war
has its largest Significance because OF
his former relationship 10 the British
Premier. who won the 1918 election on
the slogan Hang the Kaiser and make
the Germans pay"
Intermnrriage OF Races.
The other thought that has loft its
ripple is that of DR.. Manoel de O'ivera
Lima about the success Of the mis-
cegenation OF races in Brazil and his
subtle reminder to his American audi
ence here that because OF it Brazi! has
no race problem, as we have IL the
United States. One competent observer
OF the race problems thought that Dr.
Lima was not so far wrong. especially
In his statement that there are no pure
races This individual held that inter-
marriage il as important whilo~ not
perhaps with races of different color.
but with different degrees OF physical
strength, as it Is in the proper breeding
of cattle.
But the full significance Of any OF
these talks which one hears is not so
much in the specific thing said or dis
cussed as it is in illustration Of how
an idea takes root in a gathering like
this People are rapidly revising their
opinions. for instance about the war.
Mr.. Crayath's dictum that we--could
not afford to let Germany pay the full
bill and that It should be reduced two
thirds is not far from the idea many
hold who have studied the problem.
Even the French view as put forward
by NJ. Raymond Recouly. French jour
nalist and lecturer of the institute.
shows considerable moderation. The
simple part to be gathered is not that
perhaps Germany in equity and right
should not pay the reparations which
