Four Traffic Lights.

Safety for Pedestrians.

To THE NEW YoRx HSaALp: I believe
when Oswald c. Herring wrote re9arding
the traffic conditions on Fifth avenue
he fully understood what the Hash OF
each light meant. The question l..
When are tho pedestrians to move with
safety7 As 1t u now the lights do not
bring safety to pedestrians. since cars
are allowed to turn from Forty-second
street into Fifth avenue and vice versa.
In order to insure safety TO pedes-
trianS It would be necessary to suhsti-
tuts four lights in place Of three: Yel-
low. for traf1ic north and south: green.
for trafac east and west; red, for sus-
pension Of all trafiic: purple. for pedes-
TRANS to move north. south. east and
west. Pedestrians not to move with ve-
hicle trafic.
At present the red light 10 dashed for
50 short q period that many persons
are not moro than half way across the
street when the next color 10 flashed
making It necessary for them 70 run to
avoid injury. The four light system will.
! believe. make It safe for all. II may
delay trafic . trine but It will at least
give pedestrians ~ much consideration
as vehicle trafsc. w. j. Lors.

An Unnecessary Denial.

Is 1t really important whether Sir
CHARLES HraHAM did or did not say
that Americans are provincial. that
they are delighted to greet q lord
and enraptured to meet a duke" and
so on through a number Of other
things Sir CHARLES, on his return
from a recent visit to this country,
was quoted as saying to a London
interviewer? Does It really matter
whether he said all this and lot
more? He seems to think It does.
At all events, he Ia out In sweeping
denial that he said them either in
London or anywhere else.
But why should he bother to enter
denial? Few persons here ever
knew he had been quoted as saying
them. Not one person In . million
here cares whether he sa1d them or
not. In fact. many hero would think
that he was very amiably restrained
in his comments.
There are other things he might
have said that would have cut to the
quick because they would have been
shamefully true. Suppose. for in
stance. he had said that ono Of our
greatest States had been the scene
Of the cold blooded butchery Of nearly
score OF men and the wounding and
torturing Of many moro solely be-
cause they were exercising their
right as American citizens under
the shield OF American law to work
for living for such wages and ur-
der such conditions as were to them
satisfactory. And suppose he had
related the fact that the oficers Of
the law, with plain evidence before
them that the savagery was in con-
temptation, had not lifted a finger
to prevent it and had not even raised
their voices in protest against It..
And suppose he had added that for
weeks after this slaughter was per-
petrated, and perpetrated under con-
ditiops Of barbaric cruelty, neither
the State nor the, county where the
infamy occurred had made an effort
worthy Of the name to bring those
guilty Of it to justice.
Here, Of verify. are things which
Sir CHARLEs might have said--things
that make decent Americans hang
their heads in shame. What Is charg-
ing US with being silly, title bedazzled
snobs compared with such an accu-
sation as~this? As long as those
guilty Of that Herrin horror remain
unpunished and as long as a great
American State tacitly condones that
outrage then those Of our critics
who say only such things as Sir
CHARLES denies he said are entitled
to our thanks for their kindly mod
GRAFTON toward Us.

peace with her neighbors. This
would seem to be the best possible
policy for Poland to pursue. Whether
or not DR.. NowAK's course will be
acceptable to tho country is to be
determined by the general election

safely said that so far as DR.. NowAK

Albion Fruit Grower Sets New Marh
Ut Horseshoe Pitching.
From, Farm Life.


You may think you are some horse
shoe pitcher. You should consider the
record made by q. Il. snyder at ithaca.
N. r., the other day. In three nifty point
games he threw forty-six ringers and
eight double ringers. These arc the Or
ures furnished 10 US by Director Mann
Of the New York state College Of Agri-
culture at Cornell University ana they
must be accurate. though thsy ssem
amazing.
Mr.. Snyder d = fruit grower at Albion
and he was tho Empire States cham
pion at the national tournament In Flor
ida last winter. He deserves to rank
with Babe Ruth, Chick Evans, Jake
Schaefer. Jr.. and other kings of ath-
ietic endeavor. for horseshoe pitching is
game OF highest skill. The man who
can throw ringers and double ringers
80 feiicitously should have monumsnt
erected In his honor even while ne lives.

that the story Ia wrong. and they are
emphasizing this fact just 1t present
In calling attention to Q section OF
the State Of deep interest from the
historical viewpoint. This is the
land and the seat Of Government OF
the Republican Pawnees. who estab-
lished on the Kansas and Nebraska
prairies long before the Europeans
came to North America q government
upon republican principles.
Generai~ZEBuLoN PIKE found them
In 1906 when he was exploring the
region west Of the Missouri for the
United States Government aud also
discovered that they were flying over
their capital the Spanish nag. He
had some difficulty In convincing
them that Spain no longer controlled
the country. but when hs proved this
to them they lowered the Spanish
colors and ran up the American nag.
This was the first time. II Is said,
that the United States nag was
raised In what is now the State of
Kansas.
The principal river which flowed
through their land was called the
Republican. Upon tho formation OF
the State Kansas named one Of the
counties on the northern border Re-
public. in honor Of this ancient In
dian republic, and gave the same
name to the site Of Its old. capital.
The owner Of this site not long ago
presented It to the State to be made,
into park. 1t Is one Of the most
picturesque spots in northern Kan
sas and is still clearly marked by
earthworks of the former Indian in
habitants. A granite pillar was
erected upon the highest point and
the park was improssively dedicated
with representation Of State and
Federal authorities.
This memorial to the early repub-
lie upon Kansas soi1 would seem to
be pretty good evidence as to- the orr
gin OF the much discussed names Of
the county and town Of Republic and
OF the Republican River.

Artichokes Eaten Raw.
A Four.Year.Old Gourmet Of the
Barbary Coast.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Your edl-
toriai article concerning the Sibisy ex.
periments made on tho River Ridge farm
ease OF raising artichokes reminds me
Of two surprising uses OF the artichoke
as food.
Years ago I used occasionally 70 70
up on the slope Of Telegraph Hin IN
San Francisco, near tho much maiisned
and wretched Barbary Coast, and have
dinner at little restaurant called the
Lion dor. The proprietor was a Eiant
Italian. He sang as he cooked and
whistied as he secured and cleaned
range top and pots and pans In the in
terims between preparing special dishes
for each customer.
His entire establishment was one
room. But he could cook! His wife
was his CHEEKY assistant. his little young
daughter the sole waitress and his four
year-old boy the delight Of the patrons.
for, although the husky. rudy little
chap could not speak q word OF English
he was a wonder at pantomimo and re-
markable for apt shrugs and gesticula-
tions and grimaces.
One night the little boy came 70 my
table In his accustomed friendliness and,
rendering a green artichoke. motiened
that eat It. that It was good. Hts
father shouted from the range front In
assent:
sure ees good. raw. Ev'ry day I
eat myself five, six, raw like that" And
he proceeded to illustrate. pairing on the
rough points and gnawing at the bulb
as though II were luscious apple.
At that place also. and at several
other Italian restaurants, have seen
the big, long stems OF the artichoke
leaves stripped and cooked in a kind OF
batter and evidently much enjoyed - .
delicacy when so prepared.
The little boy who ate raw artichokes
Just before his bedtime also ate a huge
dinner. One night l saw him sirst eat
fully half OF two pound box OF French
mixed candy that a patron brought him,
and then go TO the table at Q o'clock
and clean UP a heaping plate Of spa
ghetti and two large rayioli and a big
goblet OF claret and some Italian bread.
The father assured me that Il was all
right good for him, and that the rudy
little four-year-oid slept well ana never
was ailing. AncHrs Ricz.

Good Polo Mounts Costly.

The price Of $1,000 paid for polo
mount gives an insight into the cost
Of playing what has been called the
millionaire's game. II takes four
mounts on the average to carry
player through such contests as the
international tournament this year
will develop.
While $4,000 was the top figure at
a recent sale Of polo mounts on Long
Island 1t is not by any means rec
ord. English periodicals show sales
at $500. and private sales may have
been made at higher prices. The price
depends on tho quality Of tho ami
NAL and how badly the player wants
the pony. A good mount. one with
the sort of sixth sense that makes
1t almost q perfect machine. is al
most priceless.
Speed, Of course. ID an essential
quality, and it was In search Of
speed that the blood Of the thorough
bred was mingled with the colder
strains. Tho game. as played for
many years. precluded the use Of any
mounts but ponies In the true sense
OF the term, practically ell OF them
being Of unknown lineage. Pony
mares mated with small thorough
bred sires developed a type which
was q great Improvement on the
original stock. Horses like Booger
Red, owned by AISAr PINxERroN.
and Fume. . product Of AUGUST
BELMoNTs Nursery Stud, played a
part in developing polo mounts In
the East, while q score Of other
small clean bred stations In Texas,
Oklahoma, Colorado and California
also were Of assistance. Importa-
tions Of English polo pony sires like
Christopher Columbus. which was
brought out a few years ago by a
Long Island syndicate. have helped
to improve the type.
With the use Of larger mounts the
racecourse was invaded in search Of
small thoroughbreds. Understood two
and three year olds Of the proper
conformation, which were once
drug on the market. now have greater
value than some OF their larger fel-
lows. and the bulk Of the polo mounts
to-day are clean bred.
All OF which Is fine thing for the
breeders Of blcod stock. as the sphere
OF the thoroughbred Ii enlarged. Per-
haps the day will come whom clean
bred American polo mount will
change hands at $4,000.

Mr.. Whalen Crosses a River.

No public improvement proposed
in New York city In recent years
has been launched under conditions
more perplexing than those that
have marked the preliminary maneu-
verings concerning the erection OF a
new bridge over the East River.
First all motor trafic was diverted
from Brooklyn Bridge. Then the
public was told that one OF the main
cables of the bridge had slipped in
a way engineers had not foreseen,
that in general the bridge was a
poor old cripple and trafic using 1t
must be restricted In way which
would render imperative the imme-
diate construction Of new bridge
to cost $50.00o.0oo.
Engineers and the wholesome COM
mon sense of the public quickly put
an end to such nonsensical talk.
And city which has learned the
utility of tunnels for under water
transportation began to ask why. II
new channels for traffic between
Manhattan and Long Island were
needed, an SIS s,00o,o 900 tube would not
serve at least as well as q $4,000, 900
bridge.
To this Commissioner WHALEN
promptly replied that the problem
OF ventilating tunnels used by motor
vehicles had not been solved. I'm
fortunately for him, 1t was at once
pointed out that on March z, 1922,
Mr.. WHALEN In his onicial capacity
signed report to Governor MILLER
declaring that experiments have
proven to scientific certainty. first,
that tunnels can be adequately ven-
tilated and, second. that the opera
tion Of the ventilating equipment will
not be unduly expensive.
This report also recorded tho fact
that "after years Of experience en-
gineers appear to be disposed to favor
the use of tunnels as a means Of
crossing rivers and other natural
barriers"
This brief resume OF ono Of the
most amazing incidents in the re-
cent history of New York city gives
conclusive evidence Of at least one
thing. 1t is that GROVER WHALEN
Is not man particularly qualified
in the science Of bridge building or
the art Of tunnel construction.

Getting Back to Work.

In his record Of work done In the
last six months Of 1921. incorporated
in the forty-fourth annual report Of
the Sewerage and Water Eoard Of
New Orleans, GEORGE G. EARL, the
general superintendent Of the intri-
cate public services which fall under
the boards Jurisdiction. wrote:
The total expenditures from tho
construction funds for 1891 were

tures in dollars. duo to higher prices

not represent nearly % much Of ac-
tual accomplishment ~ the Same
amounts expended prior to 1915

During 1891. however, prices have
gradually declined ana the sfieiency
OF labor has very materially increased
as II has como to realize the value OF
Job which It has compared with the
possibility Of no Job at all II It does
not give reasonable service on tho Job

In these sentences Mr.. EARL
sketched clearly the recovery of labor
from war imitation delusions as that
restoration to normal was observable
all over the country.
But It should be borne In mind that
labor was not alone In succumbing to
the delusions Of war days and post
war days. A good many manufac-
turers. good many commission men.
q good many merchants, . good many
professional mon and . good many
bankers went on ON an economic
spree. to wake up with headaches in
1921.

No accusing finger can be pointed by
the followers Of ono calling at the
followers of another calling for the
performances INDUCED in In 1919 and
1920. All hands must repair the dam
age done, and Mr.. EARL's report shows
that In New Orleans, as in other towns
and villages, labor was not utterly
oblivious to the signs OF the times.

Special Dispatch to THE Nuw Yosx HnALD.
WrLLIAMsTowN, Mass. Aug. s.--The
recent recognition Of Esthonia. Latvia

He said that the policy Of the State
Department had been characteristically

Ct our national interests. In the case
OF Esthonia. Latvia and Lithuania the
United States realized that It was .
question Of independence or Bolshevism
for these countries, said DR.. Dennis. so
our Government naturally threw its
weight In the scale Of Independence by
recognising them.
The United States had no other DO
litical motives in recognizing these
Baltic States. said DR.. Dennis. and It
was to avoid the appearance Of seeking
political ends that the recognition Of
the Baltic States was deferred until
after the close OF the Warrington. Genoa
and Hague conferences. when the
Russian question was at = head.

Commenting on tho conflict between
