Better Carry A
Tire Pump On
Your Life Raft
By Mm Dori. V. 5tw«
□
A speed violation is a contribut-
ing factor in one nut of every
three fatal traffic accidents, ac-
tui ding to the National Safety
This big city changes right
before your eyes and you hardly
realize it. The fabulous firm of
J. P. Morgan & Co., for instance,
which is housed in an imposing
cut-stone structure at ■ 23 Wall
Street is not the same, l. found
the other day. Oh it looks the
same on the outside, with scars
in the walls from the anarchist’s
bomb which exploded there thirty
years ago, and the matnuve door-
way through which have passed
the world’s’ greatest financia1
figures. But the stern, uniform-
ed guard who kept people away
from the front is gone, and boy1
and girls now sit outside by the
door during their lunch hour. I
walked inside, was welcomed by
a rlrasar.t attendant and shown
old J. P’s picture on the wall
above a fireplace adorned with
thousand-dollar andirons.
A local radio quiz'-program an-
nouncer got a real surprise the
other night. He dialed a telephone
number at random and asked the
feminine voice at the other end
if she was interested in winnirg
$166. The answer was a firm
“No.” Shaken with disbelief, the
crestfallen announcer then learn-
ed that he had happened to call
the wife of the owner of Macy’s
Department Store.
It’s only a block in size, in
fact it has a small building on it
which takes up part of the space
But it is filled with rows of cab
bages, bears, corn and cucum-
bers. They have even been plant-
ed and hoed in the old-fashioned
way. The owner lives in the little
building and spends his time
working amid his "crops.” He
loves his unique ‘home at 210th
Street and Broadwky, for as yet
it is untouched by the commercial
hands which build skycrapers and
apartments along other parts of
this famous street. Nearby runs
the elevated railroad, beside it
passes the motor traffic of a city
of eight million. This plot is
really something, all right. It is
the only farm :n Manhattan.
1 was walking along Thirl
Avenue' when I saw a man racing
after a little boy. As he caught
up with him, the man ejaculated
in Italian as he puffed from the
chase and held the ragged urchin
tight with one big hand. **So,'to
he said breaking into English,
‘‘You a steal a my fruit, eh?” He
jerked two oranges out of th<
boy’s pocket and shook them in
his face, as I came closer. "I’ll'
a turn you over to the cops —
you a. leetie bum!” The young
<ter had sard nothing, hanging
his head shamefully. Now he turn-
ed his dirty little pinched face
upward, and big blue Irish eyes
looked appealingly at the man.
He gulped. “Well,” he paused.
“Well a the next time then —
go on!” He gave the boy a shove
and looked at me, shaking hi:
head.
Joe Smith says that he notes
at present none of the New York
baseball teams are heading the
major league standing’s — which
is unusual. Joe even goes so far
as to say. he’d like to see some
out-of-town teams win the pen-
nants this year and have the
world series somewhere else be-
sides this metropolis. Not that
Reporta to the Game, Fiah and
Oyster Commission indicate in-
creased water hazards in Texas
from the common use of rubber
life rafts.
Several standard collapsible
rafts, as well as ordinary auto-
mobile and truck inner tubes, be-
came daflatad in deep water---------
The Texas situation was point-
ed up by the recent news report
from Grand Junction, Colorado,
about two navy officers downing
in Cottonwood Lake when their
rubber raft collapsed far from
shore.
Safety experts have noted that
most persons venturing into deep
water on inflated automobile tire
Tubes cannot swim and thus are
helpless when the makeshift
preserver loses its buoyancy. The
commercial variety of rubberized
raft are generally considered
sinkproof since they have separat-
ed air compartments. If one com-
partment becomes deflated, others
usually keep it afloat.

Joe doesn’t like the New York
teams. Fact is, he’s kinda crazy
about them Brooklyn Dodgers.
But he thinks this city has had
enough pennant-winners f o t
awhile and believes the prizes
should be passed around.
I have known Wung Lu fot
several months now. He is a
Korean student in this country
attending Columbia University so
he can go back to his native land
and teach. So I asked him about
the war over there. He said it
was inevitable, that the 38th
parallel line had been a hot spot
for a long time now and he was
not surprised it had at last ex-
ploded into fighting. He blamed
the Russians mainly but admitted
that many of his own people were
at fault too, there being a num-
ber, he said, who were flighty
and inconsistent in their at-
titudes. But he is sure the South
Koreans — with the help of
U. S. — will win.
I.a«t summer in New York was
an unprecedented scorcher, and
some of this summer’s days bid
fair to be a* warm. All of which
seems to add heated emphasis to
the saying that this city is the
melting pot of the United States.
