NEW YoRK's ODD CORNERS
Quaint Survivals Of Other DAYS That
Are But Seldom Noticed by
People Now.

Travellers like to visit the oddly
named little streets OF old London Town
that they may talk Of them to their In.
Inmates, but few of those who pry into
the corners of foreign cities know OF
the quaint survivals of other days in
the very heart Of the new world metrop-
oils, Of Flat and Barrack Hill, Tin Pot
Alley, Edgar Street and Petticoat Lane
in the midst of the financial district OF
New York, writes Charles Hemstreet,
in Four-Track News.
Standing at 81 Broadway one looks
down a steep and narrow street that was
the joy of the small boys Of a century
and a half ago. for then this spot was
known as Flat and Barrick Hill. and
down the slope in winter time the lads
and lassies coasted, speeding on into
Garden street, as the rude road was
known after IT crossed Broad street.
Now. under the more significant name OF
exchange place, this street wriggles
between great sky-scrapers, and from
Broadway one can see the edge of the
largest office building in the world. the
Broad exchange, on the southeast corner
OF Broad street and Exchange place.

HOW TO OUTFIT FOR CAMP
Various Articles which VIII De
Found Convenient and Use
full In Outing.

Before starting on the trip, make
baEs for everything. Make them with
draw strings and Of different material
to suit the various articles, advises
Arnold Bartlett Parker, In Recreation.
Oil silk for your toothbrush, canton
flannel for your fish reels and bags OF
different colored cloth for the other OBJ
jects. Make each bag distinctive, 50 that
you can readily identify its contents.
In packing my DUNE into camp use a
pair Of war bags made by Q western
concern. They can be used as valises on
board train or ship, can be strapped to
q mules back, or made into knapsack.
They are thoroughly waterproof and
hold nearly as much as a steamer trunk.
Another important item in my outfit Is
light rubber pouch, which serves
many purposes and occupies small space
In the bag. Bags should be obtained for
the transportation Of provisions and q
careful review Of any Of the catalogues
issued by the large Quitting people will
reveal a varied assortment from which
TO select.
Every member Of a camping party
should be supplied with a good knife, q
pocket compass, a folding drinking cup.
and a waterproof matchbox. Other i'm
portant adjuncts Of the spontsman's kit
are wire nails, canvas water pals, an
AZ and several lanterns, preferably those
made Of aluminium folding In a small

They rode to the church in a car

and she wore large white hat, made

Charles Gano Baylor in his article
in The Broad Ak Of last week refers
to the Negro soldiers at San Juan
Hill as the "Japs" Of the American
army. He is mistaken. The black
boys who carried the day at San Juan
Hill are a part of the original Black
Phalanx of America. They have no
and all comparisons, SIM
lies or metaphors of heroism in which
these born fighters are mentioned
must be based on them, not they on
others. They are the original model,
others are the likeness.-The Frater-

say "Nebraska?" AS an adequate an

was not one Of the original states, but
