purnose. This year the compulsory edit
cation law and the growth of the schools
have required an extra allowance of

m THE UPPER BROADWAY.
The Only Thoroughfare in New York
Where Business and sociability
Meet In Friendship.

There is no other street in New
York like Upper Broadway, still
called by the early settlers the
Boulevard. 1t is free from con
gestion. All the way up from
Seventy-second street to the rise
that leads to Harlem Heights
known to the new generations az
Columbia Heights-there are the
center strips of green, and when
the weather man has done his
duty one may see vast expanse
of blue above.
In the beginning it was the In
tenti0n to make this boulevard
the real thing. 1t was expected
that it would be thoroughfare OF
homes, driveway for fashionable
equipages and a promenade. 1t
was to become a concOurse.
Then something happened. The
home-seekers went two blocks to
the west. Shops were set up
here and there in the Boulevard.
Then came cafes, and apartment
hotels crowded in and were built
skyward.
When the subway people decid.
ed that they needed the under part
Of the thoroughfare the name of
the street was changed. The
Boulevard" was dropped. Broad.
way was substituted. Custom
called it Upper Broadway.
When the shops and cafes and
apartment hotels began crowding
IN, apartment houses followed.
You will see things if you stand
or walk in Upper Broadway in the
evening that you won't see in any
other part of Manhattan. Under
the apartment houses are stores.
They are attractive to peep into.
They have the cleanliness and
freshness OF quiet cities like Utica
and Syracuse and Rochester.
In front of these buildings arc
big shade trees. They are remind
ers of what the Boulevard was
to have been. Here, in the sum.
mer evenings, you will find chairs
or lawn benches.
The storekeeper has placed
them there for the benefit of his
customers. Some of the latter live
in the apartments above. Some
live around the corner.
These customers come out in
the evening with their families.
They sit in front of the open doors
of the stores. The men smoke.
The women form groups and chat.
Sometimes the boss of the store
comes out coatless. He may stand
in his open door and have a talk
with his customers across the
sidewalk.
The stores do not close at six or
seven or eight. They are open as
long as the customers sit about
the entrance. Not for business
necessarily, but for sociability.
There are no long lines of pedes.
trians, no hurry, no shouting.
That restlessness so conspicuous
all over town elsewhere is not seen
in Upper Broadway
Even the clerks of the little
shops sit outside in the evening
on camp chairs. If a customer
comes along there is no rush to
get his money.
"Rut they shouldn't have called
it Upper Broadway say the peo.
pie. There is nothing about it
to suggest Broadway"

SERMON TO UNION men
Union Men, and Their Friends
Heard Rev. Boen Last Night

II was announced Saturday tha
at the Christian church Rev. Boer
would deliver an especially prepar
ed sermon for Union men, and a:
a result the auditorium OF the
building was crowded to the limit.
The center Of the room was reserv-
ed for large number who came in
body.
Rev. Boen took for his text a
portion of the 10Th verse Of the
first chapter Of Genesis "And God
said, let us make man in our own
image, after our likenesses. ("
He said in part;-"There are
three great problems today which
are attracting the attention Of the
world, they are the whisky problem
the negro problem and the pro
blem of labor and capital. Union
were first organized when God said
let us make man. Everything that
God created is systcmatized and
everything in nature works. Man
is the only thing in the I'm
iverse that is not laboring for
God.
From the beginning there have
been rules to live by, the first one
was the Iron rule, when Might
makes right. "The second, the Con-
fusian rule, which said "do not unto
others that you would not have
them do unto you. But that didn't
cover the ground until the rule Civ
en- to mankind by our Savior, the
golden rule, do unto others as you
would have others do unto you"
We are living under that rule to-
day.
The danger to unionism is from
the inside, not from the outside.
individuals with authority are
subject to temptation. A man who
works for union IS to be encour
aged. but a man or party who
works the unions is a bad thing.
Don't advocate strikes. think Of
the consequences and always keep
level headed men in the responsible
position, l would caution you to
keep your eye on the man who is
talking for unions and who won
pay his bills. Don't allow divisions
to come in your orders for it will
surely break up the order.
The sermon was listened to at
tentively and at its conclusion
large number of those present ex
pressed thier approval and interest
in the address.
