 Now that two of the ieanest years in history are put well behind them. New Workers are just besinning to count the profits of returning. prosper- ity. for the lack of which the. iaat two days of public thanksgiving, have made a sorry showing. Buoyed up on this general wave of confidence the price of food stuffs for the coming ceiebration are today threatening to reach the high-water mark.
 Tons of turkeys are being held for holiday figures ranging we'll up from 30 and 35 cents pound. Miniature mountains of cranberries and other vegetables necessary to the spread are offered at silt edged prices about ths big market places of this town. For all It's expensive trimmings. however. the Thanksgiving table will this year De surrounded by the happiest crowds that have been mustered here In half c dozen years. .sf.N
 secret saares. :
 Spreading by stealth through the se- cluded hooks of the best hotel and4res idential sections. the gambling game in this town Is today reported to be hidden far beyond the reach of the most inquisitive public authorities Not that fiourfshed in the oiden days of Tamfnany rule are at pressnt in active operation, and apparently the days Of the old guard of notorious gentlemen gamblers are ended here for all time.
 Though these conspicuous snares are now apparently swept away forever. the web of the gaming spider Is known to have been, secretly spun through hundreds of back rooms and corridors of the best hotels and night resorts Of the upper tenderloin. A small army of fiy-by-n might gamblers have been found to- irifest every lobby in the white ii9ht distrtcts, and. the victims of their se- cretewiles kfsabetns caught by scores each night.aF q

 That the teeth of only three per cent. Of All New York's school children are in sound condition is the verdict of. 2 council of dentists, through whose. er- forts free tooth treatment has been 0BNUn ak HGFEfHi RQtAk1 satt st4ey yS1 " sS- day. Gross neglect of their masticat- ing machinery is threatening to spread disease and death through the poorer quarter of this town, the dental, ex- perts declare. and every emort will be made to .waken the youngsters as well a. their elders to their immediate need for tooth tinkering. ss, sss< s.ls..-.
 Though rows of. dental chairs yawn. free of charge. for the accomrnoda ton of the children of the tenement dts- tricts in the clinics that have just been ed sto save are lighting shy Of the new proposition. Even the tooth brushes that the benefactors are handing out are being received with some suspi- cion by the young beneficiaries. No one expects to see the dentist's driti- ings made popular here even to the owners Of the most neglected sets 9of teeth.
 ITO root up the central system of the police force from its.old headauarters in Mulberry Street and transplant 1t without hitch Into it's new building a mile uptown 10 a problem that is today perplexing the heads of the de- partment here. For months the prep arations for this unusual shift of police centers have been made in the great structure, which New York has spent many years and much money to erect for the proper housing of Its blsecoats.
 Caravans of trucks bearing the be- iongirgs of the bureaus of headquar- ters are daily transferring their loads of fiies, furniture and police paraplfer- nalia to their new home. Elaborate arrangements for re-centering. the po- lice signal system without the loss of a second are already underway. When this new focus for the force is opened at the end of this month. It Is hoped that no part of its important activi- ties will have been seriously disturbed.
 suffrngettes Seen. ,t,
 Making a holiday for gaping crowds of idlers,, a squad of militant suffra- gettes are, today roaming the public sauares of this town, trying to sell copies of magazines setting forth their cause Thus far only jeers and in- duiEent smiles have rewarded the ef- forts of these vigorous women. whose every step has been dogged by cu- rions and often rude throng@ of men and Boys. No attempt is appaeently being made to convert the crowds to female suffrage except through the sale of the printed doctrine Downtown New York is always ready for street diversion. and for this purpose the .in- noyation is proving chiefly welcome.
