Stray Bits Of News From
Little Old New York

Ascension Memorial Episcopal
Church, a neat, somewhat old-fashion-
ed brick structure in West Forty
third Street. between Seventh and
Eighth Avenues. was the scene of a
rather unusual celebration the other
day, the forty first anniversary of the
Rev. John Floyd Stems appointment
as rector of that church. When Rev
Steen took charge of the church forty
one years ago, the surroundings were
of a suburban character. There were
large unoccupied spaces. small wooden
cottages and series OF dumping
grounds in the direction toward the
Hudson. AZ that time the congrega-
ton consisted mostly of farmers and
suburbanites Things have changed
almost hidden by the large buildings
on all sides of il and its parish house,
which stands about fifty feet from the
building line in the rear of the lot, is
quite lost To the hurried view Theatres
and restaurants are all around the
church and on the opposite side of the
street a large han is now building.
The congregation has also undergone
a wonderful change. 1t consists now
mostly of chorus girls and other theat-
rical folk and the Sunday school, al
though it is still continued, has de-
creased in membership TO a mere
handful Of children. some of whom are
the sons or daughters of members of
the congregation, who now live at a
considerable distance from the old
church.

Since 1890 the number of grade
crossings in Massachusetts, has been
reduced from 1920 to 1,S0S. Thirteen

contrasted with that made in New
York. where there arc nearly 5000
grade crossings. New York's upstate

the Legislature to require the expend-
iture of at least s6,0Oo,OO a year in the
