New York. July H.-Broadway is soon
TO see the futurist suit for mere man.
II Gertrude Stein was to describe Il she
would probably chirp: "scariet tomatoes
maxixing on Broadway. Hope IA Sylvia
Pankhurst no hope in chocolats sun
dae. Pink bicycles, lavender cigars and
a button melting into symphony" The
new futurist win be born By Ralph
Herr and after he dons the suit his name
Will probably be more appropriate than
ever. This IL what the futurist man
dress win be; A comfortable unsym-
metrical suit made In one piece with one
button. twinkling with eolors. brilliant
vivid colors, no straight lines. ali cones.
triangies, spirals and circles Collar.
shirt, coat and trousers must be pointed
on one side and round on the other.
There must be no so-called good taste
and harmony Of tone.
Thomas Hade, for thfrty-hve years
major-domo OF the Astor family. has
been retired by young Vincent Astor. on
a salary OF $50 a week for life. and
lump sum Of $500 Hade will take up
his residence in one OF the fashionable
suburbs Of Long Island. He has built
a fine big house and has two cars at his
disposal. As a servant in the Astor
pie OF Europe and America and his trips
have been large and plentiful. He was
said to have been Rffable and kind. and
was a general favorite In New York and
Newport.
A Western editor always speaks OF Col
Roosevelt as Col. T. r. Roosevelt and
at the Outlook ONCE II is said that hun
drsds' Of letters are received for T. R.
Roosevelt. However. much the people
may make mistakes in little things Col.
Roosevelt does not. He may be a terri
BILE innovator. a furious reformer. and
jungle wolf. but he remains steadily con-
servative in the matter OF infnitives,
which he never splits. A New Yorker
who is fond Of the colonel. and Is sure
that he has never split the infinitive. has
also taken the pains TO discover that
there are no split infinItives in the Bible.
because the Bible has no adverbs lying
around to get in between the parts OF
The verb.
Rube Goldberg. whose clever cartoons
are published in The Sunday Herald. is
on on his yearly trip to Europe. From
the big liner Aquatsnia he wirelessed a

Is a great boat but now that I am on
Il, what is II going to do with me?" A
party Of friends went down to the pier
10 bid Goldberg bon voyage and listen to
his running fire remarks. for he Is thst
as amusing in conversation as ne is in
his cartoons. While grouped about him |
one of the latest things in huffs OF
Broadway cantered by. He was dressed
In a corset fitting coat, cone shaped
straw hat. purple spats, and a wrist
watch. Goldberg got one look and
sighed: And they wonder" he unused,
what causes the increase in crime"
The New Boyland drug law in New York
has made the peddlers of cocain. opium.
heroin, and kindred dope" very wary. |
A special dope squad is now on duty
night and day TO round up the peddlers
and users OF cocaine. More than 300 ar
rests and raids have been made. The
law is charitable in that drug users will
not be confined with prisoners. but will
be sent to the Central Islip Asylum for
treatment The curative or remedial side
Of the law Is illustrated in the first COM
nitment under 1t. The prisoner was
swyer and magazine writer of good
Lamily who had become a drug user
n a way highly ordinary-his first ac-
luaintance with dope came when NOR |
