And the amazing and disconcering dis
covery Is this: There are no slums In
New York.
You can flnd crime and criminals:
you can flnd vice. poverty. drunken
ness. disease. but you cannot find a
slum-such slums as blacken and
tester In Antwerp. Genoa. Naples,
Paris. London and many another old
world city. The reason is that you
cannot have a slum without nlth, and
New York is q clean city Neither

suburbs that lie outside the fortifica-
tions-for year by year the centrifugal
force that stirs In every great ag
giomeration of human atoms has
thrown Partisan beggardom into that
dreary circumference.
But In the washed and lighted un-
derworld of New York there are no
slums. There Ia not one slum that

A ''short circuit means that the elec.

cut out that part OF the circuit through
which the current originally flowed. In

Curiosity Often Lures the Watohtui
Animal TO lss Fate.
In hunting the caribou q1ietness is
essential Never break a twig IL you
can avoid 1t. for a cracking branch
makes noise which carries far AND
may give warning OF your approach to
the very stag you particularly want.
Equally important is II TO keep sharp
lookout at all times. especially when
entering barren. where stag may
be sleeping. for under such conditions
they are hard to see. Among the nu-
merous gray dead stumps and moss
covered low trees the color OF the carl
traiced eye will fail to detect the ami
NAL even at close range. The f1rst IN
timation will be glimpse of disap-
pearing patch OF white as the caribou
vanishes into the woods.
All these things considered. the carl
bou of Newfoundland is not as alert as
any other deer that ] know OF and Is
therefore more readily approached
There Is, OF course. great variation
among them. some being extremely
alert and difficult to stalk. while 9th.

allow man to walk right up TO within
a few yards before taking slight. Curl
osity is often noticeable falling with

ter to count too much on 1t. for the
very thing which you imagine will
tempt this curiosity will as likely az
not frighten them away. Sometimes
strange noise will make them very
inquisitve. and they will come within
few feet to find out what 1t is. Then.
