THE GREAT WHITE WAY
By o. o. M'INTYRE.

Special Correspondent OF The WASHINGTON Herald.
New York, Jan. 13.-Another one Of the
Broadway millionaire kids has been heard
from, Harold A. Weissman, once OF Man
haitian but now of Brooklyn, once a
spender, but now a singer-a singer of
songs for his supper-insists that his story
is the saddest of all.
He was no petted heir. He earned his
money, and at the age Of nineteen was
scattering from $500 to $4OO a week be-
tween Thirtyfourth street and Columbus
circle, on Broadway.
He is only twenty-five now-but he has
learned his lesson. When he was seven
tween he began making scads of money
selling cotton. Then he went in for the
foolish water, and now he's broke Here
is his advice to the new conner to New
York: IF you've got to see Broadway.

More than 100000 New Workers. live in
fats. In, all suburban boroughs the size
Of the average house is increasing, while
in New York City the cost is maintained
so high that the new homes cannot be-
come available for any except families of
large incomes. As many old structures
are being demolished each year, It is ap-
parent that the poorer families are being
forced out Of Manhattan to the cheaper
homes OF the suburbs.
The defect in the machinery Of organ
lied charity was shown in a glaring man
ner last week. A man signing the name
Of Mason Ward wrote a newspaper,
that having failed to obtain either work
or charitable relief and facing destitution
he intended to end all-kill himself and
family by the gas route. He declared he
had visited more than 800 places in search
OF work.
The appeal was followed by immediate
prOffers OF assistance. Several sent sub
stantial sums of money, others sent cloth
ing, and another man offered the unfor-
tunate Job. The cry of despair had only
to be heard to elicit a response.
The car lines in New York are raising a
howl over the proposed extension Of the
bus system, which is cutting into their
income. They say it's unfair because
the city owes everything to the railways

Easy Way TO
Make Hair
Attractive

Ladies who find trouble in properly
or attractively arranging and dress
ing their hair should try using a lit
tie Partisan Sage twice daily for a
while and note the remarkable i'm
provement. Partisan Sage. which
can be obtained from w. l.. Gokay or
any drug counter, makes the hair
soft, lustrous, fluffy and wavy, takes
out the dull, lifeless appearance, dis
solves the dandruff and stimulates
the hair roots into healthy normal
action. Instead of merely sprinkling
the hair, it should be rubbed right in
to the scalp with the finger tips. Par
isian Sage is delightful treatment
for both hair and scalp, cannot pos
sibly injure the hair and is very in
expensive.
