in another three days. / haven't
been visited by infantile paraly-
sis yet, so probably will escape
it. A month aboard battle
ship ought to exempt one from
almost everything, except prob
ably the fascination of bright
lights and tall buildings.
Twas transferred to the Rhode
Island which disembarked at
Philadelphia. | spent a day and
night there and two days at At
lantic City and then came up
here. A fellow from Milwau-
kee has been with me all the
time. He left for Baltimore to-
night, so I will be alone from
now on. He is a fine chap and
we had great time together.
He and his father are interior
decorators and believe me / sure
ly learned lot about that work.
Every building we went into he
would begin picking out the
faults and good qualities in the
interior finish. I feel as though
I could decorate house now.
l called at the Chase National
Bank and got a check cashed as
you probably noticed. Mr.. Pur-
dy was out of town so I didn't
see him, but Mr.. Lee showed me
about. They have some bank.
I learned a. good deal about
building a bank. / am going to
drop around in the morning and
they will send a man to show me
the inside and outside of the
Clearing House. That ought to
be interesting. Possibly Mr..
Purdy will be in tomorrow.
Enjoys Ball Games
l am taking in many ball
games. Went over to Brooklyn
and saw them beat Pittsburg 3
to 2. AS Brooklyn will prob
ably be in the Worlds Series
this year, was glad to have
the chance to see them play.
AS these are only few games
left on the schedule and several
teams have chance at the pen
nant, there is considerable ex-
element at the games.
The strike here is quite seri-
Gus, although no great trouble
has come of it so far. The LIS
and subways are almost nor
NAL, but very few surface cars
are running. | was wondering
how all the people were taken
care Of, but l discovered that
tonight. After coming from the
ball game l walked down Broad
way for about two miles and 1
noticed no cars were running.
When | happened over to Fifth
Avenue which runs parallel to
Broadway, I noticed that every
sort of rig was turned into a
jitney, from a one-horse cart to
a truck. They all seemed filled
up, yet they were after more
passengers. There were so many
and all stopping anywhere along
the street, that one could walk
as fast as they went.
Goes to Coney Island
am going to make a trip to
Coney Island tomorrow, if the
weather is good. So far it. has
been fine-today it was almost
too warm. Took in a show at
the Winter Garden tonight. It
was fine nothing like it in the
West.
Say, if you have any spare
change send it along. I have a
great investment for you. Stock
in the American Aircraft Co. It
is a concern which is bidding
for the contract for aircrafts
which the government expects
to buy soon. I saw their dis
play and dropped in-they al
most talked my head off. Great
investment, so they say. Air
crafts and air-castles are all the
same to me.
