NEW YORK
DAY BY DAY
By D. .. MCINTYRE


Special Correspondent Of The Washington Herald
New York, May 9.-The Broadway
Extortion Crowd, known by some as
walters. are up to new rticks in the
gilded cafes. 1t is gentle little
form of highway robbery, that is they
do not stick gun in your face and
do not wear masks.
1t used to be that when they want
to sink the javelin in the customers
wallet they put the change under the
bill so that if you were one who did
not count the change they were so much
ahead
The new gouge is used when the
party may be a little spiffly from too
much boozerine. After the first round
the waiter serves the bill, but he
doesn't pay it in. He submarines it
in his jeans
After the second round he presents
the now double bill and so gets paid
for the first round again. Just how
often he repeats the procedure de-
ponds on the unmitigated nerve of the
waiter. Walters nerves, IT is believed
by Broadwayites, are made of cast
iron.
Robert Hastings Goodman doesn't
profess TO be a vocalist. but that is
no reason why he should be insulted.
He was singing at the Friars' Club
the other morning. He had finished one
song when George Parsons turned and
thanked him.
oh, Bob, sing it over" said Mr..
Parsons.
Yes" came from Dick earle, over
in Jersey"
The concert ended right there with
Goodman exiting poutingly.
Brooklyn. which is across the creek
firm New York. is looking for a slogan.
Something with a little pep and only
FIVE words. Just one of those punchy
little lines that will make any man
die almost with longing for the place.
Several thousand suggestions have
ben made One that is favored is:
Don't Go West. Brooklyn's Best" Stil
another is received with acclaim. It
is: Brooklyn uber Allies" Evidently
the trolley dodgers have no sense OF
humor.
From far away Kansas City comes
another from DR.. F. NJ Planck, who
has lived in Brooklyn at odd times
while taking post graduate courses.
He suggests: "A Live Wire City"
This is very subtle indeed and also
zippy for Brooklyn has more trolley
wires than any other city on the globe
and lot OF them fall and tickle I'M
suspecting bystanders now and then.
Among the new and odd piscatorial
specimens at the Aquarium is one
that captures flies by lying on the
surface like a piece of wood until the
insects are comfortably settled. Then

report that the Hayden and Amster Com

FOREMAN IN DISTRICT

Fixed My Stomach in Fine Shape
and Helped My Rheumatism"
Feels Like New Since
Taking "Dreco."

Yes, sir. Dreco has filled me with
new life and energy, and l feel more
like myself than in months. Every
one has noticed the wonderful i'm
provement in my condition, and I'm
only too glad to say a god word for
1t. l have taken different medicines
ever since I've been sick. but none
seemed to help me till l took Dreco. 1t
has put me on my feet again. My
work as foreman in the District Sur
face Division keeps me outside most
of the time and during the winter 1
suffered much from rheumatism pains
in my back and limbs, and l got where
| could not sleep well. My stomach
was all deranged, and everything 1 ate
would sour and form gas, which made
me nervous and gave me headaches.
My tongue was coated and breath
foul: in fact, I was generally run
down. Like most everybody else. l
got to reading about Dreco and decid-
ed to try it. I can now understand
why every one praises it, for it helped
me right from the start. My rheu-
matism is better than in months and
my stomach in fine shape: am not
troubled with sourness nor gas, pains
in back. limbs, and headaches are all
relieved. Dreco has fulfilled every
expectation for me-"

When Autumn Has Blown

VIII they be wider than they have
been or will they be Simmer and is II
true that they are to be longer? These
are the questions that are asked about
the new coats and frocks for autumn,
and they wait an authoritative answer.
The new models in coats are just as
ample in width as those of the past
season, and they are longer. And,
since many costumers have already
presented designs incorporating these
features, 1t is evident that they are
pinning their faith to mode not
greatly changed.
AS to coats, in some of them, bodies
are little closer fitting, but skirts are
full-very full-and longer than they
have been. But the coat cut on full
lines, with loose adjustment to the
figure, like that shown in the picture
need not concern itself about the latest
whim Of style, because 1t is always
good style. This is one of the first of
the new models. and one need not fear
that any other, however original. will
discredit it.
There are several cloths, tried and
true, for a coat like that in the pic
ture. Cheviot, jersey, broadcloth,

TRAINING TODAY'S

Parent Who Remembers How Things

His Boy.
BY sIpoNlE M. eRuENeERe.

A L THE cub Jones was reading the
"A paper to himself and making com.
ments to all within hearing. Suddenly
he sat up and put down the paper.
WAS that Waite.s boy" he asked,
that was mixed up in that affair
down at the lake," No one seemed to
know. Didn't even know there had
been an affair. In that case Jones had
to read to them. 1t was the story of
n boy who had gone over the edge of
pier and was pulled out by another
boy who happened to be passing. The
boy who happened to be passing
was young Bob, and he happened along
at time when he was supposed to
be in school. That was the point. AL
though no one denied that it was emf
nently proper for him to jump into the
water ard save the ragged stranger,
all were agreed that he had no busi-
ness there. He was obviously playing
truant.
IF boy Of mine did that" said
Saffron, I'D let him take all the
medals and fine speeches that were
coming to him, and after the celebra-
tion was all over l would take him
into the woodshed and give him the
worst licking of his young life"
That sounded very heroic and very
reasonable. After all, it's wicked to
play truant. 1t was only a lucky
chance that the boy came along in
time to save the other child-perhaps
this one had been truant also. The
chances were even that another time,
he'd got run over by a fire engine. The
boys place is in the school, and he
had no business along the lake front.
He needed a lesson that would teach
him his place.
1t made Saffron real angry to think
of son of his committing an outrage
upon law and morals. And the things
he hat in mind to do were-well, they
were just the expressions of his anger.
They were not thought out policies of
applying force where 1t would do the
most good. They were the instructive
appeals to violence, and had just about
as much moral value as Bob's own
dereliction.
And Brown, who had not been say
ing anything, could see that. And so
he Joined the conversation. He would
not approve of truancy. He knew it
was bad thing and liable to lead to
worse things. But there's no use get

II you cannot afford expensive pic

ugly ones. There are lovely prints that
can be bought for song, and If you

gray, brown or black mats and tack
them unframed on the wall. japanese
prints can be bought, in n size lit

each. There are many lovely designs.

What Impressed Her.

Shortly after VIII Crooks, the labor
leader, was elected to parliament, says
an English weekly, he took his little
daughter to Westminster. She was
evidently awed at the splendors around
her, and maintained profound and
wondering silence all the time. Mr..
Crooks was much impressed.
"Well," said he to her at last, what
are you thinking so deeply about,
dear?"

Millinery of Tomorrow

Even before September begins, and
while August proclaims the high tide
OF summer, velvet and felt hats make
their entrance into the world of fash.
Ion. For several years past black vel
vet has shared with white satin. and
other all-white hats, a midsummer
vogue. The combination Of these two
fabrics makes the coolest-looking and
most sparkling millinery and comes In
Its logical elegance, when women have
grown tired of all the beautiful, color
full hats with which they welcome the
spring.
But black and white are used for
street and dress hats and not for sports
and outing hats. These are In wildly
colored felts with many-colored, odd,
not to say fantastic, trimmings. Many
of them, especially those designed for
young women and girls, content them
selves with band and bow. or rather
simple trim, of ribbon.
Three of the handsomest new hats
for late summer and early fall are
shown in the picture above. At the

We must know not merely enough
to improve on the methods of revenge
and penalty; we must know enough to

point at which his instincts conflict
with the requirements of the world to
which he must adjust himself.

velours and other standard weaves are
the best choice for it. Buttons, COW
cred with silk or satin matching the
cloth in color and narrow but full
bands of fur at the neck and cuffs
give 1t just the right kind of finish.
The narrow belt which makes pre-
tense of confining the wrap at the
waistline, really holds the fullness
of the garment in carefully disposed
plaits. 1t fastens at the front with n
big hook and eye of metal.
At the left front buttons, and loops
made of silk cord, make secure fas-
tening. Besides its increased length
this coat introduces us to the latest
idea in capes-short at the front and
very much heightened at the back.
Thus, by displaying two new style fea-
lures, it proclaims its acceptance of
them and its place in the styles of
tomorrow.

Something to Reoret.

In Washington hotel lobby the 9TH
er night reference was made to the
wonderful thoughts of the little folk,
when this incident was recalled by
Congressman J. Edward Russell of
Ohio:
One afternoon little Bessie sat in
the kitchen watching her mother
weave n hot iron through the dainty
frills Of some white frocks. The day
was warm, and mother looked some
what weary.
Mamma" finally remarked the little
girl In sympathetic voice, isn't it
very hard work to irOn?"
"Yes, dear" answered mother, with
n soft sigh, sometimes 1t is very
hard"
For n moment the little girl thought
fully communed with herself, and then
her face became brightly illuminated.
"Oh, mamma ~ she enthusiastically
exclaimed. Wouldn't it have been
great If you had married Chinaman?'
