NEW YORK. May 26.-Many things
can happen along its route that Broad
way and its citizens care but little
about, included among which might be
named the hour at which the milk
wagons arrive and any new drink that
William jennings Bryan might be
sponsor for.
But II, and It's. does care about its
tonsorial artists and when the news
spread that the BARRIERS were going to
call strike the street appeared bit
gloomy. AT present the smoothly
shaver face is quite the thing. But, II
the BARRIERS strike, whiskers may be-
come popular.
Then. too. the actor OF forty who has
been playing juvenile parts would be
exposed. Eo longer could he convince
the manager that he was only twenty
two.
All in all, no matter what happens

There was something inspiring
about tho preparedness parade in New

through the streets.
Military bands were sprinkled
through the long lines OF marchers and
played Justify the new patriotic song,
Wake Up America!" Many of the
marchers sang the refrain and staid

hoarse.
1t took the parade more than an hour
to pass a given point. Some of the
marchers declared they had not
walked 80 far In years and there was

Broadway's most celebrated beauty
has broken all presidents. Most Of
the Broadway beauties marry Pitts
burg millionaires but this one married
a newspaper reporter He isn't exact
ly reporter now but he has been all
his life UP to u few years ago.
The news came from London that
Kay Iaurell, who used to be SIS a
week telephone girl in Erie, Pa, had
married Winnie Sheehan, long a police
reporter on the Evening World.
There was no intimation that they
weer to be married. In fact they had
not been seen together much on
Broadway. Sheehan was over in Eng
land on moving picture business. Miss
LAUREL came into Erie to be an artists
model and her beauty soon won her
place In a beauty chorus where she be-
came the pettcd darling OF first night
ers.
The annual pilgrimage to the sum-
mer homes has begun. Long Beach
seems to be greatly in public favor al
though many say 1t is too close to
New York to be exclusive. Still one
OF the most exclusive summer resorts
is TANNED up against Coney Island.
1t is Sea Gate and you have to be
known before the gatekeeper will per-
NIT you to enter.
Mr.. Kisco is also proving quite pop
ular for those who own their own cars
as II takes the dweller a fine ride
up the Hudson and through Tarrytown
and around PocantIllo Hills.

ONE BOY SHOT IN NEWSPAPER
CIRCULATION BATTLE

Vito Pantusco, 1928 OsgOod, could
sell 40 Heralds at his news stand, Van
Buren, and La Sale sts., but the driver
for Keeley's sheet insisted that he
take 125, he says.
Pantusco told the driver he could
not sell them and refused to "eat"
the papers just to build up Herald
circulation.
Then other newsboys, bigger than
Vito, started making trouble. They
beat him up and tried to ruin his bus
mess. Saturday night a bunch of
huskies stood around his stand, all
selling papers and shouting their pa
pers so loudly that customers paid no
attention to Pantusco's stand. Pan
tusco drew a gun and shot Myron
Minski, 1921 NewberTy aV., in the leg.
. Pantusco and David Hartman, who
is said to have sided with Minski,
were arrested. A representative of
the Herald got Hartman's release on
bonds.

POOR SDELLERS
WILL Be FOUND
State Board Of Regents Will Submit
Its List to the Schools Of
the State.

The state board of regents has been
appalled, by the recent tests in the
state -normal schools showing def
cheney in spelling. and campaign is
to be waged for Improvement. A
list of words has been prepared by
b. f. Marsh, secretary of the state
board of regents, to be submitted to
students.
The test is declared to be superior
in the matter of practicability to that
submitted recently by the school de-
partmfent of Ohio in an effort to de.
termine whether the pupils and
teachers of that state really could
spell. The Ohio list is condemned by
the West Virginia educators on the
ground that there is mo reason why
the average man should want to spell
such words"
