LITTLE NEW YORK STORIES
 BY A BIRMINGHAM MAN
By ALLEN GRIFFIN JOHNSON

Nav York, June 8.-(Special )--After all, you can remain right down there in the heart of the Smoked Jewel of Jones valley. and see every remarkable sight that we of Manhattan ever behold provided you patronze the movies. The realization of this gave me peculiar sensation this morning, as I stood away up in the Bronx, at the intersection of Anderson avenue and One Hundred and Sixty-second street and watched mod ern six-story apartment building moving a distance of 60 feet right on the edge of a predptious hillside at the foot of which gleamed the rails of the Jerome avenue surface car line.
 Within few feet of where I stood, three moving picture machines were busily grinding away, and I couldn't help thinking, Well. sir, they'll soon be looking at this right down in old Bir- mingham" And when you do see it l hope these bits of added information about it will make the picture more in- teresting.
 ,rae building is a big brick structure, almost as deep as it is tall, and housing 20 families yet only six men were en- fiaged in moving it, and nothing was used but jacks. rails and wooden blocks. Yet there was not so much as the dis placement of piece of plastering.
 The work is being done by Charles Money and the gentleman with the prosperous name is receiving $15,000 for the job" The building is now owned by the Interborough, and the change of location was necessitated by the fact that it formerly occupied spot through which the extension of the Sixth and Ninth avenue IT line is to run The plot ct ground over which the apartment house was moved was soft, and the work was doubled on account of the necessity for making this ground hard enough to bear the weight of the big building. have seen little frame houses moved bodily, and I know that practically one

, whole side of State. street, in the little village of Chicago was moved backward but l had never before seen a 2O-family apartment house carted around like that, and the sight was a very unusual one, even, to New Workers. And Mr. Money
 requested the families living inN it to leave their furniture and everything just as it was. Some families did so, while others, fearing an. accident moved out temporarily. The change of location was made without mishap, however and is remarkable bit of work, even for these days when remarkable things have al- st become commonplace. The 'L extension will really be under ground at this point, but the removal of the house was necessary, as the tracks will be only 20 feet below the surface. As you may know, New York's subway Is an '14' at a number of uptown points, where it comes out of the side of a hill, but this will be the first underground eNrcrience of regular 'L" lines
 It still looks odd to some of us to see six or ten regular railroad coaches just like they used to use, and may still be using on the A., B. & A.-runnins along at great speed on the tracks of the New York Central, unaided by an engine l of any sort. These tracks, you know, are electrocuted or electrified, or some thing of the sort, but the coach with the necessary power attached, is. to all outward appearances, exactly like any ordinary day coach, and the whole train has decidedly bob-tailed or bob-headed appearance
 Saturday was Dixie Day at the allied bazaar, Grand Central palace-on that occasion southerners were permitted to donate as literally as they wanted to.

ALSO WITH LOUIS w. HILL


 The election of Louis w. Hill as the director of the First National bank to succeed his father tends to confirm the influence that James J. Hill had thor oughly planned for the management and control of his properties and estate and did so in such satisfactory manner to him as to make it unnecessary to set forth his desires in will
 It is presumed that the son will take his fathers place upon other boards. He has an almost unique responsibility He is enc of the very rare instances where the creator of a very great railroad properties found in his son a worthy suc- cessor Commodore Vanderbilt placed ut most confidence in his son, William H. Vanderbilt, and in the opinion of all who were men of finance or railway owners or operators William H. Vanderbilt fully Justifie5 this confidence. So also Will liam K. Vanderbilt who is at present the central authority of the New York Gen. tral system, maintains the responsibl- ltIes which involved upon him. After William K. Vanderbilt has completed this service it is presumed that the New York Central Railroad company must look to others than those of the Wander bilt rame for the direction of the prop- erty.
 c. r. Huntington, who. in the opinion Gf men competent to judge, was the only railroad builder of the United States qualified to stand exactly upon a level with James J. Hill-had no son, not even any near kin, to whom the great heritage of the Southern Pacific could be trans ferred The Huntington interests are very large. but they are conserved and directed by able men who command large salaries, but who are not of the Huntington blood.
 The late H. H. Rogers, whose final achievement vas the building of a great railroad system. doing that with his own capital. beGueathed to his son those great interests. but the responsibility for the managemert of the property has been divided. Henry N. F1agler could not contemplate the passing of the responsi- bilities and the control of the great rail- road property he created to his son be- cause the sons taste and mental qualifi- cations impelled him to take up an en- tifely different pursuit.
 Louis W. Hill was his fathers confi- dant A recent statement made by him makes it clear that he is not only to maintain the railroad properties identi- fled by James J. Hills name and operate them as his father wished him to do, but he is also expanding these properties in line with the plans James J. Hill had in mind. Louis w. Hill will be in the youth of old age before the great expan- sion of the system. especially in the far northwest the great improvements and the highly perfected terminals which James J. Hill had in mind are completed.
 He could retire with an abundant for tune. He could live the life of ease. but those in New York who have recently seen him are persuaded that his sole ann btion will be gratified if there comes to him sense of achievement
 As his father was the creator of sys- tenn so great that he was termed an empire builder so, it is believed, the sor is animated solely by the desire to maintain and increase the achievements of his father.

LOUIS W. HILL IS WORTHY SUCCESSOR OF GREAT FATHER Given Place on Board of One of New YOrk's Great
 Banks FEW SONS ABLE TO
 TAKE UP BURDENS Although Country Has Several Ex- amples of Men Who Have Car
 ried on and Improved
 Fathers Work
By HOLLAND

New York June 1S.-(Special.)-- .)--With Gnanmity and in full recognition of the fact that Louis w. Hill is the heir not only of much of his fathers visible property, but also of the traditions which will always be associated with James J. Hill, the son was chosen a few days ago director of the First National bank of New fork city. He will take the place at the directors table which was made vacant when his father passed away.
 MT Hill is known better by reputation in the financial district than by personal contact or association. Since his fathers death, there have been many inquiries from those who would be glad to know whether the son can manage success fully the great properties and work identified by his fathers name
 Questions of this kind were asked when the late J. Pierpont Morgan died. His son, who succeeded the father as the head of the Morgan house, was known favorably, but it was sometimes said of him that his abilities had not been sub- jected to tests which, if they were met satisfactorily, would show that he was a worthy successor to his father It was frequently asked what would be the na- ture of the tests and the answer com monly was that they would be those which would reveal MT. Morgan's capac- ity for maintaining the prestige and tra- ditiCns of the Morgan house.
 Nobody dreamed that within a few months after the son succeeded his father there would be developed of a sudden and with something like cyclonic pressure extraordinary emergencies which it would require highly original methods to meet The senior Morgan's achievements were in many respects con- struetive. They were reflected in ade- quate railway organizations and the new departure which he took, or led, when the United States Steel corporation was organized. Work of this kind was sub- stantially completed when the senior Morgan died. It was presumed that the responsibilities which were upon his sor would involve chiefly conservatism of action.
 When out of the chaos in the United States which immediately followed the beginning of the European war MT Nor gan, in cordial cooperation with others whose counsel and aid he frankly ac- knowledged brought order then the an swer was given to the question: 'Is the son of J. Pierpont Morgan to reveal that he is able to maintain the heritage which came to him ?''

Mental Growth

M w. OShea in the July Mothers
 Magazine.
 What degree of intelligence should a normal child exhibit at different stages of development. A 10-months-old baby should extend his hand for his bottle when 1t is brought near him. He should respond brought.
 to his mothers greeting when she smiles into his face, or gurgles or coos to arouse his expressions. If he is hungry and his bottle is brought and he makes no effort to grasp it; or if he does not respond to his mothers expressions, then he is not advancing as rapidly as he should. In other words, he is not making the associations which are normal for a child of this age. He ought by this time to have learned a few familiar objects so that he will not act in the same way toward all of them. Suppose, for instance, you should have in your right hand a piece of wood, and in your left hand his bottle. If he is hungry, he ought to grasp for his bottle instead of the wood. If he does grasp for the latter, and attempts to satisfy his hunger with it, he is re- tarded in his mental development. One can make a number of tests like this on 10 or 12-months-old child. If he responds in the same way to book held before his eyes that he does to his mothers face, he is not developing normally.
 If his range of adaptation does not in- crease at any time then his development Is stopped. If he. falls downstairs when he is year old, he is not developing properly. If an 1S-months-old child touches a stove and is burned five times, and proceeds to touch it the sixth time he is not developing as he should, his brain is not establishing connections among his experiences. At IS months associations of the type mentioned are established very quickly in the normal child's brain
