tinuously, and got in ninety shots

This submarine. as described by Eek

spreading information concerning the

travel from here to the moon. or how
many drunkards, laid end to end would
reach from Kansas City to Helena,

before the public:
every day 1850, 900 people intrust
themselves to the subway's cars.
"A subway car makes about thirty
five miles IN one round trip.
"A ten-car subway train has from
seven to ten motor cars.

Poet Shonts s Spring Offering,
'HdBoxes, bDeZ1cateZy Wrought

Every once in SO often, the cosmic
urge, or divine atllatus, or whatever it
is that grips great artists and drives
thom to their work, seizes upon T. P.
Shonts, the underground Macaulay, and
few hours later another essay on
the subway drifts into the newspaper
Offices.
In the past Mr.. ~Shonts has usually
sought pretext for his literary out
pouring and has generally inclosed a
letter from some outraged victim of
the subway as an excuse for his prose
poem. This time there isn't any cx-
cuse. Probably the spring has entered
Mr.. Shonts's veins, for he smote his
sounding typewriter yesterday and
sang, for the pure JOY Of singing, a saga
of the subway.
1t must be the spring. for here and
there in the impassioned prose one
catches the Tilt Of free verse lyric
Remove the prose form, and straight
way some of the Shontsian lines re-
solve themselves into vers libre that
would make Greenwich Village proud

Chance for Mayor Hylan

some of his admiration for Mr. Hearst

gain much valuable wisdom thereby,
