Drug stores and hospitals throughout
New York will be without prescription

pharmacists OF the United Drug
Clerks, Local 1926, affiliated with the
Retail Clerks international Protective

tion Of Labor, carry out their threat to
quit unless their demands for 40 per
cent increase in pay, an eight-hour day,

granted.
The strike will be called early to-
morrow morning, union leaders said.
They promised that in case of an cpl
demic the clerks would stick to their
posts in order not to put thousands of
lives in jeopardy. Should the strike
materialize it will mean the closing
down of the prescription departments
of drug stores and hospitals, as it will
be impossible to obtain strikebreakers
Union leaders said that in event of a
strike revelations" of a sensational
nature, showing methods and opera
tions Of drug store proprietors, would
be made.
by William Golden, member of the
board of directors and chairman of the
grievance committee Of the United

''The average clerk works fourteen
hours a day. He receives, on an aver

introduced in the Legislature to have
our hours reduced, but always without
success. We demand that the regis

Ciue a Thought to
Theatre Alley

L'A6s away from Times Square, The
atre Alley lies forsaken and neg
lected in the business district south of
City Hall. But in the old days, it was
the heart Of the theatrical center. The
Nassau Street Theatre, opened in 1850,
was the first playhouse erected in New
York. AT Beekman and Nassau Streets
stood theatre erected by David Doug
las in 1861. The John Street Theatre
was another of the famous playhouses
standing near Theatre Alley.
To-day the street, hemmed in by
large buildings, does not get much light
even at noon. The northern end is
quite dark, being covered by snoring
structure that has been erected to sup
port the walls of one Of the older
houses. Since the sewerage system is
inadequate, rain water that runs snco
the street remains in the many holes
and ruts for long periods.
Food is being delivered daily to the
several restaurants on Nassau Street
and Park Row that have their delivery
entrances on the Alley and the most
sanitary conditions are desired. But to
attain these in the little street as it
now stands seems almost impossible.
Street cleaners are right on the job.
But their efforts are of little avail. Re-
paving and better sewerage, particular
ly near Bcekman Street, are needed
to keep the street drained.

MORRIS PLAINS, N. j., Aug. 3O.-
There are circuses and circuses, from
pretentious Barnum and Bailey shows
to the little county fair, but brand
new variety came ipto being here yes
terday that seemed q vindication Of the
sanity of the man who coined the
phrase that genius is mad"
1t was a circus that brought tears to
the eyes as we'll as laughter to the
lips of those who watched it. The
-Four Ding" circus, as it was called,
was the triumphant episode of the
grand annual field day of the New Jer-
sey State Hospital, held on the athletic
field at Greystone Park. Every actor,
from the educated orang-outang to the
clown, was an inmate Of the institution
and the victim of some phase Of insan-
ity or mental deficiency.
Every scrap of stage property, from
the frill around the clowns neck to the
snakes charmed by "Rosatina," was pro-
duced at home and represented the in
dustry and the ingenuity Of the pa
performers throughout, and for sheer
funniness and originality they would
be hard to beat as entertainers.
Each Chose Own Role
Absolute freedom was given them in
choosing their own roles. 1t was
every one to his fancy, and strange was
the outcropping of whimsical and er-
ratio bent. The man who imagines
himself king and establishes a court
wherever he goes sported around
adorned with tin crown that sug-
gested Old King Cole. The man who
recited "Ostler jim" until it got on
his nerves and became a dangerous
obsession rode AROUND as jockey on
an Imaginary horse. The inmate
"haunted with devils" did himself up
in the scarlet guise of Mephistopheles S
and felt happy about it,
The circus was put on in the fine
athletic field of Greystone Park,
flanked with the hospital buildings and
rows of shady trees. All the seats in
the grandstand were reserved for in
mates Of the institution and, in addi-
ton, some three thousand spectators
from all parts of the state witnessed
the affair. The hospital band fur
nlshed the music and Everett Fisher

Squadron, looped the loop and ner.
