New York. - The heroism of always
being ready to say "Num-ber-r" does
mt strike most of us until some dra-
matte moment when we have it ground
into our minds. But the New York
Telephone Company has come to the
front to give recognition to it, with a
system of medals and cash rewards
for distinguished devotion to duty.
Hardly day passes, its officials de-
clare, without an individual case of
such devotion that partakes of the
heroic. Aside from fires, burglars and
all the other crises that the occasion
ally humanity exasperating hello girls
come through with justic to whatever
heroes gave them an inheritance,
there are the everyday things such as
storms. One New York man tells on
himself the story of the time in a bliz-
card when he stopped young girl on
the way to the elevated to tell her that
she couldn't get thorugh to town and
would better turn homewards. "Oh,
no." she replied cheerily, "I'm tele-
phone girl, I've got to get down so you
can phone your Office that you can't"
Delicatessens, says Judge Jean Nor
ris, of the Domestic Court, are the
most prolific cause of divorce. Not
drink, nor prohibition, nor poverty.
nor clubs, nor suffrage, nor any of the
other much argued matters of life,
but just plain delicatessens, this wo-
man who has heard more family trou-
bles than has probably anyone else in
this city of troubles, puts at the head
Of the home breaking causes. One
mans question to her, she believes, is
typical of whole job lots of cases.
Now l ask yer, yer honor" he said,
how would YOU like to come home
night after night from a hard days
work to a supper of cold potato salad
and sardines?"

Has the removal or cure Of remed-
liable defects in school children had
the great beneficial effects that were
expected? Nobody knows; for both
time and follow-up methods have been
lackingf. Now, however, the U. S. Pub

parts of the country followed up for
some years to learn how greatly they

struck me with something of shock,
in consequence, when | heard re-
port at the Y. M. c. A. headquarters
here of the job its workers are car
rying on now nthe devastated regions
of Eastern Europe. In the most desc
late districts of Poland, the Grey Sa-
maritans are helping to keep life in
the bodies and spirit of an almost
hopeless people. They are girls who
are American citizens of Polish orr
gin, sent over by the Y. w. C. A., who
are particularly successful in acting
as liiaison between the needs of the
people there and the American author
tiles. All of them can talk Polish;
many were old enough when they mi
grated to remember the land of their
birth. Christine Zduleczna, Of Pitts
burgh. is one of these girls, and she is
typical. She is working in Kovel, a
wretched howell of town, worse than
anything Tolstoi has described. 1t is

depths. And here" writer Conings-

The Prince de Bourbon is adding
more confusion to New York society
than did the scion of British nobility
who recently dined and danced in our
midst. Just now he is the lion of the
Manhattan colony at Palm Beach, and
the particuarists are writing letters
t the New York papers to explain he
isn't a prince at all in Spain but only
third cousin to the King and oughtnt
to be spoken to or Of as anything but
mister. However he dashes on and
seems to be entirely pardoned by
those who get near to Sc him dash,
for any lack of closer relation to the
throne
But princes or no primes the onward
sweep of Democracy continues to
sweep. There were good many thou
sands of Obs and alas!es when ten
cent store opened on "The Avenue"
and now has come the first of the
Observation-Disclosures restaur-
ants to encroach upon that real"
Fifth Avenue-above 23rd street. The
discouraging thing to the collector is
that these economic symbols seem to
get patronage there as elsewhere.
The scenic articts are planning to
prove how much more than Local No.
S29, they really are. In order to DEM
onstrate that their art is real art,
they are going to erect a new $4,000

there will be class rooms and classes;

! Roofs and outlines of farm buildings
are visible, but lost to sense in the
competing humanism this side of the
barriers.
The scattered situation of the vari-
Gus farm buildings and yards about
the ordinary farm house, often at
every angle, produces the serious diff
culties of the detaching process.
George Washington, the farmer, dis
posed his barns, Outbuildings, yards
and gardens, at the wings of his Mount
Vernon house. The rear was left
open and free for stretching lawn,
sky above, tall tree foliage at sides,
sky at end of vista, meadow land
dropping out Of sight. The front was
'laid down handsomely in grass" as
George Washington described the
lawn; while the Potomac river, a real
moving picture, ran among the oaks on
the river bank.
