Gilroy Offers His
Policies to Test of
Forum Audience
Sub,Nits TO Brisk Heckli1lg
That Drives His Mother
TO Shelter of Car; Hylan
Conduct of Piers Scored

Vincent Gilroy. coalition candidate
for President of the Board of Alder
men, faced a critical and argumentative
audience last night at the Community
Forum, Park Avenue and Thirty fourth
Street, before he went to the coalition
rally at Cooper Union.
For two hours Mr.. Gilroy withstood
hecklers and heard the campaign issues
and his own position taken up and
audience.
Mr.. Gilroy said that the greatest
tragedy of the Hylan administration
was the driving of American ships
from the Port of New York because of
the mysterious form Of graft that let
the piers go to those who could bid
high for them. He pointed out the in
consistency OF Mayor Hylan's excuse
for the lack Of schools by saying that
although the Mayor blamed the war
for the failure to build in 1920, there
had been three schools put up in 1918
and four in 1919. Then, after erecting
fourteen in 1921 he had held back the
openings until his campaign for re-
election began.
In answer to questions propoundcd
Mr.. Gilroy said that during his year
in the Assembly he bad voted for seven
1l-ACiiVlltHlS " tiit 'CIGbc CONSTITUTION,
one of which was to permit New York
City to frame its own charter had in
troduced the bill establishing the ter
minal markets. opposed the New York
Central franchise plan on Riverside
Drive and opposed the Gary system
for the schools as not suitable to New
York.
AS legal adviser to the unions dur
ing the harbor strike he had induced
them to lighter coal to Manhattan, he
said, to keep the subways running.
During Mr. Gilroy's speech his
mother, seated in the audience, became
annoyed at the persistent interruptions
of man seated in front of her, and
sought refuge in the candidates. ca,
outside, although her son smilingll
explained to her that such things were
ali in the nights work at political
meetings.

"Two things in this campaign" she

the cause Of the children, crying for
more schools, cry that cannot but be

And we owe them not only schools but

we must all be, OF we will never get

make up his or her mind that unless
the right kind of people arc at the
head there can be no good government.
Il am reminded that when my
brother returned from the African
jungle in 1910 he came back by way
of England and was invited to family
luncheon with King George, who had

his woolly dog, Happy, in to be seen

this way and that way. Reddy was
hunting. Peter had been hunted too
often by him to make any mistake
on that.
Peters first thought was that Reddy
was hunting for him. Then he re-
membered that Reddy didn't know he
was over there in the swamp. He
was Just hunting for anybody or any
thing he could find. Then right on
the heels of that thought came the
thought of the young Heron held fast
in the trap. Could it be that Reddy
had heard about it? A sharp look at
Reddy decided Peter that Reddy
hadn't heard about the young Heron.
HE has just happened over here
in the swamp this morning." thought
Peter. There isn't anybody in par
ticular on his mind. Oh. dear, what
for? Why couldn't he have gone
somewhere else this morning? He is
heading right over this way now and
if he keeps on he will be sure to find
that young Heron. Mrs. Longlegs has
gone fishing and there isn't anybody
f. f. s1v do teing enSa da 1h aast On
And then all in fash an idea
came to him. If Reddy should dis
cover him it might be that he could
lead Reddy away from that part of
the swamp, Peter thought hard and
1aSt. he was trying 10 tHlnh VI q
place of safety should Reddy chase
him. At last he thought of a certain
old log that was partly hollow with
an opening at one end just big enough
for him to get through. but too small
for Reddy to get his head through.
1t lay over on the other side of the
swamp. Could he get there before
Reddy could catch him? He would
have to run his very best to- do 1t.
And he might not be able to do 1t
even then.
1t was a great risk. If he sat still
where he was hidden under the ferns
the chances were that Reddy would
not find him at all. He would find
the helpless young Heron and then
he would have no thought for any
body else. Why should he. Peter,
risk his life for one who probably
wouldn't even thank him. The fact
is he probably wouldn't even know
what Peter had done.
Shame said something inside
Peter. Shame on you" Peter slipped
swiftly away under the ferns and
headed so as to cross right in front
of Reddy Fox. And as he ran it came
to him that he was going to help
after all; and he was glad.

he called upon Mrs. Dewey. and ne
certainly is fine fellow. l hope ne
has lot of good luck when he gets
to be king. But l was telling about
Lafayette. What 1 read about La
fayette reminds me of David OF
Windsor. that is the name like best
The marquis went to the aid of the
colonies and yet he was from a great
family in France who cared little or
nothing about poor folks and the col
onies. He bought ship and loaded
it with ammunition when he was
Just a young man. Then the king
stopped him and he had to make MS
escape to get to his boat in Spain
and then to America.
Those are the kind of boys that
get somewhere. Washington took a
liking to Lafayette right away. and be-
fore the war was over Lafayette was a
general Years and years afterward he
made a tour of this country and the
people gave him welcome that was
a dandy, so the books say. He was
born in 1857, SO you see he was only
twenty years old when he started his
big adventure of sailing away to the
colonies. Read everything you can
find about Lafayette.
What he is thought of in this coun-
try is shown by the number OF towns
named for him. Then there is La
fayette college, and every big city has
a Lafayette street. I guess. There
are some more things in Lafayette
Park I will write about.

CHILDREN'S CLOTHES STILL
TO BE SHORT AND STRAIGHT
BY ANNE RTTTENHOUsE.

Little girls clothes have been
closely paralleling adult clothes for
several seasons. We could no longer
find SO much to marvel at as we used
to in velasquez's paintings of the
Spanish infantas-four-year- in
ballooning skirts. held out on iron
hoops, long. pointed stomachers and
choking ruffs and collars. The mar
vel was that these styles were worn
at all. We have recently dressed our
own children very much as we dress
ed ourselves, SO why should we be
surprised at those Spanish ladies Of
old?
Now we may be on the threshold
of a period when little girls clothes
no longer follow in the same groove
as women's. But it will be because
the women's clothes are changing in
line and silhouette rather than that
any great change has come in the
mode Of little girls.
Women's skirts are gradually but
surely growing longer, while there
is no indication of an increased
length in little girls skirts. Skirts
are becoming wider and in some
cases ballooning out at the hips, but
this tendency is almost never reflect
straight line. fatly trimmed frock
and jacket remain the selection for
girls under twelve.
For girls under twelve the frock
that shows bloomers under a short
skirted smock is the choice of many
mothers. This makes quite distinct
ly the mode of children SO attired
from those who are dressed in skirts
and petticoats.
Some of the new bloomer frocks
are called pantalette frocks. though
they are not at all suggestive of
the pantalettes Of white muslin edged
with lace and tucks that were the
bugbear of little girls of the Second
Empire. They are usually dark
cuffs that are trimmed. The skirts
over these bloomers are slit at the
side to show the boomers and to
permit of freer action. Sometimes
there is interesting lacing or strap
pings at these side slashes.
borrow from the styles of their elders
and that is in sleeve treatment. There
are the same close fitting armholes
and set-in sleeves in many of the
frocks designed for autumn and win
ter. and the same three-quarter or
full-length sleeve showing the WIDEN
ing at the armhele Obviously the
sleeve hanging down from a deep
armhole is a poor selection for the
little girl. 1t is difficult enough for
an adult to manage such sleeve to
advantage. when we have become ac-
customed to the freedom and lack of
constraint Of the short sleeve for all
occasions.
Navy blue is still the best selection
for little girls outdoor clothes when
warm weather permits and something
durable is desired. There are many
ways Of adding color and novelty e

Dear Juniors: There has never
been a time when 1 could not read
about Lafayette. He certainly was
a man we boys should read about.
and also about how he helped this
country. This statue to him is in
Lafayette Park. and it is right across
the street from the United States
Treasury that handles millions OF
dollars every day. But when Lafa-
yette came to this country's aid he
had to borrow money from his bank
ers to help the colonies along. You
remember what they said Pershing
said when he got to Paris: Lafayette.
we are here" I do not know whether
Pershing said it or not, but we were
certainly due because of what La
xAyette did for US. 1t seems strange
70 think that this country was ever
- poor It's soldiers could not eat half
the time. as was true in the revolu-
ton, and now the statue of the man
who helped is right across from that
great big treasury of this great big
country.
Lafayette had a terribly long name
to live up to and here it is: Marie
Jean Paul Roch Yves Gilbert Motier.
Marquis de La Fayette. / guess they
named children for all their uncles
and aunts in those days. just as some
people do nowadays. You know the
name of the Prince of Wales goes this
way: His Royal Highness Edward
Albert Christian George Andrew Pat
rick David. of Windsor. Prince of
Wales. And he is prince. too. in

method is to dissolve one cake in a
couple of tab1espoonfuls Of water and
to swallow it down, and il you don't
like its taste to drink little water
Immediately afterward.- It might be
pleasanter to dissolve the yeast in a
little fruit juice. Some people say
they would rather spread the com
pressed cake as they purchase it on a
cracker and eat it, but If you don't
like its taste you won't like this
lengthy process. AS a matter OF fact.
If you let the dissolved yeast stay
in water half an hour or SO it tastes
a little like wine. though am quite
sure 1t has not developed any alcohol.

up the habit of blushing If you take
a long and deep breath as soon as you
feel yourself about to blush. This
exercise destroys the cause. which is
self-consciousness; as the mind is
focused on the breathing, which not
only relieves this sensitiveness, but
floods the whole circulation with
oxygen. This clears the mind and res
stores the poise. which is disturbed
during the process OF blushinS.
