NEW YORK, Sept. l5.-Thoughts
while strolling around New York:
Sunny skies. A day for play.
There's something impressive about
a church spire. Fifth avenue pa
rading to tea. Aristocratic feet.
Delicately chiseled ankles. Super
animated clubmen with veined
hands deep in leather arm chairs.
That looks like Gloria Swanson in
a brougham.
\ Entrance to the Central Park
bride path. Caracoling chargers
anxious to go. White cord breeches.
Rust-red sweaters. superbly cut
boots. Flashing spurs. Venerable
toy balloon hawkers trailing white
capped nurses. I stepped on that
lady's foot. Wonder IL she sees my
ears flushing red.
Vincent Astor going home. And
there's Ebert Gary in a motah-
car! Wish that doorman at the
Plaza would bow to me. for there
goes my tailor. Columbus Circle
Lots of the gambling houses
iOdhu hSIC nNCH eyes
in eagle faces. Whatever became
of Jack Rose.
Seems to be more activity along
Automobile Row. All the statesmen
are Beau Brummels. Boys rolling
tires. Broadway's only tree-below
Fifty-ninth STREETS losing its
leaves. Pedestrians shouting un-
der the rumbling elevated. Ice
cream soda cents glass.
That's the pepper!
The decoys are climbing into the
yap wagons. Henry Hobert and
George Arliss promenading the
Rialto. That woman is ablaze with
diamonds. Probably bootleg
queen. The few cabarets, closed
for the summer, are opening for
the autumn season. Looks like a
tough winter for them. The Times
has new electric sign and the
building is all freshly scrubbed. 1t
ought to become famous. 1t once
refused to give me a job.
1t is an old custom for central
office men to be stationed near the
various news stands around New
York selling papers from all cities.
The theory is that the criminal,
craving news from his home town.
viii eventually call. But the
crooks have learned of this and
now they send messenger boys.
The detectives in turn are follow
ing the messenger boys and three
criminals were nabbed last week.
A New York magazine editor
tells me that in his opinion people
nf a1r
nction-save the mystery story. 1t
is his belief that people want to be
thrilled, and il is noticeable that
the thriller is remaining long at
Broadway playhouses. One maga-
zine has dropped all stories of sue
cess and how-to-get-on. Arnold
Bennett once observed Of a certain
honeyed magazine published in
America that 1t was a monthly as
surance that all was right with the
world.
Rents are not going up, although
the landlords made one last des-
perate effort to gouge renters. In
one walk of ten blocks 1 found
fourteen vacant apartments, rang
ing from two rooms to six rooms
In several cases signs were out
stating that reduced rentals would
be in effect at once. Brooklyn has
any number of apartments for rent.
The cooperative apartment house
plan is finding many investors. In
the artistic colony on West Sixty
seventh street there are six Coop
eratiye apartment buildings where
each tenant owns his apartment
The Cafe des Artistes is in the
midrift of this colony and nearly
all of the magazine cover men and
illustrators live in the neighbor-
hood.

Restless People DO Not Build Cities

THE races which bear within them the
4 seeds of unrest are tent dweliers. They,
like Bedouins and Gypses, build camps, never
cities.
The modern city that is inhabited by transients
wanderers, will inevitably grow smaller
and poorer after reaching its peak of success.
In order to hold families within its gates so
that it may grow and prosper, the city must
give them desirable home.
To Tulsans who want to help our city and
themselves we offer the opportunity to in
crease and strengthen Tulsa's home popula-
ton, in the form Of Real Estate Savings Bonds
and City Mortgages on Tulsa property that
make home building possible.
Six per cent Real Estate Savings Bonds,
secured by First Mortgages, cen be bought in
amounts as low as $50. Eight per cent City
Mortgages, l, 2, ;, 4-year paper, as low as
$500, with interest semi-annually.'
May we discuss with you in our investment de-
partment Of the Trust company the advan-
tages of investing money in Tulsa securities?

Home endorsement is the kind that

timony is convincing. Investigation
proves it true. Below is a statement
OF Shepherdstown resident. No
stronger proof Of merit can be had.

The growing demand for good roads
In the South has provoked conside r
able discussion as to the cheapest and
most durable types of pavement.
Statistics show that for hard surfaced
roads the asphaltic types are in great
est general use. Tho popularity of
these types, especially those Of the
sheet asphalt, the asphaltic concrete
and asphaltic macadam, Is due to their
long wearing qualities, resiliency
against traff1c impact, dustlessness,
noiselessness, cleanliness and low cost
Of upkeep. Brick and concrete roads
have also developed as have the
wooden block and granite block types.
The most recent available figures give
42.11 per cent Of the surface roads In
the United States as being OF gravel,
1922 per cent as macadam, 1716 per
cent sand-clay, 1898 per cent asphalt
and other bituminous materials, 391
per cent concrete and 0.62 per cent
brick. The figures for the asphaltic
and brick types,-a total of 1888 per
cent show the extent to which city
types OF pavement have been adopted
III the rural districts.
The types most favored In the cities
not only for paved streets but for i'm.
proved roads, included not only the
aspha:ic types but those of brick and
macadam. Brick is highly desirable
but more costly than some types
Ma cIdam is a satisfactory type wien
combined with an asphalt binder which
makes the road dustless and prevents
ravelling. 1t costs but little more than
the old type Of macadam since the cost
o. sprinkling with water is eliminated
Portland cement concrete Is not re.
silent but 1t forms an excellent foun.
dation for the resilient surfaces. When
used with an asphalt filler brick Is

an average life ranging from 20 to d
years and foundations. II thus pro-

the base need not be 30 thick, thus

HOG CHOLERA CAN
BE PREVENTED

The prevalence Of hog cholera is
not only unnecessary but is due to poor
management and lack of cooperation
among owners of hogs. This Is the
opinion of Prof. J. C. Logan Of the
Department of Agriculture IN the
Southeast Missouri State College. Mr..
Logan is an expert in methods of chol-
era prevention and spent a part of
last week working with County Agent
Hensley of New Madrid county in
demonstrating methods of hog cholera
vaccination. He finds that this dis
ease is pretty we'll controlled through
out Southeast Missouri. He says,
however, that all owners of herds
should vaccinate whenever there is
possibility of a spread of the disease.
Owners should not wait until the dis
case appears in their herds before vac
cinating. Mr.. Logan is keenly inter-
ested in stamping out hog cholera
throughout Southeast Missouri. He
will work with all the county agents
of this section to this end whenever
they call on him.

elected president of the association,
which is to be financed by a prelim-
mary assessment Of So for each man
employed. If strike occurs other
means will be provided for raising
money, if any is needed.
The employers realize they have
reached the last ditch. If they should
consent to the 44-hour week, they are
faced with the statement that SIX
hour day is to follow.
1t is far better to close up the shop
while the closing is good than to have
the sheriff's lock put upon it. With
the high cost of all printing material,
and labor, it looks like riding a good
thing to death to ask for shorter
work day on full pay.
Not all of us can stand it, and most
of us don't purpose doing so.-Byron
Times.
Incidentally, all other business is in
the same boat with the printers. 1t
can stand no more in the way of hold
up policies, reduced efficiency and less
work for more and more pay.

EXTENDING STATE
PATERNALISM

A proposition to care for all per-
sons injured in automobile accidents
by the state under the accident insur-
ance department is the latest.
This extension of insurance pater-
nalism would make places for sources
of new officials and would in the end
require state hospitals.
Compensation for injuries to speed
ers and reckless and incompetent
drivers of cars would open a wide
field for exploiting the taxpayers.
Extending the salutary principles
of the workmen's compensation law
to pleasure seekers and joyriders
shows a broad sweep of socialism.
Persons injured would get medical
attendance, hospital care, sick bene-
fits of two-thirds of their salary, and
lump sum in case of death.
The extension of the principle to
flying machines and fast motorboats
and motorcycles and power bicycles
would Of course follow.

BOLSHEvIKI

We like to think of Bolshevists
AS unwashed, ragged creatures,
With savage look and fearful scowl
Upon their evil features.
We picture them with teeth which
CLEAN
Through hirsute growth fantastic,
And armed with pistol, bomb and knife
Equipped for action drastic.
But not all Bolshevi9ts, | think,
Are armed with gun or saber
And live in Russia-it may be
You have one for neighbor!
And though we hope these persons all
Are far across the foam,
It's possible that there are some
, A great deal nearer home.
Too often, in our thoughtlessness
We act like Bolsheviki
And disregard our country's laws
In sundry ways-and tricky.
We race our autos through the streets,
And speed them something awful,
We scarcely seem to realize
That this act is unlawful.
Amendment Eighteen has become
Part of our Constitution,
Yet violators every day
Go without prosecution.
We aim to be good citizens,
But if we want to show it,
Let's stand together for the law
And everyone will know it.
It's the welfare of the many
Versus hardships for the few.
That's the lesson law and order
Try to bring to me and you,
And if we sometimes feel our lot
Is getting hard to bear,
Let's pack up and go to Russia--
There's no law and order there!
Riley Ryck.
