NEW YORK. July 4.-Manhat-
tan's population, likean omniyorous
crew, leeds and fattens on Amerl-
can village and hamlet. Just now
1000 chorus girls are in such a
hopeless financial state-actually
starving-that benefits are being
arranged for them. They came to
get away from a pan-washing,
porch existence and they
are too proud to go back.
You see them in. the evening
when the church bells are tolling
the vesperal hour service coming
| out of their shabby lodgings In the
/ Times Square district. There are
eyes red from all day weeping. Run
over shoes, pathetic little refur-
| furnished frocks and hats of last
years vintage tell the story OF the
hopeless quest for work.
Social workers say that many
are becoming the prey of hawk
| eyed cadets who scour the Tender
loin eternally in search Of the pref
ty face. They do not go the dreary
rounds Of the theatrical agencies
for at the door of nearly every one
is the depressing sign: mo stage
applicants needed"
Up and down Broadway they
tramp in little pairs and little
groups. looking at the display O:
cheap jewelry, the lingerie windows
and other wares that. symbolic the
Great White Way. Nearly every
morning the first pages tell of a
leap off the dock, an overdose OF
some lethal potion or some other
method employed by bruised and
scared souls to escape the realities.
The other day at one of the great
railroad terminals two young girls
awaited the announcement of a
western train. With their cheap
little handbags they entered the
gates and walked to the train steps.
One suddenly turned to the other
\ and said: I'm not going back.
They will only laugh at US" And
they turned about suddenly and
Ned.
We used to laugh at the senti-
ment expressed in the home-and-
gray-haired motherlight- burning
/ Iin-the-window ballads. They were
not so far-fetched as we might
imagine. Most of these girls came
from good homes afire with ambI-
ton. Back to the villages ana
hamlets go letters telling of their
success-letters that are mailed
with pennies that the senders ac-
tually need to stay the ravages of
hunger The only balm is that in
New York one may hide one pow
orty and failure. New York notices
only success and the failures have
no fear Of prying eyes and gossip
ing tongues.

AFTER DRAWING ACES

AFTER DRAWING ACES.
Once there was a poker game.
II was a very ordinary one II
ended In a fght. One of the players
landed in the hospital TO get
sewed up.
John A Mcclure was one Of the
players. He was playing with John
F. Campbell, at the latters house
Campbell said he opened the pot
with a pair of aces. His partner
bet 80 cents. II wasn't long before
there was $40 in the pot
Mcclure made a grab for the pot.
Tick yore hands ofIa that pot
Campbell ordered. -Lemme me see
wot kyards yo' got afore 20 touches
that money.
Soon afterward Mcclure went 90
the hospital. The doctor put nvs
stitches in his jaw where Campbells
fist had landed.
He cum at me with his head down
lax a bull" Campbell explained 10
Judge McMahon. He struck ms
onct and then hit him back"
He got sore cause ] won the
money" said Mcclure. ''and then he
banged me in the jaw for nothrn-
The court ended the controversy
by fning Campbell $40.

CLU-HOMELESS AGAIN.
It was not until she was climbing
into the taxi and the driver asked
where to. IadyT" that Nancy re-
allied that she had nowhere tp go.
She had left the Stanleys without
saving good-by either to Connie
or 10 Curtis. Shortly after she had
retired to her room she had heard
heavy steps on the stairs and the
bang Of the street door closing; SO
she judged that Curtis had taken
himself on in a hum and was AL
ready hnding solace among the con-
yiyiaI habitues Of his club.
What Connie was doing: how she-
in her weakened condition, was rae
ing such An emotional crisis, Nancy
was too numbed to care
The whole situation was prepos-
ferrous. Nancy had a ridiculous de-
sire to laugh. She felt Ike tine
heroine of a melodrama being thrust
into the streets by a stern parent
or an trate husband. 1t lacked only
III. vhirling snow and the moaning
Of the wind to make a perfect stage
scene.
As II was, the breeze that blew
approaching spring. Despite the
chill in the air, there was the subtle
hint of unfolding buds and the fresh.
damn smell of earth. A full moon
swung over the houseroofs. and al
ready Young Love had climbed atop
the busses that numbered through
the park.
The taxi driver asked again:
where to, LADY,?
II don't know" said Nancy, abb
sentIy. and then noting his curious
expression she pulled herself to-
gether quickly
I've changed my mind / shan't
need you. Id rather walk
She opened her meshbag and re-
moved a bill.
This is for your trouble"
He nyuttered something which
could be interpreted as thanks,
looked at her curiously again, and
mounted the drivers seat
Nancy turned away abruptly. and
started down the street She had
gone a block or two before she be-
came aware of the fact that a mo-
tor car was following her at a dis
Greet distance. 1t was running along
on low speed and keeping close to
the curb.
She quickened her pace, and the
speed Of the motor was instantly
accelerated
She shrugged mentally and drop
ped back TO her former saunterins

Nancy sauntered over to the curb

Hairpin Flyer
MakesSun,mer er
Hours Cooler

A dandy experiment for boys
and, girls interested in model air
planes, and an article that is
equally as valuable and enter
tanning to those who just like
to monkey around" is an cas-
ily-made 'hairpin fyer."
The flyer is of very simple
construction. The body of the
machine consists of a light tin
tube about three inches long and
about as wide as a common bean
shooter.
Two propellers are made. They
are not large; in fact, they are
so small they may be made out
of a good-sized hairpin. This is
where the flyer gets its name.
Bend the propellers with one
side slanting one way. and the
other side the other way. just as
the real airplane propellers you
have seen are fashioned. Cover
the blades with thin, light paper.
Paste the paper around the wire.
Over the bit OF wire that ex-
tends from the propeller into
the tube (this is called the pro-
peller shafD slip a small glass
bead. 1t will serve as a bearing
and prevent the propeller from
rubbing against the sharp end
of the tube, which might prevent
the propeller from working
properly.
Connect the two propeller
shafts with strong rubber
band. This Is the engine of the
machine. and when It has been
installed the nyer is ready for
experimenting.
Twist the propellers In oppo-
site directions. Hold the tube
upright in the air and release
both propellers at the same
time.
II you have constructed the
machine and used light, strong
materials, the hairpin flyer will
ascend to a height that will sur
prise you.
Make one and see how sue
cessful an aeronaut you are.
