NEW YORK, March Son Sew
enth avenue north of the Pennsyl-
vania station is Second Hand
Row." For several blocks the ar
/ chitectural progress of the city has
halted leaving q row of low dilapi-
dated buildings given over to the
sale Of cheap secondhand clothing
and what-not. Squat men Of fiorid
| face-the bush beaters of trade
stand in the gas-lit doorways shout
ing bargains in cultural sing song
cadences.
Great stocks of shoes, hung like
bananas, suspended from awnings,
and tables on the sidewalk are piled
mountain high with disordered and
soiled castoff clothing. 1t is a pic
turesque district where bargaining
becomes a mad pickering and no
sale is made without a quarrel, with
the salesman retreating into his
shop with: Take it, Take II! You're
running my business but 1 must
live" His aggrieved manner means
that he has made a sharp bargain
A few of the places are said to be
| "fences'-where thieves loot is
cached and plain clothes men are
always in sight: but most of the
places are conducted by Bowery
peddlers who made their little stake
and decided to get into business on
their own. Many have graduated
from Secondhand Row" into high
grade shops. The part owner, in
one of New York's largest depart
ment stores started in Second Hand
Row."
There are really many bargains
to be found there IL one knows how
to purchase. Actors at liberty and
needing a fur coat to enhance their
boasting along the Broadway curb
invariably go to Second Hand
Row." Young men who wish to
shine at some special gathering
also find bargains in dress suits
and tuxedoes.
At the northern edge of the Row
are a group of little tailor shops
which draw their trade from the
secondhand shops. 1t is their busi-
ness to fashion the CASTOR clothes
into the latest Fifth avenue and
Broadway styles. Some of the ef-
fects they secure are quite marvel

If one Is in q hurry IL is only
possible to pass the Row by hold
ing the head high and wearing q
scornful expression. The slightest
| glance at any article will bring out
the proprietors or ''pullers in" and
they are SO ingratiating in their ap-
peal "just to look" that 1t Is almost
impossible to resist.

cal joker in phoning q friend. know

for Mr.. Fish or Mr.. Bear is not
dead. The head keeper at the
Bronx Zoo reports that he receives
an average of fve inquiries q day
for Mr.. Lion. Mr.. Bear or Mr.. Fox.
Down at the Aquarium 1t is just as

I Notice Thnt--

The Forbush Ice and Coal company
which Is coached by A. D. Forbush has
installed clock on the front end of
their or his new bungalow office where
the big chunk of coal was before the
flood came alnog and washed off the
paint and turned the whole mess into
slack
A. D. is sort of proud of that clock
and has it all Lit up with electricity
like an intoxicated nose following a
raid on a bootlegger's hip pocket. But
Art Allen is sort of skeptical of A. d. 9
business foresight. He thinks A. D..
ought to have the clock on the inside
of the house SO A. d. and his assist
ant A. DIS won't be running out on the
sidewalk to see if it is dinner time. or
the end of perfect day when it is
necessary to rush home and carry in
a couple of buckets of Forbush fuel.
But what I started out to say about
that clock. is that 1t has caused little
difficulty with the Santa Fe railroad.

REALTORS CONSIDER
new STREET NAMES
DR.. Wallace Explains His Plan
Insurance Commissioner
Squabble Aired


A talk was given by DIR. r. e. Wal
lace at the weekly meeting of the
Real Estate exchange yesterday noon
favoring the proposed changing of
Pueblo street names. Under DR.. Wal
lace's plan most of the streets of the
city running north and south would be
renamed and given titles in alphabet
cal order, while those running east and
west would retain their present names
north of First, and those south Of
First would be numbered in the same
order with, avenue attached instead
of street.
A motion was passed by the ex-
change authorizing the selection of a
committee to work in conjunction with
similar committees from other organi-
cations to secure adequate street
markers, and decision was reached
to request immediate action by the
city commissioners on the matter.
A talk by G. Z. Diamond, represent
ing the insurance men of the city was
heard regarding the case of Earl Will
son, the deposed state insurance COM
missioner. Wilson a former Puebloan.

agents, it was said in the effort to Sc
cure a hearing from the civil service

The Santa Fe roundhouse is west OF

can't see the clock and regulate his
whistle. 1t is necessary, therefore. to
send a switch engine and crew to the
Union avenue crossing, get the correct
Forbush time and rush back to the
round house with it, whereupon. the
commencement or cessation whistle
toots.
H. A. Tice. superintendent OF the
Santa Fe, says this takes too much
time and is expensive and therefore is
about to suggest that Forbush put a
duplicate clock on the west gable OF
the bungalow office and the whistle
blower will be equipped with a field
glass and he can then save much time
and expense in the blowing whistle

The Kiwanis club Is to hold spe-

Each member of the club is urged 70
be present with a definite report OF

for the facts disclosed by these reports
will determine the course to be fol-
lowed during the remainder or the
campaign.
AS very few canvassers have as yet
reported, it is impossible to even
hazard a guess as to the progress OF
the campaign but the infrequency Win
which Red Cross buttons are worn ana
Red Cross flags displayed in windows
indicate that the public is not properly
supporting the campaign. Only the ioi-
lowing business houses and industries
have as yet qualified for the 100 per
