of New York
-HERE are to-day eAa1o,

THERE are to-day s4e,7s2
places In New York City
where food Is served-in
other words, eating places. II
you do not believe this, II Is q
very simple matter to count them
for yourself. BY the time you
get them counted you will be no
old that you will forget why you
are counting them.
When any other sort of bus,-
ness quits or moves out, an eat
ing place moves In.
They are not yet serving
luncheon In jewelry stores or
tombstone salesrooms, but thess
are expected to fall, soon.
There are nearly eighty DIFF
ferent varieties Of tea-rooms
among them being Hawaiian.
Japanese, Fiji, Liberian, Greek.
English, French, Russian, Can
adian, Australian, Samoan, Slam
ese, Chink, Indian, Belgian,
Spanish and Portuguese, all run
by Italians.
In one Of the cross streets
there are forty-seven eating
places in one block and II you
go to any one of them you will
realize that you could have done
better at any of the other forty
six.
Some Of these places actually
serve food, but most of tho
modern eating places serve
paper napkins, music, toothpicks,
jelly-wabbles, niger minstrels,
jazz, bathing beauties, new Fall
styles, cigarettes and revues.
The one article of food found
In all restaurants Is spaghetti.
Our own private statistician has
found that in New York 789,651
miles of spaghetti are served
daily, or enough to reach from
New York to Pittsburgh, follow
ing the line of the Erie railroad.
Few New York people eat In
the same place twice. This II
because naturally they refuse to
be stung. They would rather 90
somewhere else next time and
be stung harder.
New York men have q habit
of lunching down town and this

there from all over the country.
It took eighteen stenographers to
get down all the gossip, and then
they missed some from the small
ler towns.
Many new improvements In
the profession reported by dele
gates. Reported by committee on
eyebrows that gentlemen patron
izing barber shops are now hav-
ing their eyebrows plucked and
have become better customers for
tweezer artists than the girls.
To be stylish now man must
have his eyebrows in thin straight
line and must not hide his lamps
behind dense growth Of under
brush. Eyebrows Of President
Harding, Irwin Cobb, John j. Nc
Graw, Robert B. Mantell, Lloyd
George and the Smith Brothers
now declared to be out of style.
BARRIERS now getting to be ex-
pert pluckers. They never were
bad, as we recall them
Also modern tonsorlal artist
must be beauty parlor expert.
They must diagnose individual
cases and prescribe the proper
scented soap, perfumes, face
powders and toilet waters.
Committee on Wrinkles report
cd that new machine has been
invented, something like electric
flatiron. to iron wrinkles out Of
customers map. The wrinkles
stay out until next time customer
gets shaved. They make old men
young for q couple Of hours, the
effect lasting ono hour longer
than that Of goat gland installa-
ton.
When man gets out Of barber
chair now, according to commit
toes report, he Is liable to be
pinched by truant officers for
being absent from grammar
school
Greatest Improvement to be re-
ported during tho whole conven-
ton was outlined by the commit
tee on hair cuts. This committee
reported tho invention by Q New
York barber Of tho "Coms Again
Haircut" It works something
like this: Customer with long
locks climbs into tho chair and
demands perfectly good fifty
cent, non-skid haircut, and barber
gets very busy on the end knob.
He snips steadily for twenty min
utes, but (secret) he snips moth
ing but air. Air, not hair. Hem,
being a poor speller, leaves off
the "h".
Maybe he trims a little bit off
the edges. The trick Is combing
it. Customer gets out Of chair
thinking he is trimmed like a LIB
erty bond. He has to 60 to a
dinner party the next night.
When he combs his own hair,
he finds it is just as long as 1t
was before he got 1t cut and he
has to hurry to the barber shop
for another cutting. Man who
gets his hair cut three times =
week probably can keep out Of
the Flying Rollers, but II he lets
it go a week people will take him
for Premier Lloyd George or

CITY DESIRES CURB
 ON AIMS SEEKERS IN MIN TER MONTHS
Administration Powers to Find Employment For Able Bodied Migratory Beggars
 and Help Others

Birmingham was known last win ter as soft place for migratory vagrants, according to officials of the city welfare department, but will be quite different this winter. Ar rangements have been made for handling unemployed who drift into Birmingham from the north during the winter migratory season which will reduce considerably the number of vagrants. Those who can work be given jobs through the employ naent bureau. according to details an- nounced Tuesday by D. F. McLendon. president of the commission, and by F.. A. Culley, superintendent of the welfare department Those who can not work, which constitute a minor proportion of the vagrants, will be placed in almshouses.
 Last year, the city was swamped by people who came from the north 70 the south during the winter months. Originally headed for Mo- bile. Jacksonville. or other points south. where they had heard there were odd jobs available, the immi- grants decided after getting this far 10 locate" in Birmingham for the winter, according to welfare experts. They remained in Birmingham, it was said, because they found the peo- pie generous and it was easier to get aims than to try to find work. There was no provision last year for car ing for this kind of problem, it was said.
 This year, the Salvation Army will care for cases of real distress among transients. and other cases will be cared for by the welfare department.
 An ordinance was passed at the meeting of the commission Tuesday giving the welfare department au- thority to prohibit solicitation of funds from the public. This will en- able the department to curb fradu- lent solicitation.
 Each person desiring to take up subscription for any purpose must hereafter make application to the welfare department. Frequently. this will result in the departments taking over the case in question, and hand ling it more economically than the individual or private agency could, according to MT. Culley.

 WHEN MI [ N ] | N VOTES AGAINST HIM
Four Commissioners Dead locked Over Hotel andAWait Return of Dickerson to
 Break Tie

Declaring that the police depart ment must have the support Of the city commission if it is to enforce the law, w. B. Cloe, commissioner of public safety. said following the commission meeting Tuesday that President McLendon's stand in op- posing revocation of the license of the Olympia hotel on charges of be- ing a house of prostitution, was a great surprise to him.
 When there is evidence as strong as that presented against this place l cannot understood why MT. Me- Lendon. as president of the city com mission. vcted against revoking the license. We are doing our best to clean up these places that are . stencil to the community and snare to innocent people, but we must have the support of the city authorities. Of course 1t is MT. McLendon's priv fiege to vote as he sees fit, but I was greatly surprised at his stand en this question:
 The vote on the revocation of the license of the Olympia hotel, 2S20 F Fourth avenue, north, resulted in a deadlock, and action was carried over to the next meeting on account Of the absence Of Commissioner W. k. Dickson. Commissioner W. E. Cioe and Mrs. Mary Echols voted for re- Noking the license, while President Mclendon and Commissioner w.. l.. Harrison voted against it. President McLendon and Commissioner Harri- son said that they were in favor of granting the manager of the hotel, Holm Ra1iaG his place would be kept under strict surveillance by the police.
 After haranguing for two hours by e mmissioners and Roderick Beddow, attorney for the defendant as to whether the rooming house was of questionable character Mrs. Mary Echols, commissioner, arose.
 There are but two kinds of places in Birmingham or anywhere else" rang out the clear vCice of Bir- mingham's woman commissioner. There are good places and there are tad places but there are no ques- tionable places. The moment a place becomes questionable it is bad place, and 1t is a snare to innocent people, Mrs. Echols cajeled the un- SC phistication of men of the world'' who did not know what kind of place was being conducted under their own eyes. Mrs Echols took her stand by Commissioner Gloe in up- holding tho action of the police and revCking the license.
 Commissioner Gloe said after tine meeting, that he was confident that Commissioner ". T.. Dickson would vote for revocation of tho license when the question is brought up next Tuesday for final settlement.
