 The Foundation has decided 10 vpend money mapping out the de- velopment and expansion of New York city for the next hundred years
 If committee one hundred years ago had planned for a century or New York extension, the committee would be surprised if 1t could re- turn today Still more surprised would be today's committee If 1t should como back a hundred years from now.

 Mir. Dempsey, white heavyweight viii fight MT. wiilA black heavy weight, in Montreal July 1. Montreal guarantees: First. no interference with the fight; second, no objection to nixed coiors- On emillion dollars gate money is expected.
 Suppose some manager" from Eouatorial Africa should put into the ring with tho white man and the b,sck man ono of their half-brothers, an eight foot -tal1-red- d-haired gorilla And suppose that gorilla should take Dempsey in one hand and throw him out of the ring to the left. take the black man and throw him to the rirht, saying: Give me the million dollars" It won't happen. but how Interesting 1t would be.
 A full sized eight-foot gorilla, with | chest 120 inches around, would throw Dempsey as Dempsey would throw | kitten. For that matter, an ournng- -outang half the size of Demp- sey could dispose of him in 30 sec onds. That shows how unimportant mere brute force Is.
 However, It Is the only thing that really interests mere brutes, and they are willing to pay q million to see what they want to see.

 There was trouble again, two po- licemen were nurdered in one day. q third shot and buildings were attack ed with dynamite bombs. That is a much worse thing for labor.
 The crimes have nothing to do with tens of thousands of honest. hard working men in tho building trades. But as law holds a man responsible for the acts of his servants, so public opinion holds workingmen responsible for the acts of their
 Union men have complained of a ~nation wide effort to destroy unions" That may exist. But all it might accomplish in ten years to injure unions would be as nothing compared to what so-called labor leaders" do, when they resort to mur- der. and dynamite.
 School authorities of Poughkeepsie will engage no more school teachers With bobbed hair. They refer to those ladies as freaks"
 & A school teacher with long hair must wash 1t at least once in two weeks. When she washes It. she must sit sarourhe in front of the rad iator, or the electric fan-that gives her cold-or with her back to the sunlight, with . towel over her shoulders. She must wash 1t. comb II, dry 1t. And then she can't do any thing with it.
