New York. Nov. ITO the hazards
of modern life in q great city were
added this week five additional rlshs.
They are: meeting your bride. motoring
m fhe drive. being a landlord, moving
a trunk on Sunday, and biting your
tailor. Yet they call this q free coun-
try. 1t must be remembered, too, that
these risks are quite aside from those
az election. At present the town is IN
a turmoil over the task of eiectlng al
Smith for governor. or not electihs
Governor Miller and over the question
of returning Governor Miller TO con
gress because his friends live Oh fntn
avenue, or of keeping him out tor tnat
same reason.
The hazards of politics, however:
have nothing at all on the big fisk OF
meeting your bride. Any one VINO
thinks romance is dead ought TO nave
heen on the Brooklyn pier where 10
yolDg men waited for % young women
arriving on a vessel from Constantine
ME. The young men had won the young
women through correspondence, slght
unseen. Each young man held a photo
and each young woman held a photo
and when the first young man recog-
nized his young woman and sufSed TOT
ward to greet her. the little fence sur
rounding the customs official just nata-
rally gave way.
Warm Welcome
So did the customs officers for each
young man was backed up by q score
Of relatives who had come to ald III me
welcome. With the fence OWL ana
most of the customs officials down, me
n impatient bridegrooms elect fairly
-. I..+ ,ff fhair foot In fhp
scrimmage a bridegroom occasionally
nicked the wrong bride, but was set
right by the proper bridegroom, usual
II through a hearty punch in the nose.
At last the customs officials recoV-
cred their breath. knocked out the
b~ridegrooms. sorted out the brides. gave
zach lady into the grasp of her right
ful champion and sent the Y couples
and several hundred relatives Off IN
search of clergymen and court plaster.
Another proof that the MOVIES, az
their widest are not telling the nan
of if was furnished by s. NJ. Mas,
Miss Elsie Conroy and a sedan car
They motored up the empty drive at a
late hour the steering gear broke. Their
sedan went through the guard ran,
dropped 10 feet. rolled for 70 feet over
and over. and stranded on the railroad
track at the moment when a freight
train came laundering around a curve
in the darkness. The freight stopped a
matter of inches away. Both were
bruised but stepped out Of the wreck
which instantly burst into flames. Beat
ing death in three ways in three MIN
utes beats a three-recler.
Landlords Pressed
Being a landlord was once the favor
tie indoor sport Of this town. But now
q landlord must keep his apartments
at 6S degrees when the weather out
side is 30 degrees or less, and between
watching the thermometer and the coal
hin and the direction from which the
policeman comes. the landlords are
nervous physical and optical wrecks.
When the policeman is not watching
the landlord, ne is looking for people
who move trunks to the city home from
the corsatry places on Sunday. Re
member. if you do this, to move the
trunk in a station car, which comes
under the headline of pleasure vehicles
ideas of pleasure vary, and thus, as
IN the case of Nicholas Roosevelt, es-
rape the law against trucking on the
sabbath.
And if you feel you must bite your
tailor do take him outside New York
rity where laws are not so strict. An
Italian tailor has been awarded a YER
dict of 5000 because his employer bit
him in the hand. It. was all over a bill
bf 81. which proves once again that in
iny dispute it is not so much the money
as the principle of the thing which
counts.
