In NezU York
BY STEVE HANNAGAN

NEW YORK, July 10.-The man
seeing bus can't walk.
He overlooks the hustle of Broad
way every day from a wheel chair
which he rolls atop an uptown hotel
He is Howard Rice, middle-aged
man, who seven years ago was
stricken with a strange malady
which has rendered him unable to
walk.
Strange that the town that has
made the rubberneck wagon famous
New York, with it's Chinatown
Bowery and Coney Island trips-did
not originate it.
Rubberneck wagons made their
first appearance in ST. Louis during
the 1904 worlds fair. There were
four of them, built especially to
Rice's specifications. Two of them
seated forty persons, two more TWEEN
ty each.
Despite his affection, Rice is one
of the most pleasant and enthusiastic
persons I ever have met. He gets no
physical exercise, yet has a healthful
glow in his cheeks.
Each day he suns himself for
hours on the roof of his hotel. Win
ter and summer, rain or shine, it is
just the same to him.
During the lavish afternoons of
summer Rice holds daily roof parties.
Men prominent in many endeavors
visit him.
Although the sightseeing bus was
his idea. Rice made little money as
a result Of it. He didn't follow it
through to its present state of per-
lection. He is. however, financially
Independent.
Through seven years of distress,
Rice never once has complained,
close friends relate.
His one ambition is to ride in an
airplane.

The lead band is composed of sew

When from work you're away and
you plan for a Cay just to loaf
around home, it is true, that your
plans run amuck and you always
get stuck, for the wife finds you
plenty to do.
The icebox is tainted; the screens
must be painted; YOU humbly get
down on your knees and fix up the
chest while in old clothes you're
dressed; then you get out the paint,
If you please.
II isn't joke that the babes bed
is broke; a couple of Stats fallen
through. With a hammer and nail
to the job you must sail. for the
fixing it ups up to you.
The porch must be scrubbed and
the window panes rubbed and the
furnitures needing a shine. You
work right along, righting things
that are wrong, if your lot is the
same as is mine.
Yes, you1l sure be outguessed on
that day that you'd rest, for the

the Missus gets dizzy at keeping
them busy; just workin' and tinker

Extreme Outpost

West of Hawaii we're wide open. "
It's agreed that the center of oper-
ations, should we have a Pacific war,
would be west of Guam. From Ha-
wall to Guam is $3.50 miles.
"a modern battle fleet" says Will
liam Howard Gardiner, one Of Amer
icas ablest naval critics, has an eff
fective operating radius of only
about 1000 miles from it's base"
True, Wake Island, 2.010 miles
west of Honolulu, on the way to
Guam, is American, but it's a mere
coral atoll, worth as base, experts
agree, absolutely nothing.
The Philippines have a floating
drydock-too small, however, to ac-
commodate major ships. But if ia
pan began war suddenly, according
to her custom, naval officers concur
that she'd have seized the Philip
pines and Guam long before an
American fleet could get even to
Honolulu.
In short, for practical purposes,
Hawaii is Americas extreme west
ern outpost in the event of Pacific
war

common name for it in England is
Charles Vain" This is thought TO
have originally been "Churl's Vain, -
meaning a peasants cart. In time,
this became changed 10 Charles
Vain"
The Romans imagined that the
seven stars in the Great Dipper rep
resented seven blowing oxen. and so
they called the constellation the
"Septentriones."
But like the English of today. the
early Greeks saw the figure of a
wagon in the constellation and so
they called in "Hamaxa, which
means the wagon"
The Eskimos imagined that the
stars of the dipper formed the out
line of a reindeer.
The Arabians thought of the four
stars which make the bowl of the
dipper as forming a bier and so they
called the constellation Ma 'sh. ="
which means a bier.
Mention of the constellation is
made twice in the Bible in the Book
Of Job. The Hebrew word is "Ay-
ish," evidently related to the Arabic
name.
In this connection, it is interesting
to note that the early Christians also
egarded the constellation as form
ing a bier and called it the Bier Of
Lazarus"
The three stars which form the
handle Of the dipper were thought
ty them to represent Mary, Martha
end Mary Magdalene.

form the dipper was given a name

Science

In his latest romance. H. Rider
Haggard describes a race of hairy
men" in Africa, half-beast, half-hu-
man, "a people such as were our
forefathers thousands or millions of
years ago."
Stories based upon the theory of
the missing link" are not uncom-
mon and it is true that there exist
in the wilds of Africa and in one
or two other places, human beings
who are more closely allied with
beasts than they are to the more
advanced types of men, also beasts
that are like men
For the purpose of studying this
phase of the evolution of man, T.
Alexander Barns, recently returned
from the Ngorongoro crater region
in the eastern Congo, proposes that
this little known section be set aside
as a game refuge This region is
the home of the gorilla and CHM
panzee. In this section they are
almost tame, as they have been
hunted very little. The proposal to
protect them has scientific support.

law. the amusement business and
the hotel business.
The income derived from stores of
all kinds ran it a close second, fur
nishing 31.39 per cent.
Third From Trade
Stores yielded a proportionately
| less income, for while their net total
was almost as great as the public
service incomes, the number of
stores reported was greater than
the number of incomes of the other
class. OF all businesses in the coun-
try, 1918 per cent are trade of some
kind The public service businesses
amount to 29.OS per cent of me
total.
Agriculture and related industries
provided SIS per cent of the Ma
TONS income Manufacturing of all
kinds was below it, with 7.7S per
cent
Ranking next are construction
businesses, composing BIS per cent
of the total, and finance, banking
and insurance, with 4.56 per cent.
Mining Smallest
The smallest class of income is
from the mining and quarrying bust
ness.
The number of stores is nearly
twice as great as the number of
farms and manufacturing plant put
toge Their. There were 297,133 in
comes reported from trade, as
against 104,834 from agriculture, and
59,5l3 from manufacturing.
In manufacturing food products,
beverages and, tobacco led both in
number of plants and in income de-
rived. Textiles were next. Metal

the Great Dipper, unlike the other
consultations. actually looks like
what it is named after.
Recognition is made still easier by
the fact that the stars which COM
pose it are all bright stars and there
are no other very bright stars ner
the dipper.
The dipper is one of the first con-
stellations which attracted the at

tain of the sky, you understand east
~ why this is so.
But it has not always occurred to
men to call it a dipper.
In Europe, it is frequently referred
to as the pillow or the wagon. A
