ure Of asking our friends to meet the
count! One genuine, ear-marked,
brand registered nobleman would atone
for all the false alarms.
Not long ago woman had big
financial success in Manhattan. The
only reason why I'm not giving her
name Is that I'm sorry for her. She
had been a. girl Of no education, who
came from q small town where they
eat with their knives. Father always
took off his coat when he came to the
dinner table. But she had plenty Of
native shrewdness and wit and she
made q bundle Of money.
"Ehe Is the most wonderful woman
in the world" said her>husband. Every
one agrees that he meant 1t. He loved
her.
About the same time the Count de
Eloozy became floor-walker in one
Of the establishments where forty dol
lars worth OF silk is sold for eight
hundred dollars when worn by man
nequin. De Floozy's title is said to be
fairly sound. At least, 1t is known
that there are De Floozys in the Eu-
ropean town from which he says he
came. nc 10 INC sWVSteS1 sAAAAh6 JOu
ever saw. st6
The woman has divorced her hus-
band and plans to marry the count.
Meanwhile she has made him the man
ager of her business at a salary that
sounds to him like the reparations to-
tai. When she made her success she
brought her little sister on from the
small town.
"she shall share my happiness" she
said.
Generous and kindly as she can be,
you understand. But temperamentally
unfit to be the guardian of a young
girl just transferred from the dullness
of little town to the hysteric activities
of Broadway by night. She fell in
love with the man who was then the
manager of her successful sister. When
the time was ripe he stole $160,O0O.
"I'n prosecute you," said the sue
cessful woman.
"Yon can't" The man laughed in
her face. ''If you do I'll tell about
your little sister. Then what will the
Count de Floozy say?"
So the little sister has been sent
away. The thief enjoys the stolen
money. The divorced husband is heart
broken. The successful woman is try
ing to accustom herself to the converse
ton which she understands is current
in the circle to which the count may
call her.
Only the count wins. The counts al
ways win in New York. They can't
lose Neither do the messengers for
the bond houses.

OANACb-ouVPs
Come back next week. the Of
1t was not that they shared Rabins
They had overworked themselves lis
tening to the plants Of suckers. When
Rabiner, who had robbed his clients
of $500 900, was sentenced to three
years and then released on parole after
prison, no one bothered. II it had not
been for a newspaper Rabiner would
be garnering easy money today.
One Of the two easy ways is to be-
come messenger for q bond house.
One would think that bond-bankers
would pay some slight attention to the
character Of the young men they employ
to tote packages Of Vegetables. They
haze the name of being almost UNI
naturally wise. Whenever anything
happens or may happen some reporters
review list of bond men. They lean
over the edge Of OLYMPUS and tell us
down below what it all means. The
reporter refers to-
1.-THE Internationally known bank
ers--"
The next day some white collar walks
in from the street and says that he
would like a job rs messenger. The
international bankers hand him SILL
600 worth of bonds and tell him to
take 'em somewhere. And they never
see him any more.
I'VE thought he was all right" they
say.
The chances are that they did not
~n ranch aa call IN his References before
handing him a bundle of money. Or
his papers were forged. One might
think that after. this had happened a
few !, times the international bankers
would wise up. They do not. It has
been a prosperous branch of the thiev-
ing, industry for years.
The second way to. get rich pain
lessly is to be a count. 1t seems safer
to be a count than to tag any Of the
other titles in the Almanach. de Gotha.
We're so used to counts here in New
York that they can be cashed over any
counter. At that there is at least one
prince, and a pair of dukes and a
whole deck of barons at large in town
each of whom has been copiousiy ex-
posed, and each of whom continues to
get the money.
Hes a nobleman," we say.
In any other town which has had
the sad experience of New York with
the nobility that would be signal for
the dog-wagon. Here we continue to
loan 'em money. After all, New York
reasons, sooner or later one of them
will prove to be real. Then we'll be
ahead Of the game. Think of the pleas

MANHATTAN DAYS
AND NIGHTS
BY HERBERT COREY.

NEW YORK.-The old man on Dey
street has lost his last disciple. He
manufactured something or other in
the back room of a dusty little store,
but by avocation he was an apostle.
He preached a new gospel:
Learn to stand on your head. 1t
reverses the current of the blood.
Turns time backward, makes you
young again."
His reasoning did not appeal to the
disciple. But the disciple figured
that if he could get into such good
condition that he could stand on his
head, he would then be in good con-
dition. So he began to practice.
IT did well, too." he told me. "At
first I had to prop myself against
the wall, but ultimately I could do a
headstand in the middle of the floor"
He became a husky. hairy-chested,
thick-necked athlete. Each morn
ing he would stand on his head and
wave his legs in the air. But one
morning he was Understanding when
a door slammed shut and knocked
him over. He broke his shoulder
Il went to three physicians" said
he. and when 1 told them that had
wanted to call the Commissioners
in Lunacy. So I've quit"
Two nice little girls. sweet little
ways gold diggers. They said:
I'VE will get the money, too. Like
the gold diggers do"
That day they walked upon the
avenue with the Judge, who admires
one of them excessively. The other
said:
Gee. Kittie. you're wearing an
awful pair of pumps"
The Judge should have taken the
cue and led them into a shoe store
Instead of which he reminded the
speaker for being catty. Not the
could persuade him to the contrary.
1t certainly pays to be a perfect
gentleman.
The current rating for a hot dog
is dime, all over the United States.
The Democratic delegates knew that.
So that when the purveyors at the
them a quarter they quit cold.
1T looked" said the purveyor, "as
though there'd be enough hot dogs
left over to gorge every seagull be-
tween here and the HebrideS"
Then the convention began to hang
and rattle for those long, hot days,
and the dogs began to move. The
delegates sacrificed their principles
to their hunger. After all, there's a
power of nutriment in a hot dog.
Up at Columbia they say they are
impressed" by the earnestness Of the
students at the summer school. Fiji
teen thousand of them. Think of it!
Enough to supply the clerks for three
skyscrapers the size of the Woolworth
Tower. Enough to make up an army
division. One for each policeman in
Greater New York and several thousand
left over. Enough to supply students
for half a dozen of the backwater uni
versities. That is equivalent to the
entire student population of a city of
100000. as families go nowadays.
The figures are impressive. But I'm
hanged if I can believe they are all
earnest. What-fifteen thousand young
folks spending their vacations in the
biggest, brightest. noisiest, iveliest
city of modern times-and all earn

MOSCOW, July 29.-Soviet Russia

countries in broadcaSting news,

public and the council of commits
sars is expected shortly to issue a
decree permitting the installation of

The government will not only al
low radio users to construct their
own receiving sets, but will undertake
itself to manufacture amateur ap-
paratus for Russias millions. This
will require an entirely new indus

stimulate the development of cleo

Agrees To Serve After Announcing He Was
 Not a Candidate

CHICAGO. May 12.-Ben W. Hoop CT of Newport. Tenn, was reelected chairman of the United States railroad lahpr board today on motion of former Gov Edwin P. Morrow of Kentucky, public member. G. W. 4 Hanger of Washington. and Virginia, Was re-eiect- cd vice chairman.
 Chairman Hooper two months ago announced that he would not be caf- dis1ate for reelection and Mir. Morrow was expected to be the choice. Follow ing the action of the board, however, he signified that he would serve. Mir. Hooper, who is a republican, was gov ernor of Tennessee fer two terms. He had been previously a member of the Tennessee house of representatives and assistant United States attorney for the eastren district of Tennessee. Like Mfr. Hanger and Morrow, he is a member of the public group.
 Mir Hooper is the second chairman of the board, having succeeded R. M. Barton of Tennessee in 1922. He was chairman during the shopmen's strike of 1922, signing historic resolutions at that time. and also signed several de- eisions centuring procedures of the Pennsylvania railroad system in .ap- plying its. employee representation plan The system challenged the jurisdiction of the board, but the latter was upheld by the United States SUI preme court.
