About Hog.calline, !. r..

There is animated strife between Chicago anil
Kansas City as to which has the champion hog-cai
er. Each city puts forth claims, and while this is
really not Duluth matter there Is tendency here
to favor Chicago simply because it is about hogs.
But the chances are that the talk will come to
nothing because this game has not been standard
lzed There are no rules and the cali has not been
agreed upon. Different sections have differing
calls according to the New York World, which
gives questions like this serious attention Here
are some Of the calls:
Indiana and Western Kentucky: "P-o-o-o-o.p-i-c!
P-o-c-o-o-g-i-e! P-o-o-o-o-g-i-e!"
Middle West "Whoo-ee! Whoo-ee! Whoo-ee!

IN NEW YORK

New York, Sept. 10.-A fat per-
centage of those who travel to New
York disembark in a building which
holds a population as big as the town
they came from.
Grand Central terminal, I am told,
holds $4,000 workers.
Few who make their befuddled
way into the huge structure in the
wake of "red-caps" ever come to real
ize the uniquencss of this place.
Here, il necessity exacted, one
could spend ones days amid such
Injuries as few enjoy. He could
take his morning swim in a COM
Portable pool, get his morning papers
and magazines, go to a special break
fast place, get his check cashed at
Il bank, shop for everything from
kewpie dolls tv imported figs and
stroll through magnificent art gal
lery in the afternoon.
He could eat the cooking Of world
famous chefs, dance in one Of the
largest bathrooms, descend to amaz-
ing catacombs many floors below the
street where runs the network of
subways, sun himself on a roof gar
den and buy swallow tailed suit for
dinner. All this, and ever SO much
more, without ever getting out from
under the roof Of the building.
Once again we shed a tear.
Within few months the historic
Park Avenue hotel will be in ruins
and on it's ground will rise q 20
story department store.
Better hurry If you wish a glimpse
of anything smattering of old New
York!
The foot of Fifth Avenue becomes
hardly recognizable. One by one the
prim historic broYnstones melt be.
/, fore the picks Of the wreckers and
up go 2o-story observation-disclosures.
They tell me that the shrewd
builders Of today keep their eyes
open for places near public squares:
hence the rush Of building around
old Washington Square.
Their eyes now are peeled upon
sedate old Gramercy park, which
none may now enter without private
keys. This has long been sacred to
| the memory OF traditions and fine
| old-fashioned customs. No sky.
scraper has yet cast its shadow over
the lovely block Of unspoiled trees.
If this cool and quiet haunt be
defiled--well, "there's always the
river" as the melodrama heroines
used to say.
University Place has surrendered
to the cloud-dwellers. On four corners
see steel climbing toward the stars
All to rent at fat prices. Madison
, Square 10 said by the wise ones to
DC doomed TO huge apartments and
Union Square may escape because Of
the heavy traffic about it.
Bit by bit Manhattan surrenders
to the giants. The territory around
each tiny open space Is looked upon
as 'mcat" for. the huilders.
But how are tho Thousands who
occupy these huge new buildings 60
ing to crowd into one tiny little
park!
