IN NEW YORK

New York, Sept. 13.-Thc manner
in which lunchers gallop their food
in the "quick and hasxys" is one Of
the sights Of New York.
In one Of these places located on
Madison Avenue in the mid Forties
and catering almost entirely to salad
and sandwich eating girl workers,
5000 persons are served. the man.
ager informs me.
To accomm odate this number in the
required time, almost military pre-
cision is required in service. Only
the most hard.boilcd can loitcr y
moment after the meal has been con.
sumed. The hostesscs and attend
ants begin to strip off the table
cloth and pull back the chairs the
moment a diner has taken her last
sip Of demi tasse. t
The portions are regulated with
amazing accuracy. Four experts
view each plate before II leaves the
kitchen. Their trained eyes detect
the slightest deviation from the
standardized helping and they stand
ready with spoon and knife to re-
move so little as half spoonful.
This, the manager tells me, is nec-
cssary il the established efficiency is
to be maintained!
And the chances are that so per
cent of the diners come from towns
where the inn keepers would blush
Il they felt their guests were going
away hungry.
It has been said that the best place
in the world to start an argument
IA Columbus Circle.
This spot, as is quite generally
known. is supposed to be the most
traffickcd place in America.
But on the northwest arc, partic-
ularly after sundown, thwarted
debaters Of all ages gather to "thresh
things OUT" much as the boys gath
cred around Simpkins' country store
at the Four Corners.
No stranger is denied q voice in
the argument and oftentimcs as
many as Is or 20 groups may be seen
going to it simultaneously. The de-
bates are entirely impersonal and
any injection Of personalities results
in the ousting of the belligerent.
One Sunday night not 50 long ago
I witnessed dozen or more going
to il heatedly, in spite of a drixzling
rain, on the subject of whether or
not an only child has better chance
than one Of large family.
Long about midnight; .esin pass
Ing the spot, ! noticed they were
still at it. And the drixxling rain

Printing the News
{ MinncapOlis Tribune)

Newspaper editors all the country are being
bcrated as dstortonists to the public mind because
they devoted more space to the death and funeral Of
Rudolph Valentino than to the death and funeral Of
Charles w. Eliot tho venerable educator and former
president of Harvard university.
On the surface Of things the indictment may APP
pear to be we'll based 1t will not be questioned BY
thoughtful persons that the life and achievement Of
DR. Eliot were intellectually more worth while to the
human race than those of the screen actor.
The fact probably is that the newspaper editors
devoted more space to Dr. Eliot as a man than to
Valentino as man, and more space to the mobilize
ado that was made about Valentino than to the dig
nfied reverence for DR.. Eliot in death.
For this mobilize ado the newspaper editors were
not responsible. Thousands Of morbid persons OF
all ages and classes created the news which the ed
itors as gatherers and dsseminators of news were
obligated to print by virtue Of their relationship to
their readers. First responsibility for the great
mass OF stuff printed about the morbid scenes and
events that followed the death of Valentino for days
lay outside the newspaper Offices not inside They
were happenings in which great throngs Of people
ntrudcd themselves; happenings that have had few,
= any, parallels in the countrys experienced hap
pcnings that could not be ignored by q newspaper
whose mission is to print the news, by organza-
tfons charged with. the business of reporting and
distributing news.
Whether or not the printing Of this news involved
distortion OF real human values there was nothing
to do but print it because great majority Of read
efs wanted It and were entitled to it, since it was
neither indecent nor appreciably harmful to public
welfare.
There IS soon to be prize ring encounter for a
pugiistac premiership It will Guido both the Eliot
and Valentino cases in the matter Of newypaper
space. Why! Because many men and women
newspaper readers are interested in it Tor one rea
sen Or another. and not because newspaper editors
delight their souls in the printing Of reams Of stuff
about It. ~ the test Of general interest, which is

know would not te1egram for
any other reason.
Van received this second tele-
gram from me and also another
one from his friend Kang.
But mine then seemed most
urgent, so he forgot his friend and
came to washington at once and
without baggage.
He arrived late Tuesday night
and found me in much pain.
He brought nothing with him for
my treatments so went to the
drug store in Union Station to get
some material.
The police checked up on every
bit Of this story and know It is
true. We were late in getting to
sleep so we were late in getting
up the next morning, wednesday.
/ tried to eat, little colfee ana
toast but it did not go well, so we
sent the bell boy out for some
canned pineapple fresh fruit l
thought was too acid. He came
back without 1t. so then Van went
out to hunt.
The district attorney was very
sarcastic about us not being able
to find canned pineapple around
| the Union Station, but many people
| can verify the fact that nearly
eight years ago there were very
| few stores around the station there
are not very many even now, and
| Van was truly unable to find the
pineapple and came back to the
| hotel in state of disgust.
While Van was out, he met two
strange Chinese in front of the
Postoffice who spoke to him. They
said they had met him In Van
couver.
| Van explained he had landed In
/ San Francisco. While talking, they
walked on and Van asked them TO
help him find me some pineapple.
| They led him towards what he
now knows to be Pennsylvania
Avenue. The police checked up on
this story also at the time and
found it to be true.
There was someone who remem.
fbered distinctly seeing three Chinese
walking toward Pennsylvania Ave
nue. on this day, at this time, and
described Van with his derby hat,
and one Of the other Chinese.
NY brother could converse with
these men in Mandarin Chinese
ioniy, and as they talked to eacb
other a great deal In their. native
dialect which he could not under
stand, he soon left them and came
back to the hotel.
Later in the afternoon felt bet
ter so dressed and went up to the
mission house to get a. package Mr..
Wu had told me about and get any
other mail.
The District Attorney Is very
