VILLAGE Goes

NEW YORK, Dec. IS u.N.S.). -
Greenwich Village, which used TO be

Latin Quarter, isn't that way any

Today the Village is sedate. al

more so right along. The physical
aspects Of the famous old section
have changed so much that former
habitues would hardly recognize the
place.

professional men and business wo-
men.
There still are a few of the old
bizzare places left, cafes and ca
barets with queer names and ire
quented by the restless younger
generation, but for the most part
the Village Is taking on an atmos-
pfere of sanity that almost ap-
proaches severity.
Instead Of garbage cans standing
guard in front Of shabby doorways
you now observe trim evergreen
bushes, wrOughtiron entrance gates
and nicely scrubbed steps. The type
OF occupants OF apartments and
homes has changed remarkably
from ten years ago--even five years
ago.
Now, instead of poorly clad gem
tlenen with studious expressions
and flowing black ties you observe
sn0artly attired, well-fed men troop
ing in and out, swinging their walk
ing sticks and exuding prosperity.
The women for the most part are
no longer young girls from the
country seeking to "express' them.
selves, but are brisk, competent
business women.
De Luxe Apartments

not be much different than some
OF the classiest sections in Man.

To CRITICS

Almost any. type Of radio re.
ceiyer and the most inexperienced

with substantial programs from

Of these troubles.

Bill Sweets and John B. Kennedy,
who have charge of the American
Magazine affairs de mike, brought
to radio listeners last evening from
WRC the only statement we've.
seen from Major Chester Mills,
winner of the Durant prize, that
Government critics of his prize
winning essay on prohibition en-
forcen1ent have missed the point Of
his SOS, 900 endeavor. Major Milis
stated the Government critics de-
voted their criticism to only one
part OF his formula--that having TO
do with alcohol diversion and its
control---and missed most OF what
he had to say.
While the major wasn't altogether
clear in stating TO his radio audi
arce lust what his ether ideas were,
he did indicate that IL his critics
had so definite an idea of what was
needed they should have written
ESSAYS and won the money. Al II
is the major stated he had for
nerIy dreaded Christmas ay-but
now there couldn't be too many OF
the kind he had day before yester-
