IN NEW YORK

New York, Oct. 13.-The none-too-
gentle art of "ballyhoo" continues to
convert Broadway into a super
Coney Island.
The more polite term of "promo-
ton" is now used in connection with
those blatant activities intended to
attract attention to everything from
Chinese noodle resort to a $5.5O-a-
seat theater attraction.
Loud speakers now keep the street
crowds informed concerning the
music and merriment in upstairs
cafes and dance resorts. At noon
time, when lunch goers amble by
the amplifiers shrek their loudest
notes.
The old-fashioned waxworks dis
plays have been raided to ''bally-
hoo" a play dealing with gangdom.
A wax policeman stands at attention
in the doorway; chains and hand
cuffs bangle from lobby display at
rogues' gallery; a peep-show re-
veals grisly crime and a placard
warns you to peep at your own risk.
Livid skeletons peep from the
black curtains of a display of paint

trio bulbs. Suddenly, to the wonder
n,ent of the crowd, she cries out
"You amt seen nothin' yet, folks!''
Even Major Amos Hoople would be
surprised.
Meanwhile, over the spires of the
city, floats a flying armada, zig
tagging the sky with wings illum-
mated in gorgeous crimson, green or
blue.
Here may be the beginning of q
new gay white way that challenges
the stars.
What with the new movies from

Don Dickerman is an outstanding
example of the human paradoxes
produced by Manhattan. A scien-
fist, explorer, artist by instinct and
nature, he makes fortunes annually
in night resorts that cater chiefly
to visitors, tourist bus trade, collie
gians and such.
For years his cafe pirates have
decorated the front of the Pirates
Den, place visited by most of the
sightseeing buses. His Heigh-Ho
has vast college pull and his
County Fair is a cafe in hick cloth
ing.
Yet Dickerman has sailed on most
of the exploration trips of William
Beebe; he is recognized at the Ma
tural History Museum as q natur-
alist and artist of no mean ability.

INFLAMMATION OF THE EYE

In LA M M n 4VAN VI AAAI ~ -
Inflammation Of the eyeball,
termed conjunctivitis, is indicated by
a reddish bloodshot appearance, US
ually accompanied by a discharge
from the mucous membranes OF the
eve and may be caused by several
distinct diseases.
The most frequent disease that
attacks the eye is acute catarrhal
inflammation which causes bright
redness on the surface Of the eye
ball, with feeling Of pain and dry
ness, extreme sensitiveness to light
and a copious mucus secretion. at
first having the consistency of tears.
This turns into glue-like pus as
the disease progresses and may
even fasten the eyelids together dur
ing the night.
This disease frequently follows
measles, smallpox, influenza. colds
and scarlet fever. Sometimes the
disease, instead of being acute, is
chronic in nature and lasts for a
longer time, but usually without as
violent symptoms.
A chronic catarrh of the eye may
be caused by eye strain, irritation
from foreign particles, smoke or
other causes. The eye is Redeemed,
but there is not as large a supply
of mucus present.
Another type Of inflammation of
the eye, or conjunctivitis is known
as trachoma, and is often called
granulated eyelids. In this disease,
small pus Jumps appear on the under
surface of the eyelids. This disease
is quite contagious and is usually
carried from one person to another
by towels or by the hands.
There is another very dangerous
type of conjunctivitis that often re-
suits in blindness resulting from a
gonorrheal infection that may be
carried either on towels or the
hands. This disease begins very
much like the acute conjunctivitis
but also causes a pronounced SWELL
ing of the front of the eyeball, ac-
companied by thick pus discharge.
The eyelids are sometimes so greatly
enlarged as to be pushed forward
entirely concealing the eyeball.
There is a severe pain and tender
ness accompanied by some fever.
This disease frequently results in
blindness, as it may produce a
sloughing off Of the cornea or front
of the eye, and permit the escape of
the gelatinous interior of the eye
ball. Even if this does not occur,
the cornea usually becomes more or
less opaque. The disease is very
contagious. A sad part is that this
disease often occurs in babies about
the third day after birth from in
lection during birth. Practically
every nation now requires that the
doctor place some weak antiseptic
in the baby's eyes as protection
against this occurring.
The simpler types of conjunctivitis
can be handled with an acid fruit
fast, and the renewed application
of cold wet cloths to the eyes.
A person with conjunctivitis
should of course be kept away from
the possibility Of injecting others
and his eyes should be guarded
against light until the inflammation
has subsidized. The gonorrheal type
Of conjunctivitis is very dangerous,
and while fasting regime accom-
panied by wet congresses is help
full, it is also necessary that your
doctor employ antiseptic measures
to overcome this trouble in its early
stages before it has an opportunity
to destroy the precious eyesight.

threat of revolt. Being normally
Democratic, Protestant and dry, it
has been the main battle-ground in
the efforts of the Anti-Saloon
League and the Ku Klux Khan to
defeat Smith. The greatest danger
of detection appears to lie in the
border states, including North
Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and
Kentucky.
It is very important for Smith to
get an adequate share of the votes
in both rural west and rural south.

Washington, Oct. 13.-Probably NO
other campaign has ever seen such
a clearly defined contest between the
rural vote and the city vote as in
1923.
Across the country, again and
again, the question of greatest i'm
portance is found to be whether
Smiths heavy urban vote will be
offset by the heavy Hoover vote out
in the state.
This is a question of enormous
Importance because it figures es-
pecially in the largest states; that
is, those with the biggest electoral
votes.
In New York, it's question
whether the large majority of which
Smith is certain in New York City
will be beaten down by the probable
large majority which Hoover will
have in the rest of the governors
own state. Smith cannot win, it is
generally agreed, without New
York's 45 electoral votes.
In New Jersey again, Smith is ex-
pected to have large city majority,
but the Republicans are confident
that the rest Of New Jersey will
turn him down.
Smith is again likely to carry
Boston and most of the manufacture
ing cities of Massachusetts, but
again Massachusetts, is very doubt
full state because of the outside vote.
Cleveland and Chicago are likely
to go for Smith, but it may be a
different story as regards Ohio and
Illinois.
This same parallel can. be fol-
lowed out as far as San Francisco,
which may 60 for Smith in the face
of an enormous Hoover majority in
California. It applies to Milwaukee
in Wisconsin, St. Louis in Missouri,
Baltimore in Maryland, Wilmington
in Delaware and so on.
1t is quite conceivable that Smith
may carry six of the largest cities
in the country. His chances are at
least fair in New York, Chicago.
Cleveland, st. Louis, Baltimore and
Boston. Among the next ten cities
he is likely to capture Buffalo, San
Francisco, Newark, Milwaukee. New
Orleans and Minneapolis. But not
SO likely, according to such Informs
