IN NEW YORK

New York, Oct. 17.-In most
cities q house number is an address.
In Manhattan it may become the
basis Of bitter court action.
A certain social quality attaches
to many New York addresses. Be-
cause Of certain historic, or roman
tic, or social circumstances, it be-
comes more important to live at
No. 2S9 So-and-so street than at
291.
Just q few months ago there was
finally settled q long legal battle
over the use Of the address No. /
Park avenue. At the present mo-
ment another is beginning over the
use of No. 2 9th street. The first
mentioned engagement cost at least
one Of the litigants q small fortune.
But it was considered quite worth
the money, in view of the social
circumstances.
New York, I am told, is one Of
the easiest cities in the world in
which to get arrested-and also one
Of the hardest.
O. Henry, if my recollection
serves me, told Of the efforts Of q
tramp to break into Jail on Christ
mas eve. He did almost everything
but commit murder, yet he was for
given because it was the Christmas
season. Finally, when he passed q
church he decided to reform, to lead
q better life, and even to attend the
services. At this moment Of hesita-
ton q policeman came along and
arrested him for vagrancy.
And things happen just about
that ironically.
The other day a fellow was ar
rested for tuning up a cornet in a
vacant lot. A passing policeman
assumed that the cornet had been
stolen. But . bill of sale established
his rights to the ownership.
what were you doing in q va
cant lot ?" the officials demanded.
"Well," replied this most ; ,rfect
of citizens, II wanted to practice on
the cornet and happened to think
of the neighbors."
One man in q million who would
save the nerves Of his neighborhood,
and they arrest him for it! AS the
movie captions put it-"Life is like
that"

(NEA Service Writer)

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE presi-
Dental candidate who works the
hardest and at the same time has
the most fun is Norman Thomas, the
Socialist.
The beauty Of the Thomas candi-
dacy is that, as compared with Smith
and Hoover, he has very little to
worry about. He sleeps soundly
every night because his defeat is q
dead certainty and victory this year
is not one Of his objects.
thomas is good material for q
newspaper story, first, because no
one else ever bothers to write about
him and, second, because no one will
complain. Whenever your poor
abused correspondent does q piece
about Hoover there are always per-
sons to write and demand why he
doesn't write something about Smith
and when it's about Smith there's a
complaint that Hoover is being neg
lected.
On the basis of a Washington
speech, Thomas would be the most
interesting of the candidates if he
had chance of election. Although
your correspondent was disappointed
at hearing nothing dangerously
radical, Thomas has no inhibitions.
He can say whatever he likes with
out any danger of alternating the
support Of voters Of some class or
section. There are no doubtful
states for him and no reasons to
pussyfoot.
Because his speeches never are
widely printed or broadcast he could
use the same speech over and over
again, but as a matter of fact he
keeps up with campaign develop
ments and hands both Hoover and
Smith up-to-date roasts.
Thomas is q better all-around
speaker than either Hoover or Smith.
He can thrill his audience more than
Hoover can and makes it laugh
oftener than Smith. With the back
ground of a minister and social well
fare worker, he is more highly cul.
tured than either the engineer or
the veteran politician and cites
authorities and uses words which
neither perhaps ever heard Of.
On top of that he claims to be
the only candidate who discusses

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: Mrs. r. X. writes;
my husband has . slow but strong
pulse of forty per minute. Il this
abnormal or serious when he has an
even temperament, with naturally
steady, deliberate movements. He
is fifty-eight years old, strong and
healthy, though thin. His pulse
runs as high as fifty when actively
engaged. Blood pressure is $50.
He is builder. Would lighter
work, with regulated exercise be
better?"
Answer: Your husbands pulse is
very slow, but as he seems healthy,
and his blood pressure is normal, l
am sure that he is one Of those
cases where a particularly low pulse
is not harmful. Regulated physical
culture exercises would doubtless in.
crease his heart beat to some ex-
tent, and should prove helpful in
making him less phlegmatic.
Question:: M. K. L. asks: us
there any good method Of Develop
ing the bust :"
Answer: Exercise of the arms,
deep breathing, and swimming will
develop the muscles in front Of the
chest and improve the circulation.
This will usually assist in develop
ing the bust.
Question: K. H. writes: II work

tuberculosis. The report read mo
active tuberculosis but now my en-
ployer says that have it and that
1t is only arrested. As am in
danger Of losing my job, please ex.
plain what no active MEANS"
Answer: The report Of your ex.
animation simply means that you
do not have tuberculosis. There is
no evidence that tuberculosis is de.
veloped from infection or contarion
1t you are frail you must build w
your strength and at the same time
avoid those foods which are known
to be catarrh-forming. Send

velope and will be glad to send
you some articles on the subject Of

which will show your employer

THE ARMY OF SHADOWS

The Grand Army of the Republic has been to hold
last national encampment in 1880 at Springfield Ill.,
where Abraham Lincoln lies buried.
The end of the trail is not far away for the Grand
Army. In few more years the thinning ranks must
stack forever. It would be extremely fitting and
right for the last encampment to be held by the tomb
pf Lincoln.
The Civil War-the "irrepressible conflict" of the
hstorians-was long war and bitter war. It cost
the lives of great many young men and left wounds
that took many decades to heal. But it gave the
country unity which will last forever And it gave US
something more something less tangible but no less
precious; great heritage of heroism and endurance
Lincoln already is something like myth. The mag
hcent memorial at Washington, that raises its shin
Ing pillars clear pool, is more than memorial
b former president. It is, in way, symbol of all
the things that democracy holds dearest an
lasting beacon dedicated to figure that grows greater
With the passing years.
The Grand Army too, is something like that It is
bot simply collection Of gray-hared, bent old mon
b blue coats and campaign hats. It is an army of
shadows, marching forever ahead of US down the road
b the future. Like Lincoln it has met death and is
