THE skin on the palms of the
l. hands, the soles of the feet,
the shoulders and the back of the
neck is the thickest of any por-
ton of the body. 1t varies, how
ever, from .O2 to .16 inch in thick
ness from its thickest to its thinnest
portion.
The skin is also subject, of course,
to unusual growths- on its surface,
such as are represented by moles,
warts, pimples and similar disturb
anceS.
These growths are made up of COL
lectionS Of cells, usually deeply pig
mented, which are different than
the normal cells.
The skin is an organ of the body,
Just as are the liver, the heart or
the lungs. When the flow of fluid
to the skin is hindered for any rea-
son, the tissue hardens, thickens and
losses its normal appearance.

Deems Taylor's announcement
that he has dropped the tragic fan

opera for the Metropolitan finds me
the pitiful protagonist.
1t was my novel, Candle Follows

planned to found his music drama.
In the beginning this was supposed
to be a secret, but I never did keep
it well, and at this late date I see
no reason why should not rend
my clothing in the market place.
To be sure, Taylor has said, Some

not be here and it is my we'll con-

trampled down by the armies Of

1t was my keen desire that he
should have musical survival for
such fate would have been pc
culiarly romantic in his case.
If Bunny could have gone on in
this new form he would have been
sort of Cinderella man. The book
in which he lived and died fell like

when he received the manuscript

g : VI young people are coming
to the city to make good bad or indif-
ferent. No doubt their parents and
teachers have warned them against the pitfalls
which surround youth in the metropolis; they
are aware of the evils of glambling. drinking,
phianderng and not changing to wooden
derwear in the Winter
In the eyes of Middle Westerners the persona
f1cation of Broadway is still gay, hated
gentleman drinking champagne from chorus

If any such practice were in vogue at the pres

stagger too, If you were as heavily laden with

When came to New York for the first time
I was prepared to Withstand the temptations
of wine, women and song. But no one had
warned me against gadgets And it is gadgetS
that have been my ruin.
Perhaps you have seen the Shifty-eyed sales
men who stand the curb demonstrating
cardboard airplaneS, vacuum coat hangers, me-
chanical fighting cocks and non-wrinkling
neckties. And perhaps you have said to your
self. who in the world do they ever sell that
stuff top
Well, now it can be told They sell that stuff
to me. These sidewalk statesmen seem to have
a hypnotic effect upon me. When they see
me, their shifty eyes become fixed and glitter
ing. They level the fire of their sales talk
directly at me- dangling their baubles before
my fascinated gaze. My step falters I pause
irresolutely and moment later I find myself
saddled with large wooden snake, tin fiddle,
a string of ersatz pearls or a dancing doll
