Huge Population of Greater
New York

Greater New York, with its five boroughs, has q
population nearing the 100000 mark. AS for the
rural population OF the state of New York, including
the count of upstate cities and towns, the population
is said to approximate 100000. In other words, the
Empire state Of the East has a total population Of
100000.
All this IS a reminder that returns compiled re-
Gently by the Associated Press for Texas with a lin
tied number OF counties missing, placed the states
figure at about 100000. If the figure IS accurate,
then the per cent gained in the ten year period is a
remarkable showing for the Lone Star State There
are two congressional districts in what is known as
West Texas with a total voting population Of more
than 100000.
In the not remote past these districts were given
ever to the lordly cow kings and their cowboys and
their herds. Another section which has shown re-
raTkable gains Is the Imperial Valley Of the Lower
Rio Grande. Thousands OF the newcomers came from
the northern and western states. and white republic
can voting population, according TO the veteran lead
ers Of that party under Texas skies. has doubled since
1920. There are 10000 negroes Of voting age in Tex
as. They have been voting only in spots. Many Of
them pay poll tax but they never venture near the
ballot box on election day. There Is a white repub-
ncan party In Texas, white men do the party manag-
Ing, white men FIJI the federal offices and white men
attend the national conventions. AS for the brother
in black, he Is very useful for voting purposes, but
the trouble is he refuses to function on election day.
It was different in the so-caned good old days"

Especial session, and this too without any great delay.

recommendation repeatedly. Now they are going to
hand him a London naval peace pact, elegantly en-
broidered as an olive branch offering, and they hope
that this will mellow his mind and he will be ready to
emoke the pipe Of peace. SO to s" was a message
that carried a meaning all its own. 1t is said there

about in a car as big as a bus and
wearing pearls as big as marbles"
He must have been crazy" re-
peated Judy absently.
He was-dead crazy. You see
that's the way with girls when
they're clever, Judy"
But you said she wasn't clever"
Not clever al her Job. ] meant:
but clever as the devil when 1t came
TO hooking old Everglade. you betI
She wasn't the kind Of girl a chap
like that marries!"
But he did marry herl" Judy
said with a sudden snap. Like a fish
biting.
"oh. yes. he married her all
right
why, then?"
You goose! Because he was mad
about her and couldn't get her any
other way"
on! said Judy.
1t was a whispered exclamation,
just a soft eXpelilng Of her breath.
Thoughts were taking shape in her
mind. FURY and hatred and revenge
had been seething there for days,
but never any coherent plan. There
was none now-oniy the picture Of
yellow-haired girl in the big car,
and the handsome man hanging
over her, his eyes alight, his plea
sure hers, his will and his life just
a couple II toys IN her torn.
That was an ideal Everglade had
been mad about Gertie Clarendon,
and ne had to marry her. Perhaps
in the beginning he had thought
that she was mot the sort OF girl
one could marry" Perhaps she had
been to him only a little Judy
Grant: but Gertie Clarendon had
been clever. Judy laughed as If
something had amused her.
Before she reached home. Judy
bought an evening paper. One Of
the first things she saw was this an
nouncement:
Jasmin sings and G~ossteivitsch
plays at Mr.. Bruce Gideon's big
party on Park Avenue tonight.
Judy read the half column de-
voted TO Gideon's entertainment
very carefully. There q a de-
scription of the salon. which she
learned for the first time was the
most beautiful room in New York,
and Of the music room. where she
had danced 10 Guarvenius. And
Gregor Gossteivitsch. who had
played for her, was to play to the
guests. and Carlo Jasmin. the great
est living tenor. was TO sing, and
the flowers were to cost so many
hundreds. and the supper was TO
be served at separate tables in the
picture gallery on the floor above.
She read that Madame de Toros.
Mr.. Gideon's sister. was acting
hostess: that she was famous for
her elegance and perfect taste In
in dress. and that she would prob
ably wear the magnificent Albenza
pearls.
Judv-s thoughts went back to the
-irl IN the car. She would probably
BE- there-Gertie Clarendon. AT any
rate. she could be there: but little
Judy Grant couldn't-oh, dear. mol
She did not know q single person
in Gideon's real world-only the
two or three uninteresting men who
had been to lunch with them, and

She was not giving herself away.
She was quite convinced that the

wanted TO know whether she was

at her with absorbed interest, talk

in her the one thing that mattered
to him in life.
His companion was quite young.
She had yellow-brown hair that
grew round her pale face IN rather
fantastic curls. Her eyes were a
vivid turquoise blue. Judy's chief
