In ,the face of general business condi-
lions prevailing during the Summer,

feet of space, 1t Is evident that sum
Gent ONCE space Is available to take
care of the needs of business expansion

New York.-The other day M Slime Silverman, who answers to the name of Slime and came from at least one of our very better universi- ties, celebrated the 25th birthday of his periodical Variety, which is re- ferred to as "the actors bible"
 And. scanning the contents, it's possible to find brief and rather wistful history of a Broadway that changes as often and as quickly as its famous lights and signs.
 It's seemed to me for long that Variety, because it belonged so defi- nitely to the profesh," has never quite been given its proper place in Americana. Some day we'll be going to. it, as we go to-day to the an- cient copies of Police Gazette, for tips on the times.
 The lingo-argot, if you prefer alone has been worthy of an etymol- ogist or philologist. To the uninI- tiate, it's word coinage must have seemed like some hieroglyphic language. And if one cared to go highbrow, it would be possible to write quite a siZeable essay on it's reflection of certain social aspects a livelier comment than many are likely to suspect. This isn't acci- dental-for behind the slangcries and twisted English are some of the cleverest and most intelligent young men to be found in Manhat- tan's writing crews. I recall hay ing met several who, so it was whispered, were college degree men having swell time.
 Nor should the discovery of the late Jack Conway to pass casually. Conway seemed to me the slang classic of our times, and I have never figured out just why the magazines and book publishers didn't lasso him while there was d chance. Perhaps it wasn't the right moment in time. But had he remained alive, he would cer- tainly have challenged certain slang tOssers who appear to have been nursed upon his knee. And, at least to this scribe, Conway and the late Tad were responsible for some of the most colorful slang creations of the era.
 As far the paper itself. here are few examples of it's headline classics: "Ballyhooey on Beauty by Mime. as Glorified Boloney at $10 per" |. And what do you make of that one, my fellow professors of English? Or Night Club Hostesses in Panic as Dime Chiseling Gets Tougher" =. Or "Chattering Dirt Diggers Kill Twilight Festivity." Or wives Squawk at Office Hint" Or "Flat Scale to Re-educate Crashers." .. Oh "Phillys Legit From 10 to Six Houses"
 If you know the language it's simple. But if you don't, run out and buy slangtionary.

PARIS POLICE LIFT OLD BAN


 Paris-Iratc and unceasing peti- lions of freedom-loving Parisians have finally decided gallant and dapper Jean Chiappe. perfect of Police, to modify Il 7oyeur old or dinance curbing noctural promenad- es in the Bois de Bouloggne and Vincennes
 Explaining that the now musty statute was originally intended to protect society against the dangers of assault and robery, now prac- tically eliminated, has become merely nuisance for honest folk desirous of passing through the two famous wooded areas. Re- gently. parking of automobiles ID the secluded alleys of the Bois de Boulogne was forbidden by the po- lice. and q prolonged wall of dis content went up from baffled parkers. Agitation has not yet subsided but so far the police have not relented, stressing the neces- sity of facilitating traffic.
 The great parks and gardens of Monceau, Luxemborg. Montsouris and even much of the Tuileries are steadfastly closed to stroIlers after night fall, despite indignant protests.

The island is not quite a para disc, however. There are great pyth- ons crawling about and offering dan- ger, and there are cobras as well. In the rivers are crOcodiles.
 Giant bats flap about in the night air.
 The island is the home of many volcanoes. Some seem to be ex- tinct and have large lakes in their craters. Others-at least a dozen are active, and send forth clouds of ashes and streams of lava from time to time
 The people of the island use buff faloes in tilling the soil. The buff faloes are related to the bison on this continent, but are not so large.
 Rice is one of the leading crops.
 Among the important products are rubber, coal, pepper and palm oil. The mines yield tin, copper, iron and gold.
 The island is HOO miles long and 250 miles wide at the widest point. It contains more land than Great Britain and Ireland combined.
 Since this may be rather hard the name begins with "S." If still the East Indies.

 The story is going around also about another ambassador who ap- peared strangely silent at one party given by well-known hostess who is active in the democratic party. Later 1t came to the ambassa- dOr's ears that his silence was a mat ter of comment, for normally he is one of the gayest of the diplomatic set. He was much disturbed and gave an explanation to some of his friends.

Now, in our puzzling manner, we come to very different island from the one we had yesterday--which was Iceland.

 There are dense mountain forests on the island, and hundreds of diff ferent kinds of birds fit from tree to tree or bush to bush. Many of the birds have bright-colored feathers, and there is great singing anw twit- tering, The climate is warm, and there is plenty of rainfall.
