Two of the pallid Broadway col- umnists have had to go away for their compilations. Rian James, the Brooklyn column guy, has landed a vaudeville job. - Wall Street has come to life. No judges have come up missing for 6 couple of days. Katherine Cor nell has her own show, Allah be praised! ]. George Gershwin has gone to Hollywood. About time.
 Al Jolson has a new show. i. And there are at least three new bright light hits. Trader Horn" has finally opened. And Richard Dix in "Cimarron" is a movie sell-out. Deems Taylor has his new opera In the Met. |. They're getting ready to build the Radio City. And the Empire State building seems to be complct- ed. And Harry Richman's re- sort seems to have fallen heir to the old Abbey crowd with Meyers Village Barn, long since given the angury of success by this department, racing the Nut Club for downtown honor.
 Too many things happen in the course of a few weeks in this mans town. And 1t takes long time to catch up.

wide. We hear e roar in the dis tance and walk in that direction.
 In little while an amazing sight meets our eyes. The river tumbles over the edge of great ledge of rock. Down, down. down 1t goes until we can no longer see the water because of the dense clouds of mist.
 The drop has been measured and has been found to be TAI feet; That is nearly five times as great as the drop of Niagara Falls. If you have ever visited Niagara, you know what a wondrous view Is to be seen there. Fancy a waterfall such as this one!
 So far, have not told you the name of the fall. We might call t "The Fall of the old Man." for that is the meaning of the Indian words from which the name was formed "Kaiteur FalP is the way most people speak of 1t.
 Why did the Indians call 1t tho Fall of the Old Man? The answer to this question may be found in two rocks at.the base. These rocks sug- gest the outline of an old man and of canoe.
 An Indian legend tells of an old man who was tied in a canoe and set drifting down the river until he went over the fall. This cruel deed did not end with his death, for the legend says--he and his canoe were turned into stone.
 The legend is interesting, but of course 1t Is one of the many legends which are not true. The rocks are there because Nature happened to make them that way. Through the action of winds and waves and rains. Nature often carves rocks Into cur- ious shapes.

WEATHER BUREAU PLANS
 "POGONIP' INVESTIGATION

Reno, Nev-The United States Weather Bureau is going to make an investigation of "pogonip," that mysterious and dreaded frosted fog that Nevada Indians fear 50 much. The bureau wishes to learn if there Is any similarity between the pogo- nip and the poison fog of Belgium.
 Pogonip, which means "whlte death" in Indian, is familiar in Me- vada and some other sections of the west. Indians refuse to go out side their huts when 1t descends as instances have been recorded when they have been recorded when they have been caught in 1t and died in great agony in a short time.
 Apparently no scientific investiga- tion of the "white death" has ever been made and no literature on the subject is available.

New York.-The minarets of New
 York, as indicated by the rising sun,
 were a few hundred feet higher than those of Africa, and few hun
 dred years younger. But, as the gentleman from the
 Bronx remarked as he learned over
 the rail seeking bit Of fresh air after a hard last night at sea:
 There's couple of good minarets
 for you"
 To be sure there is no mosaic in our homegrown product: there is no tiling that will outlive the cen- turies, but there's a breathless spec
 tacle that makes New York just
 what 1t is and what 1t is likely to remain.
 It was a Monday morning. The harbor was cluttered with boats from Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and way continents. One of the few snows of the year had fallen and draped the neighboring hills. The skeleton of Coney Is- land slid past, an abandoned play ground that binoculars helped but little.
 And then, as though a mirage had worked its miracle, there was Manhattan with its fabulous con- glomeration of turrets and steeples. There was Liberty, with all her shortcomings - but, nevertheless. Miss Liberty. By the way. did 1t ever strike you as peculiar that there has been no MT Liberty? Small boats, which in the morn ing haze, seemed like so many puffing waterbugs, piled in and out. And among them. the immigra- ton and customs boat was putting alongside. Which meant, of course, | the waterfront reporters and the
 first American newspapers in weeks and weeks.
 From out of their staterooms
 came sleepy folk, who had tossed fur coats over their pajamas and stood shivering in the harsh early morning wind. We had put the Arabian Nights back between their

and I are going some time. Next summer, perhaps" Jacks voice answered and his eyes were under standing, proud, loyal as they met Sues.
 Next summer? Why not spring? Everyone goes in the summer and you bump into all kinds of people," Joe's. voice wouldn't be daunted.
 That's why we're going" Jack came back dryly.
 You, Jack, of all people! Re- member the time you ." The "reminiscences were one.
 Arnold Page leaned toward Sue. "When you have lived in the world as long as have. you don't mind the surface veneer Joe's coated herself with pretty thick varnish. It will wear off as she gets older. Oh, by the way, that pretty little Becker girl is your sister, isn't she? Corrinne, I be- lieve her name is."
 "Yes, she is,'' Sue answered. "Do you know herr"
 ''No, I don't. I've just ob- served from a distance"
 Sues heart turned @ little. Why this was idiotic! Why should she care that a perfectly strange man. for whom she had absolutely no personal reaction, should appar- ently be more interested in Cor rinne than he was in her? But she knew that that wasn't the reason that she was afraid. It was because she and Corrinne were both adrift in social world in which they had not been reared. If Corrinne registered more strongly her chances of success were better. And Sue was merely afraid. That was all. She knew 1t very well. If she could believe that just one person in this outside world con- sidered her interesting, without making comparisons, she would feel more at ease.
 The ices had been served. The ivory candles were growing short- CT in the gleaming candle-holder Joe was giving the signal for the guests to go back to the drawing room for coffee. And contract. Sue shuddered. She wouldn't play!
 She moved her foot over the
