N *OBSERVtR'
City Garbage

One of the biggest municipal prob.
lens here is the removal of the gar.
bage every day. The daily collec.
tion would fill a dozen long freight
trains and most of it is hauled oui
to sea in canal boats whose bottoms
open and allow the contents to sink
to Davy Jones locker. The lighter
refuse floats, however, and spoils a
lot of the ocean bathing on nearby
beaches. Plans are we'll under way tc
erect huge incinerator plants and
ocean dumping will cease in a few
years.
Another method of disposal has
been to fill up waste spaces. One OF
the most popular, and prettiest, golf
courses here has been created out OF
mosquito-laden swamp near Flush
ing. Few of the golfers realize as
they tramp over the beautiful course
that a few feet below them exists
perhaps the most unsightly collec-
tion of empty tin cans in the world.
The plan could be followed to ad-
vantage by golf clubs out on the
prairies to create rolling courses.
Souvenir Hounds
New Workers, more than the citi-
zens of any other towns it is said,
are keen hunters of souvenirs. If they
are free, so much the better.
AS an indication how people here
go in for souvenirs can be mentioned
the opening of the new Waldorf
Astoria hotel last fall. The manage
ment had three thousand ash trays
made with the initials of the hotel
stamped on them. These were placed
about the new hotel on the opening
day, to save floor coverings and
tables. The next morning it was dis
covered that there was not single
ash tray in the place. Every one had
been carried off by the guests.
Speciality Shops
This city probably has more spe-
ciaity shops than any other place on
earth. Strolling along Fifth Avenue
the other day we passed one shop en-
tirely devoted to selling children's
spectacles. Another caters only TO the
blind; others sell dog and cat Injuries.
Lots of them carry only one kind of
goods, such as cigarettes, orange juice,
nuts, and so on. Of course, there are
the usual haberdashers and lingerie
dealers that one sees i'll every town of
any size.
One Of the larger department stores
here caters almost entirely to children,
the lines for grown-ups being sold
mostly as an accommodation. Then
there is the place where only large
women are catered to while the men
have one chain that sells only pants.
They guarantee to duplicate the mate
rial III any coat and vest you wear.
They do a rushing business.
Religious Tolerance
The other night I attended ban
quet and saw a Jewish Rabbi present
a medal to the Catholic Archbishop
Hanna of San Francisco After the
presentation Rabbi Landman clasped
the Archbishop warmly by the hand
while several Protestant bishops ap-
plauded.
The medal, an annual presentation,
was awarded to the high Catholic
prelate for his work in promoting a
better understanding between Jews
and Christians. "The American He
BREW" periodical, making the
award. Last year Newton D. Baker
was given the medal. Henry Nor
genthau, former Ambassador to
Turkey, was POSTMASTER.
The association is national one
and is devoted to the purpose of
promoting a better understanding"
among the religions. It was voiced
at the banquet that only in this coun-
try could such an organization thrive.
1t did me more good to be there than
to attend church services. believe.
