Uptown New York"
Shown 1T Columbia.

NO place makes a better setting for
small-town story than New
York. There Is so much of what the
writing boys call character stuff"
floating around in the neighborly
subdivisions which make up the city
that any Of them who have the time
to walk about a bit with their eyes
and ears open usually get back to
the garret laden with more ideas
than they can shake a stick at-or
a pen either, for that matter.
At that point they have to decide
which inspiration will make the best
story. Usually they select the wrong
one. but Miss Vina Delmar, who re-
solved some time ago to find out
what goes on inside shop girls and
the boys who spend their youth
draped around the lamp posts of
drugstore corners, seems to have
made felicitous choice.
Her tale of Uptown New York."
playing at Loew's Columbia this
week, is set in the rustic domains
above West One Hundred and Tenth
street. Embellished with realistic
dialogue and the sincere mummery
OF Jack Oakie and Shirley Grey, the
history Of a penny chewing gum
magnate and his working girl sweet
heart, who love each other both
wisely and well, overcomes its occa-
s1onal faults of direction and pathos
to become a pleasant program piece.
While there is no explaining why
Shlr.ey Grey can get Smacked by a
five-ton truck without besmirching
her smock or turning q hair, why
Hero Oakie can wear $50 tailored
suits when his chewing gum income
seems to be about $40 a week, or
why, OF all things, in this day and
age any one would fail to shear and
make bonfire of the slushy hospital
scene in this picture, the higher
lights of Uptown New York; are
swell comedy, indeed.
II you fail to get enough laughs

sonating. or sufficient heart throbs
from Miss Grey,s lazy languors,

BOARDS TO STUDY
REALTY TAXATION
National Association Will
Weigh Proposals for Se-
curing Relief.

Proposals for relief of owners of real
taxation it now carries will be among
matters to be brought before the an
nual convention of the Natiopal Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards here
next month.
A proposed national real estate tax
program now is being drafted by the
association, on the basis Of an extend

Gasoline Tax Funds.
One of the subjects studied was that
Of the application Of gasoline tax
funds Herbert U. Nelson. executive
secretary of the national body, this
week made public the findings of re-
cent inquiry addressed to State high
way commissioners of the various
States.
In IS States some expenditure is
made from State-collected gasoline and
motor vehicle taxes, either or both. for
the construction and maintenance Of
CITY streets. he reports.
In % States, the cities get back moth
ing whatever from these State tax
levies. even for that portion Of their
streets which are connecting links for
trunk line State highways. One Of these
States is soon to join the list of 25.
Allotments Mount.
Recent legislation. some of it not
yet in effect, has brought increase in
Mr.. Nelson reports. Already. in a
number of States, there is fairly dis
tinct recognition of the principle that
streets in cities are as much a part OF
the State highway system as are the
country roads, and should be so con-
sidered.
I'VE are entering a period when the
largest portion of essential highway
building is behind us. This fact is
changing the whole situation in regard
to the feasibility of using gasoline and
vehicle tax funds for street mainte-
nance as we'll as for the maintenance
of rural highways"
District Situation.
In the District of Columbia the
whole Of the gasoline tax is used for
street and highway improvements and
the tax on motor vehicles. both license
and personal property taxes, goes into
tho Districts general revenue fund.
The situation is different in both
Maryland and Virginia The City of
Baltimore gets 20 per cent, both of the
net gasoline tax income and the motor
vehicle tax total of the State, the
realtor survey shows. The Baltimore
share CT the gasoline tax alone for the
last fiscal year totaled s583,73l89
Virginia is listed by the realtors as

of State gasoline and motor vehicle
taxes for street purposes is limited to
such streets as ere connecting links Of
the States highway system.
In Virginia. the report continues.
cities of more than $500 population get
$500 per mile for State highways
passing through them, one-third Of
this sum coming from automobile IL
cense fees, and the rest from the gaso-
line tax. In smaller cities the State
builds such streets.

Of caterpillar once in great while in
creaSeS in numbers until all the food in
one place is eaten and then it marches
in a great army, eating as it goes, to
the next field to strip that of all growing
green things it is called the Armyworm.
Peter and Mrs. Peter and the Dummies
didn't stop to look back. They were In
too much of a hurry to reach the edge
of the Green Forest. 1t was too open
out there on the Green Meadows. Yes,
sir, it was too open to be safe. So they
ran ipperty- -lipperty-lip, as fast as they
could, which wasn't SO very fast be-
cause of those little Dummies. 1t was
with a sigh of thankfulness that at last
little Mrs. Peter led the five into a
bramble-tangle.
Now that the family was safe Peter
became curious to know what was hap
pening on the Green Meadows. so he
went back to where he could look
across to the dear Old Briar-patch and
beyond to Farmer Browns cornfield.
At once he discovered Farmer Brown
and Farmer Browns Boy hard at work.
They had moved deep furrow and now
hey we're digging. Peter wondered what
for After while they were joined
by two men from neighboring farm
who also began to dig. How those
shovels rose and fell, tossing the brown
earth out of long ditch! Peter was
SO interested in watching them that for
a time he quite forgot the Armyworms.
Yes, sir, he quite forgot that army that
had driven him from home.
When he did think of it again and
looked to see where it was he saw that
it was halfway between the dear Old
Briar-patch and the place where those
men were working so hard
Il guess they will stop working when
that army gets there" thought Peter.
It didn't enter his head that what those
men were doing had anything to do with
that hungry, marching army Of cater
pillars. He waited and watched and
wondered what those men would do
when the army got to them and if
Farmer Browns cornf1eld would be
eaten as bare as that great strip from
the Old Pasture across the Green
Meadows.
Nothing can stop them," thought
Peter.

~ ETER RABBIT, little Mrs Peter
u and five little Dummies were
leaving the Old Briar-patch
i They were not exactly fleeing
for their lives, but they were
not going because they wanted to-
They were being driven out and there
was nothing they could do about II
but go. An army was driving them out.
Yes, sir, an army was driving therl out
1t was an army that crawled and ate
as it crawled, for that is what it was
crawling for-to eat. 1t was an army,
nightly army, of caterpillars, and where
that army had passed there was no
green thing left.
Had any one ever told Peter that the
time would come when he would run
away from caterpillars he would have
scorned such an idea All his life long
he had seen caterpillars of many kinds

and too harmless to be noticed. That
they were food for birds Peter knew,
and that was about all he did know OF
them. That they could possibly be OF
any real concern to him he never
dreamed, much less that he would ever
sun away from his home because OF
them. But then he never had seen an
army of them.
There is saying that ''in union there

family had been forced against their
will to leave their home in the dear

yet not one of that army was much over

and SO helpless that had Peter stepped

TINE life of the sea urchin Is any,
thing but monotonous. Why
should it be, with 5000 prickles
i to protect 1t and feet to take 1t
over sand and slippery rocks.
If more speed Is required he can walk
on the prickles! If the water is rough
he lets 1t toss him about and when he
tires Of this he uses his suction feet to
stay on the beach and get away before
the next wave catches him.
He looks like a small hedgehog. He
cannot uncurl and his spines are fixed.
His enemies are few, for not many fish
would tackle a live pincushion and ex-
pect to live through the experience.
His cousin. the star fish, is his only en-
