 New York Movers Increased prices have made October moving days a serious problem for the less prosperous Greenwich Vallagers. Therefore, artists and writers of the neighborhood have taken Move Yourself" as their slogan. The result has been a new type of hand-moving. The crooked streets of the neighborhood afford a regular, parade of men and wo- men, carrying hampers, curtains on poles, arm loads of clothes still on hangers. baskets of gaudy bath room bottles, handmade knick- knacks and loads of sheet music, books, shoes and hat boxes. Some gave moving parties" and enlisted their willing guests to help carry their lares and Penates to new quarters. ...
 Howard Dalton, popular song writer, had perhaps the nest orig inal idea. On a late Saturday night the new tenants in his apart- ment moved right in on him uil- expectedly before he had had 8 chance to move out. He preached the subject to the nov CTS of turning around and moving his stuff. They refused, wanted to get home. So Howard asked them all to party going on dewn- stairs-and sent cut for more spirits. The movers caught his mood after an hour of dancing with the girls present and about 3 a. m. invited everybody present to help move Howard. =. !. They all fell to, and by 4 a. m. he was not only in his new quarters, but practically settled. !. Then the scrambled eggs, sausages and cot- | fee at Childs'--on Howard. The movers refused to take a cent of pay. Never had had
 such 6 good time, they de-
 clared. Offered to move him
 free next year, toe!
 At a dinner at the home of Frances Adams (the artist) | the other evening, a minor revo- lution was threatened when Carle- ton Beals, Joseph Freeman, ken- meth Durant and other liberals and radicals told Upton Sinclair to his face just what they thought, personally, of his movie, "Thun- der Over Mexico" Old Art Young, probably the most lovable artist and cartoonist who ever drew breath, saved the day. In from Connecticut for the event, Art in his mellow way softened everybody when things got hottest by putting on what his Friends call his Ms slssippi Senator" manner and do- ing an impromptu tdke-off on just how to break up dinner party through being too polite In this he talks in glowing terms to the guest -honor's second wite twithout knowing who she is) about how wonderful first wife he had. Then he moves over anu condemns divorce In ringing terms to famous four-ex-husband lady.
 Art Young lives In Danbury, Conn, now, In rooms lined with the originals of his pictures and cartoons that appeared In most of Americas best publications, Tn years gone by,
 Naming the Streets
 The mechanical way in which New York gets It's phone change names (they are scientifically con | COCLGu TUT tIltiT 'S'f to make diallng possible) Is a far cry from the natural way some old New York streets got their appel . latlons. ..
 Pearl street was so called be- cause in olden days 1t used to he piled high with pearl shells. Vesoy took It's name from the Rev W. Vesey, who preached his first ser mon there In Trinity church bacl; in 1897. Chinatowh's two mpin streets, Pell and Mott. aren't Chi- nese names at all; two American butchers. respectively named Pe!l and Mott .'once had shops In tn" neighborhood. Beaver street wns the original fur ccntor 0. Gotham. when beaver was one of the chlef furs bnrterei.
