selves in the hotels of New York.
That is especially true of the older
taverns of the town. Whenever an
old inn succumbs to the pressure
OF time many such tales are re-
vealed. Occasionally they come out
through other agencies. There was
the case of Mrs. Ida May Wood
whose story was revealed when her
nephew brought proceedings to have
her declared incompetent For many
years, though once the belle of New
York. she lived alone in G room in
a modest midtown hotel seeing only
an occasional chambermaio or bell
boy and existing on food she carried
in paper bags. Investigation dis
closed the fact that she had on her
person and hidden in the room more
than a million dollars In cash and
securities. She died not so long after
her case became known and her es-
tate is now awaiting settlement in
Surrogate's court, number of
claimants having appeared.
In midtown hotel, which has
considerable social prestige, little
old gentlewoman took a room II
years ago. She has occupied that
same room ever since. She always
refused to admit any hotel help on
the plea that she wanted nothing
disturbed Attempts to prevail on
her to have the room redecorated
fell on deaf ears. Changes in man.
agement made no difference Finally,
along came young and alert man.
ager who determined to nave the en-
tire hotel renovated. The gentle
woman objected strenuously. The
manager was firm. The guest was
equally so. Finally he Informed her
that unless she would consent to
have her room done, she would have
to move out on certain date. If
she gave her consent, he promised
everything would be put back exact
ly as it had been. On that condi.
tion the guest took up temporary
quarters in another room.
When the decorators had finished,
the manager took the guest back to
her room. She made a careful In
spection, then turned on him indig-
nantly. One of the pictures had
been put on the wrong wall. A
couple of minutes work satisfied her
and she has settled down apparently
secure in the thought that she won't
be disturbed again for At least IL
years.
The recent shooting Of a chow
by a count in an apartment house
corridor, with subsequent court pro-
ceedings, brings TO mind the fact
that daily elevator trouble occurs
in fashionable residential rotel
where guests are allowed to keep

Speaking of back to the land,
there's that shack colony III the Jer-

famous stretches of salt marsh
which are still un-reclaimed despite
the many plans that have been ad-

far as this writer knows, nothing

Berlin-Under Hitler, the posi- ton of German women Is rapidly undergoing a decided change, Wo- men, according to the Maxi creed. have but one fundamental duty: to breed sons for the German state.
 The campaign to get women out of business is very active. One of it's chief weapons is a govern ment offer of 1000 marks (s250) to every woman who marries-and quits her job.
 This proposal. 1t is reported. is not meeting with overwhelming success. Its apparent generosity doesn't bear inspection. even in docile Germany.
 It is safe to predict that it is women who will eventr-.lly suffer most under Hitlerism. One of day on the Belgian sea-coast, bronze and fit, said to your cor respondent. with a sigh: "Ah, in Belgium, it was Paradise!" Then she added, significantly, No poll tics!" .e.
 But they keep on anyhow, these German women, healthy-iooking, robust, cheerful, cooking good big meals for their, families, standing by Loyalty while their men-folk squabble over distractions of gov- ernment. Lacking something per- haps in coquetry. they make it up in comradeship and zest for life. Operation of Hitler's
 Proposed Caste System
 Under the Hitler program, 1t is the German women who must suffer anyhow, whether or not Ger many ever is able to go war again. For the Hitler program reduces "materialism" to a minor place in the national life. Patriotic fervor for the state is to take its place.
 Since 1t is ''materialism" which makes life easy for women, by la bor-saving devices, by a good standard of living, the rejection of it falls hardest on them. Sacri- fees for patriotism are splendid but somebody has to make the meals and wash the dishes and produce the babies.
 It is these little chores that Adolph Hitler envisages as most

Good Evening.

NOW AND THEN

In days of old. at least we're told
 Young folks had better time; They drank sodas at the corner store And never heard of gin with lime. A gal who smoked or took drink
 Was thought to be rather shady; Folks looked at her askance
 And said she was no lady. It all seems flat to the modern bunch
 In this age of ballyhoo; What laugh when you hear
 The old-time gag. skidoo. No speakeases hidden in every block
 No gangsters all over the lot A racket was unknown then and Few were put on the spot. Not that the olden days were perfect
 Each age reaches new low. And the ones today who're on the top
 Tomorrow will be de trop.
