In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New York, May l3-Manhattan Medley: The most worried men in New York are the radio comedians who earn fabulous salaries for Q haif-hour's work each week. They brood constantly about this gag and that punch line. Jack Benney was telling Phil Baker the other after. noon that he doesn't listen to his colleagues programs because he can't bear to think of the prelimin- ary agony in every laugh.
 My favorite example of e man leading Q double life is Newman Levy who writes light verse and humorous doggerel and during office hours is buy aS Q, brilliant attorney in murder trials and general legal practice.
 Maritime Fashion Note: The prov of the Normandie, back on her reg ular run, no longer sticks out into the roadway of West street.
 Jimmy Cagney is visiting his brother, Q popular physician in Q Manhattan suburb. Suddenly, true ant patients have begun to storm the waiting room, with their own prescriptions for on autograph.
 If visitors want c glimpse of cele- britieS in their parental moments, they have only to loiter on the curb of the City and Country School for Children. The school is . Opera. tive for the offspring of famous people and on almost any day of the week, 1t is possible to see Mir jam Hopkins leading her adopted son to the classroom, or George g.. Kaufman, Evelyn Preston and Franklin P. Adams marching their brides and joys in for some book larnin'.
 Walking Weight Away
 Bernarr MacFadden, high priest of the Body Beautiful, Is the lead- CT of the newest weight reducing system. To get back that trim fig- ure, the ardent physical culturlst argues, take Q good, long walk. So he's arranged one for himself and his followers. They are setting out on lB-day hike over 4l0 miles from Manhattan to Dansville, New York with no other refreshment ex- cept cracked wheat and @ thirst quencher. Among the weight filters Joining the expedition, there are Q deputy police inspector from Cleve- land, c sailor from Texas and c mail-carrier from Connecticut.
 Add to strange occupations: The midtown cobbler who specializes in fitting high heels into the shoes of diminutive gentlemen, self-con- scious about their pint size.
 That was Leslie Howard pausing near the Gotham at Fifth avenue to adniringly survey the horse of Q mounted policeman. A fanatical horsenan, he has just shipped Q consignment of Texan polo ponies to his estate in England. Towards secretary, by the way, is an expert poloist, and was employed for that reason.
 There were we, quoting Red Nichols several columns back, pre- dieting the death of Swing" music and now, Le Jazz Hot is on the concert stage.
 Tn his forthcoming encyclopedia on American slang, H. L. Menck- en, I'm told, attributes the term Hot Dog to Jack Doyle, proprie- tor of the famed Doyle's Broad way Billiard Parlor, authority or all gambling odds and 8 veteran of New York. Harry Stevens. thu ball park concessionaire, had al' ways been credited with the Ho Dog phrase.

 Rust Brothers /
 The Rust Brothers, inventors of the cotton picking machine which threatens to revolutoinize the south, have been urged to incor- porate their new company under an act of congress.
 The incorporation would state that whereas this new machine may throw several thousand peos pie out of work: whereas 1t must be developed for the best Interests of the country; therefore 1t shall be leased only to cotton producers who make proper restitution to their workers in hours and wages for the savings accomplished by this machine.
 Orgy
 when President Roosevelt dedi- cated the new Interior Department building, he laid the cornerstone with Q trowel used by George Washington. This, he said in his speech, was "a good augury". However, when a transcript of the proceedings of the ceremony was sent to Representative Maury Maverick for insertion in tho Con- gressional Record he noticed that the word 'augury" had undergone Q transformation. In the manu- script 1t read "a good orgy".
 The Texan first corrected 1t then wrote the President a stern note to reprimand, chiding him on his laxity of speech.
 "Thls carelessness," he said, ''might easily have preCipitated Q Roman holiday of derlsiOn from republican peerers."
 The next day Maverick received a reply from the White House. "I don't see why you changed it, Maury," the President wrote. T think the speech was much betetr uncorrected. After all, people would be much more interested in an orgy than in an augury. How ever, I suppose you know best"

 Some time ego, President Trus jlIIO wanted tO extend the sus. pension of payments on D0nllni- can bonds held by Q. S. citi- EeHls. Since the bonds are guars anteed by Dominican customs and since Roosevelt appoints the collector of customs, Joe Da- vies went Co his old friend in tho White House. The bond pay- maents were suspended. Joe's fec in payment was the neat sum of ezS0,00O.
 About this time he and his first wife were divorced and he married Mrs. Hutton with whom he went on Q honeymoon trip on her mile lion dollar yacht Husgar, built in Germany. Enroute they anchored off Ganto Domingo.
 President Trujillo came abroad, inspected the vessed, said that he thought he would buy one too.

Dan- fuente returned to santo Domingo after the indictment, and although lacking military training iynmedi- ately was made Q lieutenant in the Army.

curtains of the alcove.
Asa Wyatt came back in with
an armful OF wood, stocked the
stove, and sat down heavily. He

Both were acutely miserable. Asa,
despite his extensive experience

Jim Ogden gulped. Nurse Ken

started to follow the doctor and

road that led to the Wyatt's I'M

shooing children out from under

from the curtained alcove. He
nodded briefly to Nurse Kennedy
and began to wash his hands at a
washstand in the corner.

Asa obediently began herding

had gotten the flock as far as the

he began protest. Listen,
