BY WAYNE KING

New Workers are people who come out of holes in the ground, then are swallowed up in nearby office bulld- ings, leaving the streets deserted.
 That is the way they first Ap. peared to me, and that A how l shall remember them.
 During my stay here I have found New Workers to be just aB pleasant and friendly aS their cousins in Davenport and Decatur.
 All my life I believed that every- thing big either started or ended in New York. It, to me, was, and still is, the center of oil big happenings whether political, business or mus sical. It has always been an ambt- ton of mine to come here just as any other visitor and take in all Of the sights and spots of interest. FIy.by.nlSh6
 The other evening I heard that the Hindenberg was about to pass over tho hotel, so I stationed two bus boys on tho terrace with in. structions to notify me the minute the huge dirigible was sighted, All evening had been Anxi0tibly awaiting Q glimpse of this gigantic airliner.
 When I was notified that it was about to fly over the city, l stop. cd the music and told the guests thnt if they would go to the ter. race they could enjoy this unusual sight.
 l rushed to the terrace think ing it would be rather crowded, but to my amazement not more than three people deignod to catch this thrilling sight.
 do not agree that tho lack of interest is caused by any blase atti- tude on the part of the New Workers but I sincerely think that they take these occurrences aB part Of their regular lives. They are rather accus- toned to unusual daily happenings World Of Interest
 My particular hobbies and enJoy- monts are playing golf and taking snapshots.
 New York affords c vsritabls paradise for the camera enthusi' ast. one can take pictures of tho human interest studies, beauties ol nature, or the maTvels of mankind without leaving tho Island of Man. hattan. Nor iB the enthusiast limited to American pictures, as you finc practically every race and creed ir some section or another of the city
 The other day I gtrolled through the narrow, smelly, yet pictuT' eBque streets of Chinatown, visiting typical oriental shops and anappinl pictures of unbelievable sights When these photos are finished know that will have . hard tims convincing anyone that they werl ever taken a few miles from tho a. nancial center of the world.
 4 few blocks farther, crossing thu Bowery, I found myself in the cen ter of Little Italy" It is dificul for anyone like myself from . smal town, to imagine such numbers Q human beings crowded in one BTial area. It Is impressive to sec tn IgflCCEAul 1NItAgD VII bibo ANCGA " bht dividuals. They seem to smile, but doubt they would have much ti smile about # they could get . per spective on themselves.
 But, as far as that is concerned the friendliness of all sorts of Nes } Workers to us during our stay her ] has been surprising. Before cominI here we had always heard that tn Big City was cold, calculating an distant.
 We found 1t to possess none Q these characteristics. Whether it 1 on the street, in the radio studit or on the dance floor, we have ye to meet anyone who has not beel more friendly and extremely willin to help us in every possible way. New York does itg utmost to mak . stranger feel at home. There . only one New York,
