New York, June 25.-One of the
strangest books 1 have read in months
is a volume about New York written
! in 1880 by Paul Morand MT. Morand,
is a Frenchman and his Manhattan
revelations, coming to my eye off the
stall, of a secondhand book-dealer,
make me wonder whether any for
eigner ever is able to go to a great
strange city and report the pheno-
mena he encounters accurately.
Is the stuff which Americans Gin
Guiding this reporter) have written
about Paris, Berlin and Vienna to be
trusted? Or is it all so romanticized
and ping-goggled that it is no more
factual than the comments of for
eigners visiting New York-and, for
that matter Chicago and San Fran
cisco? My impression is that outland-
ers may be interesting and glamorous,
but they seldom escape writing good
deal of nonsense.
M. Morand's book is we'll written,
like all his composition; it is color
full and full of enthusiasm. Yet it con-
tains a number of disclosures which
no native New Yorker could hear
without laughing.
For example, he would have you
believe that the good burghers who
go to Coney Island of Sunday to
peel bananas are in the habit Of
traipsing through the surf in the
nude This is so far from the truth
that the publishers were constrained
to soften the statement with a foot
. note.
And later on Morand reports visit
to Harlem, during which, at the wit
ching hour before dawn, several sepia
hays invade a night club as the cry
of Hot Stockings" goes up and the
brownskin chorines rush to purchase,
for a song, the hosiery which has
been stolen from the towns depart
ment stores during the day. He inn
plies that this a routine affair.
The book is full of startling, i'm
aginatiVe and nonsensical items IN
that vein. 1t makes me wonder Wheth-
er some of the things 1 thought 1 saw
in Paris and Berlin were actually or
illusion.

Schools in New York will teach children table manners. Eating properly is a task that tries ev- eryone now and then. It is said that the Hindus bathe in public but eat in private, which is jus tifiable when the efforts of some eaters are noted. In that connec ton, one might recall the incl dent of the sailor who, when re- proved for drinking his soup in stead of handling it with a spoon, asked what use there was in talk ing on the cargo by count when it could just as well be loaded in bulk.

The intricate pattern of red and black lines and cross lines, angles and circles which now decorates the gymnasium floor would seem to the uninitiated like a huge Chinese puzzle, but to those Gin the know" the complicated fig ures resolve themselves into the for a baseball diamond and basketball court. City Engi- neer Bob Lyle laid out the lines last Saturday and they were painted this week by Ernest Buckmaster. The baseball dia- mond seems very small but it is the regulation size for indoor baseball. The basketball court for girls is the regulation three court size. The baseball back stop screen is being erected and will be completed this week. It was expected that practices for the various baseball teams would begin this week, but the floor was not completed.

An ancient skull from the Al. aSkan islands has been measured in the Smithsonian Institution & found to have the largest brain capacity known to science. The poet Gray looked over the tomb stones in an English churchyard and wrote down some interesting sayings about mute inglorious Miltons and hands that the rod of empire might have swayed. What did the Alaskan old timer with the big mind make out of his life? Probably he passed his time stabbing seals with a stone spear and repairing his skin tent or ice shack. All that he lacked was opportunity. It is worth something. after all, to be living m 1886.

Current Comments Written From
 Washington
Especial Correspondence)

One of the campaign promises is federal law against lynching. In describing what goes on in the jury room during a murder trial, a humorist said that one of the first questions that had to be set tied was: Does the prisoner look as though he deserves to be hang ed? Lynchings have not been based on causes so thin as that, but the records show that men have been put out of the way summarily for stealing turpen- tine and bootlegging. About 5000 persons have been lynched in the United States in the last 54 years. The year 1892 was the peak per- lod, with a score of 231. The general trend is downward, 20 lynchingS in tWelve-month being a rough average at present. even that number is too large. Though vote getting may have little to do with the campaign promise the ultimate result like ly to be accomplished is sound and wholesome.

The wooden leg dealers, in con vention assembled, inform the world that losing a leg is not much worse than losing ones teeth, a statement which, altho somewhat eXtravagant on it's face may rea.ly have something be- hind it. President Roosevelt, for example, is known to have ser ious disability of the lower limbs, but nobody marks that fact up against him as a disqualification for office.

Hybla Valley yesterday in which
Omar Hickman, 40, of the 1900
block of Shannon Pl. S. E., was
