In New York
By GEORGE ROSS

New York, Aug. i0.-Tho streets Of Manhattan arc being turned into a trackleBs paradise Of bouleVAFdB for tho motorist. Streetscars are go- ing the way of the rickety horBes car, and sleek buses purr their way through traffic with feiiO agility where once rattling trans clattered along tho rails.
 Almost as fast as the BtreetcarS arc replaced an army of workmOn teams up the now useless tracks, then replaces them with smooth paving for myriad cars and trucks to speed on in the endless race up. town and down.
 Oddly enough, Broadway is one of the last stronghoids of the old street car. Tn the vicinity of Times Square, visitors may enjoy tho An. tique delight of riding on rails. If you hurry, you'll probably got Q chance to rido them; but in ans other season you'll probably have to 60 Into the suburbs to show the children how gTandsappy toured the town when he came ot see Wall Street way back In the boom days of 20.
 All Types of Pets
 Visitors to the charming Marl- boro- GOT. .Kudson home and work. shop of Frederic w. 0oudy, Amers ica'B foremost designer of type faces, are apt to Do startled when they are greeted by 0 FaucouS chorus of BquawkB, whistles, Bqueaks and barks heard against Q counter -melody of assorted rnee-owS. The clamor, com. ing oddly from tho quiet dignity of tho old house in It's sylvan setting in the foothills of the CGtskillS, will Do merely greeting from the Cloudy pets.
 There are about seven cats, most. ly of the tailleBS Manx variety, and m equal number of dogs. The vital statistics vary with the arrival and departure of sundry kittens and pups. Then there are some thirty odd kinds of birds. It iB the latter, especially tho parrots and cockatoos, who are the real welkin.ringerS of the menage.
 While Mir. 0oudy's genius aS c type designer has brought him sufilcient monetary reward to pro. clude his being eaten out of house and homo, his pets did crowd the family out of the nice, old.fashioned kitchen. This space now is given over to the dog kennels and the Cloudy cooking is done in . com. parative cubby.hoie of kitchen elsewhere in the house. The birds hold their cacaphonous conventions in c large screened sun.parlor con. verted into an aviary. Threatened by increases in the animal populGs ton, MT. doudy may Do forced to build c new wing on the house.
 AdVersltles of Anthony
 fIervey Allen, author of Anthony Adverse" Is here from his farm near Syracuse but doesn't look especially happy about 1t all, partly because he didn't want to leave . 3sweekSsold son and partly because the trip in. terferes with his work on "Action at Aquila," the Civil War story he's working on right now.
 MT. Alien would rather not talk about Anthony these days. He was in Hollywood for the world premiere of the film that was fashioned from his i250-page novel, but he didn't attend and he didn't turn on the radio to hear Q report of the event. either.
 MT. Allen isn't as unhappy about what Hollywood did with his book as the average author generally is It took him quite 6 while to get used to the idea of Fredric March as the hero, but he finally got tha' strengthened out in his mind. Ae never was pleased, however, witf Rollo Lloyd as Napoleon. It geemi Allen is Q Napoleon fan and Rolls Lloyd simply doesn't measure up tt the authors conception of what th' | little annuarof WaR like. HE fnVOritt
