lage, which in those days was both
romantic and convenient to the pulp
magazine for which I worked. To my
joyous establishment I found suite
of two large rooms, tastefully fur
nished, for about half what similar
accommodations went for everywhere
else in the neighborhood.
I rented it at once. This was on a
quiet Sunday afternoon. For twenty
four hours l rejoiced in~l1y bargain
and then l discovered the catch. A
night club with Spanish decor had the
quarters directly underneath and for
weeks l lived in a strange, half-pleas-
ant bedlam which-in the small, sleep
less hours-slowly took on the ele-
ments of nightmare. From that day
to this whenever I can't sleep | seem
to hear tangoes and the early versions
of music which later was to be called
the rhun1ba; indeed for nearly year
all music sounded Spanish. The morn

York
kjdm1eSASa'elQ

New York, July 1.-Walter Wanger
is going to do a movie about Sind
Street, New York's Montmartre, trac.
ing the thoroughfare through the
sleepy days of early New York when
it was "way uptown" through the Pc
Rod of stiff residential exclusiveness
into it's present boisterous epoch of
confetti. swing music and laughter in
the street at four a. m.
This seems to he swell idea.
When that musical hodge-podge.
"42nd Street." was first announced, I
assumed that Hollywood had got on
to the possibilities of drama and rom
ance inherent in the various boule-
wards of the city, but subsequent
events proved that the title was mere
ly an offhand tag. Wanger, however,
going ten blocks uptown to an even
more colorful passage, plans really
to film the biography of a street.
Fifty-secona Street, once vaguely
fashionable because of w. K. Wander
bits rocco French mansion on the
Fifth Avenue corner, is now about as
undesirable residentially as it's pre-
cursor, The Rue Pigalle, in Paris
Perhaps I ought to make clear at
once that I am not talking about all
of Sind Street, running through from
the Hudson to the East River. I am
thinking, really, of onlv one block
the stretch between Fifth and Sixth
Avenues, and imagine the Street
connotes pretty much the same ter
ritory to Mr.. Wanger.
Nevertheless, socially prominent
folk still live in that gaudy row. There
are the w. r. Lewises, the Setons, the
Simmonses and other bluebloods who
have refused to flee their fiefs be-
cause of the invasion of the tom-tom
thumpers and strip teasers (oh-I for
got; stripping has been. formally ban
ished from the town by edict of the
City Hall Guardians of Virtue)
Living in close proximity to even
one cabaret can do odd things to the
nerves and character. Years ago I was

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

July /, 1757-France had 20 times as
much of North America as Britain, as
an intensive struggle for Canada
began.
Today Frances only possession in
North America is a group of small is
lands, while more territory in this
continent is under the British flag
than that of any other nation-includ-
ing the United States.
Is Years Ago Today-The first
United States taxes were laid upon in

Revenue Bureau was established. The
income levy extended to all incomes
over $500 a year, including. those OF
Federal officials and employees (who
under present laws have made them
selves exempt, so that those drawing
money from the government don't
have to pay income taxes to support

The extraordinary thing about these
taxes were that they were repealed.
One Supreme Court ruled such income
taxes unconstitutional.

1. The United States census reports
of that year showed that one-third of
all native born North Carolinians
were living in other states.
2. When the county was erected in
1911 the act provided that the court
should be held at the home of Gideon

tween Wright and John and Martin

because of definite aid to the COVER
nor in the fight against the Kegula-
tors, won the location however, three
years later it was moved to Richmond
Hill, the Armstrong location, where
it remained until, the county was di-
vided in 1889. sA-b
3. Governor Alexander Martin on
April 10, 1888 made formal announce
ment to the general assembly that His

preme Court handed down such an
