THE VOICE OF
Broadway
BY Louis SObOl-
Down Memory Lane
With Albert SpdIding

I was an ordinary looking child,
undersized for my age, but with a
kind of restless and wiry energy
that was always getting me into
scrapes and accidents. For this
reason my appearance must al
ways have been messy in the eX-
treme and the condition of my
clothes such as to try the patience
of any mother.
My brother-there were just
the two boys in the family-was
older, larger, more intelligent, bet
ter looking and also more careful
than myself. We were great
friends with our neighbors on the
Jersey shore where summers were
usually spent. Four boys in this
family Of ages in and around ours
They were Titans, gigantic in
size and strength.
The one nearest my own age,
Warren, filled me with envious
terror, as well as ardent admira-
ton.
True, he couldn't play the violin
and I could, but that was a doubt
full advantage among boys. l re-
member once on a dare having to
stand up against him in the
manly art. 1t was agreed that I
would win the contest if I could
endure go seconds-one whole
minute-of his battering rams.
Needless to say, I couldn't!
Warren was later, as a young
man, to win the amateur heavy
weight championship and still
later to enter the more savage
arena Of politics as U. S. Senator
from New Jersey succeeding the
late Dwight Morrow-his name is
william Warren Barbour.

EVERY FOURTH
WORK DAY

"Americans must work nearly one full
year out of every eight-or about six
weeks out of every year-just to pay the
cost of the Federal government" says
the United States News.
"When the local and state government
costs are added to the expenditures
of the national government, the average
American must work two years out of
every eight to pay the cost of govern
ment."
The tax collector gets a cut in every
pay check. His unseen hand reaches in
and takes part of all the money you
spend-for food, amusement, clothing,
train fare, power service. And his per-
centage is today greater than it ever
was in peace time in this country.
The Twentieth Century Fund estimates
that total government costs have swelled
to $17,000,000,000 year. That is ap-
proximately 25 per cent of the national
income in good times. When you work
four weeks, the public treasures take
your earnings for one of the weeks.
During the next year or so we are 60
ing to make or break" so far as the
tax problem is concerned. Every branch
of government spending must be checp
ed, from the national capital to the city
hall. We will have a let-up in tax boost
ing when, and only when, the voice of the
people demands it.

THE ELDERS SET AN EXAMPLE
FOR THE YOUNGER GENERATION

The other day this columnist was in
intimate conversation with an older cou-
pie preparing to go abroad. The man is
6S. The wife is about 65. He has been
lame many years of his life, while she
only three months ago, underwent a
serious operation. Both were en- route
to Europe to study conditions.
There isn't anything so unusual in
people going abroad. The fact that this
couple is older does place them a bit out
of the ordinary That they are physical
ly handicapped makes the story more
unusual. Add to this the facts that they
are going, not because they must, but
purely because they want to; and that
to save time they climbed aboard trans
continental airplane to New York just
as unconcerned as though they were
driving downtown for movie, completes
the picture.
Here we have many enviable qualities
exemplified. First is the mental stamina
to overcome physical ailment at all costs.
Next is the courage to do things that
many younger couple looks at with
fear Last and not least, is the enthus-
iasm in studies which interest them,
possibly the most to be envied of all the
traits.
1t has been said that age is not measur-
ed in years, but in the degree we retain
capacity for enthusiasm. That's not a
bad yardstick, and measured by it, these
two, though grandparents many times
over, are indeed young.

that make it possible for the farmer to

New York Day by Day

NEW YORK, Aug. 19-They are

friends and admirers to pay tribute
to Tommy Gray, gone these ten
years. Tommy was one of the
Broadway gallants, true wit, actor,
song writer and a light hearted
churl along the buoyant boulevard.
His boon companion and conf.
dant was the equally beloved Slime
Silverman, of Variety. Slime liked
nothing better than to corral Tom
my, pilot him to the far away
corner of a grill, surround him with
congenial companions and let him
yentilate his amusing observations.
Tommy came back from England
one time wearing the first gray
derby the town had ever seen out
side the English picture papers. One
of his memorable mots was made q
sunny morning when he passed Lee
Shubert and Marcus Loew on a
Clarfdge corner in earnest talk. AS
he swung by he called Hi Lee, Hi
Loew." --.,
He was just getting into his
proper niche-with producers seek
ing his lines-when he fell i'll and
passed away. Among the other
Broadway wits who have given
freely and gratuitously of their hu-
NOR were Dave Montgomery's broth
ers, Scamp, and Frisco.
