New York, Sept. 24.-These weary

us as though Park avenue Is going

Broadway Is going Park avenue.
We sat In q Park avenue oasis
the other night where o song

sedately plays and q headwaiter
helplessly yawns while the Gus
toners bear their ennui as best
they can.
The proprietor came over. II

said, "but I can't help II. It's all
too goshawful dull. Next month
I'm hiring Louis Prima and his

night around here with swingl"
Now II that were the only In

And let the dowagers, matrons and
corporate heads protest all they can,

Then there's the case Of the
staid old Delmonico, where hauteur

happens now? Well, Harry Rich

Along with the many wonders Of

So Japino was forced upon the

COVERED BRIDGES
(Hoston post)


The old covered bridge, famed IN
story and song, still remains to de-
light thousands Of tourists and the
many New England lovers Of an
Equities. The most recent survey
shows that there are still 26 Of the
covered bridges In sachusetts,
about the same number In Maine.
while Connecticut can boast Of seven
In disable condition, and Rhode
Island Of nine. Vermont and New
Hampshire, too, have been carefully
preserving their covered spans.
Mecca Of many Of the admirers OF
the old bridges Is the historic Long
bridge at Charlemont, said to be the
oldest Of ell, as well as the narrowest
and darkest. Sentiment still plays o
large part In our New England life.
The wonders of modern engineering
cannot dim these proud evidences Of
the pioneering days.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 30.-Johns
Hopkins University. which used te
count itself lucky to have so grid
iron aspirants, eliminated the
money angle" from the game two
years ago-and now has more than
500 students playing football-the
intramural variety.
Out of student body of 900, more
than half are members of regular
teams. OF those who don't play, 100
are ineligible because they play or
varsity teams and another 200 are
freshmen who are confined to the
sidelines through lack of playing
space.
DR.. G. Wilson Shaffer, athletic
director, inaugurated the system in
1884. He reported enthusiastically
today:
'"The game is booming at Johns
Hopkins like never before.
1--WE haven't de-emphasized sports
especially football-at all. We just
took the money angle away from the
games and in consequence, we have
greater athletic program than ever
before"
Two years ago, the college began
playing its games without charging
admission, paid no expenses for Wis
iting teams and asked none when its
teams took to the road.
Now the varsity eleven-which has
just completed its most successful
season in 10 years by winning four
games, losing one and tying one
almost has become by-product of
the intramural program.
