Xiques' trade stems from the flop-houses in the nondescript Bowery, but from uptown where vanity is fancied.
 He speaks smugly of the folk who have come down in expensive cars from Park Avenue to have sinners camouflaged, and he likes to tell about the silk-sheath- ed beauties who sneak down to his atelier to have few bruises and a wounded optic well dis guised.
 As C matter of fact, two out of ten patients are women. That will give you some idea of the status of chivalry in Manhattan. In a specialized occupation like Dr. Xiques', discretion is the better part of valor. For example, he has never smiled when the patient ex- plained that the bedpost, the doorknob or the phone receiver hit him. And he is resigned to the slamming taxi door, also. For save in the cases of unabashed pugilists, none of his patients ever has confessed to being the receiving end of bare fist.
 Disgusting a black eye is an art with an orthodox background; the secret has been in Dr. Xiques' family for three generations-but he is the last, probably, who ever will pursue it. After he bows out, folk will have to go back to raw beefsteaks, though Dr. Xiques frowns upcn a prime cut as an effective curative. He says you may as we'll decorate a black eye with filet mignon or entrecote! LINERS BRING WAR
 CLOSER TO NEW WORKERS
 To the casual New Yorker who does not pursue the martial news too strenuously, the war seems too far away for large concern and steady scrutiny. But to those who drive along the express highway that paralellels the Hudson, the European conflagration comes in- to uncomfortable proximity.
 For there are berthed the flag ships of the Allies merchant fleets, both the Queen Mary and the Normandie, the vessels of neutral Italy and those of other non-combatants' lines.
 Only a few days ago, the Queen Mary had her original outer dec- oration and regal hues. But yes- terday she has been repainted a dull battleship gray from stern to stern-a ghost ship at her pier. Nearby the Normandie seemed to be scaffolded for the painters. Europe comes into closer range on the ramp off the river.
 EUROPE'S MADE PACE KEEPS LYRIC WRITERS HOPPING
 This is no time, at least one Broadway show has learned, to cope with current events, for the scenes in Europe shift too fast to keep apace with them. For more than year and half, that lively little show Pins and Needless has caught up with the fast-moving events abroad. The dictators have sung new refrains almost dozen times since the premier, and the lyric writers have kept abreast of the news almost as fast as the news cleared the cable wires. Now audiences at Pins and Needles" hear "der Fuehrer" warbling:
 Though I've started the war In the Poles Corridor, Believe me, it's quite a sur-
 prise.
 The Allies got tough Ah.
 And at last called my blun- Now I'm Danzig with tears
 in my eyes!"
 And "Mussolini" is moaning: "Once Herr Hitler and me
 Were like this, you'll agree, With no other lover to harm us.
 Then a Russian named Joe Laid our whole romance low I'll sue him yet for breach ~A

New York, Sept. 2l-"Doctor" Edward Xiques, an amiable Greek who plies his practice amidst the flop-houses on the Bowery, huns "Ch' chonya" with amusement in his voice. "CCh' chonya" is Rus sian for "dark eyes" and the song there, is a musical trademark for

What Is A War Munition?

Man is an ingenious sort of cuss, espe- cially when he is fighting for his life. Now it wants to be remembered that men
 In war are not fighting for marbles or cigaret pictures. They are fighting for their lives. A nation at war is basically just large number of people fighting
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-09-21

for their lives Under those circumstances they become very ingenious indeed.
 It may be fairly assumed that what ever restrictions ingenuity may contrive to prevent American goods reaching the fighting nations, equal ingenuity will step in to frustrate the plan. No positive, airtight, foolproof, 100 per cent safe and just neutrality plan can be made. The best that can be hoped for it an approxi- nation.
 For instance: The New York Coffee and Sugar Exchange was startled the other day when bid came in from the Russian government in Moscow for a huge but undisclosed amount of coffee. Transpor- tation was to be in Russian ships, to Lem ingrad. All perfectly legal.
 The odd part of this is that Russia has never been a large coffee buyer in New York or even in South America Russia is in general tea-drinking country. Why this sudden rush for coffee? The simplest explanation is that the coffee is going to Leningrad, and from there straight to Germany, a great drinking coun- try which has been restive under short age Ol IL CNC1l UC1O1C wal WQo OOCAQACu
 One hears other stories, unverified but interesting; tales of great shipments of automobile parts, so ingeniously designed that when they are received single, simple machine operation converts them into airplane parts. There are always small neutral countries in position to way to check up on or prove their activi- ties.
 Suppose Germany does get coffee through Russia. Is coffee intuition of war? Not directly. But certain veterans in muddy khaki, coming back from a tour in the lines around Thiaucourt on September morning in 1918 could have told you that it helps. Are automobile parts, convertible or nonconvertible, munitions? The Poles, with their trans ports all snarled up, and truck after truck out of action, could tell you.
 Whatever arrangements are made on a neutrality policy might as well be made on the basis that practically any thing helps a country at war; that prac- tically anything may be at any moment declared contraband, and that no con- ceivable law can entirely prevent any kind of neutral goods getting to fighting nations.
 Hence it might be best not to concen- trate too fully on means of securing some sort of hypothetical balance called neutrality, with the needs of the fighting powers in mind, but on means of keeping the United States away from the sort Of incident that inflarnes opinion here.
 In the long run, it is public opinion that decides whether democratic coun- trv goes to war Unless and until events persuade most of the American people that it is in their interest to fight, no one would dare try to lead them to do so.

REWARDS FOR BREEDERS
The breeders have been severely
disappointed that there has been
no mention of breeders rewards
being proposed as a universal rule
for all tracks operating in the
breeding States Of the country
With breeding facilities so expen
sive, they feel that some such
recognition of their operations
should be given the industry
When you consider the exhorbi
tant prices a breeder has to pay
to get a stallion of quality and
producing blood lines to head a
breeding establishment, and also
to secure mares that will produce
the finest specimens "a stallion
will cost anywhere from 100000
up, and the mares of proven pro,
duction will be from $1,000 to $40,,
00O, there is a great deal OF
foundation for their request.
Maryland has already made pro
visions for her breeders. The
Maryland rewards to breeders
now stand $3.50 for the horse win
ming any races, outside Of those
conditioned for Maryland-breds
that are claiming or allowance ano
$500 for horses winning stake
races. California has introduced
a system Of three per cent Of tht
purse to the breeder of any horse
bred in California that wins a
race, regardless of whether it is
