It’s a long, long way down Broadway. Those who love Broadway for its glamour are deceived. They know not all of Broadway. Broadway is thirteen miles long. It springs from the Battery at the tip of Manhattan and runs the entire length of the island. Then it springs across the Harlem River and invades the Bronx and continues almost unto Yonkers. Manhattan’s Forty-Second Street and Broadway is famous. But the Bronx has 242nd Street and Broadway. Those who love Broadway with a personal interest are formed into a Broadway Association. Yearly its seventy-five members go in pilgrimage along the full length of the thoroughfare. There were twenty-five gaily decorated automobiles in the third annual pilgrimage. Small groups of people stood shivering in the cold wind outside the railings of Hyde Park, and watched the breaking up of the huge camp that has been responsible for feeding London during the past fortnight. Many admiring comments were heard of the wonderful organization which had provided meals and other food for the population in face of great difficulties. “I have never known anything like it”; said Sir William Price, the Controller, “Everybody willingly worked twenty hours every day, and it was owing to this that the arrangements went so well.” To these and other volunteers the Prime Minister has addressed a message of thanks on behalf of the Government. “To their patriotic efforts is largely due the salvation of the community from great peril,” L’Amérique Latine à la Société des Nations M. Lebreron, délégué de l’Argentine au Comité de réforme

Lebreron, délégué de l’Argentine au Comité de réforme du Conseil de la Société des Nations, a rappelé que son pays est aujourd’hui, comme en 1920, animé du désir d’aider à la démocratisation du conseil. Malgré tous les inconvénients qu’il peut y avoir à élargir le conseil, l’Argentine accepte le projet Coii qui porte le nombre total des membres du conseil à 14. Quant à la thèse du Brésil qui prévoit deux sièges permanents pour l'Amérique latine, le représentant de l’Argentine a indiqué que son pays ne tient pas à représenter d’autres intérêts que les siens et qu’il n’accepterait pas non plus que d’autres Etats prissent la responsabilité de la représentation directe ou indirecte des intérêts argentins. The pilgrimage was led by Father Writes the Premier. And he includes Knickerbocker himself—or at least by Mr. J. B. Vandevent, of the Broadway Association, dressed up as Father Knickerbocker. The pilgrimage had as guide Van der Donck. He was one of the earliest white settlers of Yonkers. On this occasion he was impersonated by Mr. William B. Bruce, of the Yonkers Chamber of Commerce. There were also Miss Broadway and Miss Yonkers. Miss Broadway was chosen to represent the Broadway Association on all official occasions. She is otherwise known as Miss

Miss Yonkers is Miss Wilma Ansell. There were a number of new things to inspect on Broadway this year. The pilgrimage paused at Times Square to look over the new Paramount Building. At 174th Street the pilgrims were received by Dr. Christian F. Reisner, at the new Broadway Temple. When the party reached the historic Manor House at Yonkers it was met by the Mayor of Yonkers and taken to luncheon at the Hudson River Country Club. Once “Broadway” and “bright lights” were synonymous. Once Broadway was the nation’s playground. But trade is remolding the Rialto. Skyscrapers are displacing théâtres. As a movie sub-title genius would phrase it: A Domain of Dalliance Has Been Converted into a Region of Rush Hours. When the Metropolitan Opera evacuates its historic citadel at Broadway and Thirty-Ninth Street to go further uptown it will abandon to the besieging hosts of trade the chief remaining stronghold of a playground celebrated in topical song and snappy story. The Great White Way has capitulated to the banners of Cloaks and Suits. The night is not far distant when Broadway, from Thirty-Fourth Street North to Times Square, will be a skyscraper-walled canyon as empty and silent

The night is not far distant when Broadway, from Thirty-Fourth Street North to Times Square, will be a skyscraper-walled canyon as empty and silent as Wall Street. A twenty-three-story hive of the garment industry will replace the Thirty-Ninth Street Theatre. Across the way the Casino— with memories of halcyon days of Francis Wilson, Lillian Russell and comic opera — cannot long withstand the battering those who offered their services but were not called up. The demolition of such camps as Hyde Park all over the country was not allowed to take place without fitting celebrations. Concerts and breaking-up parties were held in most places prior to the demobilization of the thousands of volunteers. While Mr. Baldwin was probably “browsing among the classics,” at Chequers, his own description of his favorite recreation after a period of strenuous work, those who were wise spent their Sunday in similar occupations, for it was more a day for the fireside than a ramble. Three inches of snow fell in several of the Southern counties, while in the Cotswolds a fall of six inches was reported. The usual Sunday Socialist gatherings on the commons and open spaces around London drew only a handful of people, and the claims of a Labor victory in the strike had a cold reception in more ways than one.

The usual Sunday Socialist gatherings on the commons and open spaces around London drew only a handful of people, and the claims of a Labor victory in the strike had a cold reception in more ways than one. One band of Sunday workers was able to keep itself tolerably warm, however, as it endeavored to cope with one of the results of the strike. This was the sorting staff at the Mount Pleasant parcels post department. Here the men could be seen making a frontal attack on the mountains of parcels which accumulated during the past couple of weeks. An official estimated that there was nearly one hundred times more work to be done than on a normal Sunday, while a perspiring sorter gave it as his opinion that “It’s like ten Christmases rolled into one, mate.” There were nearly ten thousand parcels from France alone. In London, newspapers will appear in their customary form and bulk tomorrow after exactly a fortnight of enforced holiday. They are certain to be received with a specially warm welcome, since during this period else people have been prepared to put up with the lack of news, which was something to which the average man had never been accustomed, and he found it very difficult to tolerate. Newsagents have a special reason for rejoicing, not only on account of the renewed commerce. Nearby, the appearance of daily papers, but also the portals of the Majestic Elliot Theatre,

Newsagents have a special reason for rejoicing, not only on account of the renewed commerce. Nearby, the appearance of daily papers, but also the portals of the Majestic Elliot Theatre, shake beneath the assaults. Only a buyer is waited for before the Empire— which Charles Frohman left behind and where Maude Adams brought Peter Pan to life—lapses into oblivion. The Knickerbocker is isolated and beleaguered. And these are the last of the galaxy that once included Daly’s, Wallack’s, Weber and Field’s Music Hall, the Herald Square, the Broadway. Year after year in the first quarter of the century has seen block after block of Broadway wrested from leisure and given over to bustle. The Rialto has helplessly watched its dining, wining and gossiping displaced by trade and barter. Fast disappearing are the one-story and two-story frame buildings that have given a Main Street aspect to that part of Broadway above Thirty-fourth Street. Now an entire block of them between Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth Streets and half a block between Thirty-seventh and Thirty-eighth Streets await only a demand at a sufficiently handsome price. “It’s Always Bright and Sunny Weather on Broadway” once strutted a troubadour of Tin Pan Alley. Now look at the downed Street Stand at the Métropolitains curb in mid-afternoon and look South beyond the McAlpin... There is a solid bank of murk as if a conflagration raged without flame.

To the North a wall of fog clips off the horizon at the Hotel Astor. The sky is drab with a yellowish tinge. A dozen chimneys pour our smudge in curling, greasy folds. The sun by day and the bright lights by night—they are gone. IN THE CITY OF THE ANGELS, Los Angeles spent $8,000,000 on a splendid new Hall of Justice of steel and concrete. Prisoners escaped wholesale from the county jail on the fourteenth floor. The bakery installed at a cost of $50,000 was abandoned after the authorities found it cheaper to buy two-day-old bread than to bake it. Then the prison dining hall had to be abandoned. Then the chapel also. It was so situated that attorneys would not run the risk of conducting prisoners to and from their cells. The great prison laundry was next given up and its equipment moved to the roof. The roof was originally designed as an exercise yard for prisoners. But the guard irons were placed facing the wrong direction so that any prisoner who could find a rope could find a place to tie it and slide fourteen floors to freedom. Judges and attorneys complain that courtrooms are so poorly

But the guard irons were placed facing the wrong direction so that any prisoner who could find a rope could find a place to tie it and slide fourteen floors to freedom. Judges and attorneys complain that courtrooms are so poorly lit that stenographers can scarcely see their notes and attorneys cannot read their law books. The $4,000 gold leaf ceiling in one courtroom was menaced when a choked jail kitchen drain on an upper floor overflowed. Judge and court attachés at first tried to conduct business under umbrellas but they were soon impelled to adjourn elsewhere. A Grand Jury investigation of the $8,000,000 Hall of Justice is now underway, because the weekly periodical and magazine trade will now be revived. Bookstalls, which are generally very attractively arranged, have presented a very bare appearance of late, but they will soon be dressed again in their regular gorgeous colors. The Times fund for the police, by the way, now amounts to £38,000. The business of distributing such papers as have been published has been in the hands of a group of society volunteer helpers, which has included such well-known women as Lady Diana Duff-Cooper, Lady Louis Mountbatten, Lady Poynter and Lady Violet Astor. With a number of Members of Parliament, and American Rhodes Scholars from Oxford, they have lined up with their parcels outside the Fleet Street newspaper offices and taken the parcels to different parts of the country.

The Swansea police authorities are busy unravelling the mystery of the disappearance of a small tube of radium from one of the local hospitals. The value is fixed at £375. It is believed to have been stolen by a gang of expert thieves. A theft of a different nature had an exciting sequel at Margate. The lifeboat and a motorboat put out in heavy seas to go to the help of a small boat which was in distress some way from the shore. This craft was a cutter-rigged cockle occupied by a man and woman, and was reported as missing by its owner at Southend. The man was arrested and charged with stealing the boat, and the woman was taken to hospital suffering from shock. When the Duke and Duchess of York returned from their African trip, Mrs. Goldman, of Park Street, London, gave a dinner to celebrate the event. An uninvited guest took a fancy to a large heart-shaped dessert which Mrs. Goldman was wearing on a necklace, snatched it off, and ran into Piccadilly, where he was soon lost in the crowd. Nearly twelve months after its disappearance, news has just been received that a man is on his way to

Nearly twelve months after its disappearance, news has just been received that a man is on his way to England with the stone, which is valued at £4,000. The police first traced it to Antwerp, and then to a New York dealer, so that it will have completed a good round trip before reaching its owner again. That part of central London which has the British Museum as its heart, the neighbourhood of dreary tenements, shabby-genteel lodging houses and art dealers, known as Bloomsbury, is becoming a sort of second Chelsea. Workshops of modern craftsmen are springing up on every side, and Devonshire Street, which stretches from Theobald’s Road to Queen Square, is likely to become the centre of a new Bloomsbury art colony. Many studios are also to be found there, since only the most successful can afford a Chelsea rental, and rooms are comparatively cheap in the West Central quarter, which is still London’s principal lodging house. L’ÉMIGRATION ITALIENNE EN AMÉRIQUE LATINE Le rapport sur le budget traite longuement de la question de l’émigration italienne en Amérique Latine.

Le fait est d’autant plus préoccupant que l’Argentine apprécie beaucoup l’élément italien. Le rapporteur remarque ensuite que le Brésil vient immédiatement après l’Argentine comme débouché d’émigration : « Toutefois, poursuit le rapport, la persistance de certaines conditions de milieu ne permet pas que l’affluence des Italiens au Brésil dépasse le chiffre modeste de ces dernières années. Les grandes possibilités de peuplement et les exploitations agricoles ne pourront pas exercer une attraction suffisante si dans l’État de São Paulo on ne surmonte pas les difficultés constituées par le régime des fazendas et si, dans d’autres États où les terres dépeuplées abondent, on n’affronte pas la création de voies ferrées, de routes et de travaux d’aménagement qui constituent la préparation nécessaire pour accueillir les émigrants étrangers. » LES CHANGES Argentine (peso) .... 45 1/4 Brésil (milreis) 7 l/s Chili (piastre) 39.80 Mexique (dollar) .... 23.90-24,40 Pérou (peso) ........ 31 % Uruguay (dollar) .... 51 COURS SUR PLACE Colombie...
