STREET
Calm As the Night Gale
Green giaaa will be growing on
Broadway if the threat of the police
department to toll the 1:00 a. m.
curfew on all night clubs goes into
effect.
That is the woeful prediction of the
proprietors, who say that night life,
flickering feebly enough as it is, will
become completely extinguished. They
say it will banish every night club
' from the street they made famous.
Thi threatened early closing is the
result of the recent shooting in one
of the clubs. Police believe it was
a flare-up of a gang feud, and hope to
break up sinister trysts of members
of the underworld l y prohibiting
operation in the wee, small hours.
Up In the Air
The gr*at concentration of uctivity
iji New York is graphically brought
out when one compares this city with
others. In Detroit, for example, fac-
tories cover acres and acres of
ground.
Here they are built one on top of
the o:hfv. Rent for ground floor
.space being prohibitively high, it is
a common thinji to sec si factory em-
ploying hundred.* of men operating on
the '10th floor of a tow,Ming sky-
scraper. Whatever their -.nlaries may
be. the empi yet cannot o-mplain
t.hat they aie not high up in the
worid.

Although entirely unsolicited, wt
make the suggestion that the name

Rejected ? Oh, well.
You Won't De Missed
There are a great many people in
New York, and a great many of them
die. But few leave this mortal sphere
as "unmissed" as a retired assistant
foreman of a municipally-owned com-
pany. So quiet was his passing that
the city apparently failed to note it
for seven years.
They've been sending him pension
money regularly. The strange cir-
cumstance was revealed by a judge.
The city hopes to recover about half
the money.
Fair and Warmer
Various reasons have been given as
to why New York no longer has its
good, healthy snowstorms. One
author in a l>ook about the city,
claims that its many skyscrapers and
feverish magistrates give off so much
heat that a decent snowstorm, de-
scending with the best of intentions,
is melted as soon as it gets above
the city, and arrives as rain.
Reunion
A resourceful reported with a bag-
ful of gumdrops restored order in
Harlem court when three dogs, all
relatives, met for the first time in
several months and proclaimed a
family reunion in such volume that it
sounded like a dog pound.
When they had ^unK their canine
teeth in the gumdrops they ceased
their barking version of "The Gang's
All Here."

Do You Own Your
Home? If Not,
Why?
Editorial
The principal differ-
ence, as we see it, be-
tween holding down a
job and l>eing in busi-
ness for yourself is
that you get regular
pay for a job.
You are mighty lucky
to have a job now if ¡
you can keep from
breaking the man that
gave it to you.
Now that it's over
it is easy to look back
and see who was to
blame for the stock
market crash of 1929.
It was the skirt manu-
facturers—they were
the first to begin sell-
ing things short.
We have had a crash
in our business, too.
We can sell you lumber
for less than we paid
for it. Can make you
some bargain prices
and give good material.
All up to grade in
lumber. Wall boards
such as Sheet Rock,
Atlas Board, Celotex.
Veneered panels.
A local man says:
"It's easy to tell a
heathen country be-
cause there the starv-
ing inhabitants yearn
to get fat instead of
thin."
Fable
His father was presi-
dent of the school
board, but the teacher
flunked him.
Remember our paint
bargains when yon
need paint. We have
some going at cost.
Good paint—anything
we sell 'ou must be
like we tell you. If it's
bad. we tell you. If it's
good, we te!', you when
you buy. Let us sell
you your paint.
We will ket*p a
stock of
material at ail tii
Let us figure
house b i 1 l,s, barns |
sheds, anything ye
want to build.
We don't have
days now and then-
have them every day.l
If you want carpenterf
work done, we can fur-1
nish you a man who|
knows how.
We're glad to wel-1
come Canadian tourists I
but we'd like to see a|
high import duty!

waves that come f
sweeping down from]
