A friend was describing prepara

Poor old Broadway—where the
bright lights shine at night! One
of the things that makes it tawdry;
jewelry auctioneers who use loud
speakers and droi^e on and on in
a rasping, monotonous tone. In
spite of it, there are always the
curious and the credulous who stop
and listen.

We seem bound to be different
in New York . . . Repeal is a fact.
Yes. Sit down at a restaurant table
and you can order any drink you
like. But eat lunch sitting at a
counter five feet away and you
can’t have a drop . . . Go into a
liquor store, sak for beer and the
answer is, "we’re not allowed to
sell it.”

Chicago has New York beat for
peculiar liquor legislation. You
can have anything you like to drink
even though you sit on a high stool
at a lunch counter. But if you
lower a foot to the floor, straight
ening one leg to the standing posi
tion while drinking you can be ar
rested for a misdemeanor.

Whiskey and Soda live up at the
Bronx Zoo. And they’re the first
of their kind that eve^ arrived
alive in the United States. They’re
bears from Tibet—odd looking
youngsters that only weighed 30
pounds when they got here. And
they only got here alive because
one of the ship’s crew inVentd a
diet that they would eat en route.
When they refused the prescribed
menu they were fed scrambled
eggs, raw and cooked vegetables, a
lot of marmalade, milk and oat
meal. Some day they’ll weigh from
350 to 400 pounds each!

The hospitals of New York were
virtually besieged this winter by a
lot of actors who wanted to visit
the surgical amphitheatres to ob
serve the exact bearing of all the
players in the very real job of per
forming operations. The siege was
brought on, of course by such plays
as Men in White and Yellow Jack
—two of the most successful of
the season . . . There are some sur
gical amphitheatres where the ob
servers sit in a circular mezzanine
ground the glass dome directly
above the operating table . . . They
can observe the minute work of the
surgeon with the aid of binoculars.

There’s a company in New
York that specializes in neutralizing
the effect of stench bombs. It’s
called the Bombatement Company.
Every trade organization in town
has its name on the emergency list.
The founder started work after he
had one of those evil smelling
bombs thrown into the store that
he used to operate.

The garden experts tell us to cul

I Soap and water is said to be
one of the best sanitary agents, but
the politicians need not feel they
must give us any more soft soap.
The household hints tell us how
to get greasespots out of the clothes,
but when the political campaign
comes on we shall need another hint
on how to get the oil out of the
talk.
All right for the politicians to
shake hands with the voters, but
they should not do it so vigorously
that the voter has to apply liniment
o his lame arm.
LITTLE AMERICA. ANTARCTI
CA, May 7 (via Mackay Radio)
—These meteor showers are beauti
ful. We have been watching them
every night since April 19. At first
the atmosphere was murky and visi
bility low. Recently, however, the
air has cleared and the heavens
have put on a wonderful show for
us.

meteorologist, and the other sclen

tists have built an observation tur
ret of pyralln glass which is light
and won’t break. In this turret four
of the science fellows sit on a re
volving platform and each checks
up all night on the shooting stars
he observes In one quadrant of the
sky. This is being done under the
direction of Dr. Thomas C. Pointer,
chief of our group of 13 scientists,
who is in command here while Ad
miral Byrd Is off in his hut 123
miles away. At home Dr. Poulter la
head of the science department ol
Iowa Wesleyan College, at Mount
Pleasant. Iowa. In this meteor
shower observation business down
here he is working with llfty mete
orologlcal stations throughout the
world and a lot of new knowledge
of Celestial ways should come of It,
Our dally routine Is all In work
ing shape now. We rise at 7, get
into frozen clothes, thaw ourselves
out a bit and have breakrast at 7.30
By 8.30 we are at work. Luncheon
happens at 12.30 and dinner at 5.30,
For breakfast we have dry oi
cooked cereal with real cream and
milk from our own cows, hot cakes
or bacon and eggs, and coffee
Luncheon Is a buffet affair, usually
of sandwiches, soup and coffee
Dinner Is our biggest meal, with
soup, beef, lamb, or seal meat, two
vegetables, dessert and coffee or
cocoa. Not much starving dowr.
here as yet.
There are few regulations ln this
camp but those few are strictly en
forced. We are all adults, on s
serious mission, and there is no
great need of discipline. We are
allowed no meals except at regular
hours. Of course, when parties
come ln off the trails hungry they
are fed right away or as soon as
A1 Carbone, of Cambridge, Mass,
can get something ready. Every
body must get up for breakfast.
There Is no lingering In bed, as
much as we would like to stay ln
our warm cocoon-like sleeping bags
for a few extra winks. Those who
are already up and freezing can't
bear the sight of others still enjoy
ing the luxury of the bags and soon
haul them out. Exceptions to this
are F. Alton Wade, of West Holly
wood, Calif., a geologist without any
rocks to study, who Is acting as our
night watchman, and Clay Bailey,
of Brawley, Calif., our chief radio
operator, who Is always on radio
watch at night.
No men are allowed away from
the station alone. They might get
lost too easily ln a sudden blizzard
In the Antarctic darkness. It Is not
absolutely black night here all the
time yet. We get a sort of grayish
shadow for about three hours a day
which the veterans tell me Is day
light. Maybe somebody experienced
ln London fogs might recognize it
as daylight. I don't. All lights
must be out by 10.30 p. m. It’s a
good healthy life. 1 like It and am
thriving on It.

writes: “I have used Thedford’s
Black-Draught many years when
needed for biliousness and other
minor ills when a laxative was
needed. I have a tight feeling in
my chest when I get bilious. I get
dizzy and feel very tired, Just don’t
feel like doing my work. After
taking Black-Draught, I feel much
better. This is why I continue to
j use it when needed.” . . . Thed
