TODAY and/
TOMORROW
FAIE . ... world's greatest
New York is going to have a
World's Fair in 1939. The date will
commemmorate the 150th anniversary
of the beginning of our nation. O'l
April 30, 1789 the first President of
theUnited States, George Washington,
took the' oath of office on the bafcony
of Federal Hall, at the corner of
Broad and Wall Streets, and for moie
than a year he lived as President in
New York. The national capital was
then moved to Philadelphia, where i',
lvtaiained until the new city of Wash
ington was ready for President John
Adams.
New York City is almost a perpet
ual World's Fair in itself. The first
World's Fair in America was held in
New York, in the Crystal Palace, in
1854. The px-oinoters of the 1939
exposition promise something grander
and more interesting than has ever
been held.
At any rate, it will give everybody
an opporiunit and an excuse to visit
America's greatest city.
MEMORIES .... growth
Year's ago I met an old man who
claimed to have seen President Wash
ington. That may have true, for .cer^
tainly there were many men all we in
my buvhool who were born before
Washington died. But I have found
thai many, old people "remember"
ihings that never happened.
One txld gentleman, .Major George
Haven Putnam, who died at 83 a few
years ugo, told nil? a sfory 'that I vtc
Relieve. As a small boy he was wajk
tr.g with his lather . on the Bowling
Green, at the lower end of Broadway.
L'hey met Washington Irving, the fa
mom author, Avho was born in 1783.
Irving patted the little boy on the
i:ead, and said to him:
"Now you are only two pats of the
head from George Washington."
He had been, walking with his owii
^pot, when they met PrSenT^aSPh
ngton, who patted his little narncsak*
an the head.
When I hear such anecdotes and
realize that only the span Of two hu
iiiau lives lies between froday and tin
beginning of our nation, I am alway
.reshly amazed that we have grown
n so fhort a time to tlu wealthiest,
most vigorous and almo.it the largest
aation ii\ the world. And I wonder
how much farther we arc going.
fAHADAY and tax
The other day a scientist in London,
seated at the desk used by Michael
Faraday, struck a match and lighted
;l candle. That started an electrical
impulse which si>ed acrqss the Atlan
;ic and lighted a lamp to signalize the
opening of the new Museum of Science
and Industry in New York.
Faraday, the blacksmith's son who
Invented *the electric dynamo, could
not have foreseen a miracle like that,
perhaps, though he was a good
prophet. When Mr. Gladstone, Queen
Victoria's Prime Minister, asked him
what good his dynamo was, Faraday
J replied: ?
"Some day you can tax it."
Our whole structure . of public
utilities is founded mainly on Fara
day's invention. * And governments
have certainly discovered that it is
taxable I
ICE Larve,t
The biggest ice crop in many years
is being liarvested oji the upper Hud
son River and the lakes of northern
New York, and New England. Two
foot ice is reported from Lake Cham
plain, and still freezing. ...... ?
Elcctric refrigeration in homes, and
artificial ice plants everywhere, have
pretty nearly ruined what used to be
a prosperous and profitable industry.
The annual ice crop used to bnn?
more cash into the towns along the
northern rivers than anything eLs?.
While there is still a market for
good natural ice, it is small an o
po 11 TPfl
Yet I haven't heard of the "ice
farmers" asking the Government for
| relief!
