i?AGE 2 SEOND INSTALMENT Synopsis . ?1u jonnny ereen, id years tuu, vmu had spent all of his life aboard a Hudson river tugboat plying near New York, is tossed into the river in a terrific collision which sinks the tug, drowns his mother and the j man he called father. Ignorant, un- ! schooled, and fear driven, he drags) himself ashore, hides in the friendly j darkness of a huge covered truckonly to be kicked out at dawn?and into the mdst of a tough gang of river rat boys who beat and chase him. He escapes and, exhaused, tumbles into a basemen: doorway Later, he hears the trap door slammed, a padlock snapped down ?and he is trapped. Now go on with the story: "Becka! Becka!" "Yes, Pa." "Vill you shud de vawter off?" "Papa, it iss off." "Vot you dell me, Becka? Id don'd run? I heared id. Do vot I told you; vill you?" Channon Lipvitch hobbled back through the basement, to the rear room. He shuffled, his feet at an angle, his bearded face assuming an air of comical severity. It was an occasion and Channon Lipvitch, certain of his ground, determined to correct his daughter. Cafnversaticn, in the rear livingsleeping room, came to a stop; the loud voices quieting while the splash of running water sounded from without. "So" you tcld it lies to me on Shabbas?" He bristled, but Becka, more voluble than her father, instantly replied. "It's in back, Pa. Don't be so sudden with calling me a liar. It's in the house in back. I hear it splashing, like you." But hannon Lipvitch was right ! Water was splashing, if not in their apartment, then near by. Ha, he was right; his ears were not stuffed up. Water taxes were ever in his mind when faucets flowed. "Veil." he said, "shud id off, vy don'd you? Dell me, who iss making sooch a splash on Shabbas?" He was a strict man with his family?in the presence of visitors. The girl, big for her age, and me jjipvuuii vjioinmg emporium ?"New and Second Hand"? was piump, Willi an aiiuvoi/ pxciimtu'ic development, laughing and giggling, climbed through a rear window of the .Lipvitch home, the?, sleep-, eating-room in back of the Clothing Emporium?new and Second Hand. She had to make a high step, a very high step, for 'they were on the basement flcor, and the sills were high. Her skirt was tight and long, in fact, as she stretched one leg through the window, the other was uncovered far above 'the knee; a plump shapely leg. Becka, standing on tiptoes, her skirts lifted unnecessarily high, peered across the narrow area between the buildings. Through a broken window pane she saw a boy splashing over a rusty sink, under a tap of running water. He held a piece of hard yellow laundry soap an? was working up a lather; his hair and face were streaming wet. The boy caught a glimpse of her, his eyes were wide with fear?blue eyes. She smiled at him. Then she turned hurriedly, her skirts up over her knees?her stockings were new and she made the most of the occason. Breathlessly she jumped down nto the Lipvtch living room. "It's a boigler," she declared, almost fin'ting. Tremendous excitment prevailed in the Lipvitch home. "Quick, Papa, quick." Mrs. Lipvitch and Mrs. Yartin were urging and helping the reluctant Lipvitch at the window. Suddenly the water stopped. Lipvitch, in the area, caught a glimpse of a boy's face at the broken window. The little man he was a head shorter than his wife, struggled to command his voice. He did not look formidable In his black silk skull cap. His features worked convulsively. "Vot iss! Vot iss!" He exclaimed excitedly. The boy looked harmless, frightened. "Vill you come oudt?" Lipvitch screamed. "Or if you don'd I?I?call polize!" "Papa, it's only a boy." Becka was again climbing through the window. "Here, boy, come out to us." She rapped and rattled the weathered sash. "Id's only a poy. Only a poy," Mr. Lipvitch announced, as if terriby disappointed. He greeted Johnny with a smile, and held out a scrawny hand to the strong fist of the boy who leaped up without effort, a ragged .desperate waif with wet hair and shining eyes. But Channon Lipvitch was triumphant. He had proven himself, with the help of circumstances. Before one's family and friends, bravery is a virtue. rr?U-v T l??u-u /Ni-ii-i- ?

On the second ballot at the Democratic conventioa Oklahoma switched its 22 votes from Murray to Rogers?"and still I didn't win oat," says Rogers. not unlike the barge Cavalier, in shape, at least. It was a nice little business, buying and selling. In the back, branching from a dark, narrow hall with a splintered pine floor, were the work rooms lit by naked yellow gas jets and crowded during en hours cf the day with operators an pants and vests. Lipvitch took in piece work on the less difficult parts of manufacture, hiring his help from the tenements of the street. His stock did not spoil, he bounght cheap and scld at a profit, even when protesting with vehemence 'that his loss was great. Back . of the two work rooms came the 1 kitchen, small and dark, opening to ' the living room in the rear. Alt one 1 side of this, back of a sink, to save ' plumbing, was the bathroom. And ' the back room, the home of the Lipvitch family, where they entertained their friends, ate their meals and slept, stretched the full seventeen feet from party wall to party wall. Here father, mother, Bekac and the twins, Muriel and Constance, the latter just able to walk were sheltered. In the living room there were two beds, covered by colored spreads by day and shoved against the wall farthest from the windows ;o get away from the night air. Becka and the twins slept on one of these and Mr. and Mrs. Lipvitch occupied the other. With the advent of Johnny Breen a cot, from a nearby second hand store, was placed beneath one of the windows. Channon Lipvitch, like the heads of many families preponderant on the female side, felt himself over- j shadowed^ by the growing impu- s dence of Becka added to the volu- < bility of Mrs. Lipvitch. A shrewd | general in a trade, he was limp in ] the hands of his wife and daughter. To him trade was art; it was life, and life depended upon the 'teem ing, crowding multitude who ' swarmed and squirmed in the alleys of the town?it was a good place, : this city, so full of customers al ways close at hand. On the Saturday afternoon of Johnny's introduction to the city his reception in the back room of the Clothing Emporium took on the proportions of an event. Johnny's story, given amid greed* mastication of seed rcos and gulps of tears and lukewarm coffee, thrilled the company with a sympathy grown quick through the age-long persecution of their race?a sympathy leading to monumental works of charity within the city. Tears coursed down his cheeks as he repeated, "My mother is drowned, my mother is drowned!" The "oy, cy, oy" of Mrs. Lipvitch and Mrs. Yartin punctuated the story. Mrs. Blumgreen, with large, wondering brown eyes, cried in sympathy, while Becka driprt his rinf-hps nnri sewed on buttons. "You are staying by us, now," Becka spoke to Johnny, smiling, her face close to his. Tears welled in his eyes. He was terribly tired; kindness cut through him like a knife. Johnny slept on a cot in the corner. He drifted off into oblivion, exhausted and exaltation crowding back the events of the previous day and night.

He thought the whole world consisted of the river, and the Ghetto, nothing else. Becka became a dominant force in the direction of his emotions. He burst out of his clothing, his strong body never tired. He could lift Becka high up so she might reach the top shelves in the shop; she was often needing things there, and then, suddenly, he refused to lift, her, but climbed up himself and found nothing. John had achieved a prime requisite for worldly success. He was known four and five blocks away as "Fighting Lipvitch." He became r?

The Grogan gang, out for revenge, cruised the Ghetto. John Breen, with brass knuckle dusters in his pockets, a reckless light in his eyes, fought when there were no more than two or three, and took to his heels before a gang. He rather liked fighting, it added to his popularity. He began 'to absorb the philosophy of the Ghetto, the kindly brotherhood of those who live within the pale. He also absorbed a tremendous stock of self conceit and confidence. Once he hit a rash young man such t terrific crack, the blow landed en his shin, that the victim lay for a half hour unconscious. The story grew by telling and the fame of John Breen took on added stature. Fighting kept his mind alert and made him wary, while dim thoughts :f things beyond the tenements, of wide avenues and great mansions, srossed his consciousness in dreams jonn learned mat millionaires were; in the city, powerful, kindly, and' immensely rich, looking about for ivorthy daughters of Israel. He suspected 'that miles and miles beycnd them lay vast territories unexplored.

John lay awake at night reviewing the hi -ter struggle and worked the harder by day. He arose at five-thirty, an hour before Lipvitch, and in 'the dark, murky room he slipped, on his trousers, and with shirt in hand went to the littered tub. In those mornings John worked hard and fast to get out on 'I he street and then he idled about until the coming of Lipvitch. The street was an edless show, a constantly changing tapestry with human figures hung on frames of brick. As the mornings followed each other and his fame expanded, John Breen kept a wary eye for ruffians trudging to and from the river. His stay at the Clothing Emporum became more and more perilous. The Grogan Gang was "laying" for him. He avoided the river front and kept away from the Bowery. Once on a Saturday night, walking with Becka arm in arm, and deep inj the mysteries of river lore, for John told her everything he couia rememoer, he was suddenly confronted by a crowd of toughs. "That's 'im! That's tha flghtln* kyke!" Set on from front and back he was unmercifully beaten, kicked and mauled. Becka, screaming, ran ;o the corner crying, "Moider, perlice!?moider!?perlice!" Her frantic screams were heard for a block and a cop, providentially near, rushed to he scene in time to save John Breen from entire annihilation. Becka supported him, carried him home, a bloody battered gladiator. Becka was his nurse, tended him, washed his cuts and bruises, and got raw beefsteak from Mrs. Yartin fo his blackened eyes. She sat on his couch and creid over him, caressed him, her hero. And so the months went by in a smother of smells and chatter and continuous struggle. As the summer waxed to its fullest hea't and high humidity thickened the air with oppressive damp, the Lipvitch family moved out of their back room into the rear area of the tenement. Here, with their mattresses close together, they lay gasping through the nights. John, prone on his back, gazed upward on clear nights at a slit of heaven. Frequent domestic arguments sounded back and forth down crowded light shafts and weird fancies filled John's mind as he fretted through the hot nights amid the close incest of the city slums.

The June figure was 25 per cent above the May total of $35,108,000 which represented an increase of 35 per cent over the $26,000,000 for April, the magazine pointed out. Only contracts of the larger type were considered in estimating the six months totals, the publication said, and if small contracts had been included the estimate would reach upward of $210,000,000. Chief among the projects which featured the first half of the year were Federal, State, county and municipal enterprises. The June to- } tal was swelled by two important projects in Washington, D. C., where contracts were awarded for building the Department of Labor building at a cost of $10,000,000 and a new post office at $8,000,000. Highway and bridge building contributed a large part of the June total, with $14,574,000 worth of contracts awarded. This figure com pares with $14,260,000 for May and $12/833,000 for April. A notable increase in improvements at textile plants throughout the South was reported with many plants installing new and more efficient machinery, new lighting systems and humidifying plants. Among the outstanding major industrial Enterprises Initiated during the past six months was a 46mile pipe line in Louisiana and an ore mill to cost $300,000 in Oklahoma. Dwelling construction showed a slight increase during June. The totals for this class of work were $735,000 in May and $1,061,000 in June. The figures do not include numerous individual projects of less than $10,000 each. Hundreds of new construction projects in the dwelling class, including renovations and additions to residential properties costing from $500 upwards, and under construction in the South, the magazine said.
