NEW YORK BEFORE IT WAS DE
MAGNETIZED
Beneath the big receiving float of
the F. C. ft A. Aerial line twfukled the
scattered night lights of New York
city—the new New York, the New
York of 1962. Capt Martin MacManus,
master alrlgator, retired, and the
young float superintendent puffed lux
uriously at their midnight cigars and
gazed down Into the vast silence. '
Hundreds of tiny air craft, their
tingle white turret lights marking them
as private, streamed to and fro along
the passenger lanes. The traffic lanes
Were empty, save for the Inevitable
lumbering newspaper Carriers bearing
the hour's papers to the express floats
at the lower end of the Island.
No hum of crowded humanity came
upward through the night to the float,
for the humanity that o'nce had packed
Manhattan island now was scattered
over the new 200 mile Metropolitan
area, a feat that had been made pos
sible by Durang's mastery'of the law
of gravitation and the consequent de
velopment of cheap, safe and swift
aerial transportation.
"And they tell mr," said the super
intendent musingly, "that once upon a
time that island was crowded so tight
ly that people were pushed off the
piers."
"Aye," said Captain MacManus. "In
the days of my youth, the year of 1912
and thereabouts, such was tbe case."
"But why," persisted the younger
man, "why did the people swarm so to
that little Island when there waa the
whole open country all around?"
"Because," said MacManus, "it was
New York.
"New York, my boy," continued the
veterihf New York was—New York.
If you had lived in that time you
would have understood what that
meant. Now have stopped
Imitating sheep and moths, it is hard

They called it Broadway, becau** It had nothing to do with the straight
end narrow* path."
JO explain. New York was a sort of
hpynotlc-magnet that mesmerized all
the young people and lots of the old
ones in this country and put Into their
heads the delusion that they had to
go to New York to 'lire.' Can you im
agine such a thing, Charley? Thou
sands and millions of people laboring
under the delusion that they had to
live la one certain place to be happy
—and that plaoe New York city!"
{ "I give i|£ip," said the superintend
ent "What waa the matter with
themr
| "They were .afflicted with the New
,York bug," replied MacManus. "The
place had them hypnotized, as I say, no
matter how far away they might live.
It didn't make any difference who or
jwhat or why they were, at some time
or other the bug was sure to strike
and they began to look up time
tables to Manhattan island. Milliners,
artists and Wnarchlsts, writers or
waitresses, they were all alike. It was
|New York or bust' with them all. The
fact that the place already was packed
tighter than a dynamo made no differ
enoe. 'Always room for one more,'
they said. There was, too, If they had
the price, but the room was apt to be
at the end of a hall, and 6 by 8 in
size.
| "Did that discourage them, you ask?
It did not You see, after anybody had
lived In New York over two weeks in
those dhys they developed what was
known among our forefathers as the
Mew York point of view U waa a
THE ENTERPRISE, WILLIAMBTON, NORTH CAROLINA.
strange thing, that point of view, if]
made a man talk of his little cubby
hole on the fifth floor of a tenement M
'my apartments.' It made him put UP
a front, aa near to a millionaire'* as
he could imitate, and he'd live on pork
and bean*. In other words, the New
York point of view was calculated to
make everybody and everything look
like money, and that was all anybody
ever looked for there at that time.
"A young man would come from th«
hinterland to New York and get a job,
and for the first few weeks he'd go
along his way as a young man should
go who expected to bo the bo*a some
day. He'd go home at night and sleep,
and he'd save a little money. But
soon the bug would atart working on
him. The first symptom would *how
in hi* buying a cane and discovering
Broadway. The next downward step
would be learning to eat spaghetti in
Italian restaurants. Aftlr that the
rest was simple. The young man
would go home In the evening, but
only to change his collar and get his
stick. Sometimes he would eat and
sometimes he wouldn't. But no mat
ter, when yot'd see him uptown at
night under the lights you had to ad
mit that be looked like a typical New
Yorker, and that was what the young
man's soul craved. After that he'd go
home and feel that the day had not
been misspent.
"By this time If you ever asked him
if he hadn't come from Oskaloosa, or
Chicago, or some other American city
he'd be ready to light. He was a New
Yorker by this time, and if he got a«
far as Coney Island he thought ho was
traveling. And with this we close the
book on a young but misspent life.
For nobody ever recovered after the
bug had done it* work. They" were
sealed to Manhattan island then. They
would rather live there thirty minute!
than any other place thirty years;
they said so themselves. That wo*
why the park benches always were so
full.
"What became of them all? Nobody
knew—or cared. New York was the
first city in this country to discover
that it could do away with its heart
and soul. People used to talk about
'the heart of New York.' It had none.
Other cities tried to Imitate it In this,
but they looked like nice little school
children playiqg robbers. If a person
had money all of New York knew
where he was. You bet It did; It need
ed.him in'its business. If he had'no
money, nobody except perhaps the po
liceman on night duty in the parks
knew that he existed. So long as
one's money lasted a fellow was fofr
lowed by a procession usually beaded
by a prosperous looking young woman,
then, in order, a head waiter, a chauf
fer, a bartender and a 'crowd of
friends.' After his money was gone
the procession conclsted of one past.
The order of Friends was strong In New
York In that era; you couldn't get
sway from them —If you looked like
you had the gelt. But If you failed to
make a spectacular front: 'Good night!
Who ever saw you before?' You didn't
have to have any money, understand;
you only bad to look like it. A typical
New Yorker who was good at the job
could look like s millionaire and owe
for laundry at the same time. You
have heard of New York art, Charley?
Well, that was It; New Yorkers were
all artists in thst line.
"Two kinds of people came to thst
city In those days: people who wanted
to make money and people who want
ed to spend it. It was the first kind
that kept the place crowded like a
present-day cut rate Greenland sum
mer excursion, but it was the second
crowd that paid for the lights, /he
lights were most of them down there,
Charley, under that long passenger
lane you see below you. They called
it Broadway, because it had nothing
to do with-, the straight and narrow
path. Now we have lights guide us
around the heavens, but there was
nothing like that In old New York. ■
Then they, had them to trim the spend
ers by. •
"I've heard of that place they used
to call Broadway," said the superin
tendent. "Lillian Rusell sings a song
t.bout it at the Z. A T. Aerial theater." j
"I know," said the captain, "and she !
was just as beautiful and youthful
then as she Is now.. She was one of
the things that helped make New York
the hypnotic-magnet it was. Every
laundresß In the country *ald to her
self at night: 'Lily Russell went to
New York, and look at her now. Why
can't I go and do the same?"
"There was a place called Coney
Island, too, wasn't there?" said the su
perintendent
"Yeß. Coney Island was the moot
crowded spot on the globe in summer
time. On a Sunday It was packed
tighter than Manhattan Island. The
New Yorker's idea of a change of
scene was to get out of one crowd Into
a bigger one. When he was jammed
in so tight that his lungs couldn't work
he was happy. The straight front cor
set was Invented In New York at this
time for obvious reasons."
"The people coming Into New York
from the rest of the country must
have felt strangely out of place,"
mused the superintendent
"They did," said tho captain, "If
they came from the United States.
The vUltor from Kalamazoo would try
to get chummy with his neighbor In
the theater. 'Kalamazoo?' the neigh-'
bor would say. 'II'H In Africa, lsn't lt?'
No, Michigan.' 'Oh, yes, Michigan.
That's one of the western Btates,
What?' Tho best, part of It was that
the other fellow has juat got in from
Muncle Ind., the day before. But
suppose you came from London-rOh!
deah chap, then you were at home, re
ally. New York always felt ashamed
of the fact that It wus located so near
to America. ICngllßh Btyles used to
come out there before they did In
Ixmdon. When tho president of the
United States paid the town a visit
they sent a traffic policeman to the
depot to see that hlrf taxi-cab didn't
break any speed laws. When any
member of Kngllsh royalty deigned to
come over tho mounted police were
swept away like chaff by the surge
of free-born New Yorkers ruHhlng for
ward to get in tho moving picture ol
'Crowds Waiting Arrival of Duke of
Con-Naught.' If the royal machine
would hit a citizen tho man would
dlo happy. Such was Ihe patriotism
of that greut city at that time."
"Didn't they ever go out and see tho
rest of the country?" wild tho superin
tendent. „
"Only when they had to. The only
time they enjoyed themselves then
wag when, they sapped up and regis
tered from New York city. The rent o(
the time they were wishing they were
back In the crowd."
The ■uperlntendent stared musingly
down Into the silent space below.
"There must huve been something
about the town, after all, to make such
a strong attraction," said he.
-- "Thero was," said Captain Mao
Manns "About five million people."

ONE BOY'S BRILLIANT IDEA
Youngster Told Hit Father to Tr)
Scissors and So Invented Rea|>
* ing Machines.
In 1830 Obed Hussey of Ohio was lnj
venting a reaping machine, the flriil
ever designed In this country.
His chief difficulty was the cutting
device, which was three largo sickles,
set In a frame and revolved so as to
cut into the grain. It would not work
satisfactorily.
A young son, watching tho experi
ment, asked his father why ho did no)
I use a lot of big scissors, with one
| handle fastened to one bar, and th«
other handle to a sliding bar, thui
opening and closing them.
Hussey instantly adopted the idea,
substituting for scissors the two saw
toothed blades which are In common
use today on harvesters, the cutting
action being quite similar to that of
scissors.
From the boy's suggestion he per
fected tn one week a machine on
which he had in /Vain exercised all
his for the preceding two
years. . * • V"
The principle of the cutting device
is the principle of all of the great har
vesting machines, and its benefit to
the farming industry of the entire
world has been unsurpassed by any

Senator Nathan F. Bryan of Florida
told this anecdote along the Weary
Willie line:
Some time ago a hobo meekly tap
ped on the back door of a suburban
home and. asked for something to eat.
-The good housewife responded that
she would feed him on the back„step
along with Kido, providing he was
willing to earn the meal by cleaning
out the gutter.
The tramp agreed, nnd when he had
j eaten his way through several sand
wiches to a feeling of happiness, the
housewife came out with a reliable
looking hoe.
"You needn't have gone to that trou
ble, maflam," said the hobo, sizing up
the farm Implement. "1 never use n
hoe in cleaning out a gutter." J
"Never use a hoe!" said the woman
with a wondering expression. "What
do you use, then, a shovel?"
"No, madam," replied the hobo,
starting for the back gate, "my meth
od is to pray for rain."
