M Astoria Oregon f New York News Letter NEW YORK, July ll.-Bomb-throwing is becoming so common in New York that it might almost.be called a habit. So frequent are these explosions that the district in which i':ost of them occur has been given the title of "the dynamite zone". This terror ridden area lies on the east side of the city in the Italian quarters, extending one block east and west and including eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth streets from north to south. Since the first of the year there have been no less han ten serious dynamite explosions in this turbulent territory, while minor ones doing comparatively little damage are of almost daily occurance and too numerous to record. In five adjoin ing tenements on Eleventh Street, which constitute the very heart of the "dynamite zone" there have been no less than six large bombs exploded in the last three months. As a result of these little incidents the tenements have been practically rebuilt several times, having been pretty thoroughly wrecked by each explosion. In this section a large proportion, of, the population carries pocket bombs ready to be hurled at anybody against whom a grievance fancied or real exists. That the list of casualties is not enormously greater is due to the fact that most of those who commit the outrages are not expert bomb manufacturers. Usually the smaller infernal machines fail to go off at the right time, thus giving the intended victim time to get out of danger. Strenuous efforts are being made to stamp out the bomb-throwing epide-" mic, but in spite of all the efforts of the police is continues to grow. In deed it is stated that the setting off of the bomb in the dynamite zone was done merely as an expression of contempt tor the police. Oddly enough more than three-fourths of all the dynamite outrages occur at just about the same houi- four o'clock in the morning. Xew York's ancient whipping post. long since abolished; has finally been revived and brought up to date in the form of a spanking room technically known as "spankatorium number one" Indeed within a single week the city has instituted both municipal chas tisement and municipal bodily clean- iness. Both these innovations, how ever, effect only the juvenile portion of the population. The spankine room, the modern equivalent of the whipping post, is a newly installed adjunct of the children's court. While the city does not do the actual chas tising it furnishes all the necessary outfit leaving the final act to the parent of the young offender. The spankatorium is liberally furnished with rules, switches, slippers and the like, together with several solid chairs and a table. Two atendants are also on hand to bold any youngster who may show fight. Of course the sen tence of a spanking is not imposed by the court, but only offered to the parents as an alternative to a term in an institution for their offspring, it being the opinion of the judge that the spanking will produce better re sults. In this idea he finds ready support among the parents of the children who come before him, since in every case where the spanking has been suggested the suggestion has been promptly acted upon. To Abie Epstein, a youthful pickpocket, fell the questionable honor of testing for the first time the spanking room. Judged by his remark it is going to prove a howling success. In every case after the punishment has been administered the culprit is recalled to the court room to explain publicly ;why he has been spanked. In addit iion to thus administering doses of the rod the city is also washing about j 50,000 boys every week in the baths j which it has just opened. Among jthc youngsters the new baths are far jmore popular than the novel spanka torium. Have just received a fresh supply of Imported Macaroni and Spaghetti "and ; Martin's Full Cream Cheese A. V.

PHONE 711 PHONE 3871 UNIONJTOWN BRANCH PHONE 713 Crafting on the part of well-known society women has reached such a state in this city that dressmakers, milliners and department stores gen- jerally are seriously considering vari jous means of stopping it. There are not one but many women in New (York today who never pay a cent for J their clothes, the price coming out of j their friends or the shops which they i patronize. The strange feature of I this graft is found in the fact that it j is practised by women who could well I afford to pay for their clothes. In jdecd it is of necessity practiced only I by them since to carry out this game successfully recogniged social posi tion is necessary. The method of procedure is surprisingly simple. A woman merely decided which dress maker she wishes to patronize and then orders her dresses. After the order is given she explains that she has a large number of friends whose trade she could bring to the establish ment. Moreover she will promise to bring them provided she is furnished the dress free of charge. Otherwise she will take them elsewhere. Of course the more prominent the woman the easier the game, and the proprietor can hardly afford to turn down her offe ri nany event. If she succeeds in carrying out her agreement the cost of he rsupplies is simply tacked on to her friends bills. she fails to do so it is paid by the proprietor. This graft applies not only to wearing ap parel but to many other things as well. It was recently brought to light that two prominent women, wives of multimillionaires, were get ting their portraits for nothing from a photographer who regularly charges $100 a dozen for pictures. One of the two actually did in exchange bring some of her friends there. The other did nothing. It seems to be a difficult matter to stamp this graft out, for few dealers care to risk of fending a wealthy woman who might bring much trade. The evil, how- NEW YORK, tfuly 11.

The man who was within two minutes of being appointed to guard the prop erty of residents in thii city had, it was discovered, already served three jail sentence for burglary and in ad dition had been dishonorably dis charged from the army. A warrant was sworn out and Croughan arrested for perjury.
