THE DALLES DAILY CHRONICLE. FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1921. PAGE NINE NewftM Letter HQ uBW YORK, April 15. It seems a pretty cold-blooded thing; but It's being done right along. Pawning mem bers'of one's own family! That's what it Is. For if poor frightened Fldo is not a member of the family, just what is he? And Fldo, along with the pet canary and the noisome parrot, is being placed in hock' in New York City almost as regularly as Is one's watch and chain. There 1b a .pawn broker in the theatrical boarding house district who makes a specialty of just such loans, keeping the pets lor 90 days all safe and sound. If their masters and mistresses don't appear with the necessary lucre by the end of the 90 days, it' means new masters and mistresses. He even takes snakes into his keeping, and If the snake charmers fail to redeem them, he sells them for ?3 a foot. Parrots are accepted on probation. No matter how amiable and respectable they mv seem, one never can tell. And this is a decorous pawnshop. So if Poll emerges from her silence along dur ing the second day as a profane crea ture, back she goes to her needy own- er. how much closer to Broadway they are in time of reaching there than the residents of the north end of Manhattan Island. Consequently, com muters running for the train the oth er morning were surprised to find the. chief of police selling papers in place of the regular city-like newsboy. The head guardian of the law was asked for an explanation. "Joe's gone tor breakfast," he said. "I didn't have much to do so I told him I'll help htm with his papers while he was gone. Which paper? Yessir." Westchester is not rural. One of New York City'B most accesible su burbs, its denizens always point out ' a The story of $120,000,000 worth of diamonds in sight In Brazilian mines has been brought home by Charles A. Lageson, American mine owner in the South American country. He ex pects Brazilian diamond finds to rival those of South Africa. Ordinary hu man beings will probably never ,put grow the thrill that conies with stor ies of such discoveries. Diamonds either because of their sparkle or their value hold a firm grip on the im agination. And we like to hear Mr. Lageson tell about .those discovered in our own half of the world. American business 'men,' particularly manufac turers, get another kind of thrill out of it, however. Anything, which enrich es South American countries right now is a good thing for us. We can't help a certain selfish satisfaction in it. Low exchange has cut into our ex port trade seriously and such things as this diamond business will even tually help to counteract it. "Among the cheering pieces of news, the facts for the credit side of the ledger, to be considered at the discussions at the coming convention of the Nation-1 be put themselves Into the nineteen vil lage offices; and havo given a brand new polish to their golf club3. There is no one now, to come around and countries with which we want to do 'quote any Sunday ordinance to them; or to enforco any state hiws which may be inconvenient. al Foreign Trade council, ylll every bit of good news from the, ouslness." W. C. Godfrey, export man ager of a leading New York silk con cern, said,' 'I hope we will have a aozen more such reports by the time we go to Cleveland for the convention in May." The newest addition to the pickpoc ket's equipment has nothing to do with fire-arms of black-jacks. It's sim ple but efficacious. Garlic. "Never turn your head away in a crowded car or train ,when you are jammed against someone who has been eating garlic," advised one who is in close touch with New York's criminals and their vagaries. "The odor may not be pleasant, but maybe that's why it's there. Garlio is the pickpocket's friend and he's finding it out and making the most of it.. By eating lib erally of It, he gets a clear field to work undisturbed by the gaze of his victim." Have you a little village of your own? It's a great plan. Nineteen tired business men, who must rest from their labors in the city by golfing un disturbed on Sunday have solved their problem. They are all commuters, liv ing over in New Jersey. And they are all members of the Haddon Country club. iSO they have incorporated the village of Tavistock, whose bounda ries include the club and its links; held a perfectly good legal election: All tho, latest styles and no fasten ings to annoy one! Such is, the 'so lution of civilization come upon by Uie head hunters' wives and daugh ters of Putumnyo. Dr. Herbert S. Dickey, just home from the head wat ers of the Amazon river, in Brazil, told us all abont it and proved his story with photographs. It seems that while their husbands and gentlemen friends are out head-hunting, the ma trons and' maids of this resourceful country study American fashion mag azines which kindly travelers have brought there, and re-produce on their persons in vnri-colored paints the latest New York and Parisian models and frocks. ; The Beit Bio Sitter "Union Station Scenes."
