cording to General Heppeiiliei
lncr of the Port of New York
authority, New York City will
have 50,000 population, and

state, :N"o.k4!, in the Union.

child of today will probably
live to see an American city
with a population greater than
today's popultaion of the Unit
ed States.
New York has adopted the
institution : "Taking a man
for a ride."
Thursday morning, ono who
had ridden was found with a
bullet in his right temple, only
the laundry mark on his silk
shirt to identify him.
The man chosen is put on the
front SCUt, not knowing thut he j
is to travel further than he ever
went before.
fS At the right spot a man on
the back scat puts a bullet in
'A his head. He is thrown out.
j blood stains washed off, and
'j the car is ready for another
i ride.
Kuropc is bewildered by
rarthquakes. Thousands
rliiimes in l?ul((aria were shak
en to tho earth, and the popu
lation hoping that Divine Prov
idence would stop shaking the
earth, walked solemnly around
a city, singing hymns of repent
ance. Divine Providence apparent
ly is not placated.
