Editor: ThU U being written from th editorial room ot the New York American, where I m being tretwrt with the usual courtesy. We have n appointment with the theatre editor aoon ae I tlnlah this, and may be we'll get a few passes to a good how. New York looka about the same, except Jor the new Radio City, which aeema to be about finished. It Is about seventy floore, not aa high as the Chrysler or Empire State buildtnga. but much wider. The reat of the akyllne remains unchanged. We bad a rather tough time get ting here from Niagara Falls. At Buffalo we talked to a "bull." and v,- sim us ta aa ahead and Ret on the train, neglecting to mention, however, that we'd get pulled on a vrmu. Oettlnz nulled off at Syr aeuae was a blessing, however, since the car we were in had Ice In it. You know those refrigerator cars k.t ahln Medford Dears In? In each end Is a little compartment with a trap door onto tno row, jc Is put. When we got on the tm. made ud mostly of remger ators, we thought that several were empty, because tney weren v unyF'" water. On , pnt nn ton of one of these and rode 'till It got dark and sort mirf. Boon as were were chilled through, we decided to go down Into ih. mr whore it was warm, w" . lamrhi Th Ice bunker was empty all right, but the main part of the car was full of lettuce, ana me - tuce was bedded down witn ice um If was cold. We got off In Syracuse to try and get warm, and were wandering about when we snotted a cop. Walking up to him, we reached In our pock ets for our credential and prepared n tn him nur atorv. When we i n., hank rjocketa. he Annvuw v " - r - reached for his gun, and shoved It right in our faces. Thought we were trying to hold him up I We got him calmed down long enough to talk to, and were Just explaining ths situation to him when another guy came barging up. This new guy didn't understand our relations with that cop, I guess, -cause he dished Tight Into the fray, and ask ed the bull when the next train go Ing east was due. Thst about floored the oop. but be made a quick recovery, and roar ed out. "What, do you care, you're sot going that way." The guy as sured him that there he waa mla taken, and that he waa going east. Opinions clashed and the cop In Tlted him, along with Don and me, to the police station. At leaat It was warm In the police station. When we arrived, the eop started In on this guy again, spending about ten mlnutea telling him what he thought of him In particular, and all guys on freight trains In general, and then asked him, "Now, which way are you going." The kid didn't answer till he'd been asked two or three times, and then aald. "Well, I thought t was going east, but you seem to know more about It than I do." We gave the kid credit for having a lot of nerve, but hardly much tact. When we left the cop waa roaring threate at him about putting him some where where he wouldn't have a chance to get smart with his betters. They made ua leave Syracuse on the Highway, and we got to Little Falls that afternoon. But further we could not get. So down to the freight tTaln again. We got out of there about dark, and Into Albany at midnight, and then, after a two or three hour wait In , a switch ahack. where we exchanged Ilea with the switchman, we got on another refrigerator ear. This car didn't have any Ice In It, but It did have tri angular steel bars on the bottom that were hardly Induclve to sleep. We were so sleepy by that time, though, that we went to aleep any way, and woke up at Osalnlng, where Sing Sing prison kt located. We stayed out of sight until well down towarda Yonkers before again emerg ing! The train atopped Just under neath the George Washington bridge cross the Hudson, so we got off there and "cleaned up" at boat bouse on the river. You'd under stand the quotes better If you'd ever had to wash and shave with cold water and no soap I Then we hid that awful pack that I mentioned having ao much trouble with In Chi cago, and grabbed a subway Into town, we got a cheap room near the Pennsylvania and New Yorker hotels ao we would have stationery to write home on, and then aet out to see the town. Ths Chrysler building was our first victim. We asked for the man ager of the building, and prestol there he was. Mr. McCann. We told our story, and he took us in like the prodigal son, and while he didn't exactly slay ths fatted calf, he did show us through the build ing, down to the boiler rooms, through some of the offices, up to the observation towers, and all. He eeemed very Interested in our trip, and gave ua hla card, and notes to several prominent people In ship ping snd newspaper work to see if they couldn't see us. When we left, he Invited us back, and told the girl at the observation tower to give ua the free use of the place. Then we went over to the Empire State building. Here we were not so fortunate, in that we didn't get to see the manager, and the girl at the tower ticket booth didn't want to let ua up because the press passes weren't New York ones. We got up, Just the same, and atayed an extra ten mlnutea after the scene nad De- gun to bore us, Just to got even. Don had to get a check cashed, and we had to go down on Wall street to verify the signature, we aaw that part of town the second day. Then down to the water-front. to ahow him the Statue of Lirjerty, After leaving this office today, we're going down there and try to get out to the Island, where It Is located on our press carda. We got to New York too late to see the West Point graduations, so didn't get to sea John Connor and Ben Harrell graduate. I sent a letter there to see If they were going to be around for s few days, anyway, and If they are, I'll see them before we leave. Before leaving San Francisco, Walter Bowne told me that Ruthle Bowne. who Uvea here in New York, would be onthe coast In a few weeks, so there seems little If any use to look her up. I doubt If she remem bers me, anyway. But I am going to try to get out to Annapolla to see George Wlnne, and Lowell Dew, In case Lowell has not left to command the Paclflo fleet. The big angle now that we're try ing to work Is to get on a boat. Harry Acton, who wrltea a dally art icle In this paper, has his omce dir ectly In front of where I'm sitting. and we're trying to get in to see him. He writes s column about boats and people who travel on them, so maybe he can tell ua some angle to work. Getting out of New ioie aeema to be about the toughest part of getting around the world, but I'll bet that we do. Brlabane is always aaylng that what man can Imagine, man can do, and we've been imag ining this trip for some time. A couple of daya ago we went down to aee the Ghetto district. I've been telling Don about It for ages, and now we've actually seen It, and It IS Just aa dirty as I thought it was, although when you get as far away aa Medford It's hard to Imagine. The Ghetto Is the push-card dis trict, and Is located way down on lower Manhattan, on the Eaat aide, mainly on a atreet called Orchard street. It can be amelled for blocks before It can be seen, and the smell should be warning enough. The streets are packed with dirty, swelt ering people. Fishwives hawk their wares from door fronts, and dirty gaunt children vis with dirty gaunt cats for a place to play or fight In the filth of the street. But It Is colorful. Every costume In the world. And every commodity In the world. If your little heart ahould delight In pickle, pickles may be had. Your delight will no doubt be some- ROSE GROCERY 206 West Jackgon LAURA D. STEWART, Owner SPECIALS for Sat., Sun., Mon. MEAT I COFFEE Baby Beef Roast, lb 10t M. J, B.

And cherries. The Ghetto takes pride in Its cherries. The stands are conscientiously dusted after every whirlwind of dirt uown that dirtiest of all dirty streets, and In order not to transfer any alien germs to the fruit, the me dirty duster Is used to "clean" the cherries. The pumpkin seeds, , for human food, which ao surprised me before, are again In evidence, along with a few peach seeds, the delicacy of all delicacies in the seed line. Here is a place where a cup of them has been spilled In the gutter, and the proprietor It Is now who fights with the children for their possession. The garbage In the streets does not remain long a mystery; There la a swish from an upstairs tenement window, and a package of garbage crashes to the street, regardless of whether someone may be below or not. The minute It hits, several hu man derelicts, calling themselves "rag-pickers" will pounce upon It, hoping to find something Inside to reward them for their search. You stop to listen to an argument between two of the peddlers. Imme diately your arm Is grabbed by a third, and you are shown a complete line of underclothes before you can get your arm loose. By that time, your eye will have fallen upon one of the grape dealers' wagons. What's this? Grapes that move? It's a sinking sensation to find that fllee, In the gloom can look so much like the grapes upon which they are clus tered. Do you need a corset? We were offered several. The fact that we didn't have the least use for them, and that they were slightly out of shape through having been worn, didn't seem to disqualify us as po tential customers. Not In the least. Our clothes, Indicating that we might have a few cents more than the or dinary run, overcame any such fine points of delicacy on the salesmen's part. After a few blocks of this gaunt let, when we had weathered the food and clothing department, and were gradually becoming used to the smell as we also gradually drew away from the dried fish department Into the used light-globe and twine depart ments, Chinatown, with Its clean, fresh smelt of rat soup and Its kin dred horrors held no longer a dread, for us, and we decided to Improve I our position by paying It a visit. It was Just "toufist" time, and we arrived at that critical moment when the Chinese Inhabitants were rushing to change from their plus- fours and linen coats to the man darin cloaks the tourist demands. The situation was really funny. A young Chinaman, Just home from Colum bia university or New York univer sity, would rush Into a shop in his school clothes, and emerge a few min utes later in a black box hat and flowing robes to wait on customers. One minute there would be a rush and bustle, and shouts In English to "Hurry It up, BUI," and the next all would be quiet, the sound of Chi nese talk, the air of Chinese mys tery, with slow movements and tiny steps, as a huge sight seeing bus would come slowly up the narrow twisting street. A guide would be shouting the places of Interest, and at every stop people would rush Into a shop to "get-tee a clgalet-tee" from the Chinese boy who a few moments before had been singing American songs, with an American accent, on the corner. Soon as the bus had disappeared, the American atmosphere would again be In vogue. But the "tourlsta" hud been satisfied, and the Chinese wares, made In Hoboken, would have been sold. After viewing Chinatown rem this angle, we walked back to our room and went to bed, mumbling ancient Confucian axioms to ourselves. Today we looked up some more steamship lines, but aa Don hasnt his birth certificate as yet. It was all half-hearted, 'cause we can't get our pose-ports anyway. Soon as we Commissioner 4v 'rid m ON RETAJL SALES Albert 8. Qosa (above) of Seattle, Wash., has been appointed federal (and bank commissioner to succeed Paul Bestor, resigned. (Associated Press Photo- get them we leave and start the best part of our Journey. All of the kids In Medford prom ised to write to me while I was gone. Bob Spalding, Nooks Naumes, Jack Boyl, John Reddy (I see that old hoax of Reddy's about having guests from Notre Dame and Vanderbilt and Southern California and all the rest, to get his name In the paper, hasn't been spiked yetl) and the Colvlgs, not to mention a dozen others. Bob la the only one who has kept his promise. Hooray for Bob, and a cou ple of Phooeys for those other guys. Sometime they'll be off on a trip, and I won't write to them, and won't they be sorry. The time draws near for our ap pointment with that theater editor. and that Is something I don't want to miss, so Iil finish this tomorrow. DICK. (Tomorrow) This last part of this article Is being written from the editorial rooms of the tabloid paper, the New York Dally News, which has a circu lation of over two million dally I Peo ple claim that they hate, and won't read, a tabloid scandal sheet like this paper claims to be, but that's big circulation! And the offices are the nicest we've been in, and this is the first typewriter that really works well. Yesterday, at the American offices, we saw our editor, Mr. Connie Miles, and he called up the press-agent, Mr. Washburn, of the musical comedy hit, "Music In the Air," and got us two passes. The seats were aisle ones, in the orchestra, and would or dinarily have cost us three dollars and thirty cents apiece. The play was swell. Featured In It was Al Shean, of the old tesm of Oallagher and Shean, and this marks his return to Broad way after a long absence. He wns great. The music was good, and the dialogue was, better. When you come to New York, you must certainly see It. Now It remains for us to see the rest of the theater editors In town and see the rest of the legiti mate shows. It seems easy enough. Tonight we've been Invited to a talking picture at the Radio City Roxy, the largeet talking picture," or any other kind, for that matter, theater In the world. This newspaper Same Is a racket. One big shot after another In these editorial rooms has assured us that It Is possible that we might get an Interview with O. O. Mclntyre, so to day we wrote to him to find out what our chances were. If we get that, I'll have a real story next time, and until then, you'll have to be content with this one from DICK APPLBQATB. Pierce's Hot H'.use tomatoes at your grocer's. The quality is fine and the price la right. SALEM, June 33. (AP) State In spector J. H. S tans berry, with the aldt of county Inspectors, set out to day to enforce the new law of the last legislature providing grading ot all fruits sold at retail. The law will be applied first to strawberries and cherries, Stansberry stated. Under the new law all containers must be labeled U. 8.. No. 1, 3, or culls, as the case may be. Every crate must carry on the end the name and address of the grower. If from an association, the association label may be pasted on the end of the crate. The crate must also car ry the Insignia that It containers 24 12 -ounce h alloc ks and the net weight of the contents of the crate must be IB pounds. Stansberry stated that on some In spections he made in Portland yes terday he found crates where the contents of one ha Hock would fill three other hallocks In the crate. And on the other hand he found some hallocks where three of them would be required to fill one If the law were followed. The new law applies to everybody who retails fruit, whether grocer, market, roadside stand, peddler from house to house, or whoever sells berries at retail. However, It does not apply to fruits being taken to cannerlea or by-product houses. 'S WATCHUNG, N. J.. June 23.
