MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNTI 23, 1933.
Applegate Spends Cold
Night in Iced Car Bound
For Sights of New York
New York City. June 18.
To th. 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-

whit modified whan the storekeeper
plunges tot vile looking hand deep
Into the herrel, In order to get ft
fresher, more up-nosey sort of pickle
to go with the fresher and more up-
nosey clothes that you are wearing,
and which are the outward si? a that
you are an outsider.
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

from Notre Dame and Vanderbilt and
Southern California and all the rest,
to get his name In the paper, hasn't

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

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.

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

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.
