PXGE STOUT IfEDFCRD TifATL TRIBTTN"E, irEDPOKD, OTfEGON. SUNDAY, JULY 2, 1933. Applegate Enjoys Shows Of New York on Passes While Seeking Sea Ride Editorial Booma Herald-Tribune, New York City, June 36. 1033 To the Editor: It trows lncreaalngly doubttul u to whether Don and Dick ehould go on and continue their trip around the world, or Just aettle down here In New York and become drama erlttca for the beat newapapera in town. About all we've done during the laat week If go to awell shows, and after having aeen them, wa re port our reactlona to the drama editors of the varloua papers about town, who have made It poaalble for ua to attend. Laat week t mentioned having at' tended "Mualo in the Air." The next night we were Invited by my old friend here, Walter raley, to the Radio City Mualo Hall. It waa a pic ture. Ellssa Landl and Warner Bai ter In "X loved You Wednesday." It haa no doubt been In Medford by now, ao 1 need not mention how good It was, but the etage ahow with It waa great. The Maid of the Mlat, which I mentioned from Niagara Falla. waa the central theme, and the whole thing waa almoat unbelievable In Ita beauty. Thealere Grow. When I waa here laat year, the Roxy theater waa the largest In the world. Then they built the new Roxy, even larger. And now the Music Hall, under Roxy'a direction, too, which la larger than either. And I aald that New York hadn't changed I The night after aeelng the movie, wa went to "Tattle Tales," starring Prank Fay and Barbara Stanwyck, Boy, It was great, ray had hla own name on the program 31 tlmea, and hla wife In only alx places, which didn't alt ao well until you'd aeen the ahow. It waa one latiRh from atart to finish, and Pay waa the whole ahow. Barbara Stanwyck took a won derful ovation on her re-portrayal of the pulpit scene from "The Miracle Woman." In fact we enjoyed the whole thing Immensely. We were the (tint of Burns Mantle, dramattlc critic of the Dally News, on that oc casion, i The next few daya we didn't aea any ahowa. but on Friday we went Into the Herald Tribune editorial rooms, and saw Mr. Newman, the theater editor. Dee, he waa awell to ua. Bet ter, even, than the others, although that In Itself la almost unbelievable. He got ua two .seat for "One Sun day Afternoon." a stage play which haa been a decided hit. And It should be. It waa entirely different than either of the other two atago ahowa. The first waa a good musical comedy, the second was a awell farce, and thla waa a delightful comedy. Who Said N. Y. Hard. When wa went back to thank Mr. Newman for hla kindness, he gave ua two more tickets, thla time to a flrat night show, "The Church-mouse." Again, they were orchestra aeat. We hardly know how to thank him. And New York la aupposed to be "the" hard-boiled town of the continent. In all. we've seen 636.40 worth of ataga ahowa, ao far. On our way home each nlte, from the theater district, which Is located in the well-known "roaring fortiea," we paaa In front of the Hotel New Yorker. And every night ws aee a fight, The taxlcaba, of which New York la reputed to have 40,000. line up for four or five blocka toanare their Tlctlms aa they come from the hotel. Aa you can readily see. It would be Impossible to line up across the Intersecting streets, ao that leaves four or five gapa In the line. Aa the leading taxi moves away from the front of the line, loaded, the others all move up one place. And every time thla happens, aomeone cruising by In another cab trios to edge his own way Into these Intersection gaps, rather than wait hla turn. Immediately this happens, the driver behind goes Into a tantrum, leapa from hla own cab, tears up to ths one In front, and dlihea out a lot of abusive Isngusge to the chtseler In front. Now, sll this naturally does not argue for close harmony among the brethern, and all of them, aay, Parmalee cab drivers will align them selves with the Parmalee cab, and all the Plve-boro drivers will Join the festivities on the other side, and among the 30 or 30 thus Involved, they generally manage to make the party go. The police. I think, sre getting a Mt tired of thla game, for they have to stop It when It gets too boisterous each time. So far. It has been quite a Job every night we've gone by. About s block from thla spot la the restaurant In which we gener ally eat. There Is one particular guy behind the counter who doesn't sit well on Don's disposition. They have a regular fight every time we go In there. We'd go somewhere else, but thla one la the cheapest In the nei ghborhood. Things went along In this vein for a week or ao, and then we framed the guy. Soon as he etartsd to art arnart, we were to pull our little set. Halter Ouwlttrd. Ws hadn't long to wait. Two mln- , utoe after we'd lined up, he atarted ! In. So first we dropped a quarter I cm the floor, to show him that It was NOT rlesn. and then we dropped It over the counter Into the beef atew. (Thla waa a cafeteria.) He chivied It about with a fork for some minutes, and by that time several customers had become Interested In the chsse. snd cheered him on encouragingly. When h had finally retrieved the coin, he had aome notion of passing out the atew anyway, but he little recked the ghoulish cunning of his opponents. We hadn't dropped that quarter In the atew In front of 33 people for nothlngl They put up an awful howl, snd the guy had to dump It out, and his boss put up another, meanwhile we were clamoring, among our apparently abject apologies, for our vhangs. Never try to cross us, I yo-sll. Speaking of places to est, ws gen- rally breakfast st place down the atreet from our '"apartment" In j dump run by a Jew. The waiters 'are Italian, and the cook la Japanese. Our ' Undtorrt is a tircek. the chambimaid ! la Polish, and speaks Russian, snd ws send our laundry to m Chinaman. Ws wers invited out to the Bronx Saturday to eat an Italian dinner with aherry wine and the other guests wers Jewtah. Cosmopolitan, that'a what we're becoming. Laat week we went down to the sub-treasury building on Wall atreet to get our pass-ports. I had my birth certificate, sent by the state bureau of vital statistics of Oregon, and Don had s baptismal certtflcats from aome town In California. We both handed In our credentials, and the Individual behind the desk, anx ious to uphold the passports depart ment's reputstlon for red-tape, pored over It 'till he finally found s date missing. The thing had the aeal of the atate on It, when I was born, and where, who the attending physician was, the color of my hair and eyea. and even confirmed the fact thst I wss legitimate. Wss that enough for thla gimlet-eyed minion of the pass port office? NO I He said that It lacked the Important feature of when the record was entered on the state books. Ssld that waa the Important thing to the big shots In Waahlngton. After he had disposed of ma In this manner, he felt better, snd turned to Don. Taking the baptismal cer tificate, which had no seal on It at all, and looking at me out of the cor ner of his eys, hs said. "Yes, this will do very nicely." I guess he didn't know we were together, the sap. Luck ily, I had several other documenta In our room, proving that I had been born, ao we atymled him the next day, Phooey on those guys I i St. Mary's Boys Score. A couple of daya later ws went out to the Statue of Liberty on our press carda, and while atandlng gaping out one of the port holee In the old lady'a head, we aaw s couple of Saint Mnry'a belt buckles on s pslr of enemlc look ing Indlvldusls, ao we bulged out our Santa Clara belt bucklea so that they could see them, but darn little rise thst got out of them. Don opened negotiations by telling them that we were from Santa Clara, that we were big ahot newspaper correspondent from the coast (this for the benefit of a rsther good looking girl on the edge of the audience, who paid no attention to It), and that we knew several guya at St. Mary'a. These two sickly looking aamplea of American studenthood murmured, "Oh, Is thst so?" In a dlalntereated voice, as they moved off. Then, ss tho they hsd suddenly remembered their mannera. added "Sorry we beat you again in football thla year." O-r-r-r-rl They wouldn't have felt ao auperclllous about that, I think, if they'd remem bered that even Oregon did thatl How sre you, Prink?

I don't know whether they Just hsven't heard about the Noble Experiment, or think that It haa been repealed. One would think that, ss long as ws sre trying to get to Europe on a boat, thla would be quits a column on shipping newa, but to tell the truth, we've hardly even seen the water yet. We went out to Coney Island, to aee If It were still ss foul aa It looked last time, and after as certaining that It moat certainly was, we took a look at the Atlantic ocsan. Don for he flrat time, and went on home. , .Boat Trip DHayed. Instead of trying the boats direct, we've been going to the offices, and trying to talk the president Into let ting ua go, but that doesn't work. Bo now we're trying the boats direct, and that doesn't work either. But It will. It'll take mors thsn this measly little Atlantic ocean to atop us. Mr. Newman of the Herald Tribune told ua to exhaust all our leada, and If we didn't find anything that way, to come back In and he'd go to the shipping editor with us, snd maybe we'd be able to find something that way. I said before that he was a swell guy. Remember my saying that I was going to try snd Interview Mclntyre? Oot a card from him today. "Thanks for your cordial letter (I laid It on pretty thlckl) and gracious thought. I sm off on s motor trip tomorrow, but will be back In New York In three weeks snd will be glad to see you then. Cordially, o. O. Mclntyre. So that'a that. Ws won't be here three weeks from now probably, but If we ere, I'll get that Interview after all. At least I've got a card from him. In hla own handwriting, too. At least It's handwriting. I suppose It's his. ' We're trying to get sn Interview with Al Smith, now. I suppose he'll be tsklng s trip to the top of the Em pire Stste building, snd will bs un able to see us. Oh, well, they'll sll be trying to see US In a few more years, after we discover a new conti nent, or something. Maybe we al ready have. Columbua didn't know he'd discovered one either. I hops, In ths historical statues they'll have of me In the future, they won't ahow the hole In my panta leg that I burned trying to press the foul things myself. How Far Is Westf There are two klda who live out In ths Bronx that Don and t met In Chicago, who have their picture In the Bronx Home Newa today for being so Intrepid as to get ss fsr West ss Chicago on a hltch-hlklng trip.

Leonard Electric Co., Holly Bldg. A lady writes to say that she does not understand why an S-oyllnder car does not cost more to run than a car with fewer cylinders. She refers to my statement that our Ford V-8 develops more power on a gallon of gas than any car we have made. The use of 8-cylinders does not mean the addition of two or four extra fuel consumers. It is not, for example, a 4-oylinder engine multiplied by two. Our 8-oylinder engine takes the fuel supply of an ordinary 4-cylinder engine and divides it eight ways. And why? By reducing four larger explosions into eight smaller ones, we get engine smoothness and quietness. Eight-cylinders indicate the way the gas is used, not the amount It is Just the difference between'going ' upstairs in four long Jumps or in eight ordinary steps. Two things use up gas bad engine design and useless car weight. Besides having an engine that gets a high percentage of power out of the fuel, the Ford V-8 has a light, strong body and chassis so that no power ' is wasted in moving excess weight. The only extravagance about the new Ford V-8 engine is in the building of it. The extravagance is ours the economy is yours. The whole question of car economy needs clearing up. An economical car gives economy all round. Price, operation, upkeep, all play their part. If what you save on gas you lose elsewhere, that is not economy. As to upkeep, our dealers say that in recent years the iaproved quality of Ford cars has out down their repair business 50 per cent. As to price with quality, Judge for yourself. As to economy, here is the record of a stock car three weeks out of shop in Oklahoma: On a run of 10,054 miles at the rate of 1,000 Riles a day the Ford V-8 gave 18.8 miles per gallon of gas. Not a drcp of water was added to the radiator. The oil was changed once in 1,000 miles. That should answer a lot of questions. June 30th, 1933 SEATTLE YOUTH S CROWN AS P.N, A.

The Seattle youth, runner-up In the national public links tournament last year, proved his championship caliber by taking sn early lead and holding doggedly to It throughout most of the day,- although Taylor managed to pull up all square on the 27th. In the first three holes, he look a one-hole lead, and at the end of nine he Increased It to three up. At the end of the first 18 holes, when the two drenched contestants went to lunch, Campbell was still out In front, two up. In the finals of the women's cham pionship, also over the 36 -hole route, Mra. Vera Hutching, of Vancouver, won her sixth title, overwhelming Miss Marlon McDougall, of Portland, another. 19-year-old player, 7 and 6.
