On the Sidewalks of New York By OBSERVER (Correspondence to The Gazette New York Steamboats) More excursion boats operate out of New York City than any other port in the whole world. There must be at least fifty lines running daily to nearby resorts, not to mention the palatial steamers which ply between here and New England points. The favorite trip is the one up the Hudson river, either to Albany, 142 miles, or forty miles to West Point. The latter trip, which ends in the famed Highlands where Rip Van Winkle held forth 200 years ago, and which enables one to see the cadets on parade, is a never fading pleasure. Inexpensive Pleasures Nowhere can one get as much for one's money as one can on the steamboats. For between $1 and $2 one can call in comfort all day past the most beautiful scenery, enriched by historical associations, in perfect comfort and safety. One of the few objections is that the passageways on all boats are crowded and it takes a long time to get off at the pier. This has been arranged purposely. Narrow entrances have been found to break up incipient panics better than anything else. In a theater the reverse is the case, but on a boat the plan is to break the crowd up into small units which can be handled by the crew. A Terrible Memory Those whose memories run back 30 years will recall the most disastrous happening that ever took place on an excursion boat—the time when the Gen. Slocum went down in the East River with a loss of more than a thousand lives, nearly all women and children. The terrible accident eclipse in paths anything of its kind in history, because it was easily preventable. Even when the Eastland turned turtle in Chicago a few years ago, the loss was much smaller and was not confined entirely to women and little children. The Gen. Slocum caught fire and before her captain could beach her the frenzied passengers died in the panic. For years the excursion business was at a low ebb but since then has picked up. Actually, one is as safe on such a steamboat as anywhere in the world. Long Island Sound Sailing up Long Island Sound the other day one passed through simply hundreds of small boats of all kinds, from millionaires' craft, including famous racing yachts with masts 90 feet high, to little rowboats with a "kicker," otherwise a small gasoline motor. Everybody on the water appeared to be enjoying themselves hugely. The waves were too small to endanger the little craft and whenever one headed for shore a beautiful sight greeted one. One could see Theodore Roosevelt's country mansion at Oyster Bay at one time, while on the opposite mainland were the small villages where millionaires, artists and others who commute into the big city have formed happy colonies. Other Cheap Trips Aside from the day-long excursions, there are numerous other trips to be Light Summer Orange Day Heavy Peach Crop a Chance of Lower Valley Prices During the summer, the California oranges is light unpressure from record sales and other seasonal summer ing at extremely low prices. Shipments of California oiling August totaled 4895 paired with 3577 in 1930, and due to lower buying power supplies of oranges and o August prices showed a d July levels. Present estimates indicate change Valencia shipment somewhat less than in 1929 cars of Exchange oranges after that same date. In 1930 orange prices from September end of the shipping season siderably higher than the entire crop. Oranges Were Small During August the average California Valencia oranges proximately 243, compared with 1930 and 249 during the same year. Indications are that continue to be smaller during months of the ship. The Exchange will contour of over 75 percent of Valencia crop for the remaining season. The trend of orange throughout the United States is being closely followed movement will be regulate elphments will not exceed and overload the markets.

J.C.LAMB, County Tax Clerk Hall of Records, Santa Bright Summer Orange Demand Heavy Peach Crop a Chief Cause of Lower Valencia Prices During the summer, the demand for California oranges in America consumes markets was light under heavy pressure from record sales of peaches and other seasonal summer fruits sold at extremely low prices. Shipments of California oranges during August totaled 4895 cars, compared with 3577 in 1930, and 6784 in 1929. Due to lower buying power and heavy applies of oranges and other fruits, August prices showed a decline from early levels. Present estimates indicate that Ex-change Valencia shipments will be somewhat less than in 1929 when 9458 tons of Exchange oranges were shipped over that same date. In 1929, Valencia orange prices from September 1 to the end of the shipping season were considerably higher than the average for the entire crop. Oranges Were Smaller. During August the average size of California Valencia oranges was approximately 243, compared with 212 in 1930 and 249 during the same month of 1929. Indications are that sizes will continue to be smaller during the remaining months of the shipping season. The Exchange will control the shipment of over 75 percent of the total Valencia crop for the remainder of the season. The trend of orange demand throughout the United States and Canada is being closely followed and the movement will be regulated so that shipments will not exceed the demand and overload the markets. Test of Co-Operative Marketing. Commenting on the present orange marketing season, General Manager Paul S. Armstrong said: VERY LATEST by Mary Marshall EYES OF A CAT Everybody knows that a cat can see better in the dark than a human being, but how much better? There was no answer to this question until it was worked out by the biologist, Erich Murr at the Zoological Institute of the University of Koenigsberg. Dr. Murr has succeeded in measuring the cat's sensitivity to light and determining the value of its visual stimulus threshold. The latter is so low than a considerate amount of light than that coming to us from the least-magnitude stars, those which we can just see with the naked eye, still arouses vision in the cat's eye. The light in question is so feeble that the most highly so far priced from eight become just blue green lilometers cat's view for and at low yellow-green This supe due to the layer whit retina and plifler.

With jacket suits and many opaque dresses petticoats are more convenient. So now we take our choice. There are taffeta petticoats. Sometimes these are attached parts of the dresses they are worn with. They are trimmed with scallops and with embroidery and sometimes with tiny frills and pleatings. But the newer silhouette makes crepe de chine the admirable fabric for petticoats. It is so soft and supple and clinging, it washes so well, it comes in such lovely colors, that it combines many of the best qualifications for petticoats. These new wash petticoats can be just as elaborate as you please, and quite as formal as petticoats of taffetta. They are edged with lace, sometimes with lace insets for trimming. For more tailored wear they are finished with a scalloped, double hem. The petticoat in the sketch is an easy one to make for yourself. It is made of four lengths of material. The front length—as long as you wish the petticoat—is ten inches wide. The side lengths are eight inches at the bottom, and are slanted in at both seams so that they are four inches at the top. The back section is thirty inches wide at the bottom, twenty-two at the top. The four pieces are French seamed together, and the top is turned under in a half inch hem. A four-inch length quarter-inch elastic is fastened in this top hem at the seams joining front and sides, extending about six inches into the back. This brings the fullness at the sides and leaves front and back smooth. No Loud Colors on Forest Houses Not content with abolishing sign boards and routing roads according to landscape effects, the U. S.

No Loud Colors on Forest Houses Not content with abolishing sign boards and routing roads according to landscape effects, the U. S. Forest Service has issued an order to holders of permits for commercial concessions on government land in national forests to remove all color screams in the way of placards, and to harmonize the paint jobs on their buildings with various shades of green, brown and gray. According to Regional Forester S. B. Show, there has been so much criticism of the use of loud colors on resorts, service stations and stores located on government land that it is believed commercial permittees will be more successful if the general colors of their structures will conform to the woodland background.

The light that the most highly sensitized photographic plate so far produced must be exposed to it from eight to ten minutes in order to become just perceptibly blackened. To blue green light of 500 millionths millimeters wave length Murr found the cat's visual sensitiveness to be more than forty times greater than man's, and at least eighty times greater to yellow-green light of 620 millimicrons. This superiority appears to be largely due to the activity of a special tissue layer which lines the rear of the cat's retina and seems to act as a light amplifier.
