New York Letter by Lucy Joanne Price The chorus girl cohorts have faded away from Broadway and from all of Manhattan. Where have they gone? That's what the producers want to know. Early in the summer there were thousands of them. The Times Square district was so filled and covered and thronged with them that an ordinary person felt rather drab and middle, aged just to venture within sight of it. But they've gone. It was a pretty hard summer for them and the musical comedy directors have reached the tragic conclusion that they've given up and gone home to the farm and the village where there's a place to sleep and food to eat and no "walking the weary." "I'm putting on four musical shows," said one the other day, "and I can't get girls to fill them. I think the girls got too close to the broadline this summer and when wires came from home that the fatted calf was waiting to be killed, they made for the railroad stations." Perfumed gloves are the latest fad just hitting Fifth-ave from Paris. This ancient custom is being revived with vim over there and New York is already getting a whiff of it. N Y LETTER The "Housewives' Wagon" is the latest enterprise of the Housewives Welfare Association, Inc., in its efforts to battle against that most talked-of subject in the world. It is a regular hucksters' outfit, fruit, vegetables and all, that is being started out around our city streets to sell its products at the housewives' front doors. It will probably be able to do considerable; but the announcements of its hopes sound almost too optimistic to be entirely mathematical. "The association expects to be able to deliver at 100 per cent below grocery store prices," says the published statements. Can you fancy the way of paying a grocery bill from which 100 per cent has been cut off? Indiana itself is nothing like that! has another equally prominent lady hailed to court for having thrown a tomato at her and barely missing her frock, it takes on new interest. So the automobiles thronged the courtyard when Miss Adele Campbell was pressing her charge against Mrs. Madeline le Compte Roos, whose screen she saw closed immediately after the ripe, red tomato had grazed her arm. Mrs. Roos was indignant at the accusation. "Undoubtedly," she explained, "the tomato had just ripened and had fallen from the tree." James Curtis of 855 Morris avenue can boast of being a combination which is truly unique in this whole country. He is a preacher by night and a sandwich man by day. The two vocations serve to make him quite a man of the world with a good working knowledge of humanity at large. By daylight he walks the streets, carrying advertising signs for various material articles; but when the street lights come on, he takes his stand on a prominent street corner and advertises the gospel. He gets a good deal of heckling from his street crowds but he always departs with a smile on his face and his hat filled with silver. Mr. Curtis is 73 years old and claims that he has travelled all over this country, carrying signs by day and preaching by night. He came to New York in 1903 and has found sufficient field here for both occupations to hold him ever since. It may pass as sentiment but it's actually just a matter of being sure to get back one's own hat, declare the hat check girls anent the New York man's new and rapidly spreading rod of carrying a snapshot of his wife or baby or some one else less related pasted carefully inside the crown of his hat. "They may get by at home with the pretty thought of having their loved ones always near," said a check girl in one Broadway restaurant, "but if you see the joy with which they grab the right hat without having to try it on and wonder about it, you'd realize it was just man's love of convenience that makes that pretty little thought so contagious. What he'd really like to do is to put his own picture in, but he hasn't got the nerve." Already there are mutterlings, in the senate, of "executive encroachment" upon the prerogatives of that... Long Island society seems to get more thrills out of life than the same role anywhere else in the country. When it isn't a spectacular automobile accident, it's a fashionable and sensationable divorce, and when it's goither of those things—it's a tomato! A tomato sounds innocuous and hardly interesting; but when one lady of established social position, They may get by at home with the pretty thought of having their loved ones always near," said a check girl in one Broadway restaurant, "but if you see the joy with which they grab the right hat without having to try it on and wonder about it, you'd realize it was just man's love of convenience that makes pretty little thought so contagious. What he'd really like to do is to put his own picture in, but he hasn't got the nerve." Already there are mutterings, in the senate, of "executive encroachment" upon the prerogatives of that august body. This is familiar to Mr. Harding. He doubtless indulged in the same pastime when he was senator. Disdain not the boys who start in the country school and stammeringly recite "Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight" on public days. From such humble beginnings are presidents and senators and ambassadors developed. CREAM PUFF Published By THE EXCELSIOR CREAMERY Vol. I Published Monthly in This Paper Lower The High Cost of Living!

"Eggs a la Creme," made by adding two cups white sauce to four hard boiled eggs which have been chilled and sliced, and garnishing with chopped parsley, may be served at luncheon. The Story of Cottage Cream Once upon a cast out her wicked bride, she fled to her lowly suburban food. But there was cottage, save that was sour, ject was too milk from his mouth.

PROTECTS PUBLIC With an automobile for every seven persons in California, it is no wonder that the rest of the country is turning envious eyes toward the Golden State, and that automobile and accessory manufacturers are making greater efforts to secure California business than ever before. Then, too, California motorists are insisting on better facilities for the repairing and service of their machines. They demand the best and are seeing that they get it. The California Auto Trade Assn., made up of 3500 motor car dealers, repair men and accessory men, are co-operating in their efforts to eliminate the irresponsible repairman and to place the automotive industry on a higher business plane. That the orignation is succeeding, is proved by the lessening mortality rate among motor cars, and others engaged in the business, and the better service accommodations for California motorists everywhere in the state. The California Auto, Trade Assn. has for its slogan "clean and attractive places of business," and you will notice in your travels that it is becoming harder to find dirty, greasy places. The association realizes that the clean places of business mean more business for the garage man, and he is seeing the light in increasing patronage. Then too, the association members have been "sold" on the idea of maintaining staffs of mechanics who know their business and who can render service at the least expense commensurate with efficient work. A great deal of good has been done throughout California and the west, and the work is going on with renewed vigor.

Special services cover 16 of the principal grain states, the regional center being at Chicago, Ill., 11 of the principal cotton states with New Orleans, La., as the regional center; rice and sugar sections of the south, with six special reporting stations. Special reporting stations are also maintained in the principal tobacco, potato, alfalfa seed, cranberry, citrus and deciduous fruit-growing regions. All told, the weather bureau of the United States department of agriculture receives 4,500 reports twice a day, totaling more than 3,000,000 code words annually. If it's from Witman's it’s good. YOUNG BRIDES LONDON, Sept. 16.—At Howden, Hull, Leeds and neighboring towns where lived the wives and relatives of many of the men whose lives were snuffed out by the RR-3 disaster, there was the keenest grief. In these places were the English brides of the American men, who came to England for the trans-ocean flight. These young women had been eagerly awaiting the time of the ZR-2's start for America, and had expected soon to follow on board a government transport to their new homes. The wives of American officers beaved by the disaster were those of Lieutenant Commander Coll and Lieutenant Commander Little.

SHIPPING BOARD CUTTING PERSONNEL BY ONE-THIRD WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—Since the shipping board was reorganized in June it has made a net reduction of 381 employees which makes possible an annual saving in salaries of $401,471. The end is not yet. A short time after Chairman Lasker took charge, he made a survey of the personnel of the shipping board with the result that several bureaus have been entirely abolished and the order has gone forth that employees doing work which was useless for practical purposes should be dismissed. The board has decided to make a net reduction of one-third in its personnel by the end of the calendar year, as compared with the number on its payroll when it took charge in June.
