E. A, L —— e THE NEW YORK SCENE BY PAUL HARRISON ] - NEW YORK — Wonder was expressed in thisl _@pace recently that George M. Cohan hadn’t been s@ersua.ded to write a song to whoop up the NRA ‘drive. Well, Mr. Cohan is writing one—only it may & y take the form of some new lyrics to his great ‘war ditty, “Over There” , . . Incidentally. the ori :gi manuscript of the latter song is in the govern _ment archives at Washington as one of the treas ‘ured “official documents,” The late Leo Feist, music ‘publisher, bought the song outright from Cohan for gz“s,ooo, and later gave the manuscript to the govern ‘ment, Cohan, in turn, gave the $25.000 to a war %fiéfiet organization, ' At @ e . Broadway is popularly supposed to be peopled bY' . lot of sentimentalists, but sometimes it forgets %@Jvlduals who have played important but obscure e in its development ag a Gay Way. The otherl day, for instance, there were small items about the ath of a “retired sportsman” named Henry Wat terson at his summer estate near Saratoga Springs . . As a matter of fact, Watterson was the dis coverer of Irving Berlin, and thus was partly re-| nible for the change in tempo of America’s popular music. : . In the days when Berlin was a pretty terrible per .. and absolutely unknown as a composer, he ‘was making the rounds of Tin Pan Alley with his Tirst pieces, and being laughed out of the very best‘ offices . . . Watterson, who had managed the Crys fal Palace theater and then become a music publlsh-l in a small way, decided that ragtime had a chance) catching on, so he accepted Berlin’s early efforts. Then came “Dorando,” “Alexander’s Ragtime Band"! and others; also the firm of Watterson, Berlin and yder. , . . In 1912 Berlin broke away and formed' his own company. kj—_lncldentally, one of the places where Irving Berlin ! - used to sing in those early days is going to be re-| . vived. It's the Mandarin, in Chinatown, bright and, "”2,‘ antic spot of the Bowery some 25 years ago. . George White, today’'s producer of the Scandals, il 'i"v- there too, and there were many others. The ‘ liters all wore queues, the food was genuinely‘ | Chinese, and the atmospheric thrills were real , . . Now, of course, there'll be chop suey and a jazz ';gnheatra, and if you see an Oriental slinking around el gorner with a dagger in his teeth you may be " Protty sure he's just a stooge for the managemant. "f‘;rgr all that, the district could use another goodl g¥estaurant. Right now the Port Arthur and the Chinese Delmonico’s are about the best, most of their 2 L*lfile rivals having moved up to the Broadway ~ibelt, and right into the clutches of Messrs. Chin and _dee. . . . These two gentlemen have made them- S Belves quite wealthy selling chow mein and chop iguey. vhich they deliver regularly to hundreds of estaurants and also sell in the numerous places they _have come to own by now. Chin and Lee:live in ) \ ch Village instéad of Chinatown. And: by j ! ® way, neither of them ever eats chop suey or chow gt 2 — Most of the gawdy dance-and-dine palaceg are| fontrolled by syndicates of Chinese bankers and im seters, who also deal largely in the kitchen con . cessions of other kinds of night clubs and restau- BARtS. Youw'd be surprised, in fact, to know how‘ ~ many swanky hot-spots have been financed entirely ~ by Chinese capital. ‘ gg.The first major invasion of Broadway by the chop, ~ Buey men was when the Falais Royale became the ~ Palais D'Or. Many of the best bands in the coun _‘?* today played there at one time or another—Guy SiLombardo. Paul Whiteman, B. A. Rolfe, Ted Lewis, 9#Ted Waring and so on. The place prospered and‘l Bt still does—and the Chinese proprietor now goes ' Gminder the name of Mr. D'Or . . . Next to feel‘ " Oriental domination was the old Delmonico’s at Korty-Eighth street and Broadway. It alreofly had A dismally under four different night.club man- SLagen Shis sand once had borne the name of Paul iWhiteman.

But sidewalk Lotharios have learned that it tisn’t healthy to tell them so. 4 Although such establishments are scattered pretty : ? all over town, most of the gypsies live in the Balkan quarter on the lower east side, around Ave- Grand and Broome #treets.

In an article appearing in the Journal of the American Medical Association, dis cussing the rate of infant mortality, the writer, Dr. Morris Fishbein, gives some il luminating and important facts and fig ures as relates to conditions in the United States. In part, the article reads: “For some years now the American Child Health Association has made avail able the report of infant deaths in almost a thousand cities. The records for 1932 are striking and afford valuable informa tion concerning health conditions in vari ous parts of the country. “The total rate for 943 cities was 56.8, the lowest ever attained in this country and approximately half whati the rate wag 20 years ago. 4 ; 1 “The lowest rate in cities with popula tions over 250,000 was for Portland, Ore., with 34 deaths fer each 1,000 births. “St. Paul, San Francisco and Oakland (California) follow closely after Portland with rates of 39 and 40. “In cities from 100,000 to 250,000 pop ulation Long Beach, Cal., is first with 36; Grand Rapids, Mich., second with 37 and Spokane, Wash., third with 40. “Cleveland Heights, Ohio a suburbay city in the 50,000 to 100,000 population class, had no infant deaths of this type and thus leads all the cities of the country. It is followed by Cicero, 111.,, and Berkeley, Cal., each with a rate of 25. “Among the 10 Ilargest cities in the United States, Chicago led with a rate of 49, followed by New York with 51, and Philadelphia and Detroit with 52. But even the remaining six of the largest cities in the United States all show decreases from 1931 rates. The figures for these cities, including Cleveland, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Bostbn, Baltimore and Pitts burgh, range from 53 to 67.” From the foregoing, it will be seen that the death rate for infants in American cities is the lowest on record. . BUYING SWINE FOR THE HUNGRY The proposal of Secretary Wallace, of the Department of Agriculture, for the government to buy five million hogs and Ipay the hog raisers $55,000,000 is not a bad idea. It might, however, encourage lthe hog raisers to produce increased num |bers of swine, just as the farmers have ‘done in increased acreage in cotton. It is proposed by Secretary Wallace to ‘use the half a billion pounds of hog meat for the relief of the unemployed and those dependent upon the government for the \necessities of life. The coming winter 'promises to be hard on those out of work, land unless the municipalities and 'states ]show a more liberal spirit in relief work, ‘the federal government will have a burden {to carry. | While some people are bound to criti {cise the plan, such ecriticism should not |deter the government in its work of pre ‘paring for the worst which is bound to come, unless there is a material change in {present conditions. Whatever price the ‘ government may pay for the meat, it is ‘certain that it will be sufficient to warrant ithe farmers in selling their shoats and hogs. Besides, the surplus of hogs will |bring a better price on the market, there by enabling the raisers to profit from the ‘plan of Secretary Wallace. It should not ibe expected for the governmnt to continue buying hogs; there is a limit to its ability, |and after the proposed purchase is made, it may be a long time before the govern \ment will return to the market as a purch -aser. AN UNIQUE PENALTY | A judge on the Pacific coast has inaugu rated a new policy for the punishment of reckless drivers of automobiles. He allows the convicted driver to follow his daily avocation, but when night comes, the of fending driver is forced to sleep in prison. That kind of a sentence, no doubt, has a greater horror for the guilty than would a straight jail sentence or in a work-house. It has proved quite successful, so it is al leged, and the number of reckless drivers in that section of California has shown a ‘marked decrease. - Why a driver of an automobile loses re gard for the safety of himself to say [nothing of the safety of the public is be yond our conception. Reckless driving rshould corme under the head of crime call ing for severe punishment. Unless the laws lof the various states are so amended -as to provide for jail and chaingang sentences without fines, the evil will never be con trolled. There seems to be some drivers who do not get any pleasure out of an au tomobile, unless they are operating it at a dangerous speed. Such conduct is noth ;ing short of the acts of a maniac and all such drivers should be treated with as criminals. g On the streets in Athens daily there are numerous violations of the speed ordi nances, cutting corners and otherwise dis regarding all traffic regulations, but no one seems to do anything about it. It & time for strict enforcement of traffic reg ulations and ordinances. If a foreigner becomes naturalized in the United States after his children have reached their majority, the children do not become citizens by virtue of their father’s naturalization; they must take out their OWn papers. The United States Potters’ Association was the first employers’ association of na tional importance in this country; it was organized in: 1876, | ... sosee THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA DID IT EVER OCCURTO YOU - - A Little of Everything, Not Mu't_:hif__Anything it is satisfying to his friends to read in pressdispatchesthat former Governor Alfred E. ~ Smith, of New York, has come ~ out boldly endorsing the na tional regovery plan. In an interview, Governor Smith, said: “The plan must not fail through lack of individual cooper ation, Support of the president’s plan is thg Only course for good citizens in a Democracy where there is sickness in the body poli tic. . “The president has frank? stated that this js an experiment and that he will be the first to acknowledge its failure if it does not work. He asked only for loyal co-operation in trying out a plan which gives reasonable promise of success, The cooperation he cer. tainly should receive.” Such remarks from Governor Smith will aid materially in putting over the national re covery plan of |President Roosevelt, For some time, the writings of Governor Smith in the Outlook have lead his friends to believe that he was antagonistic to the policies of President Roosevelt, but now that he has come out strongly In favor of she plan, his admiring friends will feel justified in the support they have given him in all of his political battles. Al Smith hog always been a loyal Democrat and his recent public endorsement of the reorganization plans of the Democratic party should be con vincing to the most skeptical. Playing to crowded hduses, in its second week in Atlanta, “Tugboat Annie” will be shown at the Polace theater here to day and tomorrow, - “Tugboat Annie”, with Marie ‘Dressler and Wallace Beery has proved a wonderful success. In fact, this picture is said to be the greotest success of all previous ef forts of these two outstanding stars., Manager Gidley is to be con gratulated on booking this unusu ally splendid picture for his pa trons. It can be depended that the best pictures produced can always be seen at the Palace. An amusing incident, relating to a government agent and an: Arkansos negro farmer over . the plowing up of a certain number of his acres of cotton is going the rounds of the Georgia press. The government agent explained to the old negro about the plan for plowing up his cotton and solicited him to sign the agreement, The old negro demurred and, said: “Nossuh, boss, I ain't signin’ nothin,’ Es Mr. Roosevelt wants me to plow up some of my cotton all he got to dois say how much, En after all he done done to git us out uv de trouble we in I ain’t gwine charge him nothin’ fer it neither”, And, before the agent realized it, the old negro started plowing up his share, Many of the farmers in this section have received their checks from the government for plowing up their cotton which has proved a consider able help to them in meeting obligations. It is estimated that 700,000 acres of cotton’ were plowed up which fwould amount +to approximotely 293,000 bales. Another good fea ture of the cotton plan is that of allowing the cotton growers the privilege of buying back from the government the amount of cotton destroyed at a price of six cents the pound. If cotton holds around {ten cents, the farmer will have a marginal profit of four cents the pound and the use of the money for that which was ploughed up during the interim. lln fact, the government js doing everything possible to aid and relieve the ag ricultural interests of this coun try.
