CITY MANUFACTURES EVERY
THING FROM BUTTON
HOLES TO PIANOS.
The figures which represent New
York’s industrial supremacy are stag
gering. The manufactured products
turned out annually, government sta
tistics show, equal one-twelith the
value of all the goods manufactured in
the United States. New York’s pro
duction is almost half as much again
as Chicago’s, her nearest competitor,
and more than two and a half times
that of Philadelphia, which ranks
third. ? 3
The growth of industry in New
York has been steady through the
vears: never booming. The number
of manufacturing establishments here
has been increased by 10 per cent 1n
the last eight years, and the increase
in the number of persons engaged|
has been slightly targer. The gain in
the value of products has been enor-|
mous, largely because of the price
inflation which attended the war, says
the Neawv York World. ,‘
More than 4 million persons in this
city gain their livelihood from the ap
parel industry. Food products fol-!
low clothing in volume, with an an- |
nual production of more than 600 |
million dollars. Metal working comes |
next, with almost 1% billion dollars!
yearly production. Printing and pub
lishing add some 390 million dollars
to New York’s annual production, and!
tobacco and smokers’ supplies account
for 4 million more. So it goes down
the line, with huge totals in almost
every field. |
There are some products in which
New York has a practical monopoly.
The woman who makes her own |
clothes, for instance, whether she lives |
in Manhattan or in Seattle, would find
it almost impossible to buy a pat- |
tern made anywhere but in New York, |
for 95 per cent of the patterns pro-;
duced in the United States are made
here. When a man in New ()rlc:ms}
or Kokomo or Denver becomes en-|
3 . . %.g |
gaged to a girl the diamond with |
which he endows her almost cortain]y}
was cut and polished m New York. |
And this city turns out more men’s |
shirts than Troy, which is noted th('z
world over for the production of men’s
linen wear. l
But New York is more than the|
world’s greatest producing center. It}
also is its greatest market, and goods
totaling into the billions are sold m‘cr'
New York's counters every year. Just
how many billions these sales amount |
to cannot even be guessed with any
accuracy. The only accurate figures
obtainable are those of the sixty-four
largest department stores, which last
vear did a husiness of 250 milli(mt
dollars. t
New York is unparalleled in the
world in buying power, for the wealth |
of the world centers here. Then, too, |
the area commercially tributary to
New York adds its thousands to makc‘
up a population of more than 9 mil
lion within fifty miles of New York—l
almost a tenth of the population ofl
the country. |
The city contains almost as many
persons as live in the state of Ohio
and almost a million more than there
are in the whole state of Texas. The
borough of Brooklyn alone contains
more inhabitants than the city of
Philadelphia. Manhattan and Queens
exceed Chicago by 40,000. A circle
with the Battery as its center and
drawn on a 50-mile radius contains
twice as many persons as there are in
the whole continent of Australia, and
a million more than live in Canada.
Nor is thig all. The nine railroads
having their terminals here bring into
this city each day enough persons to
constitute a city as large as Provi
dence or Denver. There are some
300,000 commuters, the last national
census showed. Altogether 45945,-
278 persons were brought into the city
by railroad last year,
CURIOUS SEEDING OF GRASS.
Steppe grass, which grows in Russia,
has a curious way of sowing its seed.
It forms a coil of fiber which twists
on wet days, thus working its way
into the ground. When the weather is
dry the coil untwists, but remains fix
ed in position owing to a barb at the
end under the soil.
When brown stock is needed for
gravies or sauce, and none is handy,
dissolve a little meat extract in water
and use instead.

HOLDS THAT NOAH’S
GREAT PYRAMID IN EGYPT,
THINKS SCIENTIST. BASED
ON NEW DISCOVERIES.
.OS ANGELES, Cal—Noah’s ark,
built to save human and animal life
from the flood of ancient Biblical
times, is still extant for ail to see, 3,000
years after its construction.
This is the belief of Dr. E. C. Get
zinger, Egyptologist, now visiting here.
His conclusion is based, he declared,
on recent discoveries following 35
vears of research work, some of the
results of which he described in an ad
dress before the Friday Morning club,
of l.os Angeles.
Dr. Getzinger is convinced that the
ark of Noah was not a ship; that it
was the great pyramid of Cheops, in
Egypt. Recent discoveries prove that
the pyramids—“ Noah's ark” and the
others—were under the sea for thous
ands of years, Dr. Getzinger said. Near
the top of each of the pyramids, at the
same level, is a high water line where
a decep niche shas been cut into the
rock by the lashing of a long forgot
ten suri—the surf of the flood which
inundated the ancient Biblical world,
he declared. Dr. Getzinger said re
search showed the inner passages of
the pyramids to be thickly crusted
with salt, which chemical analysis
pm@c(l was sea salt.
It already is known, Dr. Getzinger
contended, that the flood of Noah’s
time did not submerge the whole of
the present known world, but included
only the ancient lost continent of At
lantis and Egypt. Atlantis has never
reappeared, he said, but Egypt, after
12,000 years under the sea, proved, Dr.
Getzinger declared, by the evidence of
sea salt encrustations to a height of
475 feet on the great pyramids and
the sphynx, arose as a beacon light
to mankind, when the flood subsided.
Egypt was resettled by immigrants
from other lands.

Used Fiancee's Cash
To Pay Wife Alimony
Young Eastern Woman Files Lar
ceny Charge Against Former Suitor.
BOSTON, Mass,—He told me I
was the only woman he ever loved.
He said I was the apple of his eye.
But his eye was on another woman
all the time. He said he wanted
money to start in business, so we
could have a home. 1 gave him $2,300
and he spent it paying alimony to his
wife.”
This was the sad plaint of pretty
Ida Goldberg, of Dorchester, in court
today charging Irving Solomon, of
New York, with larceny of her $2,300.
Solomon, she testified, paid ardent
court to her in 1921 after she met
him in a shop in Boston. She was
unaware that he had already been
married.
“We were engaged around Christ
mas time,” she said. “He told me he
wanted to start in business. So I
gladly gave him $l,OOO.
Later she' increased her gifts to
Solomon to $2,300, she asserted.
The girl was placed in her father’s
car, Grover Markley was placed in the
sheriff’'s car, and as it was about to
leave for Salina Alphonso Markley
made a dash for his brother, but the
sheriff prevented violence by speeding
up. .
The girl was apparently greatly af
fected by being separated from Grover
Markley and wanted to kiss him good
by§before he was taken to jail, but
the father refused the request. Grover
Markley was on his way tonight to
the Kansas state penitentiary.
American Arms Are Too
s
Fat, Says King Alfonso
Thinks Our Women Have Pluck to
Wear Bare-to-Shoulder Dresses.
“The arms of American women are
too #tout to afford the new bare-to-the
shoulder fashion for dresses,” declared
King Alfonso, of Spain, following the
race meeting at Deauville, France.
“British arms are too skinny, and
Spanish arms are too short. France
supplies the best.”
Several thousand pairs of bare arms
featured the race meeting, a feature
which inspired King Alfonso to make
the statement. The new style dresses
gave the impression of fashionable wo
men attired in extravagant bathing
suits.
“Sculptors declare it is virtually im
possible to find arms gracefully at
tached to the shoulder,” he said. “The
junction of the limb to the body usual
ly is too thin, too fat, or teo high.
Therefore it must be concluded that
women have great pluck to wear the
new style.”

!DUST CLOUD SPREADS OVER
l AND CAUSES RAIN BY IN
TERCEPTING SUN’S RAYS.
Study of Mount Katmai, recently in
eruption, has disclosed its value to
humanity.
Mankind’s debt to the volcano has
been more fully recognized by results
of recent rescarches. Contrary to the
popular belief that the volcano is an
'cncmy it is one of mankind’s best
friends. Without volcanoes it now is
' believed there would be no ocean; and
’to them we are indebted for carbon
dioxide, without which human life
would not be possible.
| One of the most tremendous vol
‘canic explosions in history, that of
'Mount Katmai, in Alaska, will be de
scribed and its effects shown in mo
tion pictures before the Conference of
Geography of the National Education
al Association, to be held in Boston.
Dr. Robert F. Griggs, leader of the
National Geographic Society’s expedi
tions to study Katmai and discoverer
of its neighbor natural wonder, the
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, will
tell of the findings of the expeditions.
Though unaware of the mighty up
heaval every inhabitant of the United
States felt its effects, one of which
was the cold, damp summer of 1912,
caused by the interception of so much
sunlight by the dust from the eruption
which quickly was carried around the
world. Even in cloudless Sahara the
sky was overcast, and it is believed
that a succession of such eruptions
could plunge the ecarth into another
ice age.
Was Immense Upheaval.
Katmai's terrific explosion was un
noticed because it was so remote. Had
the upheaval occurred in New York
city the sulphurous fumes would have
polluted the air everywhere east of the
Rocky Mountains; the noise would
have reverberated like an artillery duel
across the Central states; and the low
er Hudson itself would have been a
giant tomb with few ruins even to tell
the story.
Fortunately, Katmai’s eruption pro
vided geographies one of their great
est opportunities for studying volcanic
phenomena without any irightful toll
of human misery. Katmai village, 20
miles from the crater, was deserted
because all the natives had gone fish
ing, according to their summer cus
tom.
~ Kodiak, nearest settlement of con
sequence, and the most inmportant
town in an area larger than Ohdo, is
a sleepy village of 400 people, where
a mosque-like Russian churchgis a
relic of the one-time Russian-America.
An arca around Katmai, half again
bigger than Delaware, was covered
with a foot or more of ash, which was
enough to destroy all but the hardiest
herbaceous plants. Before the explo
sion a suffocating blanket of incandes
cent sand burst through orifices in the
floor of the valley. When the explo
sion occurred two cubic miles of ma
terial was blown off the top of the
volcanic mountain and its present
}whercahouts. as the police bulletins
would say, still is a mystery to scien
tists.
Steam Ascends in Clouds.
The aftermath of this eruption prom
ises to be one of our most precious
national heritages. Beyvond Katmai lies
a great valley from whose floor con
stantly ascends millions of columns of
steam. These great rolling clouds of
vapor which go billowing down the
valley, somectimes trailing out before
the wind a mile or more, exert an
uncanny fascination.
The fumaroles, or vents, through
which the steam escapes, disclose en
crusations of greatest beauty, variety
and color. There are masses of bright
vellow sulphur, chunks of ash turned
red and blue, and pure white masses
of silicious material.
You can cook your dinner over these
jets of hissing steam, though you have
to hold the frying pan down against
the uprushing steam. There is a nat
ural bathing pool, one end cold and
another hot. Not far away is a lake
with trout of 30 inches or more that
bite at almost anything; and there also
is Brooks Falls, with its leaping sal
mon, which may be speared when a
trout diet palls.
Will Be National Park.
Some day this region will be a na
tional park—second in area only to
Yellowstone. Many lesser phenomena
mark the vicinity. There is fallinjg
mountain, for example, which needs
not a motion-picture camera, but a
phonograph or a radio to record its
thunderous subsidence. Magnificent
| forests will provide a game preserve.
IN()\'HI‘H])(H, a nearby volcano, now

steam.
So remote are these phenomena that
