poor working model! She must wear
furs in August and crops. dc chino in

So in the West Thirties where molt
of tho cloak and suit houses are now
lacated you see last winter's coty-
phees going to work. Modeling gar-
ments is a lucrative between seasons
occupation for many of the ladies of
the. ensemble. But it is not nearly
so alluring. or so comfortable.
Imagine yourself stepping to to

ensemble suits and sweaters for six
hours a day. The very thought of
it is likely to bring on heat prostra-
ilon.
imagine yourself stepping in to
graduate of the chorus. She enjoys
employment the year around if she
is proficient. proficiency in this case
meaning the possession of a comely
figure and the ability to strut well
before the buyers.
And after all. the work of a model
is not so vastly different from that
of s. chorine. Since the out-of-town
buyers are recognised as the main
patrons of front rows the model and
the chorus girl practicaiy play to
the same. audiences.

'l'hc penny arcade seems to be ra-
pidly regaining its widespread popu-
larity of former years. For some
years a. penny palace on Fourteenth
street was the only one in Manhat-
tan. but now there are places on
Forty-second street, Sixth avenue
and at various other points through-
out the city. And quite a few in
Brooklyn.
The phonograph and the radio de.
moralized the musical contrivances
and the advent of the motion picture
doomed the penny peep show. But
movies have passed the day of the
nickelodeon and their high prices
have sent some patrons book to the
penny slot machines for visual en-
tertslnment.
The mainstay of the penny arcade
business is no its sporting features.
The shooting lleries were given a
new impetus by the war and mm
nests in that direction still holds
good.
The most widely patronized device
in the mantra“ is the punching
bag. at which one may take a
healthy wailop for one cent and sat-
isfy his battling complex.
Next to the punching bag in pop-
ularity is the mechanical fortune
teller. which elects a card from a
slot which tells the recipient that
fortune is ahead if he or she will
strive hard and be patient. These
mechanical oracles also pick out fu-
ture mates and live advise to the
lovelorn and foretell the fates of in.
portunlng molds and mums.

the situation a little.
Three-story. and then four-story

But even iii-story streets will not
be enough. if we persist in erecting
iii-story buildings.
Even American "individual rights"
can not buck the lens of mathe-
matics.
It may be the "right" of every
landowner to build as high as he
finds individually prodiabie, and of
each of his tenants to drive his indi-
vidual automobile to work, and park
it. in front of his office.
But the multiplication table cam
nothing for “rights." It is interested
only in possibilities and necessities.
A certain number of square feet
of space will go around to certain
number of people and machines. and
no more. When that point is
reached. individual "rights" give
way to public necessity.
There are considerations more im.

The original idea was to make the

Unfortunately the codc's compilers
put too much into it. in an effort to
make it cover everything. They also
followed the congressional method.
in including numerous regulations
which either mean nothing at all orl

The Last Frontier

The scientist for many years has

And now he seems to be engaged

Seemingly not content with chum
istry. geology. biology. physics and
astronomy. he is compounding such
names as bio~chemietry. letro‘phy.
sics. geophysics, geochemistry and
others.
There is good reason for this.
however. It means that the arbi-
trary divisions of knowledge of the
universe into nailed branches of

down.
