OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY N R S P S S D i i VS THE AUTOMOBILE SHOW Now comes the Twin City Automotive Show. They used to call it just a plain automobile show, but now there are so many allied interests that the automoblie no longer can claim all the credit, so they call it automotive show. The prediction is made that this year's show will be more popular than ever, and judging from the success of the New York, Cleveland and Chicago shows, this prediction will come true. The Twin City show management appears to be outdoing it- self to make this year's exposition a record-breaker. The railroads have granted a low round-trip fare and there is little doubt, but that hundreds of vis- jtors from all over the northwest will be attracted to the 1922 show. There is a certain psychology about this year’s ex- hibit which should prove of value. When the throngs arrive and see the varied displays of the sutomotive industry, they most certainly will be impressed with the fact that the wheels of industry are still humming merrily. The effect will be that the visitors will go back to their homes with the notion that it is up to them to make a few wheels hum on their own account. It ought to stimulate business so that by the time the flowers bloom again, a lot of the pessimistic stuff thit is now being peddled will have been for- gotten. : NIX ON THE HOOPS s l}ack in the sixties the women, God bless 'em, wore hoop skirts.

Firemen's ball. Lucy Jm Price New York, Feb. 4.—Four hundred and fifty Spanish immigrants got started for home earlier than they had expected, just because an Eng- lish girl had never seen Broadway— and wanted to. Miss Isabelle Muir is the daughter of an English ship- builder, who is now building cruisers for the Spanish navy. Miss Muir was one of the passengers who boarded the liner Alfonso X1I, at Corunna, Spaixy, due to touch at Havana and Vera Cruz and then return to Span- jsh shores. But part way across, Miss Muir decided that she wanted to sce Broadway, and asked the captain if The better the show, the better the results. Go There was a hot time in the old town last night. NewYor {ter he couldn’t oblige her. So the cap- tain communicated with the New York office and they agreed that the Alfonso XII was a perfectly feasible ship on which to send home these 450 Spaniards who had fled to this coun- try during the war. So everything was arrangsd. The ship came into New York harbor for the first time in three years; Miss Muir saw Broadway and the immigrants started home, New Yornk City may abandon the trolley car. It has become only » short ride vehicle anyway, due to the cubways and elevated roads, and the city is now working to get buss- es instead of trolleys for those rdies. Twenty-five million dollars have been asked for the establishment of a mu- nicipal motor bus system, which would mean, according to the esti- mates, 201 bus routes, with 3,000 husses to replace the same number of trolley cars. wig The long discussed " question of where the population center of New: York is located has at last been.an- swered. Brooklyn and the Bronx have grown so rapidly in the past two years that each one was insisting that the center of destiny of habitation had been pulled in' its'direction. How- ever, investigation has .mow been made and proves that the center of New York’s six millions is in the block bounded by Broadway, Seventh avenue, Fifty-fifth and Fifty-sixth streets. The discovery certainly brought joy and pride to the man- agement of the Hotel Commonwelath enterprise, which has been insisting all along that the hotel would be “the heart of New York” and now has its p.oetlca] boast verified by cold statis- tics. This is the hotel being built as a co-operative. endeavor by 75,000 persons, which will opén its doors in June, 1923, can make it. Clan Call?” Or We are going to be an art center so far as personalities are concerned for a few days, at least. ‘And all due to a lawsuit. Captain and Mrs. H. J. Hahn have declared that what they bought for a real Da Vinci master- picce is an imitation, and they want their $500,000 back. - And a fair pro- | portion of all the art experts in Kur- ope have come over here to swear | to the picture’s authenticity. The | Hahns say they are prepared to spent $1,000,000 to prove that Joseph Duveen, art dealer who insists that the painting is a Da Vinci is wrong, and that the Italian master would scorn the work. A whole corps of autharities, headed by Mousieur Sor- tais, official critic for the French gov- ernment, have landed in our midst to uphold the dealer. Manhattan society is astir over the arrival of two Chicago leaders who, so the whispers' go, intend to become leaders ia Gotham, instead; It's quite 21l right, of course, for Chicago wo- men to make their way among New “ork’s Social Register, and we are often vurra, vurra sweet to them.

The _mbitious ones in question are Mra. ionore Palmer and Mrs. Marshall Field, wife of the “richest young man in the world.” Both have seemingly wearied of the Chicago social whirl and decided to seek out what inter- ests New York could give them. It will give them a ‘contest'if'nothing more—if their dreams of leadership are reported accurately.” "7, . 3 At ” 4 ,{’ ¥ .

More Christmas cards, probably, were posted by Dr, Theodore Maxwell of Woolwich, than by any one indi- vidual, says London Answert, He had been engaged for a long time in medical missionary work in India, and for some years before his death, which took place in 1914, he; made a hobby of printing these cards i in various languages, and sending them all over the wotld to people who he thought would appreciate them. Altogether he sent out, during the! Iast ten years of his life, some 80,000 cards, iuscribed with seasonable greetings in more than 30 different languages and dialects, and mostly printed by his owq‘-ynd. For several years past a charitable lady residing:in New York has posted 5,000 Christmag..cards. to as any 1oor” ghildren ; -andthere Is a philan- tliropié society, whose headquarters are In South London, which annually. digpatches ‘between 30,000 and 40.000 Chiistinas cards to prisoners ullover the world.
