Forty years ago “Red” Coolidge was a student at Am- Herst College. A chubby-faced boy was making good in Ore- gon. That was Herbert Hoover. ! Heére is the American scene in those interesting times re-cre- ated from the transient record- ings of daily happenings in a scries of . stories. By ALEXANDER GEORGE The contrasting drama of fron- tier, life and of metropolises in the making marked the American scene of 40 years ago. Whilé New York was launching a tion of a “towering structure” of for homesteads with six-shooters and hatchets in the mad rush of '8) to the promised land of Okla- -homa. The plans of the southwest were dotted with white-capped wagons /drawn by horse, mule and oxen, ,ftr_.lns were packed and the “woods lalive with settlers armed to the teeth,” en route to the newly open- ted territory. At night a thousand campfires glimmered along the old rnemr stage trail. In the wilderness at Guthrie where the day before “antelope had sported and the jack rabbit flapped ‘|its ears to the sun,” a city of 15,000 sprang up in an affernoon. As the trains pulled in, home- isteaders leaped from car windows, |'slipped from the roofs of coaches ‘|and poured out of the doors in the dash for coveted town lots. A n that the Bank of Guthrie was doing busi- -[ness and another shack displayed ithe sign “Shaving and Ice Cream.” ! Chicago was running a close race New York's “big for the position of third city in the union. Brooklyn's pop- ulation was announced as 815,000, The Chicago boosters countered \with a claim of 830,000, whéreupon the easterners accused the west- lerners of jumping calculations.

The spring fashion parade New York was thus described: “The crowd on the road was a poem of pretty faces, dainty gar- ments, glittering new silk hats, prancing horses and the latest ideas in harnesses and vehicles. “Everybody seemed transcend- entally happy from the young wom- en who snuggled up against the'r escorts’ shouiders and gloried in the expanse of black coat sleeve that hid from view a section of brand new bodice, to the young men who sat bolt upright in nat- ty traps and could not be tempted to look either to right or left.” e in Bill Casey 1s still at No. 8 Wil- loughby Ave. with the best TO- I;ACCO and SNUFF CURE.
