Hotaling's Newsstand, Tim Bchultz's Newsstands, Entran GHed Contral, 4mnd Street ——— The world's most ungrateful task: Waiting on the sidewalk for 4 trolley car while the rain pours down. It may be worth wondering whpther anybody fa saving the papers for Lindbergh fo read when he gets back. One of the summer ads of the New Haven railroad has a lobster playing a 'cello. That ought to pro- vide music fit to eat. They are talking of nominating Senator Bingham as vice-president on the. G. O. P. ticket. Unless we know our jinior senator incorrectly, nothing but the nomination for president will satisfy. One thing about Lindbergh that has not been played up: When he crossed the ocean alone in the dead of night it was clear he was not afrald of spooks nor afraid to be abroad alone in the dark. | Levee-building along the Missis- sippl begins in July and ends in De- cember. The latter monlh is when Congress will meet, 50 that there would be no new levee building un- til the following scores of levees needing to be re- built, but of course they will have to walit for more than a year—un- less Congress goes into special ses- sion and substitutes action for de- lay. But that may be too much to expect. LINDBERGH AND MAMMON “Well he can cash in on it and be on easy street the remainder of his life.” How many times we bave heard the statement made since Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic is beyond reck- oning. The “average man,” it ap- pears, has been reading so much about what moving picture stars, prize fighters, baseball players and other public entertainers “make” in hard cash that part of the thrill of | contemplating such a marvelous ex- ploit as crossing the Atlantic alone in an airplane consists of wondering how much money the hero can shake down. The headlines have alrcady given an jnkling what to expect, A movie oifer “totalling $1,000,000” has been made to Lindbergh, the black type screeched. Mr, Average Man discovers with a shock that Lindbergh declined to talk business. And here's another: Mrs, Lind- bergh, mother of the famous flyer, was offered the role of “an Amer- | ican mother” in a moving plcture film, one guaranteed to net $100,- | 000 to the Detroit woman. Mr. Average Man learns with con- sternation that Mrs, Lindbergh thought herself no celebrity and pointedly turned down the ofter. It is clear as daylight that neither Lindbergh nor his mother are aver- age people. Faney Mr, Avera to talk business with $1,000,000 looking at him from the table; refusing to lend his name $100,000 of easy profit. It's hard for Mr, lelieve such things; it sounds near- ly as improbable as flying across the Atlantic in the first plac We have been fed up on the Red Grangs type of sportsmanship, the Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb salaries, dollar art of Charlie Chaplin, and what the other “make,” 80 that we | or to even Average Man to the celebrities cannot under- stand how a man can be anything hut crazy it he refuses to lend him- self to accepting $1,000,000 when handed to him on platter.

FINDING THE OWNERS Who owns the Interboroush Transit company in New York? That was one of the first questions | projected at the hearing before the {New York Transit commission. The | City wishes to readjust its transit facilities and would like to know with whom it {s dealing. The information that 90 per cent of Interborough stock is held by Wall street brokerage firms may mean little or much. That the stock is primarily a “market football” can searcely be denied. If it were not for the fact that the Inter- borough is the chiet transportation company in New York this would be j of no great moment to the public. A transportation concern, to be efficient and run In the public in- terest, cannot at the same time be a ! “market football.” Concerns in the past which degenerated into this capacity usually served the public secondarily. The directors of the Interborough owe only 164 shares of stock. This leads to the assumption they are dummies for the higher ups. These are being located in Wall street. The Tramsit commission, by mak- ing public its findings, is at least educating its public. As the Inter- borough loves secrecy and dislikes publicity the {inference is broad enough to cover almest anything the public prefers to believe. “THERE AINT NO CLASSICS” The press broadcasting depart- | ment of station WLW in Cincinnat! has been heard from with a “new dstick of measuring music.” With more than 700 radio stations on the air nightly, if not dally and nightly, it was to be expected that something like this would happen. MThe public's conception of a " says Fred Smith, the eru- e director of the Cincinnati sta- tion, “is a musical selection written by some one who ig first of all dead. Becondly, it must be above compre- hension and therefore unintel- ligible.” But 700 stations pounding the air are bound to bring a change, an upset, as it were. Consequently we hear that a great many erstwhile “classical” sclections have become popular and many popular sdvc-' tions have become “classical.” Popular music that is already re- garded as classical in radjo circles include the Maple Leat Rag, Gersh- win's “Rhapsody in Blue”—which has been churning through the air so often that it is turning gray— and the St. Louis Blues, “Music that is approved of as standard for whatever it represents —music that expresses a definite passion in the best possible way of the person who eypresses it, wheth- er that person a heartbroken Negro or a heartbroken Chopin, & happy workman or an exalted Beethoven,” is enitled to the honors of being classic, says the gentleman | in Cincinnati. We are inclined to think he is correct. A lot of these Russian tunes, Spanish tines, Hungarian tunes and what not which are “incorporated in the classics are no better, and represent no more, than the styls of tunes mentioned. All spring from the soil, possessing an individuality that reaches hearts. Let unblased analytical-minded gentlemen begin dissecting the relative merits of such things and they could not help con- cluding that an American Negro tune of individuality and originality has just as much hehind it, and in it, as a gipsx tune from Hungary or a boat song from the Volga. When he gets around to “classi- cal” music which has become popu- list tops Plke's Peak, Some are Paderewski's Minuet, the Bee- thoven Minuet, the Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana, the Ave Marla the Ave Maria by Rachmaninoff's Minor, and popular ela by Schubert, rh-Gounod, Prelude in C even | Sharp ! “which gets into the despite the handicap of a discour- aging title," It is ecasy di- | “elass- to h the that the de rector gnations ical” and “popular” are antiquated.

This Viking of the air is not pr‘umly bent upuul patronize the “legitimate” eor the | musie shows than go to the movies. It is the native New Yorkers who mainly till up the moving picture palaces. Since the Supreme Court held the constitutional the speculators -have been muleting the visitors to a fare thee well. They have easy picking, too, as the average visitor, bent on having a good time, doesn’t mind being mulcted to some extent. When his money is nearly gone he goes home. The natives are more particu- lar. One way of shcwing what they think of the speculators is to go to the movies, with which the ticket speculators are not concerned. The jacking up of New York theater prices through the co-opera- tion of the legitimate theater man- ogers and the ticket speculators is something that alds the moving picture industry enormously. Seven- teen ;moving picture attractions on | Broadway, with the legitimate crowded off into the side streets, can be explained in various ways: | but none is more potent than the difference in price between a first class pleture show—and the elab- orate fixings that go with it—and the regular shows. The film hou: operate their amusement at the lowest possible price; their rivals operate to give their amusement at the highest possible price. The re- sult cannot be otherwise than what MANHATTAN Sundry New Yorkers dislike to have the island of tall buildings referred to as Manhattan. The name New York appears much more significant, of greater potency to the out-of-towners. Yet Manhattan is a perfectly proper designation. Despite the fact that Brooklyn is counted in with the six million supposed to make up thq population of “New York,” folks there still prefer to say they live in Brooklyn. In all the years since the gobbling up process has taken place, Brook- Iyn has not lost. its identity. It re- mains a great city of distinction, as different from Manhattan as the differenck between a lamb and a tiger. No one in Brooklyn upon being referred to as a parteof New York. The same holds true for the citizens of Queens, Long Island | City, Staten Island, and the remain- der of the satellites around Man- hattan. It is merely for population pur- poses—i. e. advertising—that New York prides itselt upon having six million people. Manhattan, the real *New York, from a population stand- point would have trouble in com- peting with some other cities in the world which now are rated far be- low six million, insists | DECENTRALJZING INFLUE 2 Real estate men always something to worry about.
