Ona Year. One Month... VOLUME 62. BROOKLYN THE BEAUTIFUL. N an uncommonly attractive little volume of short articles by well-known citizens, illustrated by many photographs, the Mu- nicipal Club of Brooklyn presents with entertaining variety and completeness the many-sided life end doings of “The Borough of Beauty and Promise.” Everybody has a soft spot for Brooklyn. The best proof is ~ that everybody makes fun of it. Who gets most pokes in the ribs? Isn’t it always the most popular man? Home to Brooklyn! Above ell other of the nearer districts of the Greater City is Brooklyn a place where the workers in the great caves and cliffs of downtown Manhattan go home—to homes. In Brooklyn a man may heve light and air‘end the bit of green grass and shade tree that make home something more then e num- bered hole on e numbered shelf. In Brooklyn « man may have neighbore—real, good, kind, in- terested, old-fesbioned neighbors. As one of the contributors to this booklet points out: “In Manhattan the man who lives next door is the man who lives next door; that’s all. In Brooklyn he is Harry Thompson. He hes « name, family, @ dog known es Towser and/ & ext called Tabby.” In Brooklyn there is room for beby carrtages—eleo for babies to ride in ’em. The funny man Mit upon about the finest, proudest device any city could choose for fts cecal and emblem when he fast- ened upon Brooklyn the baby carriage. In Brooktyn, as the babies grow up, their first fmpreesions of the greet world ere not limited to fire escapes and stone stoops. Brook- lyn prides itself on the number of its small neighborhood parks, breathing spaces and playgrounds. Brooklyn is growing fast. From 1,166,889 tn 1900 the popu- lation increased to 1,634,351 in 1910, an increase of 40 per cent. A otetistician has figured thet at the present rate of growth Brooklyn will have eight years from now, in 1990, a population of 2,500,000. And Brooklynites who are alive in 1950 will cco a city of 7,000,000! Brooklyn has greet plans for itself. The Municipal Olub has prepared this present volume mainly to help slong the Brooklyn Planning Movement which hopes to use the experience of Washing- ston, Ohicago and Peris in direoting and beautifying the growth of Brooklyn. Zs We are gled to hear Brooklyn epeek well of Mteclf and fts future. Weare gled to hear about its manufactures, its big weter front - @chemes and its transit hopes. Albove all, however, we are gied to eee it still proud to claim its highest honor gs “e city of homes and families.” May the beby carvtages never cease rolling! —_-+-—__——_ GLAD TIMES FOR THE OLD FOLKS. HANKS to a mummy and the Academy of Medicine, we have some great news for gay old boys. A doctor says it has been a mistake to counsel old people to give up tobacco, meat and wine on the ground thet the use of these things brings on “arterio sclerosis”—hardening of the arteries—the most typical . disease of old age. Thie doctor bas lately mede personally conducted post mortems om Egyptian mummies.
