By Roger Batchelder. * “Vladivostok is a city of misery,” Geclared Ercola Caminada, a Swiss mechanical engineer, who has just ar ¥ived at the Pennsylvania after a frip through the Far East. “The city ts crowded with people who have al- most no clothes and who suffer from All the diseases due to malnutrition ‘They have with a sense of relief. “It is impossible to take care of the fefugces, for thousands of them are pouring into the city to escape the Bolshevik, Even in Vladivostok one ts not safe.

CONSUL GENERAL eut General in spending the last days of a vacation in New York, has had an interesting and a varied career. Before entering the diplomatic service he was tele- graph operator, reporter, editor and private secretary. In 1906 he was ap- pointed Consul General of churia, and since that time has been stationed in Corea, Japan, China and Australia, With Mrs. Sammons he has Why are they always in a hurry when there is no particular reason for haste?” inquires a guest at the Majestic wha comes from Rich- mond, Va. “Last night I accom- panied @ friend of mine home from his office downtown, We rushed for the elevated, and my friend all but lost his temper when the guard closed the gates of his car just as we reached the plat- form, although a following train, less crowded, was waiting to get into the station. Then all the way uptown he grumbled at the train's slow progress, though the speed with which we travelled parallel to the housetops was plenty fast enough for me. He couldn't have worried more about it if some one had phoned him his house was on fire or that his home brew had blown up. And what happened when we reached his station? We went into a cigar store and lofted around half an hour discussing the chances of the Giants and the Yankees!” ee SAMMONS HERE.

It has provided work for thousands of ncely service men and when completed will divert much heavy traific from the city. “Congestion is a much greater problem in London than in New York. ‘There are 5,000 passenger buses in operation in addition to 2,000 sight-seeing buses, and the greater number of heavy vehicles make quite a problem.” In conclusion Mr. Dryland aociared that Fifth Avenue was the best paved street in the world, SKYSCRAPER BUILDING A MIRACLE. “One of the most intereSting things in New York to me," observes R. 8. Swift, a contractor of St. Louis, who is at the Majestic, “is the remarkable manner in which your towering buiN- ings are erected without interruption of vehicular or pedestrian traffic. The mystery of how the ancient Egyptians accomplished the construction of the Pyramids has ever baffled the archae- ologists, while every day under their very eyes the miracle of the modern skyscraper is being performed. That the infinite amount and variety of material required for such buildings can be assembled at one point in this congested city and there in a few weeks become a towering edifice 1s an accomplishment. that future genera- tions must look back upon with won- der and respect oe WE SHOULD BE HAPPY.

McCulloch con- ceived the idea of the Morris and Essex Canal while fishing at Lake Hopatcong, he put engineering gen- ius'to a new and tremendous test. To make boats ascend some 900 feet bver the formidable New Jersey hills called for the substitution of inclined R planes for locks, and the carrying of barges and their car- goes on land-cradles for hundreds of feet. Yet it was done and from 1830 to 1870 this grand old waterway was one , of the country’s important arteries of commerce. Through the same territory and often paralleling it runs the highway of steel which is its modern successor, The builders of the Lackawanna Railroad were con- fronted in New Jersey by the same stubborn hills which sought to oppose the canal. Only the railroad men were not content merely to surmount these hills but, by suc- cessive and continuous improvements, they have sought to “iron out” and straighten their line. By the Pequest Fill, a miniature mountain range three miles long and one hundred feet high, by the Paulin’s Kill Concrete Viaduct, 1100 feet long and 120 feet high, by the 1450 foot Delaware River Bridge, they have sought recently at tremendous expense to make the Lackawanna’s path through this territory just as straight #hd true, just as time and mile-saving, as engineering genius can make it.
