C.J HILE New York Is a great city in many ways, conspicuous above every other phase of its greatness is its role as in international trade center. In recent years New York has been handling approximately one-third of the exports of the United States, measured in value, and about one-half of the imports. For such operations as these, New York, perforce, must be a great metropolis. In population it outranks any one of half the nations of the earth, surpasses that of the entire continent of Australia, and almost matches the combined strength of the ' six westernmost states of the American Union. In annual expenditures it exceeds most of the nations on the map. Its water system could supply the whole earth with drinking water, and its storage reservoirs hold enough to slake civilization's thirst for more than a year. Its electric transportation lines carry nearly twice as many passengers in 12 months as all the steam railroads of the United States. They could give every man, woman and child living a ride every ten months--so much for the yardstick of comparison. New York Is of all cities the one where the majesty of small things is regarded as well as the greatness of large ones. Who counts a nickel? Yet the greatest transportation system of the ages was built by nickels prospective, and lives on nickels realized. Who reckons a dime, which even the waiter In a quick-lunch room scarcely deems worth a "Thank you?" Yet the world's loftiest building. Its crowning cathedral of commerce, was built out of the •mall margin of profit in ten-cent transactions. Who considers the dust in the street? New York has built up sixty-five acres of ground, valued at several million dollars, out of street sweepings. Who feels the dust and dirt that adhere to his shoes? However, more than seven tons of the 1 housewife's enemy is carried by tramping feet Into the subways every 24 hours. f One scarcely knows Which to wonder at most--New York, the cosmopolis of civilization, or New Yoijt, the metropolis of the Western world. It has more Irish and their sons and daughters than Dublin, more Italians and their children than fias Rome and as many Germans and their children as Leipzig and Franfort-on-Main together. Vast Foreign Population. Any story of New York begins with Its people, and in its vast aggregation of humanity there -is a wealth of interest. Let those who have been pessimistic about our immigration'study New York. It seems unbelievable; font if every resident whose parents were born In America were to leave the city Its standing as the most populous center in the world would not be affected. In other words, the number , of Immigrants and their children resident in New York is almost equal to the combined populations of Paris and Philadelphia and greater than the combined populations of Chicago and Berlin. Three people out of every four in the great metropolis were born under alien flags or are the children of the foreign-born. But who that has studied the situation can gainsay New York's Americanism? The story of how the one-fourth of the city's population that is of native ancestry has Americanized the three- 1 • fourths that is foreign in birth or parentage is revealed in the schools. Along with many other cities, New York long since learned that a vast majority of the children who attend public schools do not go to college afterward. From this realization came the vocational schools. A day spent In visiting New York's prevocational and vocational schools gives one much heart and hope. Go to the lower East side, where the tenement flourishes in all its fabled glory, and visit a prevecational school.

There is a constant effort to grade the boys and girls, so that each child finds full scope for his capabilities. When one reflects that more than two-thirds of the children of school age In New York are of Immigrant parentage, a situation is disclosed that might be termed startling, especially when it is remembered that the school army of Greater Gotham is so large that If it marched ten abreast in close formation the front rank would be, boarding a North river ferryboat when the rear guard ^as crossing the Schuylkill out of Philadelphia. Next to the education of its children for their life work and the maintenance of order, a community's most Important task is to care for the public health. And here again the big city shines. If there ever was a city on the face .of the globe which to superficial Judgment would seem a paradise for all the gertns in the catalogue that city is New York. One of Healthiest Cities. But in spite of these conditions, New York is one of the healthiest cities in America. Nowhere else is there to be found a more splendid tribute to the success of preventive medicine in combating "catching" diseases than in the metropolis. There are enough babies . born In New York city every year to populate four cities like Charlotte, N. C.; Oshkosh, Wis.; Roanoke, Va.; Hamilton, Ohio, or Springfield, Mo. As many people In New York die annually as live in four cities like Elkhart, Ind.; Leavenworth, Kan.; Beverly, Mass., or Raleigh, N. C. So many births mean an unrelenting fight and eternal vigilance to keep down Infant mortality. In every phase of Its development New York city is like an adolescent boy who is always outgrowing his clothes; the city fathers are kept on tenter hooks to meet Its expansion. Its schools^ are always overcrowded because, rich as it is, the municipality cannot buy sites and build schools fast enough to keep up with the evergrowing child army. Its transportation lines are always choked with passengers because one subway cannot be completed before another is needed. Its bridges and tunnels are always pressed to capacity because the interval between the realization of a new need and the opening of facilities to, meet it is long enough in I^ew York's rate of expansion for a succeeding need to be born. But at last the.city has found one place where engineering construction is able to outstrip human expansion and prepare for decades ahead. It has built a water system that will take care <!*f half a century of growth and form a unit in the bigger system that may lie beyond that period. Water Supply Now Adequate. For generations Gotham has had a hand-to-mouth water supply, as is the case with other municipal requirements. The gaunt specter of water famine, with all of its attendant train of gnomes--disease, uncleanness, crippled industries, beggared homes--ever lurked in the shadows of the Immediate future. The slogan became "New York must have an adequate water supply." One hy one supporters were won to the idea--now the Manufacturers' association, now the Merchants' association, now the mayor, now the governor of the state, now the legislature itself. All difficulties were overridden, and today there flows down to New York from the Catskllls an underground river deep enough and wide enough to carry drinking water for the whole world. In size, in length, In the volume of water it will carry, as well as in the cost of construction and the engineering problems Involved, it makes every other aqueduct of ancient and modern times look like a pigmy project. If Is were diverted Into Fifth avenue, It would be a stream waist deep flowing at the rate of four miles an hour.

Perhaps you have been puzzled because a fragrance which smelled agreeable at the time you bought it becomes commonplace or even unpleasant after you have used it a ffew weeks, says the Kansas City Star. "Always keep perfume in a dark place," advises Lucien Lelong, -the Parle dressmaker whose study of perfume has resulted in valuable suggestions for its use. "Daylight will affect every odor differently according to Its formula and in extreme cases the perfume turns bright red as soon as it has been exposed to the sun." Jasmine becomes black In the light, other flower extracts darken less noticeably, bat as soon as they change color, even slightly, the perfume changes scent According to M. Lelong, certain chemicals suffer similarly as a result of exposure to light If a product such as indol has been used In the perfume it will form ether and emit a foul odor eoon after it has been allowed to stand In the sun. So carefully must the elements which compose a perfume be guarded that many of the more fragile extracts are bought in a discolored state by the perfumer td prevent darkening after they have been mixed. Discolored floral elements cost a great deal more than flowers In a natural state, and they are reserved for expensive perfumes. s ' The need Is evident for keeping perfume fiacons tightly stoppered. Air, sunlight, will harm the scent and carelessness In keeping the odor airtight results in a noticeable loss of strength and quality. Why Rainfall Is Heavy After Lightning Flash That It often rains harder after a vivid flash of lightning and heavy peal of thunder is a fact well known to meteorologists, says the Pathfinder Magazine. Strictly speaking, however, the "rain gush," as weather experts call it, is caused by neither the lightning nor the thunder. According to the United States weather bureau, the phenomenon is explained as follows : A cloud is electrified when raindrops are produced by a rapidly rising mass of warm, humid air. The greater the quantity of suspended raindrops, the greater, in general, will be the quantity of electricity. Therefore, when there is a large amount of rain already formed in a cloud there is often a correspondingly heavy discharge of lightning followed by thunder. The light from the discharge, the thunder and the raindrops all start down at the same time. But the light, being much faster, is seen before the thunder is heard; and the drops, being slower even than the thunder, follow Immediately. Thus the action of the rising air on the raindrops causes the lightning, and the lightning causes the thunder. Thre's a heap of folks that miss the best in life by taking themselves too seriously.

In the former case the bulb appears to shrink, thus forcing the quick-silver too far up the stem. This gradual shrinkage is supposed to be due to the fact that external pressure on the bulb may be considerably higher than the Internal pressure, the air as far as possible having been removed before the glass is sealed. On the other hand, the spirit thermometer is sealed with the bulb covered In a freezing mixture, in order to lock up in the glass as much air as possible. The instrument thus starts with the Internal pressure which In time appears to be reduced either.by expansion of the glass under the Internal pressure or by leakage.

They do not wear down evenly in the center of the tread but rather at two points near the shoulder. They .are subject to "cupping" and uneven wear. And this is because Balloon Tires not only have a forward wearing motion but a side-wise "scuffing" wear as well. In Goodyear's All-Weather Balloon ALL these faults have been overcome. Its new design reduces side-wise rrscuffing" to a negligible minimum. Then two sturdy service ribs fortify this tire at points of greatest wear.
