New Tort.--Old Peter Mlnnit's realestate investment, inspired by Dutfch thrift, has provided a neat sum for the proverbial rainy day were Peter here to profit, says Tom Pettey in the •Chicago Tribune. The land which Peter purchased for '90 guilders ($24 In later currency) Is now assessed for tax purposes at $18,- 408,683^07. Personal property and «ther valuations of the holdings of those on the purchase bring the grand total to $24,009,729,247. \ Old Peter long has gohe to that boorne where gold does not matter. Ooce, too, are the sellers of that choice bit of realty. Rum Helped Soal Bargain, For Peter brought with his guilders --and liberal noggins of Dutch rum and Holland gin--the Island of Manhattan, the heart-center of New York. That was bach in 1626! Now and then an Indian bobs op to lay legal claim that he is descendant of those noble red men who sold their heritage under the Influence of the bargain sealing schnapps, but they can't make It stick in court The realty holdings In Manhattan Island increased $709,568,390 in assessed valuation daring the year, but this Increase Is nearly a half a billion below the Increase of the previous year. Officials of the department of taxes and assessments comparing this year's increase with last year's Increase of $1,253,702,357 said they had been compelled "to be conservative in making up the rolls on account of the general business depression and particularly the real estate slump." Wall Street Gets Blame. The descendants of the colonists of New Netherland--together with those who joined them later--suffered some severe setbacks during the year for which Wall Street--that narrow lane which once wound through Dutch pastures--must bear the blame. Personal property assessments fell from $1,245,839,475 to $807,161,935. That makes for groans when it Is estimated that the tax rate will be raised from 2.55 cents on the dollar to 2.71 cents.

WHEN Jean Barry returned home after collecting a number of rejected etories from editorial offices she had so settled it In her own mind to give up story writing that she didn't really mind the fact that she had left the bundle of "dud" manuscripts somewhere. "I don't know and I don't care," she told herself defiantly and swished a sudden tear from her e.ves. She wondered vaguely If she had left them in the subway and whether the person who found them would return them. John Winter, who found the packet on the subway when he went home from the office, glanced through them tor an address, found the name, Dudley De Voe, and a street and number in the West Sixties, and wondered what to do with them. "Ill just take them along to old Binks • he'll know what's best and may give him a plot as well." Old Binks happened to be St John Binks, a writer of no small fame and Winter's beet pal. "Picked up some pOor chap's ravings coming home tonight," he told Binks, and handed over the packet. "Thought you might like to give them the casual before sending them back.** "Look's as if be had shopped them _all over the place," was Binks' interested comment. Consequently, a da$ or two later, Jean Barry received a letter that first enraged, then amused, then interested her. It began, "Dear De Voe," and Jean laughed as she habitually did when addressed as a man. "Your stories have come into my hands. I am going to rewrite and sell them for you. Tou must be very young and inexperienced in women's wiles. Your women characters are feeble--women aren't like that nowadays. Your plots and manner are splendid but characterization awful. I don't want to meet you yet as it would perhaps weaken my conception of these characters or yon- might try to talk me into something I could not see. These stories are quite unsalable as they are, and I see they have been rejected, so feel confident you won't mind my collaboration. Will post on half the check to you as each story is published. Yougs, XXX." "Well, of all thingsl Nerve! Conceit! I dont know anything about women, don't I? Oh, well, I should worry anyway. There may be nothing in this letter but the ravings of a slightly demented old thing or--better still--I might get some checks." Then one sunny, morning Jean opened a letter in which was a check so big as to make her gasp and clutch her hair and cry and then sing. After all that she glanced through the short note. ' "Watch Post week of ninth." Jean scarcely ate or slept until that Friday morning dawned when the could get the Post. There It was with her own title, "Triflers," by Dudley De "Voe and St. John Blnkf. "St. John Binks--seems to me I know that name," muttered Jean as she rushed home to read the story. There was no slightest doubt of it being an extraordinarily good yarn now that it was masterfully written. Jean's next act was to write a short note to Binks, care of Post "Have reserved third table on left at Oolywog, Thursday evening. Please don't disappoint Will have magaaine lying on table. De Voe." When Binks stood in the low doorway of the Oolywog to survey the human contents of that quaint dining place of upper Bohemia he fell to a sodden wish that some one sitting across the room could be his dinner partner. She was very, very alluring. Then, Binks turned hot, then cold, was possessed of a wild desire to escape and a still wilder one to be dragged to his fate. Suddenly she smiled. St. John Binks knew that in some purely feminine way she had recognized him as her collaborator. He went swiftly over and before sitting down opposite her had felt the warming glow in her finger clasp. Tou have been perfectly wonderful to me," she was saying, and little sparkles of electricity seemed to be snapping all abont her. "If there Is that much-talked-of place called a Seventh Heaven you have certainly put me there. I do want to thank you." St. John Binks finally found his voice and to very good advantage. "You are thanking me--there was only one thought that entered my brain when I stepped through that door and it was that I might be sitting right here--and here I am. Isn't life great -sometimes?" He was gazing unbelievingly right Into Jean's Intelligent eyes. "Sometimes," responded Jean, alias Dudley De Voe. And there was some thing about the manner In whi^h she cast down her eyes that augured well for the future happiness of Binks. 1930 Berlin Statue of i Woman Arouses ' Berlin.--The statue of woman, recently unveiled by PrtBld. von Hlndenberg' In Mayenee as the symbol of the liberated Rhiueland after 12 years of foreign occupation, has aroused the ire and indignation of this city's clergy.
