LIGHTS \ nt*HBUU ot NEW YORK Many of the artists who now occupy fashionable apartments, penthouses and big ateliers used to live in the old Van Dyck studios on Eighth ave nue. They were happy, young and poor. Everybody knew and helped everybody else. If anyone sold a pic ture or illustration, it was an event celebrated by all. One day a painter who now Is well known, but then was just beginning, got an invitation to a fashionable wedding. Though he thought there was a fair chance that the invitation was a mistake, he was more than anxious to go. He always had heard that at these big house wed dings the food was excellent. The trouble was that he didn’t have the proper clothes. He did have a shirt, which would do for a founda tion, and he also had a collar, a neck tie and a pair of gloves. The Van Dyck turned itself upside down to out fit him. One friend contributed a pair of striped trousers, another a - morning coat, still another shoes and silk socks. Nobody owned a silk hat, but one of {he artist’s friends knew a man who had one, and borrowed it. The hat. was- a littl^ large for the wedding guest, so. they stuffed a little paper under the sweatband. The day came and, with the help of all, the Invited artist was shiningly arrayed. He wished to walk the mile across town to the wedding but that idea was vetoed. By a unanimous vote of the Van Dyck it was decided that lie should take a taxi. He really was not going ns an individual but as a representative of a district. With a due sense of his responsibility, he entered the cab and stuck his head out to wave a dignified farewell to all the friends who were leaning from win dows. Tlie taxi started with a jerk. The silk hat, never too secure, toppled to the ^street, bounced under the rear wheel of the <-ar, and became just a memory. That is one of the tragic stories of the old Van Dyck. • • • Those were the days when a certain well-known illustrator was so poor that, while lie had a cake of soap and a tin basin, his only towel was a piece of an old curtain. This aroused the finer feelings of a faithful model. Each day she used to bring him a present of one or two nicejinen tow els. Finally lie had more than a doz en, and they were all marked. They bore the n?:mes of most of the large New York hotels. MORE ALIENS LEAVE THAN ARRIVE IN U. S. Change in Immigration Tide Laid to Depression. \ New York ceased to Entertain With Barbecue Dinner.

'good people were surrounded by thjr children, grand-children and a few friends and other relatives. % The occasion was that of the home- coming of children and grand-chil dren from far and near. We found here Mr. and Mrs. Joe ''Owens and Children, whose names -the \Vriter fail ed to get, for they were a “Legion” all of whome were' from Midville, Ga.; Mi. and Mrs. Walter Sprawls and children, of Willi'tcn; the skeptic ey? could see the vacancy in the minds of this father and mother caused by j the bar which impeded the coming of | Mr. nind Mrp. Thomas Weeks and children of Jacksonville, Fla. Others in attenda/ice upon this en joyable occasion were: Mr. and Mrs. J. Herbert Black,' of Barnwell, Mrs, Black being a stepdaughter; Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Weathersbee of the same neighboihcod. Others from out of the neighborhood were: John K. Snelling/Mriand Mrs. Clyde Vickery, Mr. and Mrs. Jame^ Diamond and daughter, Mis,« Ruth Diamond, Mrs. Lloyd Vickery, Mrs. Birt Vickery, Miss Belle Bennett and Dwight Black, of Barnwell. * The surrounding neighborhood all being connected, was well represent ed; the time wa s spent in discussing various topics of the day and the family relationship; at this juncture dinner was announced after a rever ence “Thanks” being offered by Mr. R. A. Weathersbee, brother of the host; a table more than fifty feet in length ladened with barbecue, rice- hash and every deset ibable article of food that could ,J)e mentioned which is pleasing to eye and taste. When all had eaten and were filled enough was left to have fed as many more. The day was happily spent. In leaving this home, the people would gaze back upon it as did Lot’s wife when she was leaving • Sodom and Gomorrah; this day will linger long A New York family lias a young dog of which it is very fond. He is n good puppy, except for the fact that he will on occasion chew things lie is not sup posed to masticate. Hi? worst ex hibition in this line happened at the family’s country place on Long Island at a time when several guests were staying over the week-end. It was warm and some of the guests left their doors ajar. In the morning the dog was discovered by a member of the family chewing on something, but ap parently making little headway. Ex amination disclosed that it was an up per plate containing the “store teeth” of a rather sensitive guest, wh<T wished it believed that his ivory smile was all ins own. There was nothing to be done. Those teeth were beyond wear ing. The family con 1<1 only wait in horror for their guest to wake to toothless tragedy. • * • William C. Ler.gel. the editor, tells me that the first book lie ever read of Theodore Dreiser's was “Sister Carrie.” He thought he should' read it because lie was working under Dreiser- at the time, so he l^puglit a copy for 40 cenfS. He’'started it ‘STT- ting on a' bench in Central park. He read until it was too dark to see. He Wouldn’t finish it that evening because of engagements he couldn’t break, but the next' piorning lie went down to the lieu oh, where lie figured he would pot be interrupted, and completed the lK)ok^ After that, he.never missed one. Preiser is another Indiana author, hav ing been born*in Terre llaute. His fiist journalistic experience was on a Chicago newspaper. At various times he 'was editor of half a dozen maga zines. There is honesty, even in New York and in these bard times. A woman came out of a bank clutching $23 in one-dollar bills. It was raining bard. In putting up her umbrella, the woman slipped and involuntarily opened her hand to catch herself. The hills were scattered by the wind, but beaten down by the rain. Wet. they stuck to sidewalk and street. Passersby. for half a block, hurried to pick them up. Then they gave them to the woman. She counted the wet bills to see how many she had lost. She had 25. I might add that only a woman would ilo-what she did then. The bills! were caked with mud. She took them home, washed them in the bathtub, and then ironed them. Good as new ! ©. 1522. Btll Syndkate—WNU Service. America has Just about be the land of opportunity to the European peasant and unskilled laborer if immigration figures on rec ord at Ellis Island can be accepted as a criterion. The infiux of aliens is diminishing week by week. During the fiscal year ended June 30 the total of immigrants admitted at thiA port from all foreign countries fell to 116,765—approximate ly. This is only a little more than one- third of the tota( of entries for the fiscal year of 1929-1930, which was re corded at 302,304. On* the other hand the number of aliens leaving these shores for their homelands is Increasing steadily. Dur ing the twelve-month period which has . just come to a close some 184,680 of them filed through Ellis Islands on their way back to the “old countries” as compared with a corresponding to tal of 170,412 for the fiscal year which closed June 30, 1930. Depression to Blame. Old Man Depi’essjpn is to blawe—or be credited. With mills and factories closing down or running on reduced schedules throughout the country, building operations coming to a stand still and farmers unable to hire help, the alien within our gates is finding It more and more difficult to find employ ment-even by undercutting the na tive-born worker. In many places, too, preference is give to America’s own needy in the distribution of relief funds—another thing which makes it difficult for the sojourning' immi grant to understand this land of ours. At least that is the way the immigra- fion officials size up the situation. The Immigration tide began to turn outward early last year. Between Jan uary 1 and the end of June of that year the departures outnumbered ar rivals in tlie country by 9,348. Figures for July, August and September mate rially increased tlie excess. The peak of the overflow was reached in May when a total.of 8,577 aliens departed voluntarily to the lands whence they came and when another 1,597 who had been found undesirable for one reason or another were forcibly deported. During the same month the total of in coming immigrants amounted to only 2,479 admitted for permanent resi dence for all ports of the country. Decline of 90 Per Cent. This compared with an average^f 3.031 monthly for tlie preceding ten months of tlie fiscal year. The May total was 09.4 per cent below the monthly average of 8,095 for the last fiscal year. 87.7 per cent below the monthly average for 1930 and 89.4 per cent below the average for the fiscal year 1929—tlie figures dealing in each case with immigrants officially classi fied as aliens defined for juirposes of the record .as immigrants who an nounce their intention of making their homes here. 'Hie department’s figures show that immigration as a whole and for the entire country has v'.eelined 90.3 per cent since three years ago when tlie influx from all sources except Mexico was practically normal The propor tionate decrease was larger in some cases, particularly for the Irish Free State, Scandinavian countries, Ger many and Great Britain, while that for Italy was 68.5 per cent and for Asia only 50.2 per cent. Immigration officials jhp to a year or so ago were inclined to give credit to tlie diminishing immigration tide to a strict enforcement of the immigra- tioh quotas laws. ** Under a policy laid down by President Jloover in Septem ber, 1950, consular offices began with holding visas from applicants who' might become public charges upon their arrival here and so zealously was tills rule carried out- that it came to tlie pass where a majority of aliens admitted for i>ernianent residence were near relatives of American citizens and aliens resident in the United States. This, of course, cut down the influx tremendously. But it is only in the last 18 months or so that the outflow has begun to gain the balance in volume and the author ities say there is no doubt the depres sion is primarily to blame. ;— i For a Limited Time Only WE continue to offer our very popular Permanent Wavfe with the beautiful linglet ends for only— /: v $2.50 FRENCH Method Permanent wave $3.30 Standard Frederic and Eugene Permanent Wave $5.00 Vita Tonic Permanent Wave __ $7.50 All Waves Guaranteed for 6 Months.
