New York.—Broadway and Forty- Mcond street are going to attempt a Joint comeback. With their backs against the bill- hoards, so to speak, the dwindling rem nant of respectable business men still feitronched along the so-called “bright tight” stretches of the two famed thor oughfares have Joined forces for a last Asopalring effort to clean up the dis trict and, If possible, restore It to some •ambiance of Its former glory. They propose to drive out, or, at iMst, to thin out, thejfeprdes of side walk peddlers, fakirs and barkers that have Invaded the section from Coney Island, the lower East side and other vag-tag ends of the universe during the last few years. They are going to try to discourage by one means and anoth er the numerous “sacrifice sale” shops and other Cheap John stores that have sprung up about them like a growth of rank weeds They will fight to cut down the acre age of the endless eipanse of gaudy signs and shrieking billboards that greet the eye from every other lineal foot of wall and skyline space between Thirty-third and Fifty-ninth streets on Broadway and almost front river to liver on Forty-second street. They are out, in short, to try to make the district once more respectable At any rate they believe that when the drive is over It will t>e possible to tell a given stretch of the two streets from Youngest Prexy \ OUR EDUCATED^ YOUTH . .

Preliminary plans for tbe drive are being mapped out by the Forty-second Street Property Owners’ and Mer chants' association, headed by Julius Q. Kugelman, president of the Mill Factors’ corporation and the Broadway association. One of the first moves of the campaign, according to Mr. Kugel man, will be directed against signs “which detract from the attractiveness of the streets.’’ The Forty-second street association believes that no sign should extend more than one foot be yond the building line, and It will fight to make its views prevail not only in the altering of. present signs which vi olate this proposed restriction but In the erection of future electrical or me tallic signs. Recently, leading officials of the as sociation undertook a survey of thr~ “sign situation” In the Forty-second street section, and as a result of “rep resentations” made to offending mer chants some 66 of the most blatant slgus.. have been eliminated—either torn dawa or “subdued,” Edward W. Forrest, executive vice president of the association and field marshal of the campaign. _ Objectionable Dance Halle Cloee. Two objectionable dance halls have also been persuaded to close their doors, according to the same author ity. There are plenty of these “halls” left, particularly along Forty-second street- from Fifth avenue west, how ever, and the association proposes to train some of its heaviest fire upon them in the near future. Within the last year or so some of these “dlme-a- dance’’ places have been crowding “right up to Broadway’’ on the busy cross street. Mr. Forrest reported progress in the effort to eliminate peddlers and other solicitors on the street and told of the moves made to get the co-operation of magistrates in 4bl»-w*irkr~ On«' mirn; known as a “king of the razor-blade peddlers,” has moved "at least tem porarily” to another part of Manhat tan after having been fined three times, he announced. * Leaders of the **clean-up” campaign make no attempt to disguise the fact that tbefr chief motive iaio build ujr trade to something like the staPus It enjoyed before the section began to fall Into such disrepute. Thousands of young people annual ly are graduated from our universities and colleges. Many of these receive ad vanced degree* which Indicate they have been prepared for specialized lines of activity. The pro fessional schools also have turned 1 out a large num ber of doctors, en- gineers, den- tlsts, and many others intent upon different profes sional careers. It la always a thrilling experience to witness a large group of young people receiving the degree for which they labored from four to six years, and In some cases, even longer.

This season they come in undsr steam when Color will run -wtM not cro tk _ endless variety, sometimes all white, sometimes combined with color, some times with textile ruffs, sometimes in fancy weaves. The openwork weaves which have been out of style so many years have a pronounced vogue this year, which was hinted at a little last season. In order to have white gloves look right they must be kept of pristine whiteness. If the wearer wants to lodk well-groomed, she has to keep this In mind. And so the correct way of washing gloves should be remem- bered, and aft er each wearing, the pair must be laundered. Fortu- nateli it t&kea but tunlty possible for their children. In some cases young people have them selves worked their way through col lege. They perhaps appreciate their education more than those, far whom ?° >lenty of money was furnished through the college course. When we work for Max the Champion a moment or two to do the work. If tbe gloves are of regulation weave, ironing la re- qulred. Glovee'should be washed on the hands, In lukewarm light suds. Wash them aa you would the hands. Take a nail brush with bristles not too stiff, and brush the linger-tips and any parts which are particularly soiled. When clean, re move from the .hands and rinse lo clear water. Pull the gloves length wise, keeping each finger smooth and straight. They will 'dry quickest If wrung out In a turklsh towel. Then put on glove forms, or hang in an air current to dry. If the gloves are silk do not hang in the sun, lest they get yellowed. Fancy Cloves. Fabric gloves which havs a color combined with the white, should have a little salt addet water. When wrung out be careful not to have the color pressed' against tbe white. Dry ss quickly as possible. Beware of Ironing to hurry the evap- otherwlse. Gloves with pique, organdy, or oth er textile cuffs, require the cuffs to be Ironed. Pique will keep sufficiently stiff without the addition of starch,.to the rinsing water. Iron cuffs while still damp, and they will not only look their best, but will keep their ness longer. Be cautious about keep ing the rinsing starch water from the glove Itself. Put a thin cloth over the cuffs when Ironing those jWhlch have been starched. Cold starching calls for Ironing before the article or starched part gets dry. Tbe heat steams the starch and makes It ad hesive. Dark and While Gloves. When dark gloves with white or gandy or other textile cuffs are washed, the cuffs may be laundered without the glove. If there Is danger of crocking, run a folded turklsh or other towel up through the wrist opening and scrub tho white cuff over the towel. Be careful not to let the colored part get wet lest It run. The towel will, absorb enough water to aid this If the work is done deftly. ©, Bril SyadlofWNU BtHcs.

The question arises, however, what of the future? What will become of all these young people with their di plomas justly earned? Will they find some work to do in their chosen field of activity? Will all the doctors and engineers find jobs waiting for thenf? A review of the condition of our eco nomic life during the past few years readily convinces us that such Is not the case. In oue of our large clt(fs, where the CAVA was active In furnish ing work for the unemployed, could be found men'who held degrees from colleges, and in some. Instances, ad vanced degrees from foreign unversi- tles. A diploma from an accredited college does not guarantee a position. Preparation for a career is one thing, the realization of one’s Ideals In that career is quite another thing. Many other requisites ar4 essential to suc cess besides a college degree. Doubt less one of the most valuable experi ences one learns in college Is adapta bility and perseverance without which no success IS possible. The greatest lesson one learns in college is: how to work; how to adapt one’s self to unusual and discouraging environ ments. The cultural advantage of a college education Is most valuable, pro viding It prepares the student to meet the real issues in life. “Wisdom Is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom,’’ said the wise man of long ago. 0 by Wtatwrn lC«w»p«P*r Unloa.
