Summer rugs should be down by this time and winter ones put away out of moths’ temptation.

And Tammany cannot be accused of paying it. Briefly, the case is this. George Schraeder has lived for many vears at 228 West 38j±i Street, right ! n the heart of a manufacturing strict. At night nobody lived in he district but Schraeder, " and ! ust for him the city had to have a rolling booth, a set of election of- •icials, books, and a lone cop to keep order. ' And all> to count the one vote. City officials have worked with Schraeder for years, trying to per suade him to change his legal resi- ierce but he proved obstinate until a few days ago when he moved a mile away. And the city will be $400 ahead every election from :iow on. Home, James! ( Every evening, around Times Square, one can see workmen, cov ered with the grime of the daily toil, hot and sweaty from slaving in close rooms, step into taxicabs to be whirled away to their homes, six or seven miles away. They do it to avoid the terrific crush and heat of the subway rush hour. Here’s the catch. They do not ride alone but wait until the driver has corralled four or five others, all going in the same general direc tion. Then they prorate the fare, often not more than thirty cents each, and ride home to their own doors in style. Hundreds take advantage of this system every night. It is a modem adaptation of the old jitnej^buses that had a brief success during u he war. A Real Swell Over in Jackson Heights, an out lying part of the city, there is a successful sandwich man. He prowls the streets carrying boards advertising looal merchants, hand ing out circulars at the same time. He never lacks for work, as all the local dealers have found he pro duces business for them. . Besides attending to business, he likes to stop and gossip with mo thers out with their children. Re cently he confided to my wife that if it had a few more good days with the beauty shop he was then advertising, he intended to buy a palm beach suit for the hot weath- or. That’ll knock the eyes out of the boys when they see it,” comment ed this gutter dandy. New York’r “Front” Everybody here gets the slant o^ putting on a front. The city is the best dressed cne in the world. And the citizens do not confine them selves to their clothes but extend the idea to the buildings. Only a few years ago all brick makers had two qualities of pro duct—face brick and common brick. They still have but they now sell the face brick for use on all four outside walls and not just on the side fronting the street Naturally all the big buildings, like L he cowering Empire State and Chrysler, have the same finish on all sides, but, to one used to -he old-fashioned plan of ugly backs and sides to apartment buildings, the New York idea looks like one well worth adopting in every city. And the additional cost is :.iot pro hibitive. An Anachronism The nost evil smelling business ^ any size in the wide world, " that of the furriers. A trip through heir district, which centers around he Pennsylvania station, is a ter rible thing on a *hot day for any^ body with a delicate lose. Be yond question it is worse than the smell of the notorious Chicago stockyards. The thing that struck us hardest on our last jaunt through the fur district was that it adjoins and overlaps the wholesale florist dis trict. An overwhelming stench from a furrier’s is succeeded a second later by odoriferous perfume from a store full of American beauties, or violets or some other fragrant blossom. A few minutes later the smell of frying doughnuts may be followed by the effuvia of smoking onions, if it happens to be near the noon hour. And one, can gfct all thesef smells while passing through one small block in Bagdad on the Sub- Every New York policeman has his shoes polished up to the last degree. You can find one without his shield sooner than without a polish. Their uniforms are always pressed and there is not a set of men in the world who present as smart an appearance as the 19,000 men on Commissioner Mulrooney’s lojrce. Naturally, on $60 a week, the pay of a New York cop, they can af ford to dress better than they used to when they drew $80 a month not so very many years ago. Police Wire-pulling Naturally, with so many on the force, there is ^ certain amount of Russian Tea Punch This has a foundation of a quart of tea, strong, but quickly brewed Nothing is worse in iced drinks than tea that has been brewed inside politics played all the time, long enough to produce a bitter -iso' ha» some,,influence, on, the wy. ^ v •Police Chesterfields One of the choice assignments over which the men battle is the tri weekly job of policing the crowd at the Goldman band concerts in Central Park. And the way they fight each other for the privilege of getting that job is nobody’s busi ness. Each concert attracts close to 7,- COO people, half of whom get seats while the remainder are allowed to drape themselves on the grass or wherever they can find a point of vantage. The police are there to keep them in order—and one pinch a century would be a high average. All the cops have to do is listen to one of the finest con certs on earth and then go home. A‘Wonderful Gift iTie Goldman band concerts are just o\ie sample of the hundreds of free amusements offered New Yorkers all through the year. The city gives the bandstand and the Guggenheim family, which made a huge fortune in minerals in the Rocky Mountains, pays the musi cians, the cost running to many thousands of dollars every year. The band plays at Columbia University campus on alternate nights, thereby drawing a totally different crowd. In the bourse of the year probably a million peo ple hear the band, not to count the many millions more who listen in by radio. Even New Yorkers who seem to find it hard to praise any thing in especial about their city, admit the Goldman band concerts are wonderful. The Goldman band is lust one more thing that links New York up, in its likes ahd dislikes, with the smah tb'fcm. Hundreds of small places support a town band and Mie tri-weekly summer scene in Central Park differs only in size from the happenings in myriad of smaller places throughout the country. A New Wrinkle The best shoe polisher in the world has a stand in the shadow of the Metropolitan Opera House, just off Broadway. Like most of them, he .is an Italian. He puts four or five different kinds of polishes on your shoes and makes them look ike :iew. What hit me most was tHat when [ sat down in his chair he tucked in my shoelaces, so they wouldn’t get wet, and then slipped in pieces of leather about as big as a half- sole, into the sides of my shoes, letting them stick up to protect the socks from getting stained. It was a touch of the real service one gets in this town. It’s a good tip for your local shoe shiner. Boot Trees Nearly every man in New York owns one or more pairs of boot trees—those chunks of wood shap ed like the foot that go in • the shoes when you take them off They keep the leather from shrinking and make them look like new right up to the day you fire them into the garbage can. Of course, all women everywhere keep their shoes on lasts when they are not being worn, but New York is probably the only place in this country where the men use them. In England, where it rains every day for months, everybody has to use them or have tlieir shoes look like Charley Chaplin’s. X Bulls intended for heavy breed ing service need some extra feed for about 30 days before and dur ing the breeding season to be in good condition. A few pounds of grain mixture, with perhaps a lit tle protein concentrate such as linseed meal or cake, is satisfac tory. The quantity of grain should not exceed 1 pound to each 100 pounds of live weight. Usually one-Jialf or two-thirds of this quantity is enough. txt No woman looks half as bad in the morning as she thinks she looks.

Rhubarbade Into a .casserole put a pound of rhubarb cut in small pieces, half a cup of sugar, a cup of water, and bake covered until the rhubarb is tender. Strain, add a quart of ice water, the juice of one large orange and two lemons, and serve.

Cool and add a small can of chopped pineapple, the juice of 3 lemons and of 4 medium iranges, and a bottle of charged water. Add a quart of cold water, ^nd pour on chopped ice in small or large glasses. Milk Shakes It is quite possible, to make de licious milk shakes at home. You can, for a considerable price, buy ■•p electric milk shaker, or you can for a very reasonable price buy a hand shaker that is quite satisfac tory. Then make chocolate syrup and keep it on the ice, and when you want a milk shake put syrup and milk and ice in your shaker, and shake. If you like, add malted milk, which, by the way, comes with the chocolate already mixed with it, so that you can omit the chocolate syrup. Add a drop or two of vanilla if you wish it. Caramel Ice Cream Cne quart of cream, half pound of sugar, one tablespoon of vanilla, one pint of milk. Put four extra ounces of granulated sugar in an iron frying-pan, and stir over the fire until the sugar melts, turns brown, boils and smokes.

Frozen Coffee Custard This recipe for coffee ice cream calls for less cream. The richness is provided by the eggs. Four eggs, half pint of cream, half pound of sugar, one pint of milk, half pint ol strong coffee. Put the milk in a double boiler to scald. Beat the eggs and sugar to gether until very light, add them to the hotjnilk, cook an instant, take from the fire, add the cream and coffee. When cold, freeze.
