TOOT, TOOT, BOOM!
Nearly everybody in the country
hears some train go rushing by in.
the dead of night, whistling for a.
crossing. It’s kind of soothing to
the nerves. But they can be glad
they do not live in Greenwich Vill
age, here.
The “village” is right in the heart
of town and within a block or so
of where the big liners dock. Two
or three nights a week one of the
big boats leaves for Europe and, as
it leaves the dock, whistles for fer
ryboats and tugs to get out of its,
way. It can’t stop in a few feet
o.nce it gets momentum on and it
has to whistle.
And that whistle is like the sound
of Gabriel’s trumpet, to those who
hear it for the first time At sea
it can be heard for ten miles or
more. You can guess how it sound*
in the next block.
THE SEAMEN’S INSTITUTE—
One charity that is little heard of
outside of seafaring circles is the
Seamen’s Institute down at the foot
of Broadway. It is a lodging house
for sailors, giving them a better
room than they have on shipboard,
for 60 cents a day. It costs a lot
more than that to pay expenses
and the deficit is met by wealthy
men and women. x -
A curious, self-imposed duty the
Institute carries out is to locate
missing seamen for their relatives..
People away from the sea never
realize how easy it is for a man t»
drop out of sight forever, unless
they have a sailor in their owm.
family. More than 250 missing sail
ors have been located by Mother
Roper, this year alone.
MUTTONTOWN, L. I.—
Ever hear of that town? Probably
not as it was formed only last
week. It is composed of some 35
millionairies whose big estates cen
ter on the new town.
The group, tired of being a fifth
wheel on surrounding towns, decid
ed to have their own town. At ’the
first meeting there were just thir
teen voters present but they went
ahead and acted for the others,
most of whom were in Europe.
They will raise their owrx taxes,
name their own policeman, coron
er, magistrate and all the rest of
the officials needed. The town,
has a population of 282 persons,
counting servants and children. It
is expected there will be just
enough offices to go around the 35
regular voters.
The name comes from the Mut-
tontown Road, an old highway
dating from Revolutionary times.
UNION IfAY FOR SAVAGES—
Martin Johnson, the African ex
plorer, recently brought back twe»
Uganda natives and installed them
in a colored section of Harlem.
Then a bright colored promoter
found he could make some money
by having one of the boys lecture
in Swahili. He was making about*
$200 a lecture and giving the Ug
anda boy $1 and a pair of golf *
breeches for each appearance, be
fore his racket was found out.
Then the two boys demanded $5
a day from Johnson and a hotel
room. That was too much an&
the explorer got a big police lieu
tenant to tell the boys to shut up
or he would throw them into jalL
Also their visits to Harlem, where
they learned American ways tce»
quickly, have been shut off.
