The Prize Exhibit-
New York has three Zoos,, the
most famous being the Bronx
which is famous all over the world.
The Central Park Zoo is the oldest
and is even smaller than the Pros
pect Park one in, Brooklyn. The
one in Central Park draws many
thousands of visitors, even with its;
small collection of wild animals-.
The hippo and giraffe are really
about the only valuable animals in
that Zoo.
The exhibit which draws the
most visitors and is hard to get
near on Sundays is one that is
nothing less than an ordinary
farmyard, rather smaller than us
ual for the number of denizens it.
contains. Inside the fence are a
mule, cow, goat, donkey, turkey, a
few hens, geese, ducks and so on.
And the public, most of them for
eigners, stand and stare and
dream, unless there are children
along, in which case there is an
outpouring of all varieties of
languages.
New York Signs—
In certain neighborhoods certain
languages take precedence over
the English language, both in street
conversations and in signs. The
Williamsburg Bridge that connects
lower East Side with Brooklyn, has
some signs entirely in Jewish. Oth
ers carry Italian and English. This
same condition obtains in the
southern portion of Central Park.
On the north end, where the popu
lation is mostly black, straight
English is used. v
Up in the Bronx there are quite
a few places where German is used
alongside of English. In other parts
of town one can see signs in Arabic,
Greek, and one eating place bears
a sign in the Hindustani language,
one of the oldest in the world.
Nearly all of these foreign places
are. eating places. The Russians
have dozens of cafes, all bearing
signs in their funny looking
language.
Lingual Shock—
Away down town the other day
we were strolling through the Per
sian district. Several small boys
were playing ball in the narrow
street and using typical tough New
Yorkese to express themselves. One
of them had just yapped: at anoth
er.
“Gee, f chase yourself. We’re
gonna play ball,” when a third
story window opened and a pretty
Assyrian woman looked out and
saw the boy. He was wanted ap
parently, as a musical stream of
language issued from the woman’s
mouth and the little boy looked Up,
grunted just like any other Ameri
can boy and yelled up at her, “Oh,
alright. I’ll come up,” and the
window closed softly.
Syrian Shops—
Within a cats jump of Wall
Street there are lots of Syrian
shops devoted to lingerie. For
many centuries the women of the
near East have been noted for their
needlework and these shops carry
a certain amount of such importa
tions. But the mainstay for most
of them are “importations” from
New York sweat shops and look
like very ordinary stuff. Even the
prices are just about what one
would pay in any shop in the land.
The district is one of the few dis
appointing ones in the whole city
to us. That is except for the won
derful bakeries the Syrians operate
along Washington street, just
around the comer from the under
wear shops. '
New York’s Medical Center—
Some years ago Edward Hark-
ness left ten million dollars to
found a medical center here and
several blocks were bought uptown
and $4,000,000 spent for buildings
and another for fittings. The rest
of the money is out on interest and
grew so fast it worried the trustees.
Recently they decided to spend
the money on another medical
center and they will probably “go
broke,” as they want to do, in put
ting it up. Both the wealthy and
the poor are treated at these cen
ters, attracted by the wonderful
skill of the experts on the staffs.
They are doing a vast amount of
good in preventing disease and cur-
inr latients.
