A Great Store Always 'Has ' Q How Crowded With Foot Passengers the Streets Are Js Constantly Remarked and how difficult it is to cross the streets packed as they are morning, noon and night with automobiles! And how many people seem to have nothing to do! Just a few steps up the street two men were vigorously trying to fit a block of stone to its place in the wall of a new building, and on the pavement there was a crowd of twenty idle men watching the others at work. - , Over in the Mayor's Office there arc certain men lifting and building, and there are crowds looking on and criticising. So it is, too, with the P. R. T., some men plugging away hard to make things go and dozens loitering around, tearing down while others build. Signed Dec. 8, 1020. r 9 pmwfo.
