THE NEW YORKER Mens Luncheon Service-474 Street Entrance Boston Notes

TAMES MICHAEL (Honest Jim) CURLEY, Boston's mayor, who did his stretch some years back for obligingly taking Civil Service examinations under the name of a less brilliant friend, has got his fighting blood up. Ever since "La- fayette Mulligan," self-alleged and fic- titious ex-secretary to his Honor, offered the keys of the city to H. R. H. the Prince of Wales, James Michael has had sleuths on the trail of the miscreant. The latest suspect is one Buxton, the local Frank I. Cobb whose prose masterpiece, "Who Made Calvin Coolidge?” won the Pulitzer prize as the loveliest editorial of last year. Buxton and his buddies on the Harald deny their guilt and the hounds of justice are sniffing new trails. Madison Avenue at 47 Street NEW YORK I. Maillard Confections Jaported Bonbonnieres Luncheon - Tea It is rumored that the boys from Scot- land Yard are also in the chase. Appar- ently the British Government feels that the anonymous Mulligan has made royalty ridiculous by sending a fake invitation which Albert Edward took seriously. They have the coöperation of the Lily Gilders' Union. Michigan Fat Jackson CHICAGO The foam on the crest of Boston's crime wave is dashing high. The other day Police Commissioner Wilson and the "Model Cop," whose name escapes us but does not matter, were passing the time of day in front of a Schulte cigar store, one block away from the clegant Hotel Tou- raine. The talk was turning on some such subject as the Celtic Renaissance or the Traffic Problem, when a bandit walked into the store behind them and walked out again some minutes later with $180 in his pocket just as the Commissioner 323 agreeing with the cop that Donn Byrne was the greatest writer since Synge. The gunman is still loose. The police force seems a triflc looser.

The latest attempt took the form of rubbish cans bearing colored advertise- ments much like those that decorate the kiosks on the Boulevard des Italiens. These were supplied by an advertising firm which paid the city $10 apiece for each receptacle. When they were all in- alled such a howl went up from the same people who wish that we had side- Walk cafes that the offensive objects have teen ordered off the streets.
