The "Mgyor's Lamps" are an institution as inviolable as the famous lsws of the nnd the Pen.,*nt Rut It looVti Modes But

J aa if this ancient tradition must go by the board / — for John Purroy Mitchel hasn't any real front door! / Mr. Mitcbel baa the distinction of being the first mayor here to live in an apartment house The now borough president. Marcus M. Marks, [k- will be sorely puzzled when he tries to have hi* ^ men put up those lamps. A visit to the big Peter h- Stuyvesant apartment house In Riverside drive B convinced the writer after be had been whisked 9 up seven floors it the elevator that even the I ample corridor from which Mr. Mltcbel's foyer ■ door leads would be cramped by the antediluvian E street lamps of monstrous sjxe which custom de a erect. Then again this lsn t really Mr. Miicbel's front door.

i ' The imposing entrance to the Peter Stuyvesant is already well provided, id j Uwnh you, with electric braziers, which give plenty of Illumination and bar. I uf I monixe with the architecture, and the homely word "front door" dies on the ' 1 tongue here, too. So the owners of the apartment bouse and the many other I ' tenants, not realizing the honor they should feel In their identification with i 3 I the mayor, might object. Altogether It Is a perplexing problem. Mayor G.->; nor, who. like all his _ predecessors, lived In his own mansion, is said to Lave remarked in his caustic fashion that it was a "useless custom" when he saw. the workmen without consulting him putting up their twin lighthouses before his Brooklyn Then the Thespians are having their troubles these days, too.

Why the Policeman Had Real Plain "Grouoh" On 1 CLEVELAND, O. — One, of the policemen waiting in the locker room of the central station for roll call, plainly had a grouch on.- l'..t:<lman Hank | Gerow stood and grinned at him. In response be finally elicted u sickly smilu 1 ' I and an explanation. t i explanation.

It sefmed that the sister of this policeman's , wife, he'r husband and their two children had dei. scended upon his house the day before, tinex- '• pected and uninvited, and intended to make a visit of two weeks, t "Cheer up, .old top." roared Hank genially as he slapped him on the back with a hand as big as a j Westphalian ham, "it might be worse. "For instance, one summer, when I took my vacation, I went to Philadelphia. Naturally. 1 p drifted over to police headquarters to get acp quaintcd there a little. One mighty fine fellow I met and took a liking to, was Patrolman Michael Pugusky. He seemed mightily tickled about something and before long he told me that in a day or two his father and mnlhpr whnm ha had j mother,

not seen since he was a boy, were coming over from Russia, after much ~ solicitation on his part, to live with him. That man certainly did look for i ' ward with much Joy to meeting them again. » "Well, It happened that I was at the Pennsylvania railroad station, ready to take a train home, when thejr arrived. As soon as Pugusky saw them ho . rushed up and embraced them My, but he was happy! Then his mother i asked: r 'Ts there room for all, Michael?" ■ | "All?" he echoed. His mother pointed to 12 other people standing modestly at one side. ' j "Your aunts, your uncles, your cousins," she announced. "They have | come to live with you also, having heard how rich snd powerful are the j j police in this country " "Pugusky grabbed the back of a seat for support and for a time he looked ' i as though be were trying to swallow something about the size of a dog. But he wsb game, that man was— I'll bet he is a good policeman. He tried hard to smile while he shook hands with all of them, then marshaling the 14 new j members of his family in procession, he marched them away toward home." I ! '

She looked her diminutive seatc'ate over from head to foot The look was not especially approving. Finally she could contain 'herself no longer. "Did you pay that woman to get your seat?" she asked. "Certainly," was the smiling answer. "I have to do it every once and a while. You see," she went on, "I work pretty hard all day and when night I'm pretty tired.
