"Hell's Kitchen," once the most menacing section in all Manhattan, now broods peacefully over its past sins. Where gang 'guns peppered the street in the old days, lines of push carts now present a colorful pano rama. Corners that were melodramatically listed aa "sure death" have become bustling market places for housewives. "Hell's Kitchen" was the name given a belt the theoretical googra- phy of Which SCth to 41st streets and Ninth avenue to the waterfront.

Here ranged the "Gopher a band of death-dealing gangsters whose exploits rival the bad. men of the "wild and woolly west." Such names as "Rubber" Shaw and "Tanner" Smith climbed into notorious eminence. Merchants of the neighborhood, fear in their hearts, paid big protection money. They would contribute to funds used for keeping gangsters out of prison. Time began to pat a soothing hand over this fevered belt.

The "gophers went the way of all gangs. But the name "Hell's Kitchen" stuck and still has a fearsome connotation. Peace-loving people went about their ways and, little by little, commerce Invaded the district. Outside of Orchard street upon the East Side, there Is, perhaps, no section of New York so colorful with pushcarts as this death hole of yesteryear. The peaceful hucksters find bold youngsters their only menace.

One merchant, who weathered the stormy years, looks back and smiles. Does he ever see any of the old gangsters? Yes, Indeed. And as they grew up they became Industrious and substantial citizens, he recites. Several are married and have families and come to him with their trade. One has become one of Broadway's Important supper club figures.

SWAN. (Copyright, 1928, NBA Service, Inc.) NEW ta.t pursed pa pas of Broadway have ingenious ways of gaining the acquaintance of pretty chorines. Tho old "stage dqor Johnnie" stuff isn't what it used to be and the competition for the company of the dancing darling Is keen in these days of supper clubs. Here's the latest wrinkle! A modiste, who caters to the showgirl trade, displays creations that take their breath and capture their desires. "Oh, I would like that, but I haven't the money," sighs th.e girlie.

"That's all right," smiles the mo- dlste. "If you wish I can Introduce you to a nlco very nice man with very generous, nice man And she can. This modiste, they tell mo, has a directory of at least ii dozen "sugar papas" ready to purchase a gown for an Introduction. Many of the girls get the gown, agree to the Introduction, and then ''give him the air." For a lone time New York had a 'professional hostess" bureau, A stranger, or a lonesome man had merely to call up and agrae to pay so much per hour for the service of a ooiiipinion and ha would be provided with a chatty, agreeable, good looking young lady. One could hire a companion for a dunce or for a theater or for a stroll There were many types to be had.

Apparently there are fewer lonesome men, or other sources of com inhnwlilp have bcon found. At any rate the bureau recently closed after losing money for some lime, I am told-that the "hostess" dance halls and cafes have been largely re sponslble. A stranger can wander into one of these and by paying an hourly rate can have the companionshipp of "hostess" for dances, drinking or chatting. One of these places hired 140 girls Several of these dance halls cater to Japanese, Chinese and forelgt trade. Here there is a great demand tor pretty American maids and tips are high.

On the one hand Is W. B. Woodward with hid "George Washington: he Imnge and the Mnn" (Bonl, Liveright); on the other la Rupert Hughea with his, "George Washington: the Human Being and the Hero" (Morrow). Their methods of approach differ considerably. Woodward makes his studies a boats for personal comment, cdltorlallzatlon and concluslontnc: tfughes links his research Into a nar- 'atlve, reserving comments for the biographers who have handled the subject In the past.

With these he is unsparing. He leaves Washington at the age of 30, before he became a world famed figure. Both Bee him as a great man, but with qualification? where legendary greatness are built. Both build htm of flesh and point to his weaknesses. Of two, Woodward Is the more search- nfely analytical; Hughes, more the biographer willing to present his case on his sources.

Assuming, then, the credit and praise which is there, cast an eye at the Idol smashing. Both stress his amatory adventure and his pleasures. Washington is revealed quite madly In love with Sally the wife of his best frlond, whom he mot while house guest to the Fairfaxes. Sally Is shown not unwilling of attentions, but Inclined to tease htm along a bit. Furtive love notes are repronuccn and contrasted with the luke-warm letters to his wife.

Woodward loaves us to conclude that Washington married for money. Such myths as the cherry tree are exploded and Hughes informs us that, If the youth would his life along the model of Washington, ho must behave as the aristocratic and gay youth of that time. That Is to Bay he must hold his liquor Ilka a gentleman, gamble bit, dance well and attend the theater; by all means he must dress magnlCl- cently and put qn lots of front, shoot well a'nd be a good fellow, be shrewd In business and a bit vain and dandy Ish, but at the same time keep hlc pride and dignity. "And what a fine code that it!" the author concludes. Combining the two pictures we gather that Washington was a somewhat typical Virginian; romantic, amorous, restless, adventurous.

The quality of his ancestry will not stand too close inspection, we gather. He was not as well educated or grounded as others In his class, was not imaginative, studious or democratic. Being of the a slave-holder although he felt slavery to be uneconomic, a hard taakmaster with his slaves and a good bargainer In them, It Is not.likely that ha either understood or agreed with the op ing of the "declaration" that mon are created equal." Also, we learn, there is consider able to be said about his military abll Ity. It was, we are told, none too good. Brave he was, fearless and adventurous.

But his participation in the revolution we gather may be laid to no idealism, but rather to a sense of adventure. We are told that In organizing his men ho all but ruined the ranks; that he let himself walk into a trap in New York, did badly at the battle of Long Island and got out of the only because the enemy also blundered. Again we are advised that while be assisted In the launching of the American government not a single plank was his. He was entirely too unoriginal and politically conventional. He waa excessively vain, we also learn, and Woodward feels that this vanity had a great deal to do with his achievements.

Further he was a good business man and was zealous In the search for land and possessions. He even speculated In land. The scandals surrounding his name In the French and Indian war also are aired, at particular length In the Hughes volume. Driven from Ft. Ne cesslty In his first battle, he Inter found himself accused of attacking a small party of French under a flag of none too pretty accusation.

A most ugly stir It caused and certainly a poor start for a young and ambitious man. "His career began with a like Napoleon," observes Hughes. "He suffered shame and ridicule at home and abroad." The prayer at Valley Forgo Is also denied and there are recitations that re.iificil to kneel In cluiroh. Thus does the idol go down and thf human being through the i volu-tion of two biographies. Certain does it BPem thnt our children and Kranflclilltlren will have a vastly dlf ferent elnnt on the "notion's Lest tha Impression bo created thai all IB dt'Strvictlve In the book, let us hnstpn to ndd thnl both writers voice thflr rrrpect for Washington, hall him ns a great man and lender, brave rinrl during no "pallid plaster saint of clay!"
