Only one of New York City's five boroughs on the U. S. mainland is The Bronx. Between it and Manhattan Island flows the sludgy little Harlem River. Between it and Queens on Long Island churns Hell Gate, connecting East River with Long Island Sound.* Until last week there was no way, except for a feeble ferry, for motorists on the mainland to reach Long Island without passing through Manhattan. This traffic gap was then closed by the ceremonious opening of a $60,300,000 collection of viaducts and spans called the Triborough Bridge...
...Deal millions. Made New York City's Fusion Park Commissioner in 1934, he worked out the essential chain of highways tying the bridge into Long Island's great parkway system and East Side Manhattan traffic. The heart of the Triborough begins with a suspension bridge across Hell Gate to Wards Island, whence the elevated highway turns north to Randalls Island. There occurs the Y's split, one arm reaching across the Harlem River on the world's biggest (but not heaviest) lift bridge to Manhattan, the other crossing The Bronx Kills to the mainland by means...

Roosevelt!" At that traditional signal all hell broke loose on the convention floor. Delegates danced and pranced, whooped and hollered, marched and capered in a mighty effort to display their enthusiasm for their leader. For a full hour the parade milled round & round the hall, giving off all the noise that lungs and instruments could make, carrying...
...church work, said he, is largely due to laymen who "pretend to run the churches," and to a declining birth rate. "A willingness to sacrifice to have more children and to give them home Christian training is fundamental to an efficient church. . . . We old fellows can go to hell without affecting posterity, but the habits of our children are of the utmost importance. A parent begins to take his child to the movies when the youngster is 4 years old and then wonders why the child is queer when reaching the age of 16. . . . We must encourage our mem bers...
