NEW YORK (N.A.N.A.). —The small Siiops of Little Syria, in Rector and Washington streets, far downtown, are announcing final sales, and their prices are marked down because the shabby buildings that house them are marked to come down. It will be a great change. Certain rows of these shops make the most fem inine-looking layouts in Manhattan, be cause the merchandise consists mainly of filmy garments never seen except in bed rooms. The shops will be succeeded by hotels and apartment houses almost exclusively for men of Wall Street. In the 90s. when Little Syria grew up here, it was a highly picturesque dis trict, and because of the Turkish coffee and pipes and the occasional sound of seductive airs played on reeds it became known among the police as the “Hoo chee-Koochie” precinct. The dance by that name, never yet adopted by Amer ican society, was then being presented to the American public for the first time at the World’s Fair in Chicago.

PITTSBURGH, February 15 Only one minor outbreak was reported to day in Pittsburgh's strike of taxicab drivers, which, during the past week, has resulted in disorders in which po lice used tear gas to hold back crowds, strike-breaking drivers and guards were injured and cabs burned. Cabs were barred from all street stands in the East Liberty section of the city and from some stands in the Oakland district. The order was issued by P. p. Walsh, police superintendent, who visited the areas where the most serious trouble has occurred. Cabs will be allowed to cruise the streets, it was said. Walsh's order came almost simul taneously with an attack on a cab in Oakland. A brick, directed at the cab, crashed through a store window. Police reserves, some of them mount ed, patroled snow-swept streets of East Liberty and Oakland streets during the day, which was marked by a sharp drop in temperature. MLss Emmeline Pitt, Federal labor conciliator, met with the executive committee of the strikers late todav in an effort to end the strike. No state ment was made as to the result of the conference, which was one of a num ber held with the strikers by Federal and State mediators since the labor dispute arose five weeks ago. • ■■ Jamaica exported 22.000.000 stems of bananas last year, breaking all its rec ords.
