shifts to which some or the Greek Letter Fra.
ternity Clubs Are Put.

Several of the Greek letter fraternity clubs
now run their bars on the cooperative plan.
They pay no Raincs law tax because they
couldn't afford to do so. There is comparatively
little drinking in these clubs. and yet 1t is abso-
lutely necessary to their existence that wines
and liquors should be served in them when or
dered. The only way in which they may now
evade the law is for eGch member to buy out
right whatever wines or other liquors he may
want and keep his own private stock at the
club. In some Of these clubs there is the
mcrest p%retence of doing this. A member may
buy ono bottle OF whiskey and one bottle of
wine, and then order from the club bar for
the next six months on the strength of it:

Several small clubs have been forced to go out
of existence because they couldn't afford a
license. and they didn't propose TO violate the
law by running on a cooperative plan.

MARCH OF THE ARCHITECTS.
Another Profession That Is Removing from
Downtown Up N~orthwnrd.


The uptown movement of the architects be-
gan several years ago. and since that time they
have been transferring themselves northward
steadily. Now some of them have got as far up
as Fifty.ninth street; but they are exceptions.
The point about which the majority of them
have settled Is at about Twenty. third street
and Fifth avenue. They have invaded the
quarter which the publishers had begun to
look upon as their own. Fifth avenue In that
region is now crowded with architects. and the
first tenants to occupy the big Office buildings
put up on Fifth avenue we're the architects, who
went In along with the wholesale silk and
feather dealers and the usic and organ stores.
1t was primarily the convenience OF their
patrons that led to tho uptown march of tho
architects. Many OF their clients were women,
or, at all events. women were interested In many
of the orders that were given, and women found
1t irksome to take trips downtown SO frequently.
1t was next for convenience to themselves that
the architects made the move. There was really
no good reason why they should be downtown
among tho stock brokers and in the rush and
hurry OF business. There was something In the
comparative quiet of the uptown office buildings
which WAS much better suited to a profession
like architecture. Every circumstance seemed
to favor the upward movement, and the result
was that they started and are continuing stead
lily On their way. IL tho uptown tendency con-
tinues for the next two years with the force that
IL has shown in the past, the man who wants to
find an architect below Fourteenth street will
have n difficult job.

III Is to be observed further that only l6l
quarts of adulterated milk were thrown away
IN 1896, against 1917 in 1895. and the arrests
were as 900 to $50. In 1896 tho license OF but
one dealer was revokcd-the revolving OF q IL
cense being due to q second violation of the
milk ordinance.
On the whole, the milk supply Of this city
offers but one reason for complaint on the par
of the consumer. The one thing needed to
perfect It is some method for eradicating. dis
ease among tho cattle in the districts from
which the supply comes. The city's Board OF
Health cannot inspect the cattle In an up
State county, let alone any in Massachusetts or
Pennsylvania. As n matter Of fact, tubercu.
losis prevails among tho cows throughout. the
regions from which the milk comes. Just how
many of them have, it is not yet ascertained.
but the best authority says about 90 cows In
! 1000 are afflicted throughout the State of
New York. The steady increase in tho num-
bor Of deaths among, the people from tubor-
cular consumption is duo in great part to. this
fact, but the State boards of health arc afraid
to make thorough work of removing the cause.
because of tho attention given to the condi-
ton, Of the cattle by the agents of the New
York buyers, the percentage of diseased cattle
among the herds tributary to New York is un;;
doubtcdly smaller than it is In the general
run OF cattle. Probably not more than six
cows in q hundred nre contributing germs Of
tuberculosis to the milk supply of the city. 1t
is not unlikely that the people will some time
give sufficient attention to tho matter to have
even this evil eradicated.
