OF course no accurate census has or
can be taken OF this criminal class,
but It is probably not less than one
half million in number, who follow
q life of crime and make q living
out Of it. These are waging
ceaseless war not only against pro.
perty, but against all Law, all gov
eminent, against civilization itself.
The social and moral aspect Of the
crime, therefore transcends its fin.
ancial phases. All that We hold
dear, and all that makes life worth
living, is at stake in this fight for
the suppressing Of crime and the
upholding Of law.
1t is unnecessary to attempt any
classification OF these criminals, but
the larger number and in some 70.

the most serious problem is how TO

growing in numbers and power.
Two hundred thousand licensed
saloons in the United States are

follow crime for living, but the

radiate the various rooms and the manner In
which this has been done, each room Is en-
tirely separated from the adjoining room,
so that the different members Of family may
enjoy absolute privacy and seclusion. Another
notable feature is the large size of II the rooms
The smallest bedroom in the building, for eX-
ample, is eight by twelve feet, while the ma
jority of them are considerably larger There
are parlors as large 1SX21 feet and dining
rooms l46X2J6. An amount of closet space
has been provided that is calculated to fill the
soul Of the average apartment dweller with
envy There is not a bedroom but what IL has
a great big closet or wardrobe. Besides these,
closets have been provided in the most un-
looked for places, but everywhere they are un-

The careful study that has been given to every

Of the woodwork and fixtures that have been

finish Of the woodwork in all but the dining
rooms is in white enamel which gives a de-
lightfuly cheerful and attractive appearance to

mand appears be general, and not cohhned 10
any particular section the city to any special
kind of trading. Small transactions usually grow
in volume this time Of the year, but the NUMBER
of small sales in the week is greater than for
any corresponding period for the last few years.
These sales a feature of the real estate mar
ket of the last week. Another feature was the in
teresng big deals. One of the largest sales OF the
week was reported the last day. and was the

Graham Court is built around a court, l9x1OS
feet, in the centre of which is a large fountain.
Access to the apartments is gained through
broad archway on the Seventh Avenue side.
In each OF the four corners of the building there
is an entrance TO an elevator and a staircase.
1t is hardly necessary TO state that the manner
in which the building is planned insures
amount of light and air unequalled in any other
apartment house in the city, every room in each
apartment being either lighted from the street
or the interior court.
The construction of the building is absolutely
freproof. All the partition walls of fire
brick and by way of additional precaution
against the spread of fire a fire hose has been
placed in the main halls on every floor, which.
the moment it IS unrolled, releases the stream of
water automatically. Among other up-to-date
fea lures are mail chUtes, a long distance tele-
phone in each apartment and complete system
OF electrical call bells. The rents OF the apart
ments range from 5000 to $4,000 a year.

modern apartment architecture in this city. II

which are arranged in suites Of. from six 10
eleven rooms.
Every room in this great structure either
faces the street or the large interior court,
which covers more space than three city lots. A
radical departure from the conventional type Of
apartment house Is thus presented, a departure
which may eventually result in an entirely new
form OF domestic architecture in this city. The
main advantages Of this type Of building are the
sunlight and air that are secured for every room,
and the privacy that may be enjoyed by every
tenant The architects Of Graham Court are
Clinton & Russell.
