Against High Buildings.

William f. Burbank, president Of the
United States National bank and vice
president Of the State Saving and Com
mercial bank of San Francisco, who
has made a study of the effect Of HIGH
buildings, Wishes to have them limited
In the new San Francisco.
He says that the elevator shafts of a
tall steel building when on fire operate
as furnace, and the current of air
caused thereby is such that fireman
cannot keep his feet In the Balti-
more fire the firemen were not able to
stand within 200 feet Of the tall steel
buildings, and no water was thrown on
them at all. Most of the skyscrapers
were destroyed in twenty minutes from
the tine they took fire This is testt-
mony before the engineers society OF
western Pennsylvania. The experience
Of Baltimore led to a limitation in the
height Of buildings to It's feet, as APP
pears from an article in the Craftsman
Magazine. The principal European
cities-London, Berlin, Paris and Wien
na-restrict the height of buildings to
less than 100 feet. Boston and. Wash
ington have also adopted height limits.
Ernest Flagg, a New York architect.
believes that ten stories should be the
limit, and he figures that buildings
higher than that have not paid well
finaScially, Mr.. Flayelle, a, San Fran
cisco architect, is Of the same opinion.
Excessively tall buildings are pirates
OF air and sunshine They are iniuri-
GUS to the, owners Of neighboring prop
erty. They also disfgure city be-
cause they lead to great irregularity
IN the sky line. From the standpoint
of a fire hazard Mr.. Burbank thinks,
the city would be justified in limiting
all buildings to a height Of twelve
stories. The vanity or greed Of own
ers Of choice corners is opposed to
such limitations, but the welfare of
all other people and the protection Of
the city seem to demand the limitation.

Repairing tRe WARDROBE.

If some benefcent soul would only
invent white gloves that needn't be
washed every night. straw hats that
wouldn't fade and soil. and q w more
other things that would be pretty with
out being also provokngly perishdble,
how much trouble would be saved,
Still it's nice 10 know that most Of
these delicate garments worn this year
viii clean. and moreover can be clean
ed AT home.
The first aid in home cleaning is full
er's earth. A package costs > cents,
and il fills a coffee cup. Il removes dirt
and grease spots. leaves no odor, doesn't
fade things, and is perfectly safe 10
work with.
To clean delicate cloth, shake 1t TO
remove loose dust, and brush 1t with
an ordinary clothes brush, then, draw
over an ironing board. go over every
inch Of the surface with a rather stin
flesh brush that has been cleaned ana
dried. and then dip in the fuller's earth.

mon laundry starch In a little clear
water and rub the mixture into the
spot; allow this To dry. preferably in

marks also, and viii not yellow the hat
as gasoleue does, nor eat the straw, as
the various acid cleansers do.
White and delic2tely colored feathers,
which are soiled but not limp from
dampness can be beautifully cleaned
with fuller's earth. They should be
stretched on a cloth, and the earth
rubbed in with a fine brush.
With fuller's earth or gasOlene any
sort of a parasol can be beautifully
cleared if il is not allowed 10 become
too dirty. Articles of summer weight,
such as chiffon, silk or embroidered
linen viii all yield to the light brush
with the fuller's earth; in fact nothing
/ else Is so reliable for cleaning chiffon,
as the powder viii not injuTe the fabric

troubIe lies in the silhouette, which must,
this year. present a certain very striking
concordance The high waist line the
short Jacket, and the tilted hat make

small sailor hat is also responsible for
the monOtonOus appearance of the shop

in the shops wears a short brimmed
sailor. raised from the back, and decor
afed with a sweeping feather of some
