The skyscraper real estate agent who Is
really mayor. police. health and street
cleaning commissioner and department OF
public works to a community of 10000
people under a single roof is the latest
specialist developed by the New York
realty market. For so vast has the real
estate field become in New York, with its
Sc 600 OOO 900 assessed valuation, and its
325 900 buildings. that no man can know
all of II. and there is great demand for
the specialist who knows thoroughly one
line. Many men do nothing but auction
nroperty-others will handle only business
buildings. or vacant lots. Some specialize
on mortgages. others deal exclusively in
hotel apartments, still others handle only
tenements or flats or dwellings or sub
urban property Some do an exclusive
renting business. others will only buy and
sell One of the queerest of all specialists
probably is the agent who sells a single
aparfment in a building to a man who
wishes to own rather than to rent fiat.
And in the 900 conveyances OF prop
erty in the S741 or of mortgages re-
corded and annual rents of about S4OO,OOO.-
900 q year, each specialist finds enough
commission for his particular activities to
make some one line profitable
Buyers and sellers are realizing the inn
portance of retaining these specialists, for
while 1t did not take any trained real
estate man to advise Peter Minuit. the

of leases and the collection and handling
of such huge monthly reptals is In itself
a big business. requiring a perfect office
system: but for that matter. merely keep
ing track of the 5000 door keys to such a
structure is in itself no small task. But
in addition to all of these things, the sky
scraper agent must keep absolutely in
touch with his entire neighborhood and
with practically every similar building in
the city. He must know, for instance,
whether the demand for offices in his
neighborhood and the price asked in other
buildings warrant an increase in rent. He
must keep in touch. with every municipal
proposition which would lead to assess
ments, and keep an eye on the mayor,
board of estimate. the aldermen. the state
legislature and officials generally.
What Position Demands.
But to be any kind of real estate spe-
cialist In New York one must have
broad knowledge of the general real estate
field, just as an eye specialist must also
be well grounded in general medicine.
And so broad has the field become and
so difficult is 1t to obtain anything like
comprehensive knowledge in reasonable
time through clerking in real estate offices
that a full f1edged real estate training
school has been established in the city,
where not only young men starting in the
business, but many of the most prominent
operators in the city. go to study all the
phases Of the real estate problem. The

the entire history of land and building

Cares for 10000 People.
Among realty specialists. the latest to
be recognized is the rental agent of the
great skyscraper who stands between the
10000 cliff jewellers in a business rockery
and the corporation which owns the build
ing In the early days of the skyscrapei
the agent would attend to three or four
buildings, but as structures forty-five
stories high and covering entire square
blocks began to go UP. the skyscraper
agent of a single building was developed.
and this man spends his business life and
makes a. good income from attending TO
property under a single roof.
The life of such an agent is busy one
and the things he must know about real
estate. business, human nature, house
keeping and a dozen branches of engi-
neering and trade are myriad. In the
first place. he is the head of a community
of perhaps 900 offices occupi' d by prob
ably 5000 people and visited daily by
from 1900 to 5000 others. He must
superintend the safe transportation by
elevators Of this daily army. In the next
place, he must see that the streets-the
corridors-of which there are sometimes
over a mile in a single building, are kept
clean; that offices are properly cared for
and all paper garbage removed at night.

committee of members of the real estate
board of brokers. Last year 316 men were
enrolled.
Three courses are given in the school
One Is a series of lectures on real estate
law. given by a prominent legal specialist
on real estate. Another course covers al
the phases of manag cement of modern
real estate business. The third is the
most important and is really unique In
educational lines. 1t consists of a series
Of twenty-five lectures given by promi-
nent real estate men and experts in al
lied lines. dealing with every phase of the
real estate mans problem. The lecturers
in the course continue to attend the ses-
sions as students after they have deliv-
cred their talks. and thus the school acts
as a great clearing house of information
and Ideas. The result of three successful
years of the school has practically been to
put the real estate business in New York
on plane with the higher professions.

Officers at Cooking School.
Many line officers are being sent to the
cooking school at Fort Riley in order
that they may know how to use their
rations economically. No one who has
not studied cooking can superintend it.
and each officer, particularly a captain,
is housekeeper. The line officers now
attending the Mounted Service School at
Fort Riley are given the cooking course.
All of Gen. Sharpe's officers of the COM
missary department are required to take
two months course at the School for
Bakers and Cooks Then they are given
another course under DR.. H. w. Wiley,
the pure food expert, at the bureau of
chemistry, Washington. Here they learn
the use of the microscope and polariscope
and how to make analyses of food stores
to be bought for the army. After this
they are sent to the Chicago packing
houses, where, under the guidance of the
government inspectors. they learn to de-
tect improper processes of packing and
curing meat. At the end of these courses

Army Eats $4,000 Pounds a Day.
How much will the army have eaten in
its three meals today?" 1 asked the COM
missary general. He replied:
"Seventy-seven thousand six hundred
and twenty-five pounds of flour, 60,37J
pounds Aof fresh beef. $500 pounds of
fresh potatoes. 15,525 pounds of bacon,
1880 pounds of fresh onions. 1896

of beans, 3, 40 pounds of rice. 3 60 pounds
Of salt. 11212 pounds of pepper. 345 gal
| Ions Of pickles and the same amount OF
| vinegar. This is presuming that the
whole army is in garrison and not in the
| field. Here We have about 2S6O0O pounds
in bulk of components of the garrison
ration. And If any one labors under the
mistaken notion that the soldier gets
plain fare out of these items and their
equivalents. let me show you some sam
pie menus. Glance over these. Here Is
| what the enlisted men of Troop G, 9th
Cavalry, had to eat Wednesday. Novem-

This is what the skilled army cook car

What will 1t have cost, general. to feed

to Salt Lake City. This equipment IS ar
ranged for supplying hot meals to 800 men
