NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
POINTERS

Isn't it about time for the fiat
house? In the growth of all cities
there comes a time when the rent of
a single house in a desirable location
becomes excessive to the man of mod
crate means. 1t is then that the flat
house appears and permits him to
share the burden of expense with 9TH
ers in like circumstances. Whether
Phoenix is ready for the flat house
epoch or not is open to discussion and
experiment. That moderate number
of these convenient buildings would
return larger per cent on the invest
ment than single houses is quite prob
able. Work has just begun on the
first house in Phoenix that at all re-
sembies a flat house. 1t is a single
story double house with the rooms so
arranged that they are little apart
ments by themselves. The house will
be built for B. F. Goodwin on First
avenue 1t was designed by d. w. Mil
lard, and will cost $4,000. On each side
Of the house are four rooms and bath
with separate entrances. The rooms
are a bed room. living room, dining
room and kitchen, with plenty of
closet space and screen pOrches at the
rear. Though the appearance of the
building from without does not sug-
gest the double house yet the apart
ments are distinct and separated by a
thick wall which will deaden all sound
and also, in case of fire, tend to con-
fine the flames to but one side of the
house. 1t would seem that a house
built on somewhat the same plan but
made two stories instead of one and
containing at least four apartments
would be a great boon to visitors from
abroad and especially to those from
the larger cities who have the flat
habit and who do not care for the
trouble and expense of keeping up an
entire house. The advantages of a two
or three story apartment house are
readily seen for the lower floors at
least would be habitable in summer
whereas a one-story house is usually
designed simply as a winter residence
The practice of letting contracts for
buildings. and especially public build
ings. was made the subject of a little
homily by a local architect last week.
1T is all very well,'' he said, from the
architects point of view, to get bids on
the work from outside points but the
public at large suffers by it. In many
of our large public buildings that are
now going up practically all of the
material used is brought from else
where when it could be obtained right
here. With the exception of some
stone work and concrete nearly every
thing is brought in. In addition to
this the contractor is not a resident of

Miss Reynolds ugly wounds were
inflicted by the claws of Louis, the

audience knew nothing OF the acct

they thought 1t was only part OF the

Gernany,s Mask Industry.

Consul T. H. Norton of Chemnitz
writes regarding Germany's mask In
dustry: There is AN extensive do
mand for masks throughout Germany
for the carnival season and other mer
rymalking occasions. In central Ger
many there are several large estab-
lishments devoted exclusively to man.
ufacturing this article, They net only
meet the neeGs OF Germany's trade but
also supply a very large demand from
foreign countries. The materials used
in mask making are chiefly pasteboard
and gauze, with small amounts OF silk
and wire. Each establishment EN-
plcys Its own artists, and there Is a
constant effort to place novelties on
the market. 1t is largely due to the
great variety of these novel designs
that promising trade with the United
States has grown up during recent
years. which Is reported to be stead
lily Increasing.

Concerning the numerous flstic
events in the saloons in Mt. Yer
non over Christmas the Mt. Vernon
Republican says: Numerous lights
occurred in various saloons and on
the streets Tuesday night ana
Wednesday. When the proprietor
of one saloon attempted to eject
boisterous young man from his
place the disturber kicked the
glass ont of the door. Another
Young nan walked into saloon

taken to iail, too drunk to stand

everyday occurrence. the wonder is.
not that the ono saloonv sentiment
is growing in ohio, but that 1t is
not overwhelming. ;,
