provide for. 1t had no prisons. no
poorhouses, no hospitals. nor any of
the many other public institutions

city. And, furthermore, it was not

The population, nevertheless. was a
most exacting one and in this respect
Skyscraper City was unlike the aver

These we're some Of the annoyances
that had wearied Skyscraper City's
chief magistrate. Even while he sat
back in his chair, gazing at the CELL

Now here is where the similarity

A search for a child's short story,

persistent city shopper the thought

All the stores in this city" are To-
Gated in Main street--nothing unusual
for municipalities of its size. In one
particular case this street Is more
than three hundred feet in length, and
is traversed daily by thousands OF
people More than twelve hundred
residences are located in this city
each being labelled on the front door
with the name of the inhabitant and
his business. These residences are
specifically termed Offices, and each
one is visited a number of times dur
ing the day by the pOstman. or
course, it would take one postman
good many hours to cover the entire
route of the city" Consequently the
streets are divided into territories. so
Skyscraper City may be said to
have its own postoffice department.
In this particular city" one street Is
inhabitated by more than seven hun
dred people. This "city" has forty
one streets. the entire population be-
ing more than ten thousand.
There is one thing in this same city
Of which the inhabitants may well be
proud. 1t is the transportation sys-
tenn. 1t consists of twenty-three ele-
vetors, the combined capacity being
al out ten thousand people an hour.
Transportation in these cases is both
quick and safe. There Is no mortal.
ity in connection with this transit
system. An elevator in one of the
latest Of New York's skscraper mu.
inequalities travels 548 feet into the
air, all the way up to the fortieth
street, and this without the incon.
venience of changing cars.
So the immense building operations
of the times are surrounding residents
of real cities with these twentieth
century municipalities, with all the
officers and laws. in different form,
of a regularly chartered city. There
is nothing missing, not even the ia.
cilities for travelling home from work.
without leaving the confines of the
buildings, for some of these skyscrap.
ers have private entrances to subway
and elevated lines. And all must not
necessarily be work here any more
than in any other city. If the inhabi-
tants of this modern institution wish
to take recreation some Skyscraper
cities afford an opportunity by hav.
ing palm gardens laid out on the roof.

ship subsidy BILL
MAY Die QUIETLY
(Bv Associated PreSS.)

Washington, Feb. 21.-The admins
tration ship subsidy bill may be per-
mitted to die a quiet and orderly
death. After being threshed out in
committee some days ago with such
haste as to subject it's proponents to
the charge of "railroading" the meas
ure, the bill is still pending in the
house.
Such criticism has been aroused
from various parts of the country, it
is stated, that many members who are
committed to ship subsidy are now
hoping that it will not be brought to
vote A quiet canvass is being
made to find out whether there are
enough votes to pass the Humphrey
bill.
If it develops that there are not
enough votes the bill will be allowed
to quietly expire in it's present status.
