EARNED A SALARY BOOST
simple Idea Used I'm an Emergency
Fattened This Mans Pay
EnveOpe.


At time when the public was hearing
a great deal of new industrial combina-
uons,' one of the newly arrived captains
OF industry found himself in a western
city In extreme need OF communicat ting
with the New York end of his enterprise.
He had almost completed an ARRANGEMENT
FOR the consolidat ton of number OF west
ern enterprises, but in order to obtain final
authority he needed from New York II
became necessary to explain, by wire to his
partners, all he had done In the west
The situation permitted Of no delay, such
as would ensue should he write; and, to
make matters worse. he had no cipher code
For some time the financier racked his
brains to evolve some method whereby he
might communicate his information To his
associates In New York. but In such man
ner that II would be meaningless to any
one else. He could, however, think OF no
such method, and at last was forced TO
the conclusion that he must take the
chance Of sending the message In plain
English. Accordingly he drew up the
message and gave II to his confidential
man to send.
About half an hour later, when the CON
hdenual man again came in he was asked
whether he had forwarded the wire.
Yes sir" said the man; but not ex-
actly in the way you proposed. 1 rewrote
II; the first word on one company's blank,
the second on another companys blank
and so on. In that way l send half the
message by each company, neither half, of
course meaning anything to one not in
the secret Then / sent a second wire
by one-company reading;
Read messages together, alternating
Words"
Not long afterward the confidential man
was receiving larger salary.-Harper'
Weekly.

ing in $50 a month or $40 for the entire
floor. The large flats at $40 a month are
often vacant for several months at time.
There has not been vacancy in the small
flats since the building was built. Many
object lessons like this have proven con-
cluslvely that a building containing small
flats is better investment than a build
ing containing large flats.
The reason is plainly evident. People who
can afford to pay from $40 TO S75 a month
rent and have families which would re-
quire a large flat to accommodate them,
can usually finance the erection of a pri-
yate home and find 1t more desirable, since
flat is hardly the place TOR large fam
lily. People with small incomes. however,
and small families find that the flat meets
all Of their requirements, and, while they
could not afford to build home, they find
IL even cheaper to live in flat than TO
rent a detached house and furnish their
own heat. IL is the advice OF all real estate
men that flats should not contain more
than five rooms and four-room flats are
always the easiest to rent.

49, very much the same. A modern
nat building is a number OF homes placed
IN tiers, In the smallest amount of space
possible with comfort and convenience.
From an investment standpoint, flat
buildings are one OF the most profitable
Ihey are always easy TO keep rented. when
properly planned and located, and each
hat will bring in considerably larger IN
terest on the investment than a detached
house containing the same accommoda-
items. Any three-story flat build ng con-
tanning twelve apartments, the cost of the
lot foundation and roof is divided between
them There is also a considerable saw
ing in the cost of the plumbing; the bath
tubs and kitchens being lined up. requiring
but one sewer stack and one line of hot
and cold water pipes for three or more
flats. The heating of such a building Is
also more economical than the heating Of
as many individual homes as the building
contains flats. The item of laundry ex-
pense is also divided, for one laundry Will
do for six flats, each tenant having a day
IN the week on which to have the work
done
One very important matter TO consider
before erecting flat building is the selec-
ton of a GOOD location. People who live
In flats do 50 because Of its many con-
veniences Thoy are not the kind OF peo-
pie who will walk considerable distance
to car line, or put up with poor service
when they reach Z. II is therefore i'm.
portant that flat building should be
easily accessible to transportation facili-
ties. The best location for a flat buiIdins
is not I'm a neighborhood where a number
/ OF such buildings are already built. but in
a residence district containing homes
! costing from $500 TO $4,000, preferably
about one block from car line, away
from the noise and dust OF the passing
cars.
Flats should never be very large In fact
the smaller and more convenient they are
the better they rent. The writer knows of

It advocated the immedi- ate opening of the Alaskan coal lands and less interference in min ing matters in Alaska by the gov ernment.
