the new regulation will not only come
under the close scrutiny OF the city
legal department but also receive at.
tention from the building inspector
and fire chief both officials being Wit
ally interested In the matter of regu-
lating the construction of buildings in
and outside OF the present fire limits.
A few minor amendments to those
sections dealing with the erection OF
tenements may be made before the
law Is passed to print.
Much attention is being given to the
new law calling for at least four hun
dred cubic feet of air space for each
dweller In a room.
Another matter for consideration
is a section which will prevent the
covering of the ceilings and walls of
rooms In tenements with paper or
cloth lining.
These materials are In the present
draft prohibited In the construction
and finishing of of the rooms in this
style Of structure.
The ordinance was to have been
brought before the whole board at
the meeting held at noon today but
Its great length precludes hasty ac-
tion by the city officials who are now
going into all its many details.

VII ASHINGTON.--H Uncle Sam want
w ed to go into the summer resort
business, now would be his golden op-
portunity. He has scores of chances
to acquire for q song hotel and resort
property OF great scenic beauty,
though possibly of little commercial
value, according to the agents boom
Ing them. Whether Uncle Sam Will
bite" will depend upon the national
forestry commission.
The efforts to sell are being made
under the Weeks Forestry law, other
wiss known as the Appalachian Forest
Reserve act. Last spring, when adj
vertisements were issued for land to be
purchased with the s11.000 900 appro-
priated by that Law, the rush began.
1t has continued since then until near

tain sections of the southeastern
states and New England has tried to
unload upon the government.
Already over 1000, 600 acres have
been offered for sale to the govern
ment, All OF this is not summer re
sort property. but a considerable pro-
portion OF it is. The resort property

Though the pessimist may scott,
To consider some poor Teller
Who's a hundred times worse OF.
If your finances are droppin'
In a dismal sort of way
And YOU owe five dollars
That you can't make out to pay.
While you may think you surely
Are the most f0rlorn OF mel
You're exactly twice as we'll OF
AS the Teller that owes ten.
When your clothes are gettin' shabby
And your friends begin to think
That you've hit the steep toboggan
And you're surely on the blink
When this autumn you are wearing
The same buds you wore last fall,
Just consider well the zulus
Who can have no clothes at all.
When you've got a jumping head
ache
And you think there amt no
chance
That you're going to live till norm
ing
And your nerves all seem to dance,
just consider some poor Teller
With sciatic rheumatic
Who's been laid up since last Christ
mas
And compare your woe with his.
No use kickin' on your troubles
You can't dodge them and / guess
That, while everybody has EN-,
Some have and some have
less.
You "a just defy dame Fortune
And her vaunted Chinese curse,
For 10 matter much what happens,
