Gain in Building

Board Directors and Renting
Agents Meet-Other Notes.

The thirty eighth week of 1918
shows large gain over the cor
responding week during 1912 in real
estate transfers. There was a total
of pol transactions, involving an ag-
gregate of S691,441, while the totals
for last year were les and $4,000.
Building permits also showed a
surprising gain. Eighty eight struc-
lures were started at cost of $223,-
381. while in the same week last year
there were rs and S76.557.
Cancellations were less in number
and amount being q and $27,3S9, as
against SO and $S7,144.
Mortgage and loan deeds were less,
which shows that the period had more
hard pressed persons last year. The
totals were SO and s115,584. as against
Sc and $179,099.

A number Of local renting agents
have adopted and signed resolutions
against the use of more than one
renting card on Atlanta houses. In
1910 certain agents agreed to this
rule, but some have departed from
the custom, and confusion has re-
suited. Hereafter the members who
are in the agreement will respect
cards previously placed, but this will
not keep more than one agent from
trying to rent the house. One card
may replace another on consent of
the owner.
Agents who do not enter the agree
ment will find the others competing
with them in the matter of signs or
cards, as in the past.
The meeting place Tuesday was in
the offices of the Charles p. Glover

Kelly presiding.

LUXURIOUS KITCHENS.
They Used Silver Lined Saucspans In
the Old Days In Rome.

While the housewife today prides
herself, and with reason, on the equip
ment and cOnveniences of her estab-
llshment she need not think that cen
turtles ago other women In other lands
were not equally well provided. In
deed the Kitchens Of Roman women
were much more luxuriously fitted out
than are most kitchens of today.
Now, In the days when the Roman
empire was at its height If you went
into the culinary department Of an ele-
CANT establishment you would find
saucepans lined with silver and pals
OF various description richly inaid
with arabesques In silver and shovels
that were handsomely and intricately
carved. Egg frames. too, that would
cook twenty eggs at once and pastry
molds shaped like shells and an in
finite assortment Of gridirons, frying
pans, cheese graters and tart dishes.
The toilet tables Of the Roman wo-
men were well supplied In the same
lavish fashion. Ivory combs, perfumes,
cosmetics, hairpins, even an elaborate
hair net OF gold, have been recently
unearthed. Safety pins, too, which
have for long time been considered
a strictly modern invention, could be
found on their tables But they had
no brushes nor any glass mirror. the
kind they used being Of silver or other
white metals.-Chicago Tribune.

RIVERS AND GREAT CITIES.
Wherein the Thames and London Are
Different From Others.

Wherein the Thames and London Are
Different From Others.
London without the Thames is un
thinkable Not only is it the source OF
the great wealth and trade of the
worlds metropolis, but it brings food
and drink to Its many millions. Yet
this Is not the case with other great
cities of the world whose rivers have
had little to do in the building of their
fame and position. In The River OF
London" Mr.. Hilaire Belloc points the
contrast:
Little sea borne traffic reaches Paris
by the Seine; the Tiber could never be
a street fer Rome: Vienna neglects the
Danube; Antwerp protects NO great
crossing nor has ever been the nucleus
Of state, and Rouen, the nearest par.
allel, was not the strategical pivot of
Normandy nor ever formed, as London
forms, chief fraction In the economic
power of its province. The two rivers
which are sacred to Lyons never fed
that town; the Rhone watered but did
not lead to Aries.
The towns of LOmbardy depend upon
the fertility of the Pc valley, but the
stream is nothing to their commerce
or to their political eminence, and Mi
Ian and Venice and Turin are independ-
ent of it, Saragossa was the mistress
of Aragon, but the Ebro did not make
Saragossa, and, as for Madrid, the
trickle which runs below Madrid is
best described in the story of the Span.
ish patriot who was dying of thirst
after battle. but upon being offered a
cup Of water said, Give 1t to the poor
Manzanares'-the river upon which
Madrid stands"

The old beliefs persist in southern
Europe, and a tragic comic instance
reaches me from Venice. A cockatoo
kept by British resident as a pet
had been accustomed TO promenade
about the roof garden when the fam
lily went up there. But one day re
Gently 1t extended its constitutional to
neighbor's roof and was promptly
shot by him. He subsequently offered
as complete explanation the plea
that he thought It was an owl and that
there was very young baby In his
household. Now, students of ancient
Greek and Roman augury know that
the perchlng Of an owl on the roof
foreboded death to one Of the inmates
while Ovid is among those who charge
screech owls with sucking the blood
Of infants.--London Express.
