IN REALTY CIRCLES

What can be done to give Atlanta
relief in the matter of broader. and
better graded streets and more paw
ing where it is badly needed?
Now that West Peachtree regrad.
ing is under way, people are suggest
ing that it would be as well to widen
the thoroughfare now, rather than be
faced with more intricate problems in
the hereafter. The widening of
Peachtree is also wanted, before big
buildings are built flush with the
sidewalk, and widening will cost ten
times as much few years hence.
well-known realty dealer de-
clared the other day that he favored
a $20,000,000 issue Of bonds, to be
paid by posterity when there is more
money than there is now. >This. he
said, would make Atlanta ship shape
and a place really worth living in.
Another dealer favored bonds, but he
was not so ambitious in the amount.
He asked for 100000, with which
he said the city could at least pave
it's streets.
This street question is a vexing
one" he declared. THE same ma
terial is called for in Western Heights
that is laid on Whitehall the differ
ence being that Whitehall gets as
phalt and Western Heights nothing
but promises. Council intends to do

the day never comes. Then why not
make temporary improvements at
one-tenth the cost rather than no i'm
provements at all?
"Cinders and gravel make a side
walk or street paving that is fairly
good for ordinary purposes and that
will last ten years. Maybe at the end
of the decade there will be money
enough for asphalt or macadam. and
in the meantime the citizens have had
the advantage of Improvements that
have enabled them to keep out of the
mud. A man who can't afford to
build a mansion dosen't go out and
sleep in the trees. He builds bunga-
low for $1,000 and lives in it ten years,
until he can have a more pretentious
house. The same principle should
work in city paving.
"As for grades, all the streets now
being worked should be fixed def
nitely and finally now. Under the
present scheme, a man builds his
house on a high lot and far back from
the sidewalk. His neighbor builds
on low lot and jam-up up to the
street. These things should be regu-
lated after a definite plan, and the
city would find that 1t had saved
hundreds of thousands of dollars and
much trouble after few years."

7oarteaa Office Buildings Worth
S6i0O,0OO-First Erected in
LarIy Nineties and Hurt Is Last.

With the completion of the Hurt
and Healey Buildings, Atlanta has a
oEyscraper total of IA and a total
value in the higher buildings of
$6,1O0,OO0 and an estimated aggre-
gate value of s1O,OOO,OOO in all kinds
OF Office buildings, big and little.
The Hurt Building is valued at
100000.
The Healey will be completed
about January l, at a cost of 5000 900.
and will be finished later to cover
the entire block bounded by Forsyth,
Walton, Broad and Poplar streets.
The Fourth National cost $500 900,
as did the Gambler Building.
The Empire Building cost half a
million, and the Equitable cost about
the same, or something less.
Cost of Bank Buildings.
The Atlanta National and the
Ihlrd National Bank Buildings cost
$3.50, 900 each.
The Grant Building cost 1926, 900,
and the Austell Building $4,000.

The Peters Building cost $120, 900.
The Steiner-Emery Building cost
$4,000, the Thrower Building $685. 900,
the Atlanta Trust Building 100000
and the Rhodes Building $4,000.
The Oldest Office building in Allan
ia is the Equitable Building, which
was constructed In the early nineties,
and failure was predicted for It.
Tenants soon filled it, however, and
at no time in Office building history
has there been any trouble filling
skyscrapers with tenants.
Another Skyscraper Due.
Application for permit to build
the Austell Building was made July
16, 1895, for the Empire Life Build
ing, May 5, 1897, and for the Grant

for the Empire Building was August
3, 1900, for the Atlanta National Bank
Building, October 30, 1901, for the
Fourth National Bank Building, Au-
gust 10, 1903, and for the Gambler
Building, August 9, 1904. The Third
National date was April s, 1910, the
Healey, October II, 1912, and the
Hurt, the same day.
Intense interest 'centers in an
nonncement of plans for the next
office building. There are several
sites under consideration and sew
eral parties figuring Inasmuch as it
requires a year or more to plan a
skyscraper, declaration of inten-

The average subdivision inside the
city limits is in a peculiar position.
Although a patt of the city, its pri-

for instance. In the beginning. Ansley
Park was the property of Edwin p.

HARRY LEWIS, 27 TODAY. is
AMONG RICHEST OF BOXERS

Harry Lewis, the veteran American
welterweight boxer, was born in New
York City twenty-seVen years ago to-
day, and during the ten years he has
been engaged in the fighting game he
has accumulated a snug fortune. In
fact although his ring showing has
been far from remarkable, he is prob
ably one of the wealthiest of boxers.
Harry whose real same is Henry
FISHERMAN, is a Jew, and his better
half, Sarah, is a capable and thrifty
manager.
In January, 1912, Lewis was injured
in an automobile collision, and brought
a suit against the London General
Omnibus Companies. He alleged that
he was seriously injured a result
driver and that he was deprived of a
profitable opportunity to defend his
title as welterw ght champion of the
world against Mike Gibbons. Harry
didn't bother to explain to the court
inst how and where he COPIED the
title. The hearing, which resulted in
an award of $3,75O damages. brought
out some Interesting statistics regard
ing Harry's domestic arrangement
and financial status. Mrs. Sarah told
the English justice that she was
Harry's banker, and that all of his
moneys were turned over to her and
deposited in a Philadelphia bank

FIRST AID TO The INJURED
BY DIR. I'll. HI. HARTUNG.
Copyright by HI. III. Hartung)

Among the most dangerous kinds of
accidents are those where persons are
cut in some part of the body and bleed.
The loss of a large amount of blood
oftimes results in the death of the
patient To know just what to do in
any kind of bleeding case is of great
Importance to every citizen
In today's instalment of the course
in first aid to the injured DR.. Hartung
tells what should be done while the
patient is waiting for the physician.
The lesson follows:
Bleeding.
There are three varieties of hemor-
rhages-arterial, venOus and capillary
ArterfaI bleeding is the most danger
Gus on account of the great amount
of blood which may escape in a snort
time In this form of hemorrhage the
blood Spurts from the artery with each
pulsation of the heart and is bright
red in color. In bleeding from the
veins the blood flows in a slow, STEADY
stream and the color is dark RED or
purple. In capillary bleeding the blood
oozes from the cut surface, and While
it is generally the least dangerous
form of bleeding, it sometimes may be
quite dangerous and difficult to con-
troll.
First of all. in all cases of severe or
dangerous bleeding, send Immediately
for a surgeon. In the meantime the
troll the hemorrhage:
The simplest method of stopping
any form of bleeding is by pressure.
This pressure may be applied in two
WAYS directly over the wound or
bleeding vessel, or if the bleeding is
very severe and cannot be controlled
by this method, then pressure should
be applied directly to the blood yes
sci which supplies tire bleeding part
and should always be applied between
the wound and the heart. Direct
pressure to the wound or bleeding
vessel may be applied by the fingers
or by means of a compress. AS
rule the most serious kinds of hem
orrhage can be stopped by this meth
cd.
The best way is to use a perfectly
clean cloth, or preferably, if handy, an
antiseptic compress. Apply tightly 10
wound and then bandage hr1nIy with
a roller or triangular bandage. If an
anitseptfc compress is not handy
piece of clean handkerchief or napkin
can be rendered sterile or antiseptfc
by putting it in a hot oven for five
minutes.
If the above mentioned falls to stop
bleeding, we can then apply pressure
directly upon the blood vessel which
supplies the part, always being sure
to apply pressure between the wound
and the heart. This method IS par
ticularly adapted to stop bleeding
from the upper and lower extremities,
the arms and legs.

severed, roll a towel about a bottle or
other hard, round substance, or tie
hard knot in a towel and crowd it
into the armpit. A roll of newspaper,
or stock of wood, or other hard sub
stance covered with Nantiseptic gauze
may be utilized. Then bring the
arm to the side and faSten firmly with
bandage. If the bleeding is in the
armpit, press the handle of a key or
similar article behind the collarbone,
directly upon the artery.
Palm of the hand-Ra ise' the arm
above the head. Bleeding can be con-
trolled by having the patient grasp
some small hard object, like a billiard
ball or smooth stone, covered with
antiseptic gauze. The pressure may
be made permanent by binding the
hand strongly While in this position.
Ffngers-Raise the arm above the
head, apply pressure to the hand or
wrist by binding with a cord or rub
Der band. No violent pressure is
needed.
Chest and abdomen-Pressure may
be applied only upon the wound itself.
If available, take a yard of surgical
gauze, crumple it up in the hands and
apply pressure until the surgeon ar
rives, or keep it in place by applying
a bandage around the body.
Thigh-Thigh wounds require
prompt attention. Pressure must be
made upon the inner surface Of the
thigh just below the groin, or where
the artery of the thigh comes on. of
the body. about two-thirds of the way
from the knee to the hip-joint. This
can be effected by the thumbs, a
rounded stick, or a key handle. An
artery may be controlled also by
placing in the groin knotted cloth,
or large round stone, doubling the
leg back the thigh, and pushing
it forward hard against the abdomen,
finally tying it there with a bandage.
Leg below the knee-Apply firm
pressure in the hollow just behind the
knee above the calf of the leg. This
can be effected by placing there
stick and doubling the leg back until
it presses hard against it.
Bleeding from the foot-Apply
pressure to the bleeding point or to
the arteries at the ankle joint.
