forty-eight one and two family houses
and also row OF high class flathouses
with stores. Ground for these houses was
broken recently, and Mr.. DAILY expects to
have this big undertaking completed by
the fall OF 1914. The two-family houses
are thirteen room structures. All the
structures are built TO sell
The houses are being built in the sec

No. 49, Mr.. Daily has been active in this
section for ten years, and In that time he
has put up over three hundred houses.
His success is unquestionably due to the

substantial way in which his houses are
put up and the attractive terms on which
he disposes of his building wares 10 home
seekers.

THE GROWTH OF CORONA
Development One of Brightest
Building Records.
ACTIVITY OF A BUILDER
Thomas Daily Has Erected Over
800 Houses in the Section
in Last Ten Years.

The growth of Corona within recent
wears has been, one Of the brightest feat
ures OF the building record of the Bor-
ough of Queens. And the expansion OF
thc residential strength OF this beautiful
suburban town, with many historic as
sociations. has not been the result OF
boom methods. II has however, oeen
based on necessary speculative activities
improved rapid transit service. especially
the operation OF electric trains OF the
Long Island Railroad TO the Pennsylvania
terminal, has been one Of the principal
factors in this unusually active building
operation.
Corona has all the charms of many not
able New England towns, and yet pos
sesses every city convenience, with room
for larger growth along the same sub
stantial building lines.
A casual inspection of this hustling sub
urban place will quickly reveal some OF
it's most salient charms. On all sides will
, be seen large cottages, set well back from
the street and occupying spacious grounds
beautifully laid out. Most OF the new
streets follow the course Of the old IA
avenues anu ldiltS VI AAiN hO"tA
when Washington had, according TO some
authenticated records, his headquarters
there in the Revolutionary days.
Many OF the villa sites Of Corona are
bordered by splendidly kept hedges.
Owing to its rapid growth the town has
recently had to have its school facilities
enlarged. A modern school structure is
MOI haft l,tsft,
nue. and 43d street Besides excellent
public schools Corona has splendid pri-
vate institutions of learning, its parochial
schools being far famed.
Moreover. Corona has fourishing
churches or all denominations, and some
of the churches are considering plans for
new houses Of worship. The social side is
not lacking either. as there are some
strong and popular social associations
and civic organizations.
The city for long time paid little at
tenton 10 the needs Of Corona as regards
streets and other improvements. OF late
years its attitude toward the place has
been just the contrary.
All the city officials are awake TO the
fact that the town has added millions OF
taxable assets 10 the city I'm the last five
or ten years, and that in return the town
should receive every consideration In the
way OF necessary public improvements.
The Public Works Department has al
ready begun the changing OF many thor
oughfares In the town from dirt roads 10
asphalted or concrete highways. Jackson
avenue throughout its entire length at
this point Is to be made into public
street alluring TO Automobiles, and
therefore all kinds Of vehicuar traffic.
An idea OF the rapid growth Of Corona
may be had from the fact that Thomas

Yet there was something about
her that drew me to her. l had a

While 1 fooled with the idea, a
man came in, dressed not any better
than the other habitues, but you
could spot him for a "holier than
thou" at the go in. He was one of
those reformers who make reform an
excuse to stick their noses into all
the filth that exists. -
"'He looked around the room
slowly and then singled out the girl
who was drinking the straight whis-
ky, and sat down at her table. 3d..
She never raised her eyes, but
her mouth curled insolently, as she
listened to his chatter, then suddenly
she sprang up and laughed.
"'God! What a laugh! 1t send cold
chills down my back.

''here's something let loose that
