TENEMENTS ERECTED
AFTER UNIQUE DESIGN
Structures on 44th Street,
New York, Considered Models
of Their Kind.

The model tenementS consisting OF
two five-story buildings of odd design
and connected by tWo-story link
which have just been completed on
West 44th street between 9th and 10th
avenues, New York city. embrace many
unusual features The buildings. which
were designed by Architect Grosvenor
Atterbury, have combined front of
ffty feet and include two units-a
front and a rear building. each twenty
nine feet deep, with extra large courts
in fact, SO per cent larger than are
required by law-between them. Both
units are of brick with steel beams re-
inforced by concrete floor construction
and have tile roof The buildings
have marble halls and double marble
staircases leading from a common wide
entrance. All the inside wood trim is
semi ha rdwood In natural finish with
hardwood floors, except in the halls
and bathrooms. The apartments are
lighted by electricity, have gas range
and steam heat as well as other mod
ern eonveniences heretofore utterly
unknown in that district.
In the cellar is special incinerating
plant for garbage and the heat pro-
duced in this process of garbage in
cineration is directed as an economic
by-product to heating water for the
tenants. The second floor of the con-
Meeting link between the front and
rear buildings serves the purpose of a
common assembly or reading room
for the tenants, with large Skylights
and windows and built-fn seats and
bookcases. On the ground floor of the
connecting link. as well as in the base
ment, are two perambulator rooms for
the baby carriages of the tenants, and
on the roof. in addition to the space
for drying laundry work, is chill
dren's playground. properly protected.
Every one in the neighborhood who
was asked in regard to the matter
when the buildings were about fin
ished had heard that no one would be
admitted as tenant unless there was
at least one child in the family and
that no family would be taken whose
weekly income exceeded $685. also that
a careful system of investigation of
the personal history and character of
all applicants was enforced which
made the process of application for
apartments in the new building "a
regular civil service to get in" The
building were erected by Mrs Cath
crime c. d. Rogers Of New York city.

BUNGALOWS IN SUBURBS.
Morgan Brothers Will Construct Six
Houses at Virginia Highlands.

In the suburbs of Washington 1t is easy
to find attractive houses of the more ex-
pensive type, but the well planned, ar
tistic house of small cost is an excep-
ton. The bungalow of Irving Grey. on
Willow avenue. Virginia Highlands, shows
well how by small expenditure an excep-
tionally attractive home may be built.
This coy cottage has back of the living
porch a living room which opens directly
into dining room in the rear, with side
bay window. A small kitchen adjoins
the dining room, with pantry, and a bath
is also located in the rear. which connects
with the bedroom and is in direct con-
nection with the kitchen. thus saving in
plumbing. There is also a cellar under
the entire house. and ample attic space
The house was built by Morgan Brothers

six bungalows to be constructed by the
same company.

TEACH HOW TO
RAISE MULES
UNCLE SAM WILL ENCOURAGE IN
DUsTRY IN THIS STATE WITH
EXPERIMENT STATION.

Jackson, Miss, May 17.-To encour-
age the breeding of mules in Missis-
sippi the United States government
soon is to establish at the Mississippi
experimental station at the A. and M.
college, at Starkville, series of mule
breeding experiments.
The mule, it has been said, has
mo pride of ancestry, and no hope of
posterity," but is an important fac
tor in the agricultural production of
this state. The Investigations are to
be undertaken to encourage a new
animal industry as to climate, cost
and sale on the market.
Mississippi is a large buyer OF
mules, in fact it is said that the peo-
pie of this state purchase annually
more mules than those Of any other
state in the union. The idea In insti
tuting the experiments is to encourage
Mississippi people to raise mules fol
local markets, and keep the money
now being spent for them at home.
The mule population of the United
States is four million, and a goodl!
proportion are in Mississippi.
Farmers throughout the state will
watch with interest the experiment
that will be conducted at the A. an
M. college, and it is believed they vii
result in many persons going into tn
business of raising mules for the mai
ket. Those in a position to know sa
that these animels can be raised wit
profit in this state.
