little idea to the novice until 1t il ex-

door and the front door both open
into the public hall, and the rooms
follow one after the other, like cara
on a railroad train. which accounts
for the expression railroad fat.

Is easily translated into no~n-elevator

type which may apply to any of the

they keep down rats. When they be-
