Court of Domestic Relations charged
with failure to support his five chill
dren. Prusek has just finished six

similar charge.
He won't work" walled Mrs.
Prusek, as she lined her five dwarf
children, Joe, John, Daniel, Mary and
Florence, ranging from to 16 years
old, before Municipal Judge Torrison.
Prusek said ridicule drove him from
his Job.
Its a case for the psychopathic
laboratory" Miss Isabel Carruthers,
a nurse connected with the court of
domestic relations, informed Judge
Torrison. This man and his wife
are Cretins. They never improve in
their mentality or in stature until
they are fed on the thyroid extract
from the glands of cattle
"Oh!" said Judge Torrison.
/. "Can you with thyroid extract
make this man grow big so he will
be able to hold his own and support
his five children"
Miss Carruthers was not sure about
that. but she was certain thyroid ex-
tract would improve Prusek's brain
The case was referred TO DR.. William

patio laboratory. He will make his
examination and report back to Judge

TOWER BUILDINGS IN
n. Y. MEAN HIGHER RENTS

NEW YORK. July 9.-That lower
buildings will mean higher rents is
the paradoxical statement made here
in connection with the proposal for
an ordinance to limit the height of
buildings in New York. This in
crease of rent. already the highest in
the country, would, is believed, run
into millions of dollars a year and
depopulate Greater New York by for
cling business and professional men
out of the city and by driving resi-
dents of Manhattan to adjoining sub
urban districts. In the proposal to
limit the height of buildings in the
future, New York sees not only a
threat to its commercial supremacy
but to the realization of its ambition
to be known as the largest city in the
world. One former member of the
assembly in commenting upon the
proposal to limit the height of build
ings. characterizes it as preposterous
and too ridiculous for serious consi-
deration. In discussing the sky-scra-
per as an economic institution he said
Il venture TO say that If we had no
buildings over twelve stories not 80
percent of the lawyers now located in
the center where the opportunities for
business are to be found could afford
