A recent report of the heights Of
buildings commission for the city of
New York gives the latest information
OH this serious matter of the dangers
Of uncontrolled heights Of buildings.
Among the reasons for the regulation
of heights of buildings are the follow
ing:
The preservation of the right to light
and air to all those who own or Oc-
cupy adjacent property.
AS a health provision, the existing
lack of regulation ultimately leading
to injury to health of thousands en-
ployed to work under intolerable con-
ditions Of artificial light and lack of
wholesome ventilation.
The concentration of property values
to the detriment of an average develop
ment Of the city as relates to building.
The fire risk. In fighting fires in
buildings Of great height the fire de-
partment is seriously handicapped, as
it's apparatus is effective for buildings
only 100 feet, or eight stories, high.
The elimination of congestion at rush
hours.

There Are Serious Dangers From Vary

The sky line Of the business district
Of Portland, Ore, continues to change
in marvellous fashion, says Ellis F. Law.
rence. an architect of that city. With
the advent Of the real %skyscraper
danger Of congestion and loss Of light
becomes apparent when the narrow
streets are considered. Portland is laid
out in such a manner that everything
possible should be done to prevent con-
gestion. The business center should
be spread out rather than condensed.

Napoleon Bonaparte had no more de-

Gaspard Monge, the illustrious acade-
mician and founder Of L'Ecole Poly

onstrated his regard by giving the
great general some unwelcomc advice.
Napoleon announced his intention of
reading a paper to the French insti-

approval of the plan.
"You have not time to write a good
paper, and you cannot afford to write
a poor one The eyes of the world are

Not every housewife realizes that she
can save herself IN immense amount
Of time and trouble on the big silver

Remember in the first place to wash
the silver as soon as possible after it
has been used. A wooden tub should.
be used for this purpose If you possess
such a thing. as then there will be little
danger of scratching the silver. Take
water as hot as the hand can bear, add
a few drops of. ammonia and enough

a nice lather.
