and English. There Is sprlnkling OF
North Americans, who represent some
thing like 80 different commercial In
terests In the United States. The
city's birth rate growth Of 1880 per
1000 inhabitants has been largely
augmented by constant flow Of Euro
pean immigration, while the death
rate of 205O5 per 1000 indicates the
healthy condition of the people.
Streets Afford Broad Contrasts.
Sac Paulo's streets are both ancient
and modern. The narrow and often
congested business thorougrfares con-
trast strikingly with the broad ave-
nues that cross the city and extend
through the newer suburban sections.
In the latter we find such an album
dance Of shade trees that one Is re-
minded Of Washington, while the large
number Of detached private residences
suggest Denver or Buffalo. In Sac
Paulo, too, we find types of the chalet,
the Moorish palace, the French Rem
naissance, and other features Of archl-
lecture more or less modified to suit
local conditions. The Tlete river,
passing through the northern sub
urbs Of Sac Paulo, is an extremely
crooked stream, and numerous afiiu-
ents flowing through the city in varl-
Gus directions seem to have influenced
the early builders and some Of the
Oldest streets are crooked or wind
ing.
The business heart Of the city, often
referred to as the triangle, is served
by active streets locally known as
ruas. Thus Rua Sac Prento, Rua
Qulnze de Novembro, and Rua Direita
are among the most important In the
so-called, triangle district. Overlook
ing the Largo do Palaelo, also in the
midst of business life, stands the gov
eminent palace. From this point
streets and avenues radlate to all
parts of the city and suburbs. In this
business area the city blocks are not
so regular or uniform as are the new
er sections Of Sac Paulo. The Aven-
Ida Tiradentes extends northward to
the Tiete: from the center of the city
the Avenida Rangel Pestana opens a
direct course to the eastward, passing
one Of the leading markets. Three
thoroughfares leading to the south
ward, Ruas Liberdade, Santo Amaro,
and Consolacao, provide direct &C
cess to the magnificent Avenida Paul
ista, by far the most beautiful boule-
ward Of the capital. The principal
business streets Of the city are paved
with asphalt and other materials, a
feature that has encouraged the use
Of motor vehicles of all descriptions.
uast year Sac Paulo imported more
automobiles than any other city Of
the country
The numerous parks Of the city re-
fleet large sums Of money that have
been expended in making them at
In numerous cases artificial
lakes, natural streams, rustic bridges,
statues, fine shade trees, and blooming
flowers offer attractions to citizen and
stranger alike.
Sac Paulo is a city Of wealth, In
iividual as well as official. Agricul-
ture and industry have made many
private fortunes, and these fortunes
are reflected in the unusual number Of
palatial homes in the city proper and
n the suburbs. No stranger can drive
about the city without noticing the vast |
amount Of capital and the diversified
talent that has been
called to provide for Sac Paulo's
wealthy residents.

COMFORT IN HEN
7 HOUSE REQUIRED
Prepare In Early Fall for Cold,
Disagreeable Weather When
Fowls Are Indoors.
ESSENTIAL FOR WINTER eggs
Fresh AIR, Dryness, Sunlight, and
Space Enough to Keep Chickens
contented Are Of Importance
Make Roof Watertlqht.

During the summer the poultry
house question has not given the poul-
try keeper much concern. The chick
ems have had the freedom Of outdoor
Nfe most Of the time and Just so they
had clean, airy place, free from
vermin, and covered with good root
to keep out rain, was about all that
was necessary. But as winter ap-
proaches and weather conditions are
such that the fowls must be confined
more, 1t is essential that their indoor
quarters be made as comfortable as
possible. This is one of the requisites
of winter egg production.
The prime essentials in poultry
houses, according to the United States
department Of agriculture, are fresh
air, dryness, sunlight and space enough
to keep the birds comfortable. The
particular style Of house is not i'm
portant, for house that gives salts
faction In the North will also give good
results in the South, but 1t Is prefer
able to have more open and conse-
Quently less expensive houses In the
South than In the North. The loca-
ton should have good water and air
drainage SO that the floor and yards
win be dry. while the house should not
occupy a low pocket or hollow In
which cold air settles. When 1t is
possible, a southern or southeastern
exposure should be selected, although
this is not essential II there is any
good reason for facing the house in a
different direction.
Importance OF Roof.
The roof is the most expensive but
a most important part Of the poultry
house, and should be water-tight.
Single roofs should have a one-third
pitch, while those covered with pa
per or metal may have less pitch,
or be almost fat; however, the great
er the slope the longer the life Of
the roof.
The shed or single-slope roof is
adapted to houses up to 16 feet in
width. It Is one Of the easiest styles
to construct. It allows high front
to the house, and furnishes a north
ern slope for the roof on which roofing
paper will last longer than on a roof
which faces the south. The combina-
ton and semimonitor roofs are adapt.
ed for buildings from 10 to "a feet
wide, while either Of these styles, or
the monitor and the gable roof, may
be used for wider buildings. The
combination roof on a house over 16
feet wide gives the best head room
at the least cost, reduces the amount
Of surplus air space, and gives a neat
appearance to the buildings; while the
semImonitor and monitor types are
best for wide houses which have a CEN
trail alley, particularly brooder houses.
The semImonitor house usually faces
south, while the monitor type Of roof
Is frequently used on buildings facing
east or west. The gable roof is used

NEW LEAGUE TO
HOLD MEETING
Newark Club May Not Get
Franchise in Interna-
tional After All.

New York. April Final ar
rangements for cementing together
the loosely formed organization OF
the new International League will
be made when the club owners
meet in Buffalo next Wednesday.
Although the makeup of the cir
cult was recently announced here,
ii now seems that the franchise has
not been actually granted to the
Neward club. James Price, formerly
president of the old Newark club,
of the International League, stated
today that although he had applied
for a berth in the new circuit he
was not altogether anxious about
getting it. It is believed that aft
er Price made a trip to Chicago
where he had a conference with H.
Clay Smith, hacker of the Newark
club, he lost his interest in the
project because Smith did not care
to go further with what had al
ways been a losing proposition.
Whether Newark is granted the
remaining franchise in the new In
ternational League, or not, thee
will be eight clubs, according to
John H. Farrell, president of the
new organization. There are three
other applicants, he stated. John
Whitman, well-known sportsman,
and basball enthusiast, of Reading.
Pa, has asked for a berth as we'll
as billie" Gibson, manager of the
lightweight champion, Benny Leo
nard, who wants to place a club in
the Bronx. 1t is not known where
the third applicant comes from.
There are, however, obstacles in the
way of granting either a franchise to
Newark or the Bronx. The old own
ers of the Newark CLUB owe Col
Charles H. Ebbets, president Of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, 5000. which ac-
cording to the baseball laws will have
to be paid before the franchise for
the city can be held by any other
parties.
Harry N. Hampstead and Col. Jacob
Rupert have something to say when
it comes to Gibson invading their ter
ritory or that part Of 1t which lies
beyond the Harlem river from the
Polo Grounds. The proposition has
been put up to them and they have
agreed to give Gibson an answer in
a few days. Billy has promised to
build his ball park as far from the
Polo Grounds as possible, but It is
doubtful whether the consent of New
York's major league club owners can
be secured.
At the Buffalo meeting many i'm
portant matters will come up for set
tlement. A committee which is now
working on a tentative schedule will
report at that time and the Job of
dividing up the playing days and plac-
ing the necessary number Of double
headers will be completed. n has
been decided to begin the season on

squad.
The scheduled trips to Lookout
Mountain. Signal Mountain and the
Piney Ridge booked for this morning

started after the liberty bond parade
yesterday just refused to let up in
any way, shape or form. Sight seeing
in this heavy downpour was not to
the liking Of the athletes and all vot-
cd the pullman to Atlanta the best
sight that had been witnessed in old
Tennessee.
Foxy Griff and Mike Finn had their
heads together in a long conference
this afternoon. Rumor fioated about
the Patten Hotel lobby that the Old
Fox was dickering for the purchase
Of Chuck McDanieIs, the star re-
ceiver of the Lookouts, but neither
Brigg or Mike Finn would deny or
affirm the question. McDaniels is at
present the only veteran catcher on
the I.ookouts staff and the chances
appear slim of the Nationals landing
him. Grin is not any too well forth
fed in having second-string players Of
major league caliber, and it Is a
known fact that he does not intend
to be caught mapping as he is at all
times attempting to fill in the spots
where injury or the national army
draft may punch through its tobag-
gan chains.
A story printed in one of the local
papers under an Atlanta date line
claims that the Old Fox was at
tempting to purchase the services of
Jake Munich. the Crackers first sacker.
but this wild fired rumor was denied
by the Old Fox today. Munich was
the leading hitter I'm the Southern
League last season and the release
figure quoted on him is far beyond
any price that the major league clubs
at present desire to take on minor
league stars.
