BUILDING In

There are at present three phases
of Denmark's building difficulties
land, materials and money. The land
question can probably be settled and al
so that Of materials, but a general ar
rangement of the financial question
must first be made. The cost Of build
ing has increased from $40 crowns per
square meter ($7.72 per square FOOT
to 720 crowns per square meter
($17.93 per square foot). This is dis
c%ouraging private initir we and cor
porations are now con- ing one-third
of the building enterprises in Copen-
hagen and the provincial cities. To
help these building corporations dur
ing the war, the government voted
81, 000. This was not sufficient,
and by a law passed February s. 1918.
provision was made to finance these
corporations and compensate them for
some of the extra expenses Of building.
All in all the state and municipalities
subsidize the building corporations to
the extent of 60 per cent Of the In
creased costs, which are 100 per cent,
so that the houses cost the corpora
ton 40 per cent more than before.

HER FIRST COFFEE CAKES
WHEY Didn't Know Much About Cock.
Ing. but Would Try Anything to
Please Hubby.

The little bride was having her first
adventures In the culinary line and 1t
was hard, as she had never been
taught the art Of cooking. The young
husband remarked one day how fond
he was OF coffee cake, the kind his
mother used to make, all fat with
raisins and spice and all things nice.
After his departure for the office,
the little bride looked through the
recipe. 1t looked easy you tool one
cake Of yeast,a pint Of boiled milk, so
u butter, sugar, etc. She decided
on a surprise for hubby at dinner that
night. The recipe. like many others,
was not definite; 1t left something for
older. wiser heads to know-for in
stance. that the yeast germ Is killed
If put in hot milk, and 1t did not say
to cool before adding the yeast
Therefore she mixed the ingredients
all at once. Throughout the day she
watched 1t. Each time she looked a
sullen mass greeted her eyes. 1t had
not risen any that she could see and
would not be ready for the evening
meal. She could, however, tell the
young husband Of her good intentions.
He was vitality interested and suggest
ed to wiley baking 1t later. and
having 1t with the morning coffee. A
neighbor, taken into consultation,
thought perhaps II had been chilled,
and suggested placing the bowl In hot
water, which was done.
Together. the young couple watched
II, but the stubborn disposition was
still with 1t. At twelve o'clock the
young husband lost patience and re-
tired, with the remark, "If II were
mine, I would throw the darned thing
In the garbage can" Not so the lit
tie bride; she had been reading too
much Of waste and conservation, so
she stayed up, sleepy though she was,
until 1 a. m, when she placed 1t in
the oven, hoping against hope that
the baking would bring out its good
qualities. At breakfast the coffee cake
was served. They tried to slice it,
they tried to hack II, but alas, all the
