L,AT is a heat or fuel producing
1 food which is very valuable in
cold weather for supplying the body
with heat and energy. Often foods
that are cooked in fat are termed
indigestible; this means that the
food is not utilized in the body and.
owing to some digestive disturb
ances, it becomes part of the waste.
Recent experiments tend to show
that animal fats are assimilated
fairly well; undoubtedly it is the
misuse Of fat that is used for fry
ing purposes that has given many
fried foods their bad reputation.
Every normal person requires a
certain amount Of fat.
Make it rule when serving
fried food to have an acid food,
either a vegetable or a TarniSh,
accompany the dish.
Here are just a few things to
keep in mind when planning to
serve fried foods. Use very small
quantities of foods that are cooked
in fat for people occupying scdcn-
tary positions, while those who are
employed in active or laborious
work may eat larger proportion.
Persons who are working at hard
. manual labor, out of doors, will be
able to assimilate daily portions of
fried food without any physical dis
turbanccs.
For digcstion's sake, learn to
serve:
Juice Of lemon with fried fish.
Apple sauce with pork or goose
:. Cranberry or currant jelly with
poultry, lamb or mutton.
Horseradish with beef.
1t is a curious thing that nature
demands these combinations to
equalize the fatty content Of the
meal. Save and classify the vari
Gus fats. and utilize each particula,
kind so that there need be no waste
Chop all bits of Suct fine and place
in a double boiler and then render
Chicken and pork fat may be
rendered in this way.
An excellent shortening tha, may
be used to replace butter in cooking
and baking may be made from
chicken fat, Of which there il
usually three or more ounces in one
fat bird. Remove the fat from the
bird and place in cold salt water fo'
one hour and then drain and cu
into small pieces. Render in ;
double boiler. Pour into jar an,

space, so that there are no columns
or architectural projections to shut off
light from the courtroom windows.
Interesting Courtroom Arrangements
zone of the features of the original
scheme about which architects and ex-
perts, both here and abroad, were most
enthusiastic was the grouping of the
courtrooms in units of two, each unit
being complete in itself and entirely
independent of the rest of the building,
though closely connected with it, thus
being as independent of and shut off
from the other courts, Offices and pub
llc passageways as though each unit
were housed in separate wing; each
courtroom has its own lawyers and
witnesses consultation rooms, it's
jury room and Justices robing room.
, with it's toilet.
From the vestibule, which serves
each unit, private passage runs paral-
lei to the courtroom and leads to the
vestibule serving the Justices robing
rooms and jury rooms. This enables
the justice to reach his room without
passing through the courtroom. By
means of this private corridor he can
pass entirely around the building if he
wishes to visit another courtroom or
justice. He can also use this passage
in going to and from his chambers,
which are on the upper floor and which
are reached by means of the Justices
private elecator. The jury rooms, one
of which is provided for each court
room, are also served by this corridor.
"One OF the greatest advantages of
the plan is the quiet it insures each
courtroom. The public going to the
courtrooms cross by the radially placed
passages from the central elevator cir
Gle to the courtroom vestibues which
serve each unit of the two courtrooms.
Only the portion of the public having
business with the particular courtroom

Nsh nave been Great Investment Instead Speculative Real Estate
Market Had Not Been for of the tnscrnuous Io1

1t Is the opinion Of Judge John R.
Davies of the Municipal Court that the
landlord who has advanced his rents
just because the price Of other things
has increased has done the real estate
market an unreasonable amount of
harm. He told the members Of the
Building Managers and Owners Asso-
citation the other evening at the Adver-
Using Club that of it were not for
these owners, instead of a speculative
we would have an investors market. u
Investors have been driven off, he said,
through fear Of the cry which has been
aimed at landlords generally because
of the vicious activities of a group of
INSCRIPTIONS men.
Judge Davies said that this type of
owner had brought odium on real es-
tate and called upon the building man
ayers and real estate interests to rid
their business Of the landlord who has
no claim to higher rent but boosted
them just because he can get more. He
said that the Bar Association ribs the
legal field of the unprincipled brother
and that the real estate men of repute
should protect their honorable business
or profession from the profiteer be-
cause he Is putting legitimate business
in very bad light.
The dignified verbal scorchinp adj
ministered both by Judge Davies and
magistrate Morris Koenig was cheered
by the building managers and building
owners who had come to hear the iu-
rists discuss the laws which pertain to
landlord and tenants.
Propagates Bolshevism
The profiteering landlord does not
mold the respect Of these judges. Thew
regard him as not of the best type Of
citizen because he spreads discomfort
ana indirectly propagates Bolshevism
lie destroys business, Is selfish and is
somewhat of conspirator.
Judge Davies has been on the munici-
pal court bench for twelve years and
most of the time in the judicial district
north of 10th Street.
Dark Lantern and Jimmy Methods
He said that he has had as manv as
1900 dispossess cases before him in
one year, and not more than a dozen
OF these resulted in tenants being
forced out on the street in the DAYS
when profteering landlords were not
in the saddle. He spoke Of the stand
taken by some Of these owners as "the
argument Of the man with a dark Ian
tern and jimmy"
When asked in court the reason for
a radical increase in rent their answer
was II can get more" or ut
wouH please me II the tenant would

30O.35. The loss of taxes and the in
terest on the money invested in the
land brings the total cost of the site
up to date $15,31O,OOO.
The locating of Collect Pond and
the time consumed in purchasing the
additional land permitted further dis
cussion of the circular courthouse plan
The objections of the justices were re-
vived. The Courthouse Board displayed
marked signs of being jealous of the
activities of the Municipal Art Com
mission and the city authorities in the
matter of providing new courthouse
for the city. The whole affair bordered
on public scandal, which had much to
do with changing the legislation, which
divided authority in the undertaking
and placed the entire project in the
hands of the Board of Estimate. This
was done last May, when Governor
Smith signed the amended measure.
Comptroller Craig then suggested the
appointment of a Courthouse Commit

The sixteen ear-oid plan for giving
New York City a courthouse was once
more brought up. Mr. Lowell, who had
earned 100000 when the jury of award
accepted his circular courthouse plan,
was asked to revise it. The financial
conditions of the city were explained
and the objections of the justices made
known to guide him in planning the
new STRUCTURE. Lewis E. Pitcher, State
Architect, was employed in an advisory
capacity, and together the architects
evolved the six-sided courthouse, of
which Comptroller Craig in his report
to the Board of Estimate yesterday
said:
"The new building planned is so To-
Gated on the land acquired that approx
imately rs per cent Of such land can
be salvaged and made available for
other purposes.
"The reduction in the cost of the
building and the salvaging of three
fourths of the real estate acquired have
been accomplished without sacrificing
or stlntlng in any respect the space re-
luired for judicial and clerical
purposes.
The courtrooms are in fact a trifie

for the circular building.

1af1''nan Bank to Spend Lot of Money Making Over
Fifth Avenue Home to Gain Much Needed Ra,L;n S

Inc hartman Bank building, at the
southeast corner of Fifth Avenue and
forty-tourth Street, one of the first
notable commercial structures to be
erected on Fifth Avenue north of
Forty-second Street. is to be made
over, that the banking space NAV be
increased and a more economical ar
rangement made possible. The bank
needs the room.
Since organized, eight years ago, the

enormously. Its depositors now num-

nave jumped from S4,100,00O to S32.-
100000 in the eight years the Harri-
man Bank has been doing business.
rms btslnss pressure has forced the
Dank to expand upward through the
building and eastward into the next
building.
Makeshift Additions Not Economical
Makeshift additions at best limit the
advantage of the extra space because
OF structural details which divide. or
rather isolate, the additions from the
main banking room. The alterations
to be made will consolidate the prem
lses Of the bank, besides modernizing
the structure.
The entrance to the building is to
be moved around on Fifth Avenue and
the entrance to the bank, now in the
center of the Fifth Avenue frontage. is
to be placed at the corner of the
structure.
The Greek Doric columns which have
been feature of the structure are to
be continued along the entire Forty
fourth Street side of the building. ac-
csording to the plans prepared BY John
Russell Pope. The exterior detail of
the lower floors on Forty-fourth Street
Win correspond with that on Fifth Ave

erected, and the same material is to
be used in the erection of the new
base on the Forty-fourth Street side
of the structure.

could be started They held out against
the circular structure for two years
before finally consenting. This was
four years ago.
About that time it was discovered
that the site selected for the building
was partly on the filled-in Collect
Pond foundation that was none too
substantial even for building of less
dimensions and weight than the great

The discovery of the subsurface con-
dition halted construction of the

property to the east could be secured
that the heavy structure might have a.
