Plan A Apartments for Maximum
Of Comfort in Minimum Space
Architects of Twentieth Century Structures Strive to Give
N1ady the EXclusiveness of the Private Dwelling
in the Building Of Homes in Layers

Ask an architect to-day TO tell you
what are the innovations in a modern
apartment house and he will reply that
there are not any innovations.
mot any innovations!" YOU will ex-
claim why; It must be that a new
apartment house will have something
new or unheard of in IT,"
Improvements" the architect an
swers, "are developed. They are not in
novated. We believe In the tried and
true. The best minds of the architec-
tural world are to-day devoted to the
problem of housing a family In a great
city with minimum of space and a
maximum Of light and ventilation; "A
minimum of housekeeping cares and a
maximum of comfort; minimum OF
cost and maximum OF efficiency in the
operation OF the house, and certain re-

Yards are starting to burn brick. but
they cannot start to mould green brick
until the frost is out Of the ground.
Once brick has been moulded and dried
the manufacturers can protect ii against
frost. The manufacturers began to burn
the brick which they had on hand as
soon as the Government removed the
restrictions on coal.
The manufacturers are. however. pro-
ceedng very slowly and cautiously.
There Is feeling generally that the
price OF building materials is going to
drop. The manufacturer OF brick Is not
making any quantity of brick at high
costs OF coal and labor to sell It later
on In a falling market The manufac-
turers are now just keeping pace with
the demands OF the market.

BRICKMAKERS ARE
RESUMING WORK
Move Cautiously in Face of
High Prices and Shortage
Of Coal.
AMPLE SUPPLY IN CITY
Local Market Has Enough on
Hand to Meet Present
Requirements.

The brick industry, which entered the
land of Nod" when restrictions were
put upon the use of coal. Is struggling
into wakefulness. Yards which had
brick in kilns ready TO burn are slowly
resuming operations, but costs OF produc-
ton and the condition of the market
are not very stimulating.
Normally there are burned in the
Hudson River Valley for the New York
market about l,400,000,000 common
brick per season. 1t takes one pound
OF coal to burn one pound OF Portland
cement, one ton of coal to burn from
5000 to 1000 common brick and one
ton of coal to burn 1000 face brick.
Due to the war situation there
was no coal delivered to the brick
yards of the Hudson VALLEY for nearly
twelve months, or until November last.
The output during the season was less
than 10 per cent. OF normal.
A small percentage OF brick was turned
out through tho use OF wood fuel. but
the coal situation affected the brick In
dustry seriously. The Government urged
that hollow tile be substituted and 1t
was. but brick as building material
holds a position Of Importance ranking
with steel. cement and lumber. Quo
tations on cement and heating plants
show a slight break but not 80 with
brick. The cost OF production has not
declined. Especially is this true OF the
price OF coal, an element which enters
very largely into the price Of brick.
Raritan Brick Scarce.
1t is pointed out by Larremore v. v.
Sweezy. chairman OF the bulletin COM
mttee of the Brooklyn Chapter OF the
American Institute of Architects. that
no Raritan brick has come to the New
York market in eighteen months, except a
few face brick which havs been brought
in on trucks. The transportation stu
alton Is responsible for this. The barge
owner Is not seeking cargoes OF brick
because OF the amount of time required
in loading. Time and labor are held
to be worth twice as much as in the
pre-war days. The use OF trucks has
been resorted to in the transportation OF
brick where architects and builders had
| to have the material. The actual cost
| Of shipment of brick on trucks has been
| found to be upward of $3.50 per thou
| sand.
| The price OF brick delivered to a
| job in New York to-day is sl7.I5 rer
| thousand. In 1913 and 1914 brick was
delivered at the job and put into the
wall with the necessary cement, NOR
| tar and labor included, at about SIS
per thousand. The price of brick deliN-
| cred at the sidewalk to-day is practically
| the same as il used to be when all OPP
erations OF laying the wall we're COM
| pleted.
While brick 80 NOT being delivered
! in any quantities there appears to be
a supply in the New York market ample
to meet present requirements. The price
is we'll sustained. due 10 the fact that
brick concerns cannot afford to lower 1t

SO far us periodlcity Of outbreaks is
concerned, the real locust or grass
hopper Is a law unto itself. The hOrdes
may appear any years or not at all.
Tie hordesI Of the "17-year locust" or
periodical cicada appear with a regu-
larity that would almost put to shame

extremely slow development under
ground, the multiplied millions of in

are of the 17-year race. There is a 13-

it is just a. regular, just as exactly on
schedule, as the other ono.

militant. It's hordes, like those Of Atil-

destroying as they go. The so-called
17-year locust or cicada is a home
body. ~Stevenson's lovable character,
"Will o. the MILL" did not stick so
closely to his birthplace us does the
periodical cicada. Literally, he abides
always "under his own vine and fig
tree" The tree from which any in
dividual cicada dropped as n newly
Matched lurva II years g is the ex-
act tree under which he will emerge
this spring, up which he will most
likely crawl to east his pupal skin. and
in which he will meet his mate and
sing his love song, In which he will
pass his days of decrepitude, and from
which, in a few weeks, his dead body
will fall. almost upon the spot where
he-as n larva-fell II years before
and burrOwed into the ground. Where
the periodical cicada came into exist
ence. there he spends his days and
dies.
Injury by Insects.
Every crop suffers from the rnvages
of the real locust. Only trees suffer
ut all from the 17-year locust, and
only very young fruit and ornamental
trees are likely to be severely injured.
Methods of preventing Or minimizing
this loss have been worked out and
published by the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
The insect itself can accomplish
comparatively little damage, but fear
Of the insect may accomplish n great
deal, particularly If it is based upon
a confusion of the cicada-locust with
the neutrality-suspicious.. Men, believing
that the grasshOppers are to eat up
their crops this spring. might refrain
from planting certain things. 1t is
important, therefore, that the confu-
sion be cleared up, that it be definitely
understood by everybody that "the IL
year locust in 1919" means the periodi-
cal cicada and not hordes Of grass
choppers.

results have justified the rapidly in
%'creasing acreage.
The United States must not only in
crease sugar production for domestic
needs, but must ship an increased
quantity to the allies. Every effort
should be made this year to stimulate
production of substitutes for sugar. In
localities where sweet clover is grow
ing abundantly, city, county, and rail-
way officials are asked to cooperate
with beekeepers and see that all WELL
known nectar-producing plants, and es-
pecially sweet clover, are not cut until
after the blooming period. This plan
was practiced In ut least one locality
last year with gratifying results, and
it is hoped that all sweet clover grow
ing within a mile Of colonies of bees
will be permitted to stand until after
the blooming period this year.
Sweet clover lot only produces an
abundant flow Of nectar Over a long
period but does not begin to bloom un-
til the white clover and alsike clover
nectar flowing is nearly over, thus
when few nectar-producing plants are
in bloom. Owners of bees are advised
to make every effort to bring the i'm
portance Of sweet clover to the atten-
ton of officials in charge Of moving
plants in vacant lots along r%oadsides,
and along the rights-of-way of rail-
ways, and to endearor to have the
moving of such pieces where sweet
clover Is growing delayed until the
Towering period il past. BY hearty CO
operation to this end, the department
says. the production Of honey can b.

This is a 'locust year. and the
usual popular fear and misapprehen-
sion attend.
People in that large part Of the

cal cicada will appear are disposed,
Us always, to apprehend greater dam

greater. OF the remainder of the
United States, large sections are under.
another misrepresentation, which is that
the insect about to appear is the real
locust that sometimes comes in dew
astating hordes, sweeping across
large sections of country and devour-
Ing every green thing. The latter mis-
apprehension is, perhaps, the more
widespread and disquieting, according
to e~ntOmologists of; the United States
department Of agriculture. People who
have had experience with the real To-
Gust and the ruin it works never forget,
and the word locust" ever though
1t be II misnOmer. is likely to be u
signal for dread.
Now, the periodical cicada, COM
monty called the 17-year locust-the
insect that will appear in 2~1sstates
this spring-is not IL locust at all. 1t
is Il cicada, member Of the family Of
cicatlidae and akin to the dOg-day
cicada, harvest fly, or ~dry-weather fly.
The real lOcuSt-the devastating kind
lis Il grasshOpper.
The periodical cicada, miscalled To-
Gust, is strictly an American. insect.
The real locust, commonly called grass
hopper, occurs in many parts of the
world and has had it's place in history
for thousands of years. There are
many species. The s]chistocerca pere-
grina is the. one that plagued the Egyp-
tians and probably the II on which
John the Baptist fed. The one that
has sometimes ravaged the great plains
and other sections Of the United States
is the ~melanoplus spretus, a related
species.
Have little in Common.
The real locust or grasshopper and
the sO-cnllcd ;ocust or periodical cicada
have very little in communicating,
IN fact, except that both occur in large
numbers and both occasionally have
been used az; human food, the former
mostly by certain peoples Of the neal
last and thc latter by the American
Indians.
The real lOcIst is an indiscriminate
eater, grain fields, corn fields. mead

thing falls before him. The periodical
cicada or so-cnlled locust is dainty al
most beyond belief. 1t was long be-
lieved that this insect in the adult
stage tool no nolirishment ut all. On
rare occasions 1t had been observed
with its beai apparently thrust into
twigs. but it was not until II years
