forced to use residences for busi-
ness purposes.
May Increase Prices.
Inability to construct buildings
higher than 110 feet in the busi-
ness section of the city will be a
serious damper to building con-
prevent supplying the increasing
demands for ONCE space. 1t also
will have the added effect OF in
creasing the prices of properties
that are put up.
Frank p. Milburn. Of Milburn,
Heister & Co.. local architects, says
he is strongly opposed to this ITO
foot restriction. He is also chair
man of the zoninig committee of the
Rotary Club, the other members Of
which are Arthur Carr, John l. New
bold. Leroy Heron. Charles A. Ham
NETT, Arthur d. Marks, ID. j. Gala
han. F. NJ. Fadeley, John Brewer,
William Clabaugh, F. w. Bolgiano
and James johnson. This commit
tee has been examining the severai
tentative maps that have been put
out by the commission, and plans
to appear before the zoning commits
sion at the public hearings this
week.
Costs High Now.
Building costs are so high now,
said Mr.. Milburn, that those who
contemplate putting up Office build
ings and other business structures
here hesitate to undertake them
with a 110-foot restriction on the
height. Tho reason for this is, he
said, that the return from a build
ing of this height would not pay a
fair profit on the money invested.
However, IL the height were raised
I two or three stories, il would be
possible to obtain this return. be-
cause thousands of feet of addi-
tioual Office space would be made
available.
1t is ridiculous. he continued, to
attempt to hold down buildings TO
such a height as the commission
proposed in a city with streets as
wide as those in Washington. Such
| a restriction would be proper in
cities with very narrow streets. but
! business development in Washing
| ton should not be stopped by such
| restrictions.

The thing that goes the farth-
est toward making life worth
while. That costs the least and
does the most, is just a pleasant
smile. The smile that bubbles
from the heart that loves his
fellow men. It's full of worth
and goodness, too. with manly
kindness blent. It's worth a mil
lion dollars and it doesn't cost q
cent. There is no room for sad
ness when we see a CHEEKY smile.
1t always has the same good

Joe Hurtig, the burlesque pro-
Queer. has again eclipsed his hest Ell
forts of the past in his new edition
Of The Bowery BurIesquers who will
be seen at the Majestic theatre next
Monday. Here is an evenly bal
anced production in which no one
department has been built up at the
expense of any other, but in which
a uniformity of excellence Is found
where everyone attempts to select a
spot to criticise. To begin with an
exceptional cast has been selected
with Billy Foster and Frank Har-
court, two well known and popular
comedians as the featured person
in their support will readily be rec
ognized by those who know bur-
lesque. In the list are Marty Sc
mon, Kittie Glasco, Dolly Sweet,
Libby Hart, Mallon and Wen and
Russell X. Hill, Loney Haskell. an
author with a humorous touch which
is admirably adapted to eurlesque
has written an ~up-to-date burlesque
entitled. Going Up and Coming
Down." which Is literally crowded
with situations productive Of conVul-
sive merriment; dialogue which IS
admirable food for laughter and
scenes and bits which never permit
the action to lag. The featured
comedians are cas- in the roles of two
a~viators who have no knowledge Of
aeronautics, but who are ~foolhardy
enough to attempt to fly around tho
world In a hundred and fifty minutes
on the chance of winning a $4,000
purse. Their exploits Yield fun
stimulent for several ordinary shows.
