A new wey of washing
2ou just soak 1our clothes clean
instead Of THE aid ,ubbing and boiling
s.

All you have to do is to take them
out and rinse them!
And they are snowy white and
clean. Only few very soiled
places, like cuff edges, need light
rubbing between your hands.
That is what RINSO is doing for
thousands of women who have al
ready secured it. 1t has changed
their whole way of washing.
And those same women felt as you
now feel, when they first heard of
RINSO'S wonderful results - they
couldn't believe it!
And now they are. like Mrs. Terry
whose letter is given here-they have
found that the old way of washing
is gone-and that the new RINSO
way of soaking your clothes clean
has entirely eliminated the hardest
work a housewife has to do-wash-
day boiling and rubbing.
Use RINSO yourself this week-see how
it really soaks your clothes clean-see if
you don't feel just as enthusiastic as Mrs.
Terry does.
Get RINSO today from your grocer, and
follow the simple directions on the pack
age. Lever Bros. Co., Cambridge, Mass.

Any doubt of the success of the plan

first favorable announcement was made
last winter that this trade would leave
Fifth Avenue locations Close to sew

Seventh Avenue from Thirty sixth TO

Germs among the leaders in the garment
trade tha have Sn a1Teaay signed for big space
100000 square feet. The buildings
are to be owned by these tenants.
They will be erected at the north
west and southwest corners of Seventh
Avenue and Thirty seventh Street.
Excavations are now being made for
TIE foundations for the buildings, which
will be seventeen and twenty-four
stories high. The south building will
be the taller and the larger in point
of area. The north building will be
seventeen stories. This structure will

Mack Hammer who has been one of

be installed to make them model work

buildings. Thirty eight high speed

to the shipping floor, and rubbish and

Little Plot That a
Hat Would Cover
Neighbor of Prop
critics Each Worth
Many Millions; Real
Estate Freak Left
by Rearrangemen
of City Streets

Although most folks know that the
highestpriced corner in all New York
is either that Of j. P. Morgan & Co.
or the location Of the monumental
structure of the Bankers Trust Com
pany, diagonally opposite, few can
name the lowest valued corner in this
city of great values. 1t is singular
that properties which represent the
extremes in value and business i'm
portance should be comparatively close
together.
New York's lowest-priced corner is
actually within the shadows of struc-
tural giants that represent investments
of millions of dollars in land and build
ings. The great s2S,0OO,00O Municipal
building is close neighbor of the
$50 corner, which is the value Richard
Delehanty, of the Tax Department, has
placed on it. Folks in the Woolworth
Building can see the $50 corner, and
from the corner may be seen the tower
ing City Investing. Singer and Equi-
table structures whose values range
drom $4,000 ,oCo to $26.o0o,o00.
4 Hat Would Cover 1t
New York's $50 corner is at tho
junction of Madison Street and New
Bowcry, and while it has less value
than any other corner in the city, it

Madison Street, l foot 3 inches on
New Bowery. and l foot along the
rear line. The little parcel is at the
southeast corner of the two streets
and forms the apex of triangular
block. A size ~ straw hat would
practically cover it. and baby could
not stand upright on the corner and
still not lap over on Father Kncker-
bocker's street property.
A frame and glass Vestibule to a
Greek hotel on the adjoining property
covers the corner. 1t is so small that
1t cannot be used for any purpose, yet
it is distinct and separate parcel
on the tax maps of the city and is
valued apart from the property adjcin-
ing. which is owned by L. Letferts, of
Brooklyn. Mr.. Letferts also owns New
York's smallest and lowest priced cor
ner. 1t is doubtful if he would sell
1t, despite the fact that no Improvement
could be made on it that would affect
his adjoining building and not overlap
the streets of the city. MIR. Delehanty.

smallest corner. 1t has been the tiniest

Houses of Employees
Outcome of Development
New Location of Arbor Press
Has Resulted in Fine Home
COLONY at Arbor Heath

A new home development at Arbor
Heath residential colony on the Bos-
ton Post Road at Sound Beach Avenue,
between Greenwich and Stamford, has
been developed by Douglas c. McMur-
tre. president of the Arbor Press, who
found serious shortage of homes for
employees when he moved his business
from this city to Greenwich.
Four types of houses are being built,
ranging from bungalow for 81 900 to
colonial or English type of house for
100000. The houses are designed by
Mckim, Mead & White. architects. The
landscape and town planning is being
looked after by G. n. Lowre, and the
general contractors arc the Hegeman-
Harris Company. One side Of the prop
erty is bounded by Laddin's Rock Park
large private park, with lakes and
other features. The property is
reached by trolley from the Sound
Beach and Stamford railway stations
and is within committing distance of
this city. Leslie f. Smith, at STAN
ford, is the sales representative.

least 10 per cent of the net earnings
be set aside for reserve fund until
an amount equal to 80 per cent Of
the capital stock is accumulated.
The rights of stockholders are also
in this law carefully protected. II
the first place, every stakeholder is
given one vote regardless of the
amount of stock held This permits
democratic control Of any housing
corporation by those directly affected
by the policies of management
an the second place. it is provided
that dividends be paid not according
to the amount of stock held, but &C
cording to services performed, which
in this case would apply to the rents
paid. A further protection is giver
to the members by the provision which
limits interest on either capital or in
debtedness TO per cent.
State Ready to Help Co0pcrators
"Since in cooperative housing CO.
operators not only have an investment
but also live under the conditions i'm
posed, it is doubly necessary that they
MAINTAIN democratic control of the pol
lcles of management and operation. If
such groups incorporate under the CO.
operative laws of New York State such
control is assured. This Incorporation
may be accomplished by any group
through the usual legal methods. The
Bureau of Cooperative Associations of
the State Department of Farms and
Markets, 90 West Broadway. is, how
ever, empowered by law to assist and
advise any such group in organizing
and incorporating. Through this Office
it is possible to secure free, not only
advice, but the papers and blanks nee
essary for Incorporation.
This state bureau is further en-
powered to see to the proper enforce
ment of the cooperative laws. These
laws are designed to protect the public
from the improper use Of the word
cooperative for the purpose of gain
ing popular support for a purely bust
ness adventure. They prohibit any in
dividual, partnership or firm organized
other than according to the coopera
tive laws from using in its name the
word cooperative or any derivation
thereof. The violation of this prov
sion is by law misdemeanor and is
punishable by fine of not more than
$500, or imprisonment for not more
than one year, or bv both such fine
and imprisonment.
''In the light of this provision. it is
desirable that any group or individual
Intending to incorporate on the CO.
operative principle confer with the Blu
reau of Cooperative Associations as to
its plan of procedure"
