$459,436 OF AUTOS
 STOLEN IN MONTH
Uninsured Autos Not Included in List
 Which Puts Loss on Basis of $6,OOO, ,OOO Annually

New York, Oct. 1.-Two hundred
 and ninety-eight automobiles of an in-
 sured value of almost half million
 dollars were stolen in this city last
 month, according to statistics obtained
 yesterday by a reporter for The New
 York Times in canvass of automobile insurance companies.
 Officials of several of the companies explained that although the figures in- dicated that approximately $6,OOO, ,OOO worth of cars were stolen in the five boroughs in the year ending with Sep tember that these figures did not ac- count for thefts of uninsured machines roughly estimated to total one-sixth of all the cars reported stolen to the police. The statistics also revealed that con- pared with the same month in 1920 all most double the number of cars were stolen in the city last September, and that automobile thieves were becoming more select in their thefts, as the value of the cars stolen last month exceeded that of September in the preceding year | by $234, ,961.
 Persons operating automobiles ir ] Manhattan were the heavier sufferers Reports received by the insurance com panies for September showed that POI | insured cars had been stolen flem the streets and garages during the ecr1od against 113 in September, 1920 Brooklyn was next.in the number o1 | insured automobiles reported stolen last month, with a total of 69, an increase of 31 over those reported stolen in Sep. | tember, 1920 Twenty one insured cars | were reported stolen to the insurance
 companies in the Bronx during the same period, an increase of sixteen over the total for September of the preceding year. In Queens three machip1s were reported stolen last n,5lrtn, the same
 number as las- September. In Staten Island four cars were reported stolen, agains. an absence of such thefts for September, 1920.

AERIAL DWELLINGS
 PROMINENT IN N. Y.
Snug Cottages Built on Sky
 SCraperS Ideal Places

New York, Oct. IA snug little cottage on the roof of a downtown skyscraper, Battery park for front yard, a view over the >harbor, tower ing office buildings for next-door neighbors - such IS the up-to-date, dweller.
 The fashion is said to be spreading with such rapidity that the sight of a family washing out to dry some hun dreds of feet directly over the heads of the busy denizens of Wall street is looked for any day now.
 But, however it's popularity may grow by leaps and bounds, no one has ever insinuated that the innovation has come to combat the high cost of living or to be a simple, economical solution of the housing problem.
 In fact the contrary is the case and experimenters in the field of lit- eral high life'' boast that their new abodes represent a. step 'up"-both figurative and literal - from former dwelling places in palatia1 Riverside Drive or Upper Fifth avenue apart LlcuI nOuSeS where annual TSIIS are computed in sums of five figures.
 Among the most recent pioneers in the realm of aerial dwellings are Henry l.. Doherty, head of the Wall street banking house of that name Percy A Rockefeller, fnancier and Sir Ashley Sparks, head of the Cunard line in the United States.
 Of these the last two have fitted up ri ho1 o and half office-atop the new Cunard building at 25 Broadway, 22 stories above the noisy hustle of the most famous and the most congested thor oughfare in the world.
 Even more elaborate and extensive are the quarters of MT. Doherty on the roof of the 15-story Battery park building. Here the elderly bachelors bungalow covers the entire top of the large building, containing 16 rooms besides railways, porches, sun parlors and hurricane decks.'
 Here he lives alone with a retinue of servants, as isolated as if he wee in the heart of a primitive country. After the hush of night closes over the tip of Manhattan, wien a pedes- trian in the streets ..s rarity, the >aRly ssunds which penetrate to his aerie are the 1ow-voiced foghorns of craft plying rivers which enclose the battery on two sides and the harbor which lies beyond 1t.
 Besides reception, sleeping and drawing rooms. the bungalow" con- tains a gymnasium. handbaIl and squash court. billiard room and chem ical laboratory, in the last of which which it's master, who is also an in- eritor and scientist, spends many hours a week in experimentation.
 A feature of the apartment of which its owner Is particularly proud is the bed in his own living quarters which, by merely pressing an electric button may be made to move automatically through concealed opening in the wall to a sleeping porch outside.
 More than IS miles of telephone wire are said to have been used to install the apartments communica- ton system, which includes a port able transmitter and receiver which may be plugged in at any one of the half dozen or more contrivances with
