NEW YoRK.-A snug little cottage
IN on the roof of downtown sky
scraper. Battery park for
front yard, a view over the harbor,
towering office buildings for next-door
neighbors-such Is the up-to-date, 1922
ideal home for the Manhattan dwelier.
The fashion is said to be spreading
with such rapidly 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 its 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 literal
''high life" boast that their new abodes
represent a step "up"-both figurative
and literal-from former dwelling
places in palatial Riverside drive or
upper Fifth avenue apartment houses,
where annual rents are computed IN
sums of five figures.

the World war.
In connection with this plan, the
constitution and bylaws Of the as
ISOLATION provide for twenty honorary

Marek was decorated at Moscow in
1915 by Gar Nicholas with the Royal
Cross of ST. George. In 1916 the
Polish Legion was conferred upon
him for exceptionally intelligent serv-
ice, and in 1918 General Hanin Of the
French army decorated him with the
Medaille Militaire for similar service.
President Masaryk of CzechoslOvakia
conferred the Cross of Honor upon
him at Prague in 1920.
The youthful warrior speaks broken

Homes on Top of Gotham Skyscrapers

Among the most recent pioneers I'D
the realm of aerial dwellings are
Henry L. Doherty, Percy A. Rookie
Teller and Sir Ashley Sparks. Or
these, the last two have fitted up
sumptuous apartments-half dwelling
and half office-atop a new building
on Broadway, % stories above the
noisy hustle Of the most famous ana
the most congested thoroughfare In
the world.
Even more elaborate and extensive
are the quarters Of Mr.. Doherty on
the roof of history building on Bat
terry park. Here the elderly bachelors
bungalow" covers the entire top OF
the large building. containing 10
rooms. besides Railways, porches. sun
parlors and hurricane decks"
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 a concealed opening In the
wall to sleeping porch outside.
More than sixteen miles of telephone
wire are said to have been used to In
stall the apartments communication
system, which includes a portable
rransmitter and receiver, which may
be plugged In at any one Of the half
dozen or more contrivances with which
each room and hallway is equipped.
The entrance of the apartment, at
the head of flight of stairs from the
fourteenth floor, is adorned by an
oaken frame with the legend "A. ID.
1929" and stone sill. both brought by
Mr.. Doherty from the home OF his
grandfather In Columbus, Ohio.
