 Hot Cocoa is being served at noon, at 8 cents per cup, in the Center, East Canaan and Canaan Valley. Schools. "
 In the Center School the high School glrlS are preparing ana serV- ing the cocoa in a most efficient man. ner. In the other schools the older girls are ably carrying on the work under the direction of the teachers.
 Many of the children carry lunches during the winter months. The addition of something warm and nutritious is not only beneficial physically anl mentally, but offers opportunity for instruction and training in right food habits. The leading authorities on nutrition say, that one of the factors entering largely into the problem of mental retardition of school children is due to wrong food habits.
 Growing children need food which contains plenty of the right sort of material to build up and repair the living tissues of the body.
 Milk, cereals, vegetables and fruit, to which is added some eggs or meat; including fish or fowl, are the foods that supply the substances for the best growth and development of the child.

Forest Fire Causes

ating from defective wiring is
discarded. Mr.. Brown was unable
to say in what manner the fire
started. ~
Drew, who is an employee of the
True and Blanchard Co, Inc. i'm
mediately rushed to a phone TO
summon aid. That firm responded
with a truck, and hand chemicals,
manned by five men. Until the
fire truck arrived from the Wilson
farm, the True and Blanchard em-
ployees rendered splendid service.
The firm of Carr and Blodah, en-
gagged in a plumbing job not far
away, responded to the need of
help with a truck and four men.
Meighbors turned out to second
the efforts of these men and the
regular fire fighting force of the
city department.
Water was carried from Lake
Memphremagog a quarter OF a
mile away to quench the flames.
Aided by a favorable wind It was
possible to save the house al
though it was utterly out of the
question to save the barn. A
steady stream of water and chem
ieals was poured at the iGncture
of the barn and house so that the
path of the creeping flames was
checked.
All the furniture in the hoasc
was carried out and then carried
back, when it was seen that the
dwelling would be saved. Neigh
bors were especially kind in offer
ing their aid.
The most of the stock was re-
moved from the barn, with the
exception of eight calves which
persisted. A large hog was 1riven
out of its pen, but in the confusion
returped, and was burned to
death.
There were two silos filled with
ensilage within the large barn.
When the barn and the silos were
completely destroyed the green en-
silage still remained standing 25
feet in the air, much after the
manner of hay stacks. 1t is be-
lieved that the ensilage was not
damaged by the fle.
The damage caused by the fire
at the Brown farm is fairly well
covered by insurance.

who have designed the largest apart
ment house operations in Brooklyn, take
exception to these charges. They af-
firm that simplicity of style on the ex-
terror is necessary and more desirable.
They also maintain that the interior
finish and appointments of the newest
houses are superior TO the older houses
and are decidedly more sanitary ana
modern, hence more desirable. These
advantages. they say, make the tenants
more cheerful about paying higher
rents.
The most expensive apartment house
operations are in the vicinity Of Pros
pee. Park. The cheaper types arc going
up in the Borough Park, Bath Beach
and Brownsville sections. The bulk OF
the one and two family dwellings is
found in the Flatlands. East New York,
Coney Island and Borough Park sections.
Two elevator apartment houses are go
Ing up In the Park Slope district, one
at Prospect Park West and Third street
and the other at Eighth avenue and

MORE GARDEN CITY

Nassau county. l.. l., Is getting It's full

The wave OF home building that has
swept The Bronx since the period of tax

in the outlying boroughs, where moder-
ate priced houses, to which the exenlp-
tion applies, are usually erected. Mr..
Kleinert, however, entertains rather pes
simistic notions as to the benefit which
tax exemption Is working in behalf OF
the buyers or rent payers of modest
means. He assured a representative
OF THE New YORK HERALD that with his
the speculative builder of to-day is not
passing along the saving from tax ex-
emption, but is rather charging such
high rents in his new apartments that
he is able to double his investment In
his houses above the first mortgage In a
period of about five years.
Mr.. kleinert admitted. however, that
while this is a trying time for the rent
payer. more and more houses are being
built and If construction keeps up at the
present rate for five years the demand
for renting or living space will be pretty
well supplied. Such situation, he ad-
mitted, would have only one result,
lower rents. In Brooklyn It Is no un-
common thing to see apartment houses
going up with rents advertised anywhere
from $25 to $40 a room. These houses
before the war ranged from IS to s15 q
room. As In the case of the Bronx, there
seem to be enough Brooklynites or 9TH
ers willing to pay these excessive rents.
SO the builders have little or no trouble
in filling the houses as soon as they arr
built.
Assuming that most OF the new ten
ants were living In other and perhaps
The New York herald., 1921-09-18

/, cheaper and less desirable houses, their
removal to the new houses brings about
vacancies in the older houses. In this
way, experts calculate, the pressure
which has existed in the class of mod
crate priced apartments due to the NOV
ing up OF the suddenly prosperous classes
and the moving down of the impoverished
well to do classes, is gradually being
relieved. This Is a process which in n
short time must result in many empty
suites in the so-called moderate priced
houses
Superintendent Kleinert takes n rather
gloomy view of the style and quality of
construction which the builders are dis
playing this year. He assured repre-
sentative of THE NEW YORK HERALD that
something really ought to be done about
1t In order to preserve architectural and
CONSTITUTIONAL unity in New York. The
| apartment houses now going UP. he
says, resemble factories and will not be
| tolerated later on. Mr.. Kleinert believes
| 1t is an injustice to owners of older
properties to allow the building Of such
houses in neighborhoods where better
taste In design and more substantial
construction have prevailed In the past.

for the estate OF Thomas G. Arrow. The
properties are situated in the Westches-

station OF the Lexington avenue subway.

opinion as to whether or not the local
ten year tax exemption on moderate
priced apartment houses and dwellings
has been responsible for the great rush
of architects and builders to file plans
for residential buildings. Some contend
that the existing high rents and the pass
age Of the September rent laws in 1920,
exempting new buildings from the ap-
plication of the April rent laws, are the
real reasons for the courage Of the home
builder. Examination of the files of the
building departments in the various
boroughs. however, shows that 1t was
not until after the passage of the tax
exemption ordinance that the rush to
file plans began. This. as some contend.
may be a mere coincidence, but it Is. to
say the least. a significant fact that 90
per cent Of the houses planned this year
are already under construction. accord
ing to the data in the possession Of the
building departments.
