OFFICIALS LEAD
NEW RENT STRIKE
IN JERSEY CITY
This Time 1t Is Against Profi-

rents are threatened to be raised to
exorbitant and unheard OF heights by

The assemblage was a fashionable
one and more than half were women.
! They hailed mostly from apartment
ton and none was too proud TO come
forward and lodge a protest against
unwarranted increases in rentals.
When Director Cannon mounted
the platform to open the meeting and
incidentally to declare the second rent
strike on, he was generously ap-
plauded. In his opening address he
! said:

WHY BRICK CHIMNEYS LEAN
nate Wetting and Drying to
Which They Are Subjected.

Between the wagon builder, alter
nately wetting and drying a board to
bend 1t to the desired shape, and the
house chimney, grotesquely leaning to-
ward the east, brick masons say there
Is similarity. The leaning chimney is
a subject on which even the doctors
disagree, but the theory referred to
seems the most plausible.
Chimneys lean toward the east. A
little observation anywhere will prove
this. Even the best-built affair Of
brick and mortar, acquiring age, often
begins to lean. Various theories are
advanced, but the explanation Of al
ternate wetting and drying seems the
best.
Chimney walls collect more or less
moisture during the night, on all sides.
Now, II the broad side of the chimney
Is toward the east, and If the sun
strikes that part of the chimney first,
that side dries out much quicker than
the north or south side, or the western
side. In time Of rainfall, the east side
ordinarily Is dried the quickest. This
general condition has the effect Of
pulling the chimney toward the east.
