More Dwelling Houses.

There was a decided increase in the
construction Of dwelling houses In this
country during the first ten months Of
1921, according to information obtained
by the civic development department
of the National Chamber Of Commerce.
Construction figures furnished by
a. important cities show that during
the period from January to October Of
last year about $eO3, OOO, 1000 went into
new construction, while during all 1920
the total in the same cities was only
$8,000,00O more. During the shorter
period this year $40 per cent Of the
total was for dwelling houses as
against only 1851 per cent in 1920. 1t
is believed that the dwelling percent
age will be larger when all figures
r in.

steps and he led her to q bench over
looking the river.
II thought" he began as he lighted
a cigarette with q great deal Of care,
that we might sit here awhile and
watci the bourgeoisie in it's native
haunts- particularly in that rabbit
hutch yonder." He indicated the
tallest and stateliest Of the many
apartment buildings that lined the

seemed to be having a great deal Of
trouble with his cigarette. At last no

his manner, shrank away a little, and

"Oh, Clark, I do care! I've known

she might have said was smothered.
He released her presently. "And you

there, and 1 do MISUNDERSTANDING.
And I have a a and everything, and
you can paint all you want to"

souls which they had just quilted.
"My names Andrews-Clark An

Goodnight, Helen" he replied. And
they parted.
They met again, often. They visited
other places and saw other free souls ;
but the attraction that had first drawn
them remained; it even grew stronger
as weeks passed. Two kindred souls,
they felt the mutual attraction of their
work as we'll as the power of personal
liking. They took long evening walks
together; they explored the lower re-
gions of the city at strange hours Of
the night; they talked much Of their
work and what they hoped to do.
And then, n evening, when they
had met at the Cerise Frog and dis
cussed together certain strange Italian

particularly famous Or Infamous, Clark
said to Helen, LETS take a bus ride"
She seemed surprised for a moment,
then assented. "If you feel the urge
to visit the haunts of bourgeoisie along

To tell you the truth, I'm just the least

On top Of the sway1ng Fifth avenue

Engine Has Three Carburetors.

Three carburetors on one engine
presented an odd appearance at a
French auto show recently and was
the subject Of much comment. The
engine, which is illustrated in the
Popular Mechanics Magazine, is a 40
horse power and has six cylinders.
When three c%arburetors are fitted, two
of them supply Independent groups Of
cylinders, fer high power and speed,
while the third supplies all the cylin-
ders at low speed, or floating range"
as it is called. Thus, if a motor car
has an engine with six cylinders, these
are divided into two groups Of three,
and n carburetor feeds each group
when high speed Is desired, or when
heavy power is needed, as in hill climb
ing. The third carburetor feeds all
Of the cylinders at low speed.

Dread the Surgeons Knife.

A prominent surgeon says he has
found that boxers who have a repu.
tation for gameness in the ring are
like a small child asked to take castor
oil when they must submit to oper-
atoms. "You have seen boxers absorb
terrific punishment" said the surgeon,
getting knocked down for counts time
and time again, yet rising with natural
instinct to receive another blow that
sends them to the canvas again. These
men, or the majority of them, are shy
on nerves and do not feel much pain
merely a sort of shock that dulls
their mind and causes them to weaken.
But take the same man and show him
a knife and his gameness ends to; a
great degree"

Embarrassing Moment.

BACK TO TENT-SKIRT DAYS7
Hoop Craze, II 10 Reliably Reported,
Threatens to Enuulf Woman
kind Once More,

The jazz skirt is doomed. Those
who have refrained from drinking
wood alcohol for fear Of going blind
during the brief skirt epidemic need
have no such conjunction in the fu-
ture. A French fashion journal says
the hoop skirt will be all the rage
within n year, writes Roy X. Moul-
ton In the New York Mail.
The first hoop skirt was designed by
Omar the Tentmaker, and the idea
was later used by p. #. Barnum to
house his congress Of freaks and ami
mails. SO far as history goes Omar's
design was first used as a skirt by the
late lamented Queen Elizabeth.
When Queen Liz floated out Of Wind
sor castle to take the air she resem-
bled a full-rigged ship sailing before
the wind, with everything working,
including the foretopl %spinnaker and
jibS. She occupied so much territory
that she had to speak in a loud tone
of voice to be heard by her large cir
Gle of admirers. They used to hold
the six-day bicycle races around the
edge of her skirt.
In those days the woman herself
merely acted in the capacity of GEN.
ter pole for the tent she wore and
when she was Overtaken by a high
wind it was customary for her tlupkies
to stake her gown to the ground
around the edges.
There was a lull in the hoop skirt
epidemic for some time, and hoop
skirts broke out in this country along
about the Civil al period. They
didn't exactly cause the war, but they
may cause one this time.

Too Much for AirplanA.

Efforts to make use Of airplanes
for the purpose Of assisting in the ef-
forts to scale high mountains have
not been attended with any great sue
cess. In the Alps the varying condi-
tons Of the snow surface has been a
serious detriment to making landings
and getaways" Again, on heights
above $4,000 feet the rarity Of the
air begins to affect the steering and
control Of an airplane. At 10000
feet, pilots say, control for landing is
doubtful and at still higher levels 1t
is impossible. OF course, planes have
climbed to more than $4,000 feet with
the pilots kept alive by oxygen. But
these have been straight up and down
achievements. This Is largely why

capture he was for years regarded
as n of the worst prisoners ever
brought to the San Quentin prison,

den he became head trusty and finally
was p%ardoned. Since his release he
has devoted himself to the work of
bringing about prison reforms and has

advocates the adjustment of prisons

BY JACK eIHoN
The Man Who Taught One Thous
and New Orleans Boys and
Girls to Swim

Right now the beginner faces the
hardest job he will have in learn
ing to swim. That is getting rid
of any possible fear of the water.
Many persons who are not swim
mers have an inherent dread Of the
water-they are afraid of getting
their heads wet. And anybody who
wants to swim will have to get rid
of that fear right now.
If you have mastered the dry land
exercises given you last week, you
are ready to go into the water. That
does not mean that you can expect
to plunge in and go speeding off at
a champions pace - far from it.
You have two important things to
learn first-breathing and bal
ance.
We will take breathing first.
Now you naturally inhale through
the nose and exhale through the
mouth; in swimming, that habit is
reversed. You breathe in through
the mouth and out through the
nose. Practice it few times be-
fore going into the water.
Now you're ready! Jump into wa
ter-not deeper than your waist
and play around for few minutes.
First duck your head (you can hold
your nose the first time, if you
want to- You'll find out it isn't sol
bad. But it probably will take all
your nerve to duck your head with
out holding your nose.
Start bobbing up and down slow
ly. Start by taking a deep breath
through your mouth; then as you
go down, exhae through the nose.
Do not come up until the breath
