Early Skyscraper Homes.
New Workers. are so often reminded
of the splendor of their skyscraper homes
and office buildings that many of them
take 1t for granted that this style of
construction originated In New York as
an invention of necessity. The fact is
skyscraper homes were in vogue CEN
turtles before the first building was
erected here.
1t is accepted pretty generally that the
monks of southeastern Europe were the
originators of high altitude dwelling
places. Monasteries built centuries ago
on peaks of towering rock piles still in
terest thousands of European tourists
annually and are sharp reminders of
the days when the power of the sword
went before law and order and when
men had to build to resist attack. To
guard their costly sacred vessels the
monks built loftily and sturdily thus
minimizing the danger of disturbance
from men who lived by the sword.
In some cases steep and dangerous
stairways were cut into the rock and in
others contact with the outer world was
provided by means Of basket and a
long rope, which made ascent and de-
scent still more difficult and dangerous.

practicability as II reduced the number

The National Association of Real
Estate Boards In an exhaustive attempt
to determine the efficacy OF the multiple
listing system now In effect in several
cities, has satisfied itself that only in a
very few instances has this method of
cooperative selling proved a failure In
the latter instances the investigation
showed that the fault was attributable
almost invariably to the incapacity OF
the secretary TO handle the details, the
improper division OF commission to list
ing and selling offices, the failure OF
statesmen to cooperate and the suspicion
OF unfair dealing among members.

Owner S Prizes for Babies
Rid House of Animal Pets
BY THE ODD PARAGRAPHER.

He was a landlord with a decidedly
Rooseveltian mind on the question of
child rearing. but his tenants generally
were not in sympathy with his view
point. OF the ten families in his house,
one had two children three had one
child each and the others had as sub
stitutes for children pets ranging all
the way from canary birds to monkeys.
One day he posted a notice that a
cash prize equivalent to a months rent
would be paid to every family blessed
with a newborn child. During the first
year two Of the couples who had chill
dren claimed the prize. The indffer-
ence of the childess ones seemed to
annoy the owner who promptly started
on another tack by reducing the rents
of the families with offspring and
made the others pay a proportionate
increase. When a second year elapsed
without bringing the desired result the
owner hailed the childless tenants to
court one by one and made various
charges, usually against the pets, to
prove them undesirables. In that man.
ner he got rid of them all, aided and
abetted by the enemies of race sui
eide, and subsequently rerented the
quarters TO the largest family seeking
living accommodations. To-day his
tenants average four children to fam
