ONE-PIECE BUILDINGS

Houses and more pretentious buildings hereafter
may be comparable to union suits. The one piece
building has arrived
1t started with the poured" structure of concrete
devised by Edison and described by the fancy Greek
word ''monolith' which signifies "one-stone." That
type of structure has no. yet made such headway
the inventor expected but it's gaining, and to
become more popular as lumber becomes and
pensve and architects work out attractive forms
of concrete homes.
Now it is the one-pece structure of steel, of
steel and concrete with the steel parts all welded to-
gther and the skeleton surrounded and filled out with
concrete in the usual way.
Engineers belonging to the American Welding So
ciety say that welding is the coming thing in arcitec
ture, and will take the place of rvetng. The din of
the pneumatic rveer will give way to the of the
gas torch the flare of the electric weder When
job is finished, the skeleton will be literally great
piece of steel, if shaped the forge of some
superhuman blacksmith. There said to be big ad-
vanages in this process in time and cost of construc-
tion and in the strength of the structure itself.
Now let the engineers provide fancy word for
that. The obvious companion-word "monoith," which
according to the Greek dictionary would be mono
chalyb" somehow seems bit lacking in euphonc ap
peal.

that its sales will reach S1O50O0,000 for the year,
against $90000000 last year and S6l0000C0 the year
before. Gimbel Brothers of New York expect to do
several million dollars worth of business than in
1923. Another firm covering wide territory esti-
mates its sales for 1924 at $80000000, against $73,
600 900 in 1923 and S61,0G0,000 in 1922. big dry

worth and other dealers in their hines which reach into

Here is proof of the best kind, from many sources,
that the plain people the average consumers, who

appearing only once in newspaper, and oc-
cupyng only half inch in space this brief ad DEM
onstrated two things. One the tremendous num-
Der OF persons reached by such small advertise

OF promoters and getrichquick specialists waiting to
take advantage of every ignorant investor
The advertiser in this case received 55 prompt re-

would appeal to experienced investor for their
their safety stability And of this small group
had tempting catch in it, since the writer first offer
ed a good railroad stock and then added that if she
she wished to take reasonable business chance" he
could offer her something with larger returns.

Cultivate Pretty Neck, Says Dr.
 Whitney
Dr. LILLIAN WHITNEY

Every young girl in good health has at least pretty neck. Few are beau tiful. But everything that is still touched with the "dew of. youth" is at tractiye. The skin remains fresh, the muscles are firm, and although the size, shape and general outline of the throat may not be graceful and artistic, the fact that it is smooth, firm and fresh looking makes it attractive to the eye.
 However, beauty is only skin deep," and it behooves every girl to look into the future and try to visualize the con dition of her neck ten. twenty years hence. Why? Because nothing dis closes your age so quickly and no tissues in your body shrink so rapidly as those of the neck.
 A firm, beautifully rounded neck can be cultivated by daily exercises. Most grand opero singers have beautiful necks because they build them up with the breathing exercises which lay the foundation for their voice culture, and because they exercise the muscles of the throat consistently in their work and lastly, they preserve the smooth ness and firmness of their throats by the use of cosmetics. Thu they de- light the eye as well as enchant the ears of their audiences.
 Among the peasant folk still remain ing in Europe one sees remarkably beautiful necks because they carry heavy burdens on their heads, the weight being balanced by the muscles of the neck which support the head.

My Neiighbor Says

Beat soap flakes into a foam with the egg beater. Fewer flakes will be required and better suds will result. l, To remove vegetable stains from your fingers, dip them in very strong tea for a few minutes and then wash them in clear, warm water.
 In toasting bread the object should be not only to brown it, but to take out all the moisture possible, so that in eating it the toast will have to be freely mixed with saliva in order to be swallowed. This makes longer chewing necessary and ipsures better digestion.
 When stitching skirt seams always have the selvidge side uppermost to keep the material from being puckered. When two cross seams have to be joined, tack a narrow piece of tape in the seam before stitching. This will prevent the seam from stretching.
 To ascertain the length of material to allow for a frill, measure the length required when finished and then allow half as much again, or, if the frill is to be very full, another quarter or half in addition.
 Be sure that the chimneys are clean before any paperhanging is done in the house or, when the furnace is started again your new paper will have to be cleaned.
