NEW YORK. Oct. Ell have had
several notes here about the pigs
in Central Park ZOO. and a reader
wants to know why there are pigs
there. "To feed the lions and tig-
ers?" he asks, imaginatively.
Nope. So many city-born children
have been found to be ignorant OF
the source Of their milk, and so
many funny replies have been re-
ceived in grammar schools to ques-
tion as 70 what a COW or a pig
looks like, that the city authorities
included cows and pigs and sheep
among their geological specimens.
To a small town man there Is
probably no sight in New York so
pathetic as that Of slum children
looking at the cows In the d.mestic
zoo in Central Park and being told
that these are the animals that milk
comes from.

week, had been raised on demand to

raigned, that each of the SO estab-
lishments had paid similar amounts
for protection, or a total of approx
mately $1,000 week in a single

captain had accumulated nearly
$3.50, 900 in the last two and half

London, Oct. 3.-(P)-Having
paid q friendly visit to . section Of
England frequently troubled by air
raids during the war, Graf Zeppelin,
new German dirigible, today was
soaring toward Berlin on Z 36-hour
test flight. This will be DR.. Hugo
Eckener's last long trial flight be-
fore he starts for the United States.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from

The airship, staging the first
Zeppelin invasion Of England since
April, 1918, reached the Suffolk
coast Lowestoft, about 100 miles
northeast of London. Inhabitants
marvelled at the vastness Of the
dirigible as skctched in the sky by
her lights. They recalled the war
time air invaders when they dived
into bomb proofs while searchlights
and artillery raked the sky as the
hostile airmen flew to London to
drop bombs.

CONSTRUCTION SETS
MARK FOR AUGUST
June of This Year Only Month
to Show Greater
Activity.

Continuing the rapid pace assumed
early this Summer, construction opera
tions last month established a new
record for August activities, according
to statistics compiled by the Associated
General Contractors Of America. The
figures. covering all types of construc-
ton. show June of this year as the
only month on record during which a
greater volume of work was handled.
The total volume of construction reg
istered for the first eight months OF this
wear is more than per cent greater
than the figure recorded for the cor
responding period of 1927.
The volume of contracts awarded
during July was the greatest noted for
that month in any year on record. the
total volume of contracts awarded dur
ing the first seven months of this year
is 10 per cent greater than the total
gained during the same period in 1927.
A scale which places the 1918 aver
age at 100 as its basis shows the index
number for the volume of construction
actually under way during August to
be 239.
Index numbers for other months of
the current year are: January, l25,
February, 124; March, 1877; April, 1854;
May, 1856; June, 244. and July, 237
Corresponding index numbers for
months of 1927 FOLLOW: January, 129;
February, 12l: March, 1876; April, 1866;

CHIMNEY IMPORTANT.
Proper Draft Vital to Satisfactory
Furnace or Fireplace.

Satisfactory service of heating plant
or fireplace is entirely dependent on
the proper chimney This is due to
the fact that the chimney is entirely
responsible for draft. which is essential
to supply air for combustion.
The chimney top should extend above
the highest point of the roof. Sur
rounding buildings or high trees must
not be so near that wind currents will
force air downward The f1ue should
run as straight as possible: its outlet at
the top should not be choked by cap
which might reduce the area Of the
opening There should be only one
opening into each fiue.
Tile f1ue lining is usually desirable
and is invariably used. With joints
well cemented there can be little or no
impeachment to the draft. The average
six to eight room house should have an
8xI2-inch tile-lined flue IS feet high
from basement floor. Smaller homes
and bungalows may use an 8x8-inch
fiue 80 feet high.
