Well. whatever she did. he was with

Fortunately the air was fairly warm yet
and Irene seemed to thrive on plenty
of water. She shook herself and came
up smiling, little crisper curl in her

She looked at him quizzically. Are
you afraid?"
Yes, scared to death. Are you?"
Absolutely. Amt it a grand and
glorious feeling?"
They rode to toe top of the next wave

Vern was glad that they were not car

Acting on a discouraging thought,
Vern worked his way amidships to the

tried it. There was little water. but
not much. He had it dry in Is minutes.

.LONG-TERM LEASE
CAUTION IS URGED
Present Values Provide False
Basis for Such Agree
ments, Expert Says.

In a report on percentage leases be-
fore the recent Pittsburgh convention
OF the National Association Of Build
ing Owners and Managers. Frank S.
Slosson, newly elected president Of the
association. urged extreme caution in
accepting the low percentage, long term
offers which are being made today.
Il won't make q long-term lease on
present values" he said. "and no one
Is justified in SO doing"
Mr.. Slosson also characterized as
"vicious" the practice Of making a
straight percentage lease with no mini
mum guarantee.
Sees Tenants Las.ard.
"Such a lease" he said. gives the
tenant no incentive to build big busi-
ness volume If . tenant has to pay a
substantial but fair minimum guaran-
tee. he is not going to take his best
manager away from your store and put
him in one where he hasn't per-
centage lease and Is carrying a high
rental I advise you to secure sub
stantial, equitable minimum guarantee.
probably based on today's market val
ues.
Also I would suggest" Mr.. Slosson
continued. That if you make straight
lease, it be for a term Of not more
than five years. with recapture clause,
even If you have to pay compensa-
ton for that clause. The recapture
clause should be operative in not more
than two years. and preferably one,
and from that time any year there
after during the life of the lease. The
alternative to the recapture clause is
a step-up in the minimum guarantee.
Under present conditions, prefer the
recapture clause"
Would Use Old Basis.
As to what is the correct percentage
for different lines to pay, Mr. Slosson
said he saw no reason for modifica-
ton Of the percentages which were
found satisfactory from 1859 He
cautioned, however. against attempting
| to establish definite percentages appli-
cable on a Nationwide scale to any
| type of business.
I'VE all recognize" he said, the fact
that a percentage cannot be set for a
| retail line that is not doing enough
| business to carry other items of over
head If a man isn't breaking even,
it doesn't matter whether you say that
he can pay l per cent or 10 per cent

Stucco Is Wet.

O. Some stucco work was done on
my house recently. and when it rains,
some places dry up quicker than
others. In some places it is 10 or II
days before it dries out completely.
What is the cause of this?-S c..
A. Stucco work may become wetter
in some places during rain, due to the
fact that those sections face the di-
rection of the downpour. 1t is posi-
be. too. that a faulty mixture of the
cement may be responsible. However,
it is good plan to protect stucco with
,wo or three coats of paint manufac-
tured for the purpose.

A Weak Decision

The act requires that contractors Govern

There have been dozens of complaints that contractors

The Commissioners ignored the recommendations of their law
officer.
They have simply ordered that the contractor pay the

Teacher -Typist

Amy johnson was a Sun
day school teacher in Hull
and spent three years In
Sheffield University before
going up to London to take
a job as stenographer for a
law firm. Little did those
dry legal gentlemen in their
fubsy office dream that the
demure young woman peck
ing away at her typewriter
was destined shortly to take
her place among the most
famous of the world.
An airplane ride at a
country fair changed her
life. They calle d h e r
"Johnny" at the airport
where she went at night to
potter among the planes
after a long days work as
a typist in the city. She
was captivated by planes
by the thrill of flying. She
gave up movies, dancing
and all other amusements
and half-starved herself to
save the S. she had to pay
for every flying lesson.
And then with nothing more
than a flight of $50 miles
to here credit, she hoped
into a secondhand plane,
which had only one motor
and no wireless, and lit out
for Australia, clear around
on the other side of the
world.
