Pleasing The Man
By CHLOE JAMIsON


 4 whole month after the holidays. Time for a little special treat for the man of the house, isn't 1t?
 Dozens, # you should ask for their choice, would petition for Q favor tte cake in one case, @ luscious white cake with thick, creamy in- ner filling of chocolate icing and another thick application of icing for the outside.
 For someone else, a layer cake with lemon pie filling for the inner goody, and Q white outer icing thickly sprinkled with coconut. In fact, more than one plea will be made for coconut cake of some sort. Men never forget the early im- precision made upon them by this festive looking dessert, so fluffy and fairy.like that one cannot mistake its party implication.
 Let us humor this predilection for another reason: Aside from It's beauty and goodness and the food value 1t adds to recipe, coconut is economical, whether we use the old-fashioned dry shredded coconut or the new moist-packed variety which is as soft and tender IS thought 1t had just been freshly grated.
 We can make a most inexpensive cake look gorgeous and taste too good to be true by sprinkling it all over with |. 9onut. It will add little cost, too, if we make the inner fill- ing . bit more elaborate than usual by adding a little maple fiavoring and mixing with the center portion of filling a few chopped dates, rais- ans or entrants and, if they are handy, few chopped nuts. That will further carry out the tropical suggestion of the coconut.
 You'd like an economy cake recipe for the foundation of this treatP Sift once two cups of special cake flour; add to 1t two teaspoons bak- ing powder and quarter teaspoon salt and sift together three times. Cream four tablespoons butter and add gradually one cup sugar, cream ing until light and fluffy. Now add one egg, unbeaten, and beat the whole well. Add flour alternately with three-quarter cup of milk, a little at time, beating after each addition. Flavor with vanilla and bake in layer cake pans in a mod crate oven. Put filling between lay CTS, cover with plain maple frost- ing and sprinkle generously with CO., conut while icing is still hot.

has made q practical effort to COM
bine the tenants need for comfort
and convenience with the landlord s
need for economy in first costs and
maintenance costs.
Only 80 per cent Of the lot is
covered by these new apartment build
ings-sometimes less. Children will
be able to play in pleasant open spaces
instead of dark alleys or streets made
perilous by traf1c.
Three stories Is the maximum for
all structures except Harlem Houses,
New York, and Laurel Homes, Cincin-
natl. The high cost Of land in these
two cases necessitated four-story
walk-up apartments to keep down
rentals.
Apartment houses must be only two
rooms deep, with light and cross ven-
tilation in each living unit. There
will be no long Railways. Building
materials must be fire-resistant. Col
umns, roofs and foundations must be
of concrete, walls Of brick, tile or
cinder concrete block faced with
brick. These materials were chosen
for proved durability. The 60-year
amortization period on the Govern
ment loan of IS per cent of the hous-
ing value, at 1855 per cent interest,
makes 1t necessary to build houses that
will last so years.
Effort to Bring Privacy.

In Indianapolis, where slums cost
the city $2729 per capita in city ser
vices as against 81 per capita In other
\ directions, they object to that vulgar
Ward "slum." Visitors there are re-
uested to refer to such places as
'areas Of great economic drain and
serious social Generalization" But
prefer the good old word "slum," even
II it was English thieves slang until
Dickens made it respectable-outside
Of Indianapolis. 1t comes from the
German word "schlamm" - mud,
slime or mire.
Z In Chicago, 56 per cent Of all adult
and juvenile delinquency is ascribed
to two slum areas near the Loop. The
same districts, with a third region
north of the Loop district. account for
all police calls, 81 per cent of all FIRE
calls and so per cent of the city's
health services.
In the section just below the Har-
lem Houses project, in New York City,
Seventh avenue from One Hundred
Twenty-sixth to One Hundred Forty
second street, the infant mortality rate
IN 192s-31 was over 100 deaths per
Thousand.

The most important are big walk-up
apartment houses. In all but % cases

slum sites, Uncle Sam made an agree
inent with the city government to
condemn and demolish an equivalent
number Of slums.
STANDARD worked Out.
The architects and engineers at
tached to Uncle Sans housing divi-
sion have worked out a series of stand
ard plans which can be adapted by
local architects to suit local condi-
tions. But whether it be among the
palm trees Of Puerto Rico or on the

project like Highland Homes at
Wayne, Pa. sheltering so families at

80 projects to be completed in 1887
must conform to these standards. Al
ready they have set new standard
for the private building industry.

Intelligent planning can overcome
many of the disadvantages Of re-
stricted areas. Living rooms are placed
as far as possible from kitchens, and
it is never necessary to pass through
the living room to reach o bedroom
or bathroom.
Most Of the apartments have no
dining rooms. They are regarded As
ureconomical in low-rent housing, be-
ing utilized only about 40 per cent Of
the time compared to other rooms.
Space is provided for eating in the
kitchen. Heating arrangements vary
with local conditions. Kitchens in
clude at least q combination sink and
laundry tray, refrigeration and range.
All bathrooms have hot water.
The apartments are arranged in
groups of two. three or four units"
The whole building is series Of these
units combined. The plan Of . unit
may be in the form Of the letter "T,"
in the form of q cross, or In the form
of q corner or q strip.
In the Laurel Homes project, at Gin
cinnati, found strip, ''T," and corner
units combined with the utmost econ
omy of space and the maximum Of
light and air. One building is in the
shape OF huge letter "F." Ten Eyck
Houses, New York, will be Q series Of
irregular "H's"-the buildings combi-
nations Of cross units, strip units and
"T" units. Harlem Houses, the prof.
ect for Harlem Negroes, beside the
Harlem River-just south Of Yankee
Stadium and the old Colonial house
of Nine. Jumel, as matrimonially IA
nous as Peggy Joyce in her day-will
combine strip and ''I' units in yet
another pattern.
Series of Hollow Squares.
The Cedar Central project. Cleve-
land, will have strip and corner units
suggesting, roughly, q series OF hollow
squares, with irregular outlines like
the pieces of a picture puzzle. In
the Lockfield Garden project. In
dianapolis, the big IL" shaped build
ings have been planned to set "askew"
in order to receive the most sunlight
ana to make the most use Of the
yistas of mark and curving pathways
