Despite the early begnnings of the apartment house thousands of years before 1889, a conference held this year in Washington by mem- bers of the building construction industry revealed that the trend to group dwellings is still increasing at rapid rate in the United States.
 "In the past IS years" the men- bers disclosed, "for every 100 .one- family dwellings erected In the larger cities of the United States, s7 families have been provided for in apartments" The figures quoted cover 257 of the largest cities of the country which contain more than one-third of the population.
 Copenhagen Ranks First
 Although the United States tends to favor the apartment houses as dwellings 1t iags far behind some of the larger European centers. In Copenhagen, for instance, 90 per cent of its 6ee,oo0 population live in apartments.
 Turning to a discussion of the early beginnings of the tenement, the geographic society points out that Rome had only l,7s0 one family homes as compared to 44,0O0 group dwellings. Augustus, ruler of Rome, had to limit their height to 70 feet and the city later, under Trajan, reduced the limit to 60 feet as @ safety measure. :.
 Tn ancient Athens and Babylon" the report continues, "the apart ment houses were tenanted by the poor, and by those who, possessing no civic rights, could not acquire land. Alexandria, cosmopolitan and cultural center of Egypt, had many of its 500,000 residents living in apartments in the second century, A, D."

The ancient dwellings were not the well-lighted. elevator equipped buildings of the goth century. Apartments in Medenine, Tunisia, were windowless and were access sible only by crude outside stairs, often reaching four or five stories.
 Tracing development of the sys- tenn to more modern times the re- port cites apartment growth and development in Europe of the last century. "Seventy-five years ago Berlin led in apartment homes. followed by Vienna, Budapest, Prague, Hamburg, Paris, Stock holm and Oslo, then Kristiania," the report states.
 "In England, flats were not as popular. Today, London's ultra modern apartment houses are re- placing many old five and six story town houses of the nobility, especially n the vicinity of the Ken- sington Gardens.
 "In Tokyo, however, the first American type apartment house was built less than IS years ago. while crowded China has clung to individua! dwellings.
 Tn America, the cliff dwellings of the southwest were the first apartment buildings. The pueblos belong to a second period of Amer. ican group homes. More closely approaching the modern apart. ment house were the great mason. " structures such as were found at Pueblo Bonito in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico Many years ago as high as 1900 persons lived in the mammoth structures at the, same time."
 The report concludes with the observation that not only the poor people h ave lived in apartments through the ages.
 About 90 years ago the Pon- talba Mansions became the first apartments occupied by the aris- tocracy of New Orleans, and in New York City the famous Spanish Flats were erected in 1882 at 59th St., and Seventh Ave, where they remained until 12 years ago."
