Skyscraper Garages And Vast Arcades in City of the Future New York, April 20.?Vast arcades, tunneling through massive business blocks; skyscraper garages to house thousands of automobiles; elevators carrying commuters to spacious airplane landing stations above the highest roofs? Such is the picture of traffic in great American cities 50 years hence, as drawn by Dr. John A. Harriss, fVfl ffl/? PnmwiayiAnor n/ Mn??. Vrt?l. W.IMMIUOIVUVt v/l i^rw 1 Ulh City, writing in the Fiftieth Anniversary Issue of Popular Science Monthly. Even now, it is pointed out, a 25story "motor hotel" has been planned for Chicago at a cost of $1,200,000, with housing capacity for 1100 automobiles. "As our cities become more congested, says Dr. Harris, "the traffic problem can only be solved by employing bold methods. One solution will bo to cut new streets or to tunnel through blocks of buildings, forming arcades. Such arcades would be elevated, not interfering with the cross streets. * "The main arteries of travel in large cities may be double decked. Since these would be elevated and uninterrupted by cross street traffic, high speed could be made by all kinds ~u:i i>i autuuiuuilfil. "Special provision will be made for the thousands of automobiles that will employ these causeways. The public parks and squares can be undermined. These great spaces, reached by ramps, will accommodate tens of thousands of cars." Fifteen thousand persons paid a shilling each for the privilege of viewing Princess Mary's wedding presents. The proceeds will go to charily. ( Prince of Wales Views Fishing Industry Tokio, April 18.?On a moonless night, illuminated only by blazing torches, Edward, Prince of Wales, will Le taken for a trip along the-River Niagara to witness the strange cormorant fishing industry while on his visit to Japan ps guest of the Imperial government. This curious method of catching fish with birds instead of hook and hnc has existed in Japan from time immemorial. Twenty-eight men, lour boats and 64 birds constitute a work- ' ing unit of these picturesque fishing fleets to be seen in many sections of Japan but particularly along the Nirgara river. The cormorants are trained when quite young and will continue to work for 15 and even 20 years. When well trained and properly handled, each bird will average about 150 Ish an hour. The master fisherman, distinguished by his peculiar hat, stands in the how handling no fewer than 12 birds with remarkable skill. Another fisherman, with four birds, is situated amidships, a third member of the crew is stationed between the two, armed with a piece of bamboo which he strikes to keep the birds at their work, at the same time encouraging them by shouts and cries. Each cormorant has a ring of metal or bone around the hase of its neck permitting it to swallow the smallet fish as food but effectively stopping those of marketable size from passing through. Round the body of the bird is a cord, to which is attached in the middle of the back a short strip of stiff whalebone, with which to lower the bird into the water or lift it out again and a thin rein of spruce fibre, 12 feet long. The master lowers his 12 birds into the stream and holds the reins in his left hand, manipulating them with his right as occasion requires. The second fisherman does the same with his four birds while the third man begins his volleys of noise. The birds start diving and ducking with wonderful swiftness as the fish ccme swimming toward the blaze of light. The master has a busy time ^ handling his 12 strings to prevent , them tangling while the birds are dashing hither and thither. When one of the birds becomes engorged, it swims about in a foolish, j helpless way, with its head and swollen neck erect and the master hauls ' it in. He forces its bill open with his ?4-:ll U-1JJ it-- -it t; New Scheme to Help the Boy Chicugo, April 22.?The barefoo boy who used to j 'ay hookey fror school and get into the circus by car rying water for the elephants o slipping past the watchful guards i being replaced by the carefully dress ed youngster who goes to the "scin tillating spectacular, stupendous per formance" with his teacher and walk boldly in through the main entranci as the management's guest, his ad mission being entirely free. The change, bringing free adr.iis sion to boys, started through eoopera tive arrangements between circu managements and leaders in boys welfare work who wanted to give th< underprivileged lad a little pleasure Now it is spreading so that not onlj the poor boy, dependert on ?publi< charity, but the average schoo youngster can get an "eye full" of ele phants, lions, tigers, clowns and aero bates free, for thousands of kiddie; now are being supplied with free citrus tickets. The new schefne started in Chicag* when Hull House, Gads Hill Cente and other boys' settlement homes ap pealed to the Sells Floto circus a yeai or so ago to let their boys in free Thi? vonttocf *uoo ?? * '?v ix.\|uvov tr?M *vuviuk* ^lUIIlCU iliu the arrangement repeated each year Then the circus management decid ed to extend the plan to the school: and large groups of children were in \ ited each day. Accompanied bv th teachers, they came by the hundieds During its two weeks' stay here th< management of this circus gave awaj several thousand tickets to childro: and?most remarkable of all- foum that giving away tickets to kids wa a money-making proposition in th long run, for the boy of today prove* to be the grown up circus "fan" ?.f to morrow. One of the leaders in the nuvemen to give the youngsters a free view o the circut was Allan Carpenter, di rector of the Boys' Club at Hull House here. Mr. Carpenter, in his wor' with youngsters who had no horn of their own, found that one of thei greatest needs was recreation of ; type which would take their mu d the daily routine of life. "We believed a trip to the cir. it would be a splendid thing for tnei.i but we had no money for such thing.-*.' he said. "When the kids came ba. 1 from their matinee they were :n ? stacy. They didn't quit taking ah >u it for week and were full of pep :i.i< life. We are going to extend our wor I and try to arrange for more sue! pleasure for them." Big Year for Home Builders Predicted All signs point to 1922 as a bit year for home builders, according t* the Department of Commerce. Tin Department's Division of Building an* Housing has studied reports of con tracts awarded, analyzed figures oi building permits and consulted witl builders and real estate men fron scores of cities, and concludes that be fore the year is out the United State will have begun to reduce its housin) shortage of about one million homes. Some verv sinmle fierures t?-l 1 llv story. In 27 northeastern states, ii which over two-thirds of our peopl live, the F. W. Dodge Co. reports tha contracts for 75 million dollars wort I of residential construction wer awarded in February. The figure wa the same for January, while Decembe showed a total of 101 million dollars These figures compare with a nionthl; average for the year 1919 of 71 mil lion dollars and for 1921 of 73 millioi dollars. The showing is very remark able, as normally December, Januar; and February are the three lowes months of the year, and it is espec ially encouraging since the late sum mer and fall months showed an un usually large number of building pro jects started, to be carried along dur ing the winter season. Everything points, therefore, to an active sprinj building season. The situation varies greatly be tween different cities, of course, a fe\ even having a surplus of homes, bu a number of places apparently wi build to the limit of their capacity. 1 view of general business conditions i does not seem likely that there will b any great general increase in built] ing material prices or building trad wages. In fact, the steady activit during the fall and winter months ir dicates that the demand for new cor struction is of a steady, healthy m ture, that would probably slacken i case of any marked advances. Movements in the building indus try during the next few months ai expected to be rather steady. Measured in floor space, the avei age contracts awarded during the pa; three months stand well above tl 1921 average and very close to tl high year of 1919. With such a stai the year 1922 could easily rank ahea of any year since the beginning of tli war. Residential uuuaings nave accoun ed for 47 per cent, or nearly half t all new construction during the pa: three months, whereas during tl years 1919 to 1921 residential coi struction was only 31 per cent, or le: than one-third of the total. Horn builders are having first call on the r< sources of the construction industry. A company has been incorporated 1 provide rigid airship service with America and later to link Amerit with the rest of the world by aeri; routes. The first dirigibles will 1 built in Germany. It is expected thi service between New York and Ch cago will be established before tl end of 1923 with two ships, each d signed to carry 100 passengers ar 30 tons of express and mail matte Helium gas and a substitute for gasi line will be usld. s1 I The 1 I Baptis ;| FIFTH !
