V Building done these days is qutte certain to be good building; better than the average .- quality in times when real estate; improvements are more actively- carried on. This is a point worth considering as an offset, in part, to high prices for material, and high wages in the' building trades. Contractors are sure to take unusual pains to please those who, give thein business. They are met obliged, a they have been, at times, to put up with almost any labor, however incom petent, that can be found, even among tramps and idlers. There have been periods, such as the last year of the war, when the standards were so low ered that almost anyone who could and would work at ail was eagerly hired for service which needed pains taking intelligence. All the way through the Various trades that contribute to the bulldluj: of dwelling of a business block there Is a .strong desire to make thework done so satisfactory that; It will lead x to more employment All who have anything to do with, real estate im provements are anxious to promote n revival of construction, on the' largest possible, scale;" ,': v.Vt":';,;;;--- .These facts" are important They are worthy of consideration hy all who ate dealing with building; problems.

Proper housing conditions have been regarded as the basis upon which' all other reforms arid; betterments r must rest Without decent home surroundings, light' and air, proper sanitation we do not have good citizens. All of this has been said many times .before The surprising thing is that in this Country at least, there has been comparatively little in terest in It among well-to-do who d& sire to aid with their wealth the well- being of their fellow men.

' The centenary of the hrth of Ellas Howe,: the modest -Yankee who Invent ed the sewing - machine, took place on Tune 9. There; was no extended of-' servance of the day, ' observes Hart ford Conrant, yet It 'was Howe who took a good deal of ' the drudgery out of the lives of millions of American women. He also Increased the power of his fellow men to produce garments and other material that ..formerly 1 needed , the patient handwork of indi viduals. ' : -But It Is Interesting to observe. In connection with the anniversary, that : the - Savannah News . undertakes thei rather hopeless task of trying to jcon vince its readers that It was not Howe, but a Georgian. Francis B. Goulding, who' constructed and operated the first ( sewing : machine. ? This paper says that this man; a Presbyterian preach er living n Liberty county, married a Savannah, girl and then began work on a r sewing machine ' In order - that ; he might save his fair wife much hard work. -Alleging this was long before Howe patented his machine, and also that Goulding never patented his, they try to show his motives were purely altruistic and not commercial. It all sounds good, but it ' will take considerable "space" in 'the Georgia newspapers to convince the world that Goulding takesMhe prize. MONKEY CHAIN CALLED MYTH Recent Travelers In South "America . Explain Probable Origin of Story V Once Implicitly Dclved. An Interesting article by Prof; E.JV7.

Several late writers have repeated the tale. The first person to dispute its veracity was iparon Humboldt. Recently "explor ers of South America, when -they men- tlon the story fat all, -express ?skeptl cism. Finally, Messrs1. Leo B.. Miller and George K. Cherrle of the Ameri can Museum of Natural History, who 1 have done so much traveling, and col lecting n South America, have sug gested : to Professor Gudger a plausi ble origin for such tales. They1 think that the story of the "monkey bridge" has - come ' about C through observation of "a procession of monkeys crossing a ravine or stream on a pendent liana. -r-Sdentlfic American. - .
