22 AERIAL DWELLINGS PROMINENT INN. Y. Snug Cottages Built on Sky- scrapers Ideal Places ‘ New York, Oct. 14.—A snug little cottage on the roof of a downtown skyscraper, Battery park for a front yard, a view over the harbor, tower- ing office buildings for next-door neightors — such 1s the up-to-date, 1922 ideal of homs for the Manhattan dweller. The fashion is said to be spreading with such rapidity that the sight cf a family washing out to dry sofne hun- dreds of feet directly over the heads of the busy denizens of Whll street is looked for any day now. But, however its popularity may 8row by leaps and bounds, no one has ever insinuated that the innovation has come to combat the high cost of living or to be a simple, economical solution of the housing problem. In fact the contrary is the case) and experimenters in the fleld of lit- eral “high life’’ boast that their new abodes represent a step ‘“‘up”—both figurative and literal — from former dwelling places in palatial Riverside Drive or Upper Fifth avenue apart- ment houses where annual rents are computed in sums of five figures. Among the most recent pioneers in the realm of aerial dwellings are Henry L. Doherty, head of the Wall street banking house of that name; Percy A. Rockfeller, financier and Sir Ashley Sparks, head of the Cunard line in the United dtates. Of these the last two have fitted up sumptuous apartments, half dwelling and half office—atop the new Cunard building at 25 Broadway, 22 stories above the noisy bustle of the most famous and the most congested thor- oughfare in the world. Even more elaborate and extensive are the quarters of Mr. Doherty on the roof of the 15-story Battery park building. Here the elderly bachelor’'s “bungalow” covers the entire top of the large building, containing 16 rooms besides hallways, porches, sun parlors and “hurricane decks.” Here he lives alone with a retinue of servants, as isqlated as if he wew in the heart of a primitive rountry. After the hush of night clLses over the tip of Manhattan, when a pedes- trian in the streats.s a rarity, the sulv sasunds which penetrate to his aerie are the low-voiced foghorns of craft plying rivers which enclose the battery on two sides and the harbor which Hes beyond it. Besides reception, sleeping and drawing rooms, the “bungalow” con- tains a gymnasium, handball and squash court, billiard réom and chem- jcal laboratery, in the last of which ‘which its master, who is also an in- ventor and scientist, spends many hours a week in experimentation. A feature of the apartment of which its owner is particularly proud is the bed in his own living quarters which, by merely pressing an electric button may be made to move automatically through a concealed opening in the ‘wall to a sleeping porch outside. More than 16 miles of telephone wire are said to have been used to install the apartment’s communica- tion system, which includes a port- able transmitter and receiver which may be plugged in at any one of the half dozen or more contrivances with which each room and equipped. The entrance of the apartment, at the head of a flight of stairs from the fourteenth floor, is adorned by an oaken frame with the legend “A. D., 1829,” and a stone sill, both brought by Mr. Doherty from the home of his grandfather in Columbus, O. $459,436 OF AUTOS STOLEN IN MONTH hallway is Uninsured Autos Not Included in List, ‘Which Puts Loss on Basis of $6,000,000 Annually New York, Oct. 14.—Two hundred and ninety-eight automobiles of an in- sured value of almost half a million dollars were stolen in this city last month, according to statistics obtained yesterday by a reporter for The New York Times in a canvass of automobile insurance companies. Officials of several of the companies explained that although the figures in- dicated that approximately $6,000,000 worth of cars were stolen in the five boroughs in the year ending with.Sep- tember, that these figures did not ac- count for thefts of uninsured, machines, roughly estimated to total one-sixth of all the cars reported stolen to the police. The statistics also revealed that com- pared with the same month in 1920 al- most double the number of cars were stolen in the city last September, and that automobile thieves were becoming more select in their thefts, as the value of the cars stolen last month exceeded that of September in the preceding year by $234,961. Persons operating automobiles in Manhattan were the heavier sufferers. Reports received by the insurance com- panies for September showed that 201 insured cars had been stolen fiom the streets and garages during the gerfod, against 113 in September, 1920 Brooklyn was next.in the number of insured automobiles reported stolen last month, with a total of 69, an increase of 31 over those reported stolen in Sep- tember, 1920. Twenty-one insured cars were reported stolen to the lnsum.uge companies in the Bronx during the same period, an increase of sixteen over the total for September of the precedins year. In Queens three| machiv:s were reported stolen last murvn, the same number as lar* September. In Staten Jsland four cars were reported stolen, agains* an absence of such thefts for Sptember; 1920.

New York, Oct. 14.—It's a long step from the tinkly temple bells of India to the rattle of the traps in a Broad- way jazz palace. So thinks Jal Cursetji Pavry, son of the high priest of the Parsees, a grad- uate of Bombay university and at present a student at Columbia. “We have much to learn from the west, but I wish the people were as fond of the spiritual as they are of amusement and diversion,” said the youth, who, when he returns to be- come a Navsari priest, a follower in India of Zoroaster. hopes to keep among his people the spirit of religion, of daily devotion of temple worship. Of America, the land that yegrly sends missionaries to India to teach the heathen, he said: “You are not religious enough. You need more spiritual life, more serious thought.” TAKES LONG TRIP.
