Seventy-five or 30 children from the two houses on Corbin avenue and the one on Hart street, occupied by chil- dren from the Klingberg Children's Honte, were moved yesterday into the new home on Rackliffe Heights.

Can Build to Any Time. The imposing edifice, which over- looks a most attractive beauty spot, is 80 constructed that at any time it is felt necessary another story or two can be added to it. The foundation and walls are built to mmrry much more than the weight they now sup- port, the floors are adapted for growth of the institution and the rooms are laid out so that the addition of 100 tmore children at any time would not Pe coneidered anything of a handicap 80 far as room is concerned Marvel of Efficiency. The new home is a marvel of effi-| cléncy, almost as interesting to visit as it is to listen to the remarkable story of the house, “Founded on Prayer.” The boys' gvmnasium, for instance, is a large room on the gtound floor. It has an eight inch einder base underneath the floor. On “top of this is a thickness of four inches of concrete, covered by two inches o6f chestnut flooring, which in ‘turn is covered by paper floor covering and topped off with a one inch hard- % %ood 'fintsh. The room is finished in _ewhite' ahd has overhead steam radia- tors so as not to interfere with the playing of games, ‘ Three Ovens in One Stove, Tfficiency again is seen in the ar- | vYangement and equipment of the large ‘Kitchén.

A swimming pool 10 feet wide and 20 feet long, will be one of the out- door features. This pool will be the result of a ‘“gentleman's agreement' between Rev. Dr. Klingberg, siperin- tendent and founder of the home, and a group of the older boys The agree- ment is that the boys will dig the pool, if Dr. Klingberg will take care of the expense of cementing it. The bargain is concluded and the pool will be built, three feet deep on one end and five on the other. It will be in the rear of the building, in the direc- tion towards the Shuttle Meadow club. The plan is to allow the boys the use of the pool one day and the girls the next. Beauty Spot In Front. The finishing touches will he added when a proposed circular flower hed, 40 feet in diameter, is laid out around the flag pole at the .top of the hill Trees and shrubbery will be set out, three roads will be built, branching off from the main road going up the hill, and the city has been requested to make the street into a more pass- able thoroughfare. . AMERICANS FOOL BRITISH. Evade Tariff on Motor Cars by Buying on Mainland and Coming as Tourists. London, July 28. — Commander Kenworthy scored neatly in the House of Commons recently. He pointed out that American visitors often wished to buy an American car, use it here for a few months and then take it back to America. They thought it hard they could not get a rebate of the duty of 33 1-3 per cent which the car has to pay before entering this country. Members laughed triumphantly. | “I've no doubt it sounds very fun- ny to tax Americans on their own| cars,” said Kenworthy, "but listen to | what happens. They go to the con- | tinent, buy the cars there, and then get them admitted to this country| duty free on the ground they are tourists. Wow cheer that,” he added emphatically. Tony Vernalie, one of the com- plainants in the case against Edward Recano, who is held under bonds for appearance in police court on charges of embezzlement, has commenced civil | action against Recano. Constable George Stark has attached property belonging to Recano and his e, for| $2,000 in a suit by which Vernalle seeks to recover $1,400. The plain- tiff claims that he entrusted 31,500 with the defendant and the latter in- wested it in Italian lire. The suit is re- turnable in the city court on the sec- ont Monday of August.
