REACAN'S EXES ARE OPENED Local Democeratic Chairman Surprised by English Political Meetings. SCANT COURTESY TO THE ORATORS Areland in Much Better Than England Today, Beeanse of the Benefits Flowing from Land Parchase Act. Condition Juhn B, Reagan, chalrman of the demo- eratie county committee, has retur ned from & business trip to Ireland. He has with him a blackthorn stick Cor Mayor Dahlman and a new notion of politics. “I did not see or heat.of one political meeting in the United Kingdom that did not break.up In a row.

I never saw so much poverty and misery in my life as exists in England, while similar conditions are fast disappearing in Ireland, except In isolated instances. Englishmen have said| to me that they would delight to see the Irish land purchase act made to apply to thelr country, And I do not wonder at the wish, for you may travel for hours through parts, of England that are entirely given over to game preserves and otiler uses that X the land uncultivated and unproductive. The most useless parts of the lordly de- mesnes have been set aside for the loca- tlon ot villages, and they look most sterile and unpromising. “Every man in the British Isles, it seemed to me, carried a cane or stick, even the “" clerkts In the stores, and they stick to thelr notlons in England most tenaclously. I ordered a suit to b made and tried to have it cut @nd tailored like the one I had on,{ made hdre. The tallor would not make it that way; toid me I really did not know what the latest correct cut and make was. It was like every other man's sult over there, so I was not fnade uncomfortaple.

When he heard Omaha is as large as Bel- fast he was astonished. He wrote of this city as being In ‘far-away-- western America,’ and intimated that I, like every American, \was boosting for the United, States. He congratulated me when I told him I had quit newspaper reporting to study law, indicating that newspaper men are not millionalres, even n Ireland.

To some life in a hote. constitutes the ideal home, hav- ing no responsibilities or cares. Others prefer a_detached house in which they have to do their own janitor work, keop up the heating plant, mow the lawn, etc. Still others prefer; what they call the happy mediym between these two modes of live and live in a flat. A flat uces the labor of housekeeping to a minimum, for livlng In a hotel could hardly be called housekeeping. Selecting a home is ' like selecting & wife, every man must choose to his own taste and what sults one man may not suit another. The principje advantages of a flat from the housekeeper's standpoint are the close assemblage of rooms on one level, the :?r ready supply of hot water and having care_-whatever of the heating plant. From the standpoint of an\investor, a flat provides from two to any number of homes in & minimum amount of space. A two flat flat building usually goes by the name of a duplex house. When the-bulld- ing contains more than twelve flats it Is commonly | called an apartment bullding, and in the later case there are in each flat seldom more than three or four rooms. It is the universal opinion among real estate mén that a five or six-room flat will rent readily and for as much as a seven or eight-room flat, and they certainly cost more to build. They give as a reason for this the fact that people with large familles do not live In fMts. Most real estate men put a ban on small children. This 1s no doubt a kindness to the children for fiut bulldings are certainly no place for growing children where their frolics must be resticted in order to keep peace with the nelghbors.

Owing to the temancy of flats being rented to small families it has been found advisable to connect one of the chambers with the parior or living room by a wide opening so that when the chamber s not needed as such it can be used as a library or sitting room. People who live in flats do not figure on paying rent for a guest chember, Every style of home can be traced back to some form of dwelling used by primitive man. The bungalow is the development from the one story, frail homes used In various parts of the world experifencing frequent selsmic disturb- ances. Take Japan for a good. example, wl’,)"re selsmetic disturbances are very fre- qyent, the houses are made of the ra- terials least effected by them and most of them are only one story high. 8o it fs sald that flat buildings are the gutgrowth of the primitive homes of the cliff Awellers, | combining the bungalow ldea of placing | an entire home on one level with the clitf dwellers habit of housing a number of families in tiers, one above another in a single rock. In fact, residents in. large apartment houses are sometimes jocularily referred to as “cliff dwellers.” The idea of placing as many homes used ons roof as possible s sometimes carried to the ex- treme by investors. One man remarked to the writer that he had to go out doors when he wanted to smile because he lived in a flat. Another sald that his flat was not wide enough for a dog to wag his tall in. The flat should not be so narrow or the rooms so small as to bring forth such Jocular remarks. While people have come to expect small rooms in the modern flat, that would hot be satisfactory in & detached house, a flat with good sized rooms will invariably rent for more and keep its tenants longer than one which has rooms so small that they |ate continually- dissatisfied with them.

People who live In flats do so because they like its conveniences and they much prefer living oo & car line or very close to it than taking a half mile walk, which the suburbanite prefers in the in- terest of his health. The eost of-flat bulld- i6gs varys according to size and finish, the same as all other bulldings. The higher up' the bullding goes the more the cost ot the foundation and roof is distributed among the flats, thereby reducing the cost of every flat in proportion to the entire bullding until you get up four storfes, | when, after that, the distance which the | materials have to be hauled up and the inconvenience of doing so commences to in- créase the cost of h ditional story, and since the rent of the upper storles is not as great as’ the lower storles, there 18 a helght at which flats will not be profitable unless there are so many in the bulldin |as to warrant providing kn elevator, TINELY REAL ESTATE GOSSIP Race Against Time Again Begun on Brandeis Theater.
