In that way he will avoid the strain on his nerves caured by fretting, worry and the per- petual grouch.

O'Hara Coprriaht, 1919, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New York Evening World.) Fs guys used to put a sign ont in front of the movie house when @ spicy film was showing. Sign read, “No children under 16 allowed.” S. R. O. sign was put out immedi: kiddies just suited the hard-boiled eggs. Landlords have swiped the idea from the movies. Now put the “No children allowed” sign on all apartments. And there's no need of saying that it's Standing Room Only in all the apartments. Always has been and always will be—till they make the apartments bigger. Old-fashioned hard guys used to say, “Children should be seem and not heard.” Landlords have gone ’em one better. Children are not only not heard in apartments now—they ain't even SEEN. It’s against the rules in all the leases, Bottom has dropped out of the stork market. Santa Claus no longer has a chance to come down the radiator pipe of an apartment. No-children clause has gone and beat Santa Claus, Landlords are making it easier then for Santa. Have cut down his calling list something fierce. Coupla more years of no-children leases and Santa’ll only have to visit the orphan asylums. Night before Christ- mas not a kid’ll be stirring all over the house. Or any other night. Land- lords are making the world safe for race suicide. Apartment trust don't care how many wives a guy's got so long as he’s short of children, Kids are now classed with book agents, peddlers and bicycles—KBEP OUT! Ice man and grocer can get in the back way and burglars can enter by the second story, but the kids are nix. Land- lords have got some queer dope on the human race. Seem to think the race is all over. Guy that rents an apartment to-day has got to prove he ain't a pick- pocket, panhandler or parent. Landlord admits children are all right in their place, but not in HIS place. Only things that are allowed to run around modern apartments are water and the bellhops. Children are as welcome as the hith price of coal and assessors. When the stork arrives at an apartment, moving van arrives the following day. First child is always the last straw for the landlord. Getting so a baby’s prayer at twilight is no longer for its daddy over there. Baby’s prayer at twilight is for some place to spend the night, You've gotta go out on a farm these days to raise anything at all. Makes no difference whether it's kids or cucumbers, the country’s the only place you can do it. Landlords are doing a big favor to city communities. In about fifty years every tank town will be a metropolis and New York’ll only have two trains a day. Apartment with all the modern improvements now means It contains no nursery. Landlords figure a nursery’s a nuisance, not an improve- ment. Up-to-date family now gets a garage for its youngest runabout. Onelegged flivver is more welcome than a two-lunged baby. Apartments bar children on account of the noise. Figure the kids'll keep the neighbors awake after the talking machines, pianolas, dumb- waiters and visiting milkmen have let ‘em get to sleep. A guy without children that comes home after five hours of terrible toil ain't tn condition to let a pink-toed monster cut in on his sleep. Not much! A decent apart- ment where childless couples live should be so quiet you can hear a pin drop. And in that kind of apartment you generally CAN hear a pin drop— every night. Only it’s a rolling pin, and it drops on some husband's scalp. Fanny thing, but the fussy folks that can’t stand children’s noises are the ones that appreciate jass music. These birds have a soul for music bat no heart for kids. They'll subscribe to charities and kick in for benefits, but when It comes to kids’ noises they bolt the ticket. A selfish gink is still one that would rather hear the steam pipes rattle than an ‘infant coo, Yes, times is tough for the progeny these days. The milk trust's agin ‘om, and so is the food trust. Even takes a big crap game to get a pair of shoes for Baby. And now the apartment goblins soak ‘em. Welcome sign on the doormat now reads “For adults only,” but they'll still take in children at the public schools, And that's about all.
