Says Skyscrapers
Add to City Woes
Makes Traffic Perpendicular
Instead of Horizontal,
Says London Expert
London.—Skyscrapers have not
eolved and will not aolve the office
building problem In America, accord
ing to Raymond t'nwin, chief town
planning advisor to the English
Health Ministry.
Unwin has Just returned from a
visit to the United States, where
he acted as advisor to the New
York municipality on town planning
schemes.
In & paper read to the Royal In
stitute of British architects, Unwin
exploded the beliefs of people who,
he said, return from visiting Amer.Vca
with glowing accounts of the sky
scrapers, and urged the Institute not
to consider the introduction of tho
"upward" method of expanding
cities, which he considered a menace
to the health of the community.
"With every added story the ef
fective floor area per story is re
duced,” said Unwin, In discussing
the office building problem as relat
ing to New York, “the cost per
square foot is increased, while the
greater number of elevators required
take their toll of space from each
succeeding floor.
“Every story added tends to dark
en all the floors below;even In spite
of the bright light of New York this
is becoming Increasingly evident, and
the number of rooms In which arti
ficial light has to be used Is much
greater than in England,” continued
Unwin.
•'New York Is discovering that you
cannot dispense with transportation
by going up. You merely change the
horizontally moving street car for
the vertically traveling elevator.
“Increased height means increased
traffic congestion, while the darken
ing of offices and Its consequent In
jury to health and efficiency Is ser
ious. Eyesight is injured and tuber
culosis and other diseases are en
couraged.
“Amelca will have to find some
other way than the use of skyscrap
ers in order to expand Its cities,'
said Unwin In conclusion.

Pig’s Affection for
Cow Saves His Neck
Goldfield, Nev.—A little pig’s af
fection for a cow will save him from
the butcher.
Born in a slaughter house, the little
porker was presented to O. K. Reed,
Nevada cattleman, who took it to the
I.ongstreet Ranch near here.
At the ranch the five-pound pig
espied a cow nursing a calf. He took
advantage of the cow’s reclining posi
tion and “nosed in” for dinner. As
the calf was almost weaned the pig
returned regularly at meal times.
The foster mother accepted her
obligation, and whenever the porker
approached lay down to provide
nourishment.
Thi pig now weighs 200 pounds,
strictly milk-fed.

"Mercy me!” Mre. Cookie said with
* ehlvver, "I do hope the Hungry
Howloon does not return! It made
me feel chilly all over my cookie
body when he spoke of eating us!”
“I do not believe the Hungry How
loon will return!” the nice kind Snltz
noodle said; wishing to make Mrs.
Cookie feel happier.
“No!” He will not return, I am
sure!" little Weeky said.
But both little Weeky and the
Snltznoodle were mistaken, for In a
very short time, here came the Hun
gry Howloon galloping up to the
Cookie house.
“Ban! Bang! Thump! Thump!”
he hammered on the door.
)‘My goodness! He will knoch all
the candy icing off the roof!” Mr.
Cookie said "Then if we have a rain
we will be in an awful fix!”
“You run home!” Raggedy Ann
called through the door to the Hungry
Howloon.
*‘I shan’t do It until I have eaten
six or seven cookie people!” the
Hungry Howloon howled, “Hookie the
Goblin said I might eat them if 1
wished!”
“Hookie the Goblin does not own
the nice kind Cookie people!” Rag
gedy Ann replied, "and besides, there
are only five cookie people here!”
“Then I shall eat all five of them!”
the Hungry Howloon promised.
“Dear me!" Mrs. Cookie cried,
“What shall we do?”
“There is nothing we can do, Mrs.
Cookie!” Raggedy Ann said, "He will
get tired pretty soon and go away!*1
Then through the door Raggedy Ann
said to the Hungry Howloon, “You’d
better run home! Your mama wants
you. I am sure!"
•n-nu t. uni sura sne uucsn i want
me!" the Howloon replied, "Because
I told you once before, I haven't any
mama!"
Raggedy Ann couldn't think of any
thing to reply to this; In fact, she
felt sorry for anyone who did not
have a nice kind mama.
The Howloon waited a few min
utes, then he began thumping hard
er and harder on the door.
“My gracious! He will break It In,
In a minute!” Mrs. Cookie said.
And in a minute, that is Just what
the Hungry Howloon did. He broke
the door right eft of its candy hinges
and came walking Into the cookie
!' house.
The Hungry Howloon had never
seen either the Raggedys, the Snitz
I noodle, little Weeky or the Cookie
people before, so he did not know
which was whloh, "Show me the
cookie people,” he cried, “I am get
ting hungrier and hungrier every
minute!”
As no one answered him, the Hun
gry Howloon caught Raggedy Andy,
”1 ehall start eating this one!” he
said.
Raggedy Andy knew it wouldn’t
hurt him, even if the Howloon should
eat him, for Raggedy Andy was made
of cloth and stuffed with cotton, so
Raggedy Andy just smiled his paint
ed smile and did not say a word. Mrs.
Cookie though did not care to see
the Howloon eat Raggedy Andy, so
she said, "That's Raggedy Andy!
You mustn't eat him! I am Mrs.
Cookie! ”
Then the Hungry Howloon let go
of Raggedy Andy and caught Mrs.
Cookie, "Then I shall eat you!” he
said.
The Hungry Howloon broke the
cake door right off the candy hinges
and walked into the house of Mr. and
Mrs. Cookie.
He caught Raggedy Andiy first and
said that he would eat him but brave
Mrs. Cookie told the Howloon that
she was one of the Cookie people, not
Raggedy Andy. So the Hungry How
loon let go of Raggedy Andy and
caught Mrs. Cookl. "Then I shall
eat you!” he said.
The kind Snitznoodle and little
Weeky and Ragged^ Andy held their
breaths for they expected any minute
to see the Hungry Howloon start
nibbling on Mrs. Cookie, for she was
made of chocolate dough and covered
with candy icing.
The Hungry Howloon turned, the
Cookie lady over ana over. "Which
is the proper way to eat Cookie peo
ple?” he asked. "Shall I begin at
the foot, or at the head?”
"I shouldn’t begin at all, if I were
you!” Raggedy Ann saldi
"But I am awful, terrlblyest hun
gry!" the Hungry Howloon cried,
"And I am getting hungrier every
minute! Please tell me how to begin
eating, for I wieh to have nice table
manners t"
•j suppose l snail nave to wresue.
the Hungry Howloon!" Raggedy Andy
said, "For I shall not let him eat Mrs.
Cookie! ”
"You wrestle the Hungry liowloou
first because you chose first pop:”
the nice Snitsnoodle said, “Then, If
you can not Yr**tl* him hard enough
I shall give him a terrible hard
thump!”
“Ha, ha! So you wish to wrestle
me , do you?” the Hungry Howloon J
cried as he put Mrs. Cookie down ;
In a chair, “Then we will wrestle! j
But I warn you Raggedy Andiy that
the more I wrestle, the hungrier I
become, and I howl very loudly all
the time I wrestle t"
“Ha!” Raggedy Andy said as he
rolled up his sleeves, “Howl all you
want to, we don't care!*’
"Walt a minute!” the Hungry How
loon said, "It Isn't fair to roll up your
aleeves when 1 haven’t any sleeves to
roll up, I shan’t wrestle you!”
"All right!” Raggedy Andy agreed,
"Then I won't roll up my sleeves
either J”
"My!" But you would have been
wrestled hard If I could onl; j11
up my aleeves!” Raggedy Andy add
ed as he rolled his sleeves down again.
"ONE! TWO! THREE!” the
Bnltznoodle cried and Raggedy Andy
and the Hungry Howloon rushed at
each other. It soundtd like Raggedy
Andy had struck a bass drum when
he lilt the Howloon, and before his
friends knew what had happened,
Raggedy Andy had picked up the
Hungry Howloon and threw him clear
across the room so that the Howloon
hit against, the sharp corner of the
organ. The Hungry Howloon seem
ed quite surprised. He stood there
real still and everyone heard a low
whistle. Then they saw a sad look
spread over the Hungry Howloon'*
face and saw hi* knees begin to sag
under him. No one said a word un
til the Hungry Howloon shrunk and
wrinkled and shrunk until he ragged
to the floor and lay there, a wrinkled
heap.
“Why J” Raggedy Ann said In sur
prise. “The Hungry Howloon Is only
rnude of rubber and he was punctured
when ho hit the organ! Poor thing!
No wonder he was always hungry, he
was as empty as a foot ball.” And
Raggedy Ann felt so sorry for the
Hungry Howloon, she picked him up
and draped him over a cookie chair.
“There’s the puncture!” she said,
“Let ue fix It up and pump him tip
again! Anyway, look here!” she
cried. "The Hungry Howloon never
had a mouth, so he could not have
eaten the cookie people after all.
And this was Indeed true, so they
had all had their fright for nothing,
which Is often the case. ,
Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy
and their friends were very much
surprised when Raggedy Andy wres
tled the Hungry Howloon and threw
him against the sharp corner of the
organ In Mrs. Cookie's front, room.
For, when the Hungry Howloon
hit the sharp corner of the organ. It
punched a hole in him.
Then when the Hungry Howloon
shrunk and wrinkled and finally
sagged to the floor, they all knew he
was made of rubber, Just like a foot
ball.
Raggedy Ann felt sorry for the
Hungry Howloon, so she picked him
up and draped him over a chair.
“No wonder he was so hungry all
the time!" Raggedy Ann said. "He
Is as empty as a toy balloon! And
then too, he could not have eaten a
Single one of the Cookie people, fos
the Hungry Howloon has no mouth!-"
This was indeed true.
Raggedy Ann sent little AVeeky out
to the grocery to get a small tube of
rubber tire cement and while little
Weeky was away. Raggt*3y Ann sat
thinking and thinking.
Finally she said, “I feel sorry for
the poor Hungry Howloon! He is so
empty and hollow! Now if we could
only fill him up with feathers, or
cotton or something like that, he
would not feel so hungry all the
time!”
"Raggedy Ann always thinks of
some kindness!” the nice Snitxnoodle
said.
“That Is because Raggedy Ann has
a candy heart!” Raggedy Andy re
plied.
"It is very nice to think of nice,
kindly things!” the Cookie man said,
"And It Is very much nicer when she
thinks of the kind things after the
other creature has tried to harm us.
I too, feel sorry for the Hungry
Howloon and I think It would be nice
to stuff him with Ice cream and nice
things like that!"
"So do 1!’’ Mrs. Cookie said "I will
run out to the kitchen and get some
Ice cream!”
“But the ice cream will melt!”
Raggedy Ann said, “Let us All him
with cake chickens and lolly pops
and cookies covered with candy Icing
and things like that, then he will nev
er be empty!”
So Mrs. Cookie brought out six
cake chickens, two cake turkeys and
a stuffed cookie duck and Raggedy
Ann took a pair of small scissors
and snipped a hole In the Hungry
Howloon’a rubber side, so that the
cakes could ba stuffed inside.
Then they put in lolly pops but
took the sticks off first, so they would
not punch through the Howloon's
rubber sides and puncture him If he
sat down on them. This was all done
when little Weeky returned with the
tube of rubber cement and a piece
of patching rubber. And it only took
a minute for the rubber patch to Ax
the Howloon up almost as good as
new.
Then when he wee blown up, the
Hungry Howloon laughed and said,
“I am not a bit hungry any more, so
I shall not eat any of you!”
And Mrs. Cookie was so glad of this,
she hugged the Hungry Howloon and
told him he could always live at the
cookie house. So that is how an
other friend was added to the little
party, and why every one was so
happy.
