BROOKLYN LIFE 16 i jiotet i Argentinians living in the bleak, desolate wilds of Patagonia. Armed only with a boleador (two heavy balls of metal fastened together by several yards of tough rawhide), the hunter sets out in the spring on his annual guanaco hunt. Each hunter carries supplies for several weeks and a number of changes of horses, as guanaco hunting is hard on horseflesh. On sighting a herd the hunter picks out a newly born calf and, whirling the boleador above his head, races toward the game. On nearing the calf the hunter lets fly with his boleador, the balls and cord tangling the animal's legs, which makes capture easy.

A young guanaco weiehs about as much as a small calf. It is of tawny color and when the skin is cured and made into a robe the hunter may realize as much as $10 for it. Although once found in countless herds on the Argentine pampas, the gnanacos are now becoming scarce, and the hunters are compelled to journey to the wilds of Patagonia to capture enough animals to make a living. -J SPLENDID VIEW u. 7v' "i wealthy, but that is actually what happens.

And how the audacious pinnacles of the city on the clear, sunny day fairly leap to challenge the sky. Whoever appreciates New York must sense the amazing power of her buildings. To live among them is an urge to creative activity. Like the men who design and build them, they are dynamic. There is a fascinating Old World touch about some of New York's buildings despite their modernity.

The American Telephone and Telegraph Company's Building is a baronial castle fed with the food of the gods and grown to giant stature. The Radiator Building is another in whose high turrets the mind's eye can almost see bowmen shooting their arrows. Also, there is the impressive beauty of sheer bulk the Graybar Building with its severe and exotic statuary, and, more recently, the New York Life, individual, gigantic. At night such buildings take on a mystic quality from the light that falls dreamily upon their huge buttresses. The light on the General Motors Building seen from Fifty-seventh Street is not less ethereal because it is shed by a hidden electric sign.

It is no cloistered charm that brings beauty to the eye in New York. It is the mastery of forces which its buildings suggest the glory of the sun by day the weird play of electric lights by night, performing miracles of beauty that New York freely offers to those who have eyes to see.

They are almost done too.

Most of them look pretty tired. The questions are coming now. Thick and fast they fall. So fast I can hardly hear myself think. I'll turn on the mike so you can hear the racket.

(Noise and yells.) Some fun today, I'll say. Bludgeon is trying to answer all the questions. All is commotion and it looks as if it would end in a riot. It sure would be some riot, what I mean. There, the bell, the bell just rang, and now, ladies and gentlemen, ends one, of the most exciting classes ever held in Mechanics.

No doubt a lot of enthusiasm and excitement today is due to the fact that the Junior Prom is tomorrow evening.

By Edward Sapir, in The Dial. Dr. Lillian Gilbreth, internationally known engineer and mother of eleven children, ivho will build a practical kitchen at the Comfort at Home Exhibition now in progress at the Half Moon Hotel, under the auspices of the Brooklyn Borough Gas Company. DR.

LILLIAN M. GILBRETH TO BUILD KITCHEN FOR COMFORT AT HOME EXHIBITION Working with actual household equipment and assisted by a number of workmen. Dr. Lillian M. Gilbreth, internationally-known engineer, began Monday to build a practical kitchen, which will utilize every scientific means to conserve the time and effort of the housewife.

Mrs. Gilbreth will work all this week on the floor of the Comfort at Home Exhibition, which is now iii progress at the Half Moon Hotel in Coney Island. Dr. Gilbreth has undertaken this at the request of Miss Mary E. Dillon, president of the Brooklyn Borough Gas Company, who commissioned her to build a kitchen which would best meet the needs of housewives.

The kitchen itself and all of the equipment used in it will be planned scientifically and will be placed so as to eliminate all duplication of motion in kitchen work. Architects and engineers, who have been working for years on the problem of designing a practical kitchen, have expressed interest in Dr. Gilbreth's project, and will inspect the work when it is completed. Robert L. Davison, director of research of the Architectural Record, commenting on the experiment, declared, that in his opinion, the ideal kitchen, from the standpoint of cost and efficiency, has not yet been created.

In most cases, he said, the kitchen is designed with slight regard to the functions it must perform. He mentioned the present-day tendency towards building kitchens in units, such as the compact gas refrigerator and gas range, in order to save moving around. Dr. Gilbreth is well equipped for the task she has undertaken. For many years she worked with her husband, Major Frank Gilbreth, on a project known as motion study, 'which had as its aim the simplification of work methods through the use of the most effective activity and the elimination of all unnecessary fatigue.

Since his death she has continued along this line of research. Recently much of her time has been devoted to advocating her idea that the principles of industrial engineering can be applied to domestic problems. Miss Dillon is especially anxious to give the benefit of this work and experience to women in the home and she hopes to accomplish this through the creation of a scientifically ideal kitchen.

NEW YORK'S VARIED BEAUTY Why do we hear so little about th2 beauty of New York? We hear about her ugliness, her size, her noise, her skyscrapers, theatres, banks, but scarcely a word about her beauty. The beauty exists for those who have eyes to see. It is a tantalizing beauty compounded of great heights and depths, of lights and shadows, of stars above the Hudson, of an enormous moon, full-faced, lighting the corridors of skyscraper-lined streets.

To walk toward Manhattan across the Brooklyn Bridge at night is an adventure full of the same thrill of mystery that forever haunts the Egyptian Pyramids or the Colisseum of Rome by moonlight. The mind is sent whirling into space as the eyes leap upward from the harbor past the dark skyscrapers into the star-pricked blackness above. The Woolworth, the Standard Oil, the Equitable, the Bankers' Trust buildings are in a gentler mood than they are by day. Their austerities are softened and they stand silently like darkened peaks. The drabness of the mean buildings crouched at the feet of these splendid giants is effaced.

There is beauty in a view of Manhattan at night seen between a framework of trees from the Jersey Palisades the long regular row of electric lights stretching the length of Riverside Drive; the towers of the Hudson River Bridge that will presently span the river; the dark water beneath the saffron sky set aglow by the city's street lamps the lights of the Great White Way and an occasional searchlight. The city is beautiful also by day. Walk down Park Avenue from Fiftieth Street one afternoon toward the colossal New York Central Building. The effect of the tall and massive hotels and apartment buildings on the east and west sides of the avenue, joined by the enormous skyscraper in front, is to turn Park Avenue into the nave of a mighty cathedral. Even the shadows playing about the tower of the giant building contribute to the beautiful and dignified effect.

One would hardly expect to have one's thoughts turned toward Europe's great cathedrals while crossing the residential district of New York's AT THE DRUG STORE Customer Gimme a beef stew.

Ah, he approaches.

He is in a grey suit. I think it is he. Yes, it is, it is Bludgeon, himself. He takes his coat off and rubs his hands together. He's talking now.

Just a minute, folks, and I'll let you hear him over the mike. (Sound of voice: "Easton, will you please raise the window a little, we can all think That was him, everybody, you just heard. He is advancing now to the board and he is rapidly sketching a bridge diagram on the board. It is a wonderful picture. It is in white and yellow chalk; really I can't begin to describe it to you.

The audience is now enthusiastically moving forward in their seats and thev are taking their pencils up to jot the information down. The chalk is flying fast now one can hardly see the board, the dust is so thick. They are fiehting fiercely now, the students are gaining on him. Oh, boy, this is some show. I wouldn't miss it for the world.

They are gaining on him. He is nearly done. He is. And he is wearily going over to his desk to catch a few moments of rest before the zealous class starts in with their questioning. Mother And now mother shall tell you the story of the good little girl.
