ALL-METAL APARTMENT TO RISE IN CHICAGO Outside Walls of Building: Only 312 Inches Thick. Bf/ Timm Special CHICAGO. Aug. 25.—What is 6aid to be the first all-metal apartment building is soon to rise in Chicago. Its wall will be faced, on the outside, with a gleaming silvercolored alloy of chromium and aluminum. When a layer of rock-wool insulation is added, the outside walls, only three and a half inches thick, are expected to be as retentive of heat as walls of brick. The seven-teen-story building will have long “modernistic” window panels of glass and will be warmed electrically.

Butte of Austin, an assistant United States attorney-general. Sterling biography reads like a typical Alger story. He came from the swamp lands of southern Texas as a young man without education, capital or friends to seek his fortune. Today he is one of the richest men in the state. Sterling’s first business venture was a sardine store in the Sour lake oil field. He later worked as an oil driller, and finally purchased two oil wells.

Emerson Brown, director of the Philadelphia zoological gardens. “Surprising as it may seem,” Brown declares, “the deer—that mild and gentle creature of the woodland—is one of our real sources of trouble.
