It was the thought of or. Yick Wong that apartment residents migh with beneficial results to themselves establish a kind of Cliff dwellers secret organization or Tong. He has been thinking Over the subject for a Long time after Reading some pieces in this column written somewhat in a spirit of pers Flage on lilo difficulties of Hunting apartments and the tribulations moving coupled with his own experiences or. Yick Wong advances the suggestion that we Nomad renters devise a system of secret signals or Marks in principle they be based on the world wide secret code of those knights of the Road known in this country variously is Trumps transient.--, or by mlle Stit is. These Gentry invariably leave a secret Small and unnoticeable scratch or Mark for the Benefit of a following fraternity brother or the Gat Post or Fence or doorway itself of a House where they have been Well or ill treated. Thus a tiny Pencil or Chalk or scratched Hieroglyph May convey such vital news As lady bawls you out but gives pie or lady gives Sand wich but no pie or warning vicious dog in Back Yard or lady want Wood Cut before giving cats or1, scram lady Calls cops. These hieroglyphs Toul constitute i language in themselves known to none but inc initiated and placed where whitewashing or painting is insufficient to make them illegible. Or. Yick Wong thinks such a system could be devised by an apart ment dwellers Tong. An infinitesimal Zero might mean for example positively no heat after May 1 or a Little Zig Zag neighbors next door play radio full blast at 7 . Or a Small Corkscrew Mark people in apartment above hold late parties and dance or two intertwined circles meaning necking in hallways at 3 . None of these interests me my Mark would be a tiny Circle with wings indicating sea gulls Fly Here and squawk at 5 . Have come Back generous landlords might be equally favored with a smal Square indicating lots of heat on cold Days the year round or a tiny Broom indicating spotless hallways the possibilities As i said Are infinite the system would also relieve tenants preparing to vacate of that intense embarrassment when a prospective mover in escorted by u Stern rental agent asks if there s anything with the apartment. Who has t seen the unfortunate movers out Quail under the fierce Eye of the agent und reply weakly no they re Only taking1 a Cheape apartment when All the time they re thinking about the boys next Doo falling upstairs at 2 .? it s an old chinese custom. I m told that in United states Chin towns tenants who have a grudge against the landlord leave a certain Mark or the door meaning subsequent occupiers must pay the departed tenant else it works too told.
