than a building of the serious character
required. 1t was suggestive of the bar
room and lunch counter in front. and tn e
faShiOnaLIy dressed dudes picking their
teeth in a comfortable sort Of way. Has
this disappeared in the evolution?
In the opinion of many good judges
there were better plans submitted both

adopted to get IL through. They say
they have no hope Of getting the Sherman

feat tho whole bill. They say their plans
arc all laid and the force Of fllibustcrcrs
