 The members of the Joseph E. Johnston Chapter Daughters of the Confederacy held an open meeting today for the pur- pose of celebrating the birthday of Gen. Robert D. Lee. The meeting was held in the music store of Brewton & Co.,, on the public square, which had been decorated for the occasion, and many attended the exercises, which were both instructive and entertaining. Mrs. Aurora Mcclellan read an ably prepared sketch of Lees life and Miss Bernice Jackson read a delightful paper giving record of General Lee. Mrs. William Thomas Sanders, president of the local chapter, presided with charming grace. Many old Confederate soldiers were present by special invitation.

THE MODERN SKYSCRAPERAND HOW
 IT IS RUSHED TO COMPLETION
t

N @ R. W. c. WESTON, architect IkNHI in charge of the construction INVI of the Woodward office 0OS building at the corner of First avenue and Twentieth street, said yesterday that he was expecting con signments of steel for the frame work in a few days The first will be due early next week. The cassons upon which the basement columns will stand are nearly completed and there will be no delay In getting the steel work under way.
 Fifteen or eighteen months are re qured in erecting and finishing a large, solid fve-story structure where stone, brick and wood are used instead of steel. A ten or twelve-story steel building can easily be put up and finished inside of nine months, even in cities where the mechanics have to be brought from distance as Is the case in Birmingham. In New York and Chicago, where steel building are the rule, the time con- sumcd Is not over six or seven months.
 To those not familiar with the method of rushing up a modern sky-scraper the accompanying engraving reproduced from the Iron Age will be of interest. This building Is at the corner of Broad way and Maidenlane, New York. It will be noticed that the masonry is carried forward at the same time in three dis tinct divisions. The brick work may be started on any of the upper stories just as well as on the ground floor. On the Woodward building the brick work will begin on the first flood, but masonry may be carried forward on some of the high CT stories before the lower masonry IS completed
 People living in cities where sky-scrap- CTS are common are accustomed to rapid work, indeed, to Aladdin-like effects in building operations. although constructors have not reached the point of putting up and completing a handsome building in A night. Only a few weeks are neces- sary to introduce a new feature In the sky line, and in two or three months the inside flnishers are at work This speed,

 been aptly described as a steel frame with masonry overcoat. As the Iron Age says, the speed at which the metal work can be assembled is only controlled by the delivery of the steel and the hoist ing appliances. It Is evident that many gangs of men can be worked simultane- ously without being crowded or without interfering with each other. One of the most interesting things to watch in the manipula tion of this steel framework is the hoisting.
