servatism that considers the interests Of
the public as well as of the company.
No Attempt at Display.

There is also another feature about the
new home which may be characteristic Of
the policy of the company, and that is
the absence from the treatment of the
great banking room of any attempt at
display. The color scheme is designed in
tones of quiet, refined taste. and, instead
Of being stunned by glare of color, the
eye is rested and refreshed by the har-
monious tones and the excellent proper
lions of the room.
The entire first floor which in its height
is equal to two ordinary stories as far
back as the entrance to the Office portion
of the building occupying the upper
banking room. The rooms to be used by
the patrons of the safe deposit department
are in the rear of the main ROOM while
the vaults are downstairs. South of the
entrance to the offices on 18th street is
the section of the building devoted to the
uses CT Thomas J. Fisher & Co., which is
the real estate department of the COM
pany.
1t is evident from a glance at the ex-
terror of the building, with its fine pro-
portions and graceful outlines and beauti-
full ornamentation, that the company had
something else in view than mere utility
when the design was selected. If the
purpose had been merely to get certain
amount of space inclosed from the
weather the walls, either of stone or of
brick, could have been run up merely as
walls. Such a structure would have
served the purpose, but it would have
contributed nothing to the adornment of
the city or the qualification of the eye
Instead of erecting rectangular
building of plain outlines. classic de-
sign was selected, enriched with orna-

FOR PERMANENT HOME
UNIVERSITY CLUB SECURES
THE MYER PROPERTY.

To consider proposition Of purchasing
or leasing the old Myer property at 18th
and 1 streets, opposite the Army and
Navy Club. the members Of the Univer-
sty Club held a meeting last night at
their clubhouse, 16tn and X streets north
west. 1t has been definitely decided that
the club will change to the new and
larger quarters, and the question OF
financing the scheme was the chief topic
considered at the meeting.
Charles D. Walcott, director Of the geo.
logical survey, who is the president Of
the University Club, presided over the
meeting, and P. L. Dougherty. chairman
of the house committee, led the discus
sion. Nearly 100 members were present.
In order to provide funds for the pur-
chase Of the new clubhouse, it was de-
cided to start subscription lists at once,
and last night at the close of the meeting
many promises Of funds were made by the
members
The building at 18th and 1 streets. Il is
declared, will suit the purposes Of the
club much better than do the present
quarters. 1t is larger structure, ana
the rooms are arranged about a central
first floor, Ii Is planned, will be used as a
reception room. The plans of the pro-
posed new clubhouse have been on exhi-
bition for several days. This exhibit and
the argument used at the meeting last
night, 1t was stated, have aroused the
members to active interest in the project
of securing permanent home.

TO OCCUPY NEW HOME
UNION TRUST COMPANY WILL
MOVE TOMORROW.

In the history of the Union Trust Com
pany tomorrow is destined to be day of
note, as it will begin the transaction of
business in its new home at the south
west corner of 18th and H streets. The
large and beautiful structure of granite
has just been completed, and as it was
built by the company for it's own use it
affords all the facilities required in carry
ing on business of the character in
question.
There is no reason to suppose that the
company will not continue to increase its
business and its activities in years to
come, as 1t has since its entrance upon
an active career in the financial field of
this city, but even in view of such an
obvious and natural result it is not prob
/ able that the spacious provision which has
been made in the new structure, will be
| ever outgrown.
| In fact. a feature of the new home is
plenty of room for everybody, not only
| for the patrons of the company but for
the officers and the employees. 1t may be
inferred that the policy of the company in
| its methods Of doing business is typified
in this structure, so that it may be con-
| cluded that the scope of the business is
broad and generous and also that it is
done on substantial basis Of a wise con-

LONDON, December THE gale which
brought disaster to the Multi Secundus,
the first British military airshp, taught
the officers OF the balloon corps at Alder
shot lesson from which they have al
ready profited by recognizing that a mis-
hap during an extended cruise may neces-
state n sudden descent some distance
from Aldershot, and they have set to
work to discover suitable natural shell
tiers or aerial harbors" in various parts
Of the country.
A special map has been complete upon
which is defined in red places which have
been specially chosen, such as hollows in
woods, shelters at the foot of hillsides
and deep gravel pits. where an airshtp
may descend in case of emergency and
lie sheltered against gale. Aeronauts in
future cruises will be equipped with this
map. and should a quick descent be nee
essary will steer rapidly toward the near
est harbor.
