Regarded as Unsatisfactory.

What is regarded as one of the most I'M
satisfactory conditions in the business
methods Of the building department of the
District. according to builders and archi-
tects. is the alleged unnecessary delay and
red tape in securing permits to build. Be
cause of this delay for the past year
number Of builders and architects have
employed a representative to apply at the
building department and attend to the
necessary requirements. They contend
that their time is too valuable FOR them
to be kept waiting not only hours at
time, but in some instances for days.
They further state, although it is an ex-
ira expense to employ this representative,
1t is far cheaper than for them to hang
around the building department waiting
for attention.
Following the suspension of Inspector
Ashford. Commissioner West conferred

was decided. upon a decision made by
the controller Of the Treasury several
years ago, that Mr.. Ashford will be en-
titled to his salary.

When Goethe Dictated.

In Wilhelm BODIES Studies With
Goethe" an interesting chapter is made
up from the recollections of his last
secretary, Christian Schuchardt. OF
Goethe's method when he dictated
"NVilhelm Meister" Schuchardt says:
HE dictated with certainty and ra-
pidity which made one fancy that he
was reading from printed book. If
this had been done in quiet and with
out interruption, | would not have
marveled so much. But while the
work was proceeding there came the
barber, the hairdresser-Goeth had his
hair singed every other day and had it
dressed daly-the library servant, Of
ten the former secretary, his clerk, all
of whom had access to his study unan-
nounced. Friends called, the barber
gossiped, the librarian told about books
newly received, some member of the
family would enter and join in the CON
versation, and finally, when all was
again quiet, | would read the last
sentence, and the dictatiOn would pro-
coed as though there had been no in
terruDtion.

ORIGIN Of RIGHT Handedness.

According to one good authority, DR..
Cunningham Of London right handed
ness is Of great antiquity ana was at
tanned in the ordinary evolution Of man
by natural selection, But the condition
does not reside in the right arm itself,
for all the evidence goes to show that
1t is due to functional pre-eminence on
the left side Of the brain. This SUI
periority Of the left brain rests upon
some structural foundation, the origin
Of which is not explained, but which
is transmitted from parent to offspring.
Left handedness is due to the trans
ference of this structural peculiarly
from the left to the right side Of the
brain or more probably, to Il transpo-
sition Of the cerebral hemispheres, like
that which sometimes occurs in the
thoracic and abdominal viscera.
