Whitman Takes
Deciding Game

Showing a complete reversal of form.

night played the deciding game in their
basketball series, the local college be-

that is clever in the conception of the
author of the book, and while it has
been worked over by dramatizers, it is
yet good. For all that the audience
was better pleased with the scenery in
the third act than with the playing OF
the players. Spectacular scenes go
farther than real acting these days in
pleasing people, and last night the
yacht scene took the audience by storm.
Il is worth it, too. For never has there
been a better stage setting put on
here. The storm scene, which ended
the act, was very realistic with high
sea running and clouds racing across
the background.
''Brewsters Millions is a dramatlZa-
ton of George Barr McCutche on's
novel of the same name. The play
deals in the frankest manner with the
improbable and the impossible, and
this same frankness takes the audi

the scenes are realistic, until the smile
of good nature has spread over the
countenances of all.

CONCRETE CODE
MAY Be CHANGED

Notwithstanding the work OF revising
Washington's building regulations has
been but recently completed. there is
every probability that the section reIat-
ing to concrete construction is sched-
uled TO come in. for considerable dis
cUssion and. even, re-revision, at no
distant date.
In fact. the discussion already has
started on the question of the use OF
Cinders III concrete construction. New
York has begun to change its building
ordinances relating to the subject, and
local builders are watching the develop
ments in Gotham with no little inter
est. 1t is pretty certain that whatever
decision New York reaches will set q
strong precedent for the Capital City.
Washingt0n's regulation regarding the
use of cinders, builders claim, is good
enough except that its enforcement
practically is impossible. To have the
regulation complied with would require
an Inspector in every building In which
concrete is used, they assert.
For this reason. it has been suggested
entirely.
While a great amount of higb-class
REINFORCED concrete construction has
characterized building activity i'm the
principal American cities during the
Iiast year. on the other hand, il is as
ed, an alarming amount of dangerously
inferior work has. been done, PRINCIPAL
~, through the employment of cindeP
concrete The most dangerous element
in cinder concrete is that the mixing OF
cindeTs and water forms a weak sui
phoTtC acid, which attacks the re-enforc-
ing steel rods.
II has been proposed in New YorI,
10 absolutely bar the use of cinder con-
crete in the structural parts Of build
mgs.
