seventeen inches. to the end Of which
solid cast steel point had been attached.
Another 15-foot length was then attached
by means of drive couplings. This was
in turn driven into the ground and other
lengths added until sixty feet Of the tub
ing had been brought into use The
driving was accomplished by means OF
a steam hammer
An S0-foot derrick was then rigged ur
and one OF the long concrete piles sus-
pended in a perpendicular position. The
pile was lowered into the tube. Hydraulic
Jacks were then brought into play, and
after considerable effort the tubing was
withdrawn from the ground without al
tering the position OF the pile.
sRaft sinks DurIng Test
After being allowed to settle for sev.
eral weeks the end OF the pile projecting
above the ground was then loaded down
with a weight Of many tons and careful
measurements were made TO see II any
sinking OF the shaft resulted. This test
lasted for nearly a month and at the
end Of that time 1t was found that the
pile had sunken to such a degree that Il
was realized that this form OF founda-
ton could not be used because OF the
peculiar nature OF the ground on which
the building was to be erected. Had the
experiment proved successful more than
I.50o concrete piles would have been used
in forming the foundation.
Following the failure OF this expert
ment. II was decided that the concrete
pier form OF foundation would be the
best suited for the building. The piers
will be sunk deep into the ground and
viii be slightly larger than those usually
used In buildings Of this type.

urge the early enactment Of the bill the
provisions OF which are in force from the
time II becomes q law.
Mr.. Georges subcommittee also will re-
port favorably the bill calling for the re-
citaI OF the amounts paid by each IN
cases where the District and the United
States purchase Jointly a piece OF prop
erty, and directing that title for the
property be taken by each Of the parties
In the proportion they contributed to It's

proposed location Of improvements all on
joint purchases of real estate by the
United States and the District also will
be returned to the committee with a ia
vorable report.

sideration Of the committee, although, in

Hostile to CommIssIoner..
Inc ueHldnu TOT hearings comes from
a quarter admittedly hostile to the pres-'

that the hearings may be responsible for
the substitution of an appointed and dis

one provided for in the Oldfield and
Gallinger measures. These two meas
ures invest the District Commissioners
with the prerogatives Of public utilities
commission.
Mr.. Oldneld expects to call meeting
OF the subcommittee on judiciary this

meeting of the subcommittee is called,

ties measure is general and insistent, the
subcommittee viii grant hearings at that
time. There is little likelihood, however,
that the bill will be changed as TO the
personnel OF the proposed commission,

BURN BUILDING TO KILL GERM
Only Way to Get Rid Of Them, and
Occasion Was Made Good
Object Leseson.

A ramshackle building in Winston
Salem was recently burned at the re-
quest Of the local Anti-Tuberculosis
league. because it was said to be alive
with tuberculosis germs and could not
be PROPERLY fumigataed.
For days before the building was
burned huge placards announcing the
hour Of destruction were hung about
in prominent places. Among other
things the placards said: within the
past IL months two men who sold
fruit. ETC.. here have died Of tuber.
culosis. but unconsciously left millions
of tuberculosis germs by careless
splitting. The building is SO open that
1t cannot be effectively fumigated
The only practical means of dsin-
fecting is by fire."
At the appointed hour, while null
lions of tuberculosis germs were be-
ing burned. 5000 pamphlets telling
how to prevent consumption. were dis.
tributed to the crowd looking on.
