THE Pan-American Union has con-
tributed not a little in the way Of
art to Washington. The building itself
Is peculiarly artistic in design--a notable
piece of architecture. Its sculptural
adornments are well above the average
in merit and the fountain in its inner
court or patio is extremely noteworthy.
This fountain was designed and modelled
by Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, and is in
the spirit Of the Aztec work, though by
no means initiative. Most recently two
other artistic features have been added.
A landscape setting most admirably plan
media work Of art without question-and
a pavilion and pool, both Of which have
been most decoratively tiled.
The use Of tiles for outdoor decoration
has not been extensive in this country,
but is coming more and more Into vogue.
and as the demand increases the manu-
faoture not only becomes more extensive
but In quality improves. Some strikingly
fine work has been done in. the way OF
tile making in this country within the
last few years. The tiles used In these
auxiliary buildings Of the Pan-American
Union are an example; another instance
are those used in the floor of the new
Episcopal Cathedral at Detroit. The lat
ter were made in Detroit at the Pewabic
pottery, the former were made by a firm
in Pennsylvania. Both are well suited to
the purpose for which they have been
employed are pleasing in color and agree
able In texture. Tiles OF this character
supply . new medium for artistic use.

Already about $50 claimants have
appeared for the relics from the wreck

board the collier Leonidas. Under the
terms of the law, distribution Of the
relics Is to be made among municipal
tiles. patriotic societies. survivors OF
the Maine and the relatives Of the vic
tins of the disaster.
The articles. comprise a strange and
incongruous collection. ranging from a
few six-inch guns down to brass but
tons and crockery. There are plenty
OF air ports. rubber mats, bits OF
woodwork. tools-even sewing ma
chine and a boat anchor. Some six
inch shells are destined for monumen-
tai purposes.
To obtain any Of these articles for
NAL application must be made to
specially appointed board at the navy
department. and only associations and
persons within the purview of the act
will be recognized as proper appll-

FRENcHMEN THOUGHT 1T JOKE
Ambassador Jusscrand's Request FOR
an Outdoor Sleeping Porch Not
Taken Seriously at Home.

The French government has obtain
ed a permit, blueprints and full speci-
fications for fine new embassy build
Ing here in Washington. AS French
architects rank among the best In the
wonld. the building will probably be
an attractive structure. with hard
wood floors. modern plumbing. glass
doorknobs and decorated to suit.
But ]. j. Jusserand. the French am
bassador. isn't certain whether the
place is going to be anything much
or not. In some respects the houses
that are shown in the daily papers suit
him much better. and he has made
bold to tell the French government
so.
lnasmuch as Jusserand is going to
live in the place. his government as
sumed. quite logically. that he and his
wife would have some little curiosity
to see the plans and note the loca-
tions Of closets and bathrooms. So
they sent him blueprints showing the
front, side and rear elevations and the
interior arrangements.
Jusserand promptly wrote back to
his government saying he wished.
while they were about it. that they
would build house with few Of the
more modern conveniences. For ex-
ample. he pointed out no American
thinks Of building a house nowadays
without an outdoor sleeping porch and
also a cute little screened porch
where they could serve afternoon tea.
Jusserand's letter caused much con-
sternation in his native land. The
French officials couldn't figure out
why a few years residence in Amer
lea should give high born citizen SO
many barbarous notions about archi-
lecture. After several weeks they an
swered his sleeping porch communica-
tion and told him they enjoyed his lit
tie joke
"Of course, you cannot be serious"
they said. 'in wishing to sleep public
ly. The outdoor porch might be very
nice for an American hunting cabin
with its picturesque log finish. but for
an embassy building located in the
heart of city. any arrangement for
one to sleep out on the porch would
no doubt excite much funny comment.
Furthermore. we do not know Of any
recognized school of architecture that
provides for a special porch to sleep
on"
Jusserand threw up his hands with
a despairing gesture on receipt OF the
letter, asked for one more window in
the front bedroom, and let 1t go at
that.

the rear were two secret servic0
agents. At Fourteenth and F streets
stood an aged negro. typical of the
halcyon days of "Or Virginny." His
hair was gray. and he leaned heavily
upon a gnarled. unfinished hickory
stick. His head was bent by the
weight of years; In his lusterless eyes
was look of perplexity. Suddenly
he beheld the approaching form of the
president and shambled forth from
the protecting wall OF the Ebbitt
house.
"'Scuse me, sah." he said, touching
his battered hat politely. as he barred
the presidents progress; but kin yo'
please be SO kind as to form me whar

The president smiled; Major Butt
looked puzzled; and the secret service
men sprang forward.

ably; you walk one block to the treas

blocks to your right, and then one

Mr.. A. T. Thompson closed his
work for the present as our Sunday
school superintendent with some very
touching farewell remarks last Sun
day. The school responded in the
following resolutions:
Whereas, Mr.. Armond T. Thomp-
son is severing his official connec-
ton with our school, as we'll as 9th
er local ties, public and personal, be-
ing constrained by his family's re-
quirements to make change of res
idence, at least for a time: Be it
therefore
Resolved, that this school has
been especially favored in having so
long enjoyed the benefit-always so
freely given-of Mr.. Thompson's uni
que qualifications and all-round per-
sonality touching so many sides of
LEGAL community life, social, intellec-
tual, moral and religious; an aggres-
sive but broadminded leader, an Or
iginal thinker, yet conversant with
and respectful to other persuasions;
public speaker and preacher of un-
usual power and acceptability in no
wise suffering by comparison with
his professional associates; a teach
e of wide reading and the ability to
use it for both profit and entertain
ment in any circle; a consistent ex-
ample of up-to-date Christianity and
conservation to the best things; the
recognized peer of men of brains in
the outside world, and foeman
worthy of their steel, "a light set on
2 HILL" not to provoke antagonism,
but to meet halfway the serious in
quirer in the school or busy mart.
Resolved, That, as the truest COM
pliment in our power to pay him.
this school will treasure as a leg
acy the example of Mr.. Thompson's s
work already done for our school in
the most critical period of its his
tory, and not LAY it up in nap
kin" but will strive individually and
collectively to maintain the pace he
set, which, while difficult, will be no
less stimulus to our endeavors, by
the same Divine favor which may be
ours along with the new RESPONSE
bility.
Resolved. That our thanks are
especially due him, busy man,
whose services for the higher good
Of the community have always been
rendered for the services sake and
for no Interior motive.
Resolved, That our best wishes
and prayers go with him and his fam
lily for safe journey and for their
prosperity in all that they may under
take and wherever Providence shall
lead them, It'll we meet again" Be
It further
Resolved. That these resolutions
be spread upon the minutes OF the

given to Mr.. Thompson.
