Officials Accumulate Anti
ques and Curios Which
Are Filling Corridors in
All Government Buildings.
BY JONATHAN WINFIELD.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Govern
ment departments in Washington with
in the next few years will resemble
an old curiosity shop If the present
art is maintained in accommodating
antiques and curios Although the ma
uonal museum, the United States Nu-
scum, the Smithsonian institute, Med
ical museum and Congressional library
are filed with things that are OF in
terest TO the visitors. each govern
ment department has its own little
museum or collection which its strings
along its corridors for the benefit OF
tourists. In some of the buildings
there is not space enough to show
the collections that have been gath
cred and they have been consigned
to the storage rooms in the basement
of the building
In the war department for instance,
the upper floors OF the big building
are crowded with exhibits OF all
| kinds. Not only can one see the va
riOus uniforms worn by the sOdiery
Of the United States government al
different periods from pre-revolutiOn-
AIRY days to the present time. but one
can see exhibits of sculptors' work. of
the artist, and models or the defenses
of the United States along the coasts
and island waters, as we'll as OF bat
tleships.
Exhibits FIJI Corridors.
All of these exhibits are placed in
the corridors of the building, usually
on the top floor. this part of the
building not being used to the extent
of the lower floors.
In the state department wing of
the state war and navy building the
portraits of former secretaries of
state, of senators and foreign diplo-
mats adorn the walls of the secretary
of states office and or the offices of
his subOrdinates. In one instance the
picture Of a foreign diplomat has been
relegated to the messengers room.
On the navy side the corridors are
filled with models of the first and last
step in naval architecture and CON
struction. The model Of "Old Iron
sides" looks like a penny sail boat of
chldhOOd days alongside of the mod
ern dreadnaught as typifed by the
model of the Wyoming, which stands
