THE CITY IN PICTURES

VIE ATI commission or the city
of New York has gone into the
= business of preserving land
marks. Not literally, for if that
were the case the Astor House might
not have been torn down, as we'll as
many other famous old structures.
The preservation, therefore, is limited
to what can be accomplished by pho-
Biography. AS a result of this new ac-
tlVlty fifty photographs have just been
received at the City Hall offices.
That the preservation by camera of
the very old houses of New York has
not been any too early may be Judged
from the fact that three of the build
1ngs included in the collection have
been torn down since they were pho
tographed. More than dozen of those
selected for the collection are likely to
go at any time. The Art Commission
has secured but one example of an
ancient Bronx homestead-the Van
Cortlandt manor house, which was
built in 174S. Just below Spuvten
DuyVil creek, at the extremity of
Manhattan Island, they obtained a
photograph of a typical Dutch farm
house which was built in 1884. This
house is stated to be the only gen.
uine farmhouse OF an early date on
Manhattan Island, and it is proposed
TO move 1T for permanent safekeeping
to the new Isham Park.
Six splendid examples of the COM
Portable farmhouse of Dutch architec-
ture, which was common when apri-
culture was the chief occupation of
the residents in the great territory
now comprised in Brooklyn, are in
cluded in the collection. One of the
most wonderfully constructed houses
OF this type still stands in what was
formerly called the Flatlands. IT has
attracted the attention of architecrs
for the neatness and harmony of its
Dutch design.
These fifty photographs of some of
the ancient buildings in the different
boroughs of New York represent but
the nucleus of what the members of
the Art Commission hope will lead to
a large and comprehensive collection
of interesting landmarks. Apart from
the historical interest attaching to
such collection, the pictures will also
possess a genuine architectural value.
This is a work that Harrisburg
might copy with much profit. The
Dauphin County Historical Society has
limited collection of historic pictures
and the Capitol Park Extension Com
mission has had photographs made
of many old buildings, but no attempt
has been made toward the preserya-
ton of complete set of pictures of
ancient structures that are almost
daily giving way to more modern
ones. Not one of these old houses
should be removed until a record of
its existence and appearance is filed
away in the Photographic archives of
the CITY, How valuable such a collec-
ton would be in the future may be
judged from the interest that at pres
ent would surround series of pictures
covering the past century in Harris
burg.

In labored editorial, this morning,
the newspaper apologist of President
Wilson in this city tries to excuse him
for not participating in the great me-
mortal services at Arlington Cemetery
to-day. Not a word is said about the
fact that he spent last Memorial Day
motoring in Virginia, nor is there any
allusion to the other fact that he was
almost dragged to Gettysburg for a

of the armies of the North and South

Business men in Pennsylvania and
elsewhere will doubtless crowd into the
polling places next November to endorse
by their votes an administration which
has shown no appreciation of business
conditions or of business needs, but
goes merrily on its way ripping up
business, putting workingmen into idle
ness and destroying the confidence of
the people so that utter ruin stares

To Retain English Thateh Roof.

A strong appeal is made to lovers Of
English rural scenery. landowners,
stock breeders and others in favor of
retaining the thatch roof for rural
cottages and farms. It is remarked
that there are few. II any, lovelier arti-
fetal things than a matched English
cottage or farmstead. and none that
have become more completely a part
Of the tradition and the spirit Of Eng
lish landscape, of the rural scenery
which has for centuries inspired the
work Of the greatest artists and poets.
The thatch of these buildings, 1t is
regretted, is to a large extent giving
place to iron roofs in many parts Of
the country, and the aim is to pre-
serve matched roofing where possible.
One of the supporters of the movement
quotes famous live stock auctioneer,
who said he had never seen stock do
SO well as when brought up under the
thatch roof, as 1t is warm in winter
and cool in summer-very important
factors in bringing a young animal
along, more or less. under a moderate
temperature.
