year the total was ahead of either of
the preceding years. To be sure, not
all of last years plans were for work
at the national capitalize Commits
sion now including in It's operations
the consideration of projects for gov
eminent monuments on battlefelds
and other outside work -- but in the
main these vast expenditures are for
improvements in the District of CO.
lumbia.
And on the other hand the totals
of the projects approved by the Com
mission do not include the eXpondi-
lures for identifying the u. S. Capitol
building nor yet the vast OUTLAWS which
are being made by organizations and
individuals for the Improvement of
Washington, In explanation of the
exception made in the case of the u.
S. Capitol it may be stated that Con-
gress having It's own architect in
whom great confidence reposes, has
not seen fit to place its home under
sion. All the same Congress Is maxi
ing a big contribution to the trans
formation Of Washington. Every year
sees important additions to the sculp-
ture ana art treasures at the Capitol,
latterly 4 tidy sum has been expended
upon tree surgery with the purpose of
preserving the historic trees on the
Capitol lawn. and, most notable of all

vlded for a commission of fine arts
money was to be expended upon art
work. However, this body was short
lived and after that, although bills
having some such object were from
time to time introduced in Congress
1t was not until after the close of the
century that the national Legislature
again took action to secure expert ad-
vice as to how best to beautify the
capital city.
In the year 1901 Congress took up
the task of providing an enlarged and
improved park system at Washington
an undertaking that may be said TO
have been the forerunner of the pres
ent ambitious effort to glorify Wash
ngton-and in this connection sought
expert advice on somewhat the same
plan that has now become a fixed
policy. Finally in 1910, four years ago,
Congress established the present per
manent Commission of Fine Arts, the
work of which in furtherance of the
identifying of Washington is just now
becoming so strikingly apparent.
Uncle Sam Is A Lavish Spendcr.
That your Uncle Samuel is not stint
ing In laying out money to beautify
the headquarters Of the nation may be
surmised from the fact that during
the first year of its existence the Fine
Arts Commission passed upon forty
one different projects the contract price
of which aggregated more than Sl6,-
100000. The next year the new work
amounted to about 100000 and last

quarters in an administration build

Washington" is pre- eminent. For
years Washington has enjoyed the dis
tinction of possessing more statues
of men on horseback than any other
city in the world and now the fair city
is rapidly attaining prestige in other
monumental fields. For example Fed
eral taste seems to be running just
now to fountains and several notable
examples have been erected within a
short interval A particularly artistic
fountain has been erected in Mcmillan
park as a memorial TO the late l.. s,

One of the new explosives for war
purposes is trenitrotoloul, Familiarity
