Ell PASO. Tex. October AFTER q
trip which they thoroughly enjoyed. but
are nevertheless glad Is over. Battery A
men Of the District of Columbia arrived
here today. and Immediately began the
work OF unloading the cars and estab-
fishing camp. They all seem pleased
so far with the camp assigned them. but
due to the large amount of work neces-
sary in unloading and establishing camp,
they haven't had much of a chance to
see the town.
Yesterday a short stop was made at
Tucumari, N. NJ to give the men a
chance to rest up and to give the animals
water and exercise as required by law.
There Is plenty of hard work ahead in
establishing camp. but the men are well
prtmed for 1t. for Mess Sergt. Dumpville
has been preparing menus that would
make frst-class French chef vanish in
shame. And there has been plenty of
grub, too.
No Damage to Equipment.
Not a wagon or gun carriage came
loose during the severe shaking which
the cars had on the way down. The
efficiency with which they were put
aboard and secured is due to the work
of Chief Mechanic Ball and Mechanic
Merriman. At every stop these two
artillerymen would make a trip the
full length of the train to see that
nothing had become displaced.
When the men struck Tucumari they
got their first glimpse of real prairie
land. and they noticed quite a change
in the temperature. the air being
warmer. The men had a Jolly good

high spirits. but still thinking Of the
girls they left behind them in Wash
ington.
Musician Louis Green gave an exhi-
bition in riding when the train stopped
at Shawnee. Okla. So anxious was he
men the District artillerymen were
that he made the mistake of getting
on the animal from the wrong side.
This was a signal for howls from his
comrades. Green dashed back to the
cars.
The artillerymen have learned that
not even the west is without its
hoboes A number of them tried to
board the train at various places along
the route, but they found the guard
harder to get by than are the regular
trainmen. Lieut.. Mohr was kept busy
a good deal of the time keeping the
hoboes of the train.

URGES ARTISTIC LINES
IN PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
Fine Arts Commission Considers Va
riety of Projects for Develop
ment in District.

Several matters concerning the ar
tistic treatment of public works in the
District of Columbia were considered
at the latest meeting Of the national
commission Of fine arts. These includ-
ed: Preliminary designs for the Key
bridge across the Potomac at George
town, the comprehensive improvement
of the water front of the city from 14th
street around to the navy yard, the
DEVELOPMENT of the Mall according to
the plans of the Mcmillan commission.
including the treatment OF the sur
roundings of the Lincoln Memorial. the
treatment Of masonry walls and build
ings in the Anacostia water park. and
the 18th street entrance to Meridian
Hill Park.
Disapprove School Buildings.
It developed during the session that
the commission as a whole was dissat-
isfied with the type of architecture
adopted for school buildings recently
erected In the District. The secretary
was instructed to suggest to the Dis
trict Commissioners that the present
architecture for school buildings and
similar edifices were not considered
nearly as suitable as the colonial type
Of architecture established in the Dis
trict by Washington and Jefferson and
exemplified in the Capitol. White House
and Octagon buildings.
The Elizabethan type employed IN the
Central High School and other, new
buildings was considered by the mem
bers as an unfortunate deviation from
the traditional and more suitable type
of colonial architecture employed in
earlier public buildings. 1t was stated
that the art commission was apprehen-
Give Of the future artistic development

policy of school construction is not
abandoned in favor of the more suit
able type Of colonial days.

Plans were approved for new treat
ment of Rawlins Park. located between
D and f and 18th and 18th streets. on
the south front Of the new Interior De-
partment building. The iron post and
chain fence will be removed and con-
crete coping substituted. Concrete walks
will be laid on traffic lines and at their in
tersection in the center of the park will
be erected massive fountain composed
Of a large urn supported by two allie
