riages, wagons and other vehicles
brought in from the South Side coun

ton From Garb of Ancient
Days.

To be really up to date this season
one must be some 1000 or 5000 years
behind the styles. And lest a young
matron on her afternoon promenade
down the Boardwalk at Atlantic City
or the beach at Newport make the ia
tai mistake OF believing that her new
frOck or sport suit Is really. new, let
the news be broken here and now
that the design of the fabric and pos
sibly even the style OF the garment
once graced the form of some Indian
girl in Yucatan or Peru.
ror the first time American design
ers are turning to one 1.-The Oldest
forms of decorative art, and the most
popular designs for this season will
be drawn directly from the handwork
of the ancient Indians of North and
South America. Not only will the de-
signs for dress fabrics be taken from
this source. but even models for gar
ments, hats, ribbons, handbags, etc,
will bear the Distinguishing marks of
that period.
Back of the whole movement to
give to modern dress designs a touch
OF the simple art of ancient Americas
stands the American Museum of Nat.
ural History in New York. American
designers OF women's dress goods and
garments were invited to make what.
ever use of the collections OF the
museum they cared to. and the result
has been surprising. One ribbon com.
pany has spent $4,000 putting on the
market designs copied directly from
Indian exhibits.
Previous to the opening OF the great
war American fabric makers had
three courses that they could pursue
in obtaining designs. One was to
steal outright Paris and European
designs: the second was to buy them
at a tremendous expense, and the
third was to have their own designers

pleted when the work was stopped
by a Government order. change
was contemplated which would add
another story to the seven stories
provided for in the original plans.
This change would have necessitated
heavier steel in the upper construc-
tion. For two months the Govern
ment departments debated the Ques-
ton, finally deciding to go ahead with
the original plans. These two months
were practically lost. The contractor
might have asked for that much eN-
tension of contract time. He did not,
feeling confident that he could make
up the delay.
The contractor was only fairly I'M
der way again when he received a
second official stop order. This time
the Government was debating whether
to proceed with the original plan Of
making the exterior walls of brick.
After holding up the work for another
two months, the officials decided to
use limestone instead OF brick. but
informed the contractor that he
would be allowed four months addi-
tional in completing the building.
A New Hardship.
The change presented many diff
,culties. 1t was a question whether
the stone could be delivered on so
short notice. 1t was necessary to
make drawings for each stone used
In the building, an enormous task.
But the contractor took the extension
of time, which ordinarily would have
been nine months instead of four
months, without grumbling and set
to work to finish on schedule.
e The difficulties inspired some I'M
usual building methods. Interior
walls were bricked up in some cases
before the delayed steel was in place.

the girders. The penthouses on the
roof were built before the roof itself,
for the roof steel was delayed, too.
Finished floors were laid frequently
with material on hand and then pro-
tected with planking so that the
heavy structural materials could be
trundled over the floors without in
jury to them. By such methods vic
tory was won.
