is THE PRESIDENTS CHURCH
Many Prominent Men Have Worshiped
at st. Johns in National
Capital.

Historic st. Johns Protestant Epis-
copal church, just across Lafayette
square from the White House, in
which more presidents and men prom
inent in Washington official life have
worshiped than in any other church
in the national capital, has celebrated
it's centennial anniversary. The pres
ent rector is Hev. Roland Cotton
Smith.
st. Johns was the first building to
be erected on Lafayette square after
the White House, which was completed
in 1900, the Christian Herald observes.
The presidents of the United States
who worshiped here were John Quincy
Adams, Madison, Monroe, Van Buren,,
William Henry Harrison, Tyler, Taylor
Fillmore and Arthur, and in more re-
cent times the White House was repre-
sented by Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs.
Taft, who made st. Johns church their
church home.
Other prominent people were regu.
larly seen in the congregation, includ.
ing Stephen Decatur, Henry Clay
John C. Calhoun, Chief Justice Fuller.
Salmon P. Chase, Benjamin F. Butler,
Lewis Cass, George Bancroft, Winfield
Scott and George Dewey. Its rectors
officiated rat nearly all of the early
White House weddings, maay notable
ones having taken place within its
sacred walls.
The denominations have been pretty
well represented in the presidency,
Grant attended the Metropolitan Meth
odist church. Mckinley the Foundry
Methodist church; Benjamin Harrison
and Cleveland attended the Presby-
terrain church; Wilson is a Presby-
terrain and, like Cleveland, the son of a
Presbyterian minister; Garfield was a
member of the Disciples church and
Roosevelt attended the Dutch Re
formed church.

circulation OF afr. Strong gates with
sliding bolt locks are placed at the
corner Of each pen next to the central
passage. The remainder of the front
OF each pen is taken up with the
trough, above which q swinging gate
is hinged to swing into the pen, slid
ing rod stop being dropped down
against the inside edge Of the trough
to hold the gate open while the trough
is being filed. The same slide rod
locks the gate shut when it is dropped
down against the outside edge OF the
trough.
This building is framed in a simple
yet rigid manner. The roof is sup
ported by the two outside walls and
by two inside bents which define the
central passage. The extension of one
of these bents forms the wall in which
the piVoted windows are framed. A
vertical post is set at the inner corners
of each pen. The plate surrounding
these posts supports the rafters. Lat
eral bracing is spiked to the posts and
to the outer wall studs and also to the
two rows of posts Immediately beneath
the plate below the pivoted windows.
The foundation under the two rows OF
posts is not continuous, but consists
of a concrete pier carried down to
solid footing under each of the posts.
These piers are placed at the time Of
building the floor. One very good
method consists in embedding metal
sockets of suitable size in the soft
concrete above the piers in the exact
location of the posts which will then
be held firmly in place in the finished
building.
The floor plan illustration also pre-
sents a suggestion for the fencing and
open pens which might be used in
connection with this building. The
open pens are formed between the
south side of the building and the
main inclosing fence, which is II feet
from the building on this side. Nov
able fences are set up to divide off
the pens. On the opposite side OF
the building the inclosing fence is built
close to the wall to form a runway,
near the center of which it is intend
ed that al dipping vat be constructed.
This illustration also shows a feed
and litter track installation. The track
is continuous through the building and
out at each end, across the inclOsure

There are humid IDS of farms where
larger animals Earring thick hairy
coats are carefully housed through the
winter, while the hogs with practically
no hair to protect them, are left with
only loose board roof over them.
There are farmers who seem to be-
lieve that q hog is tough and that
certain amount of abuse is good for
them. Hogs are the most abused of
all domestic animals and yet they are
the most profitable when handled in
diligently.

Even IL I cared, I would not dare to

She took a step toward the door,
hesitated, came back, and put light
hand on his shoulder.
SIM sorry, dear Max"
She had kissed him lightly on the
cheek before he knew what she intend
ed to do. So passionless was the little
caress that, perhaps more than any
thing else, it typified the change in
their relation.
When the door closed behind her, he
saw that she had left her ring on the
arm Of his chair. He picked it up. It
was still warm from her finger. He
held it to his lips with quick gesture.
In all his successful life he had never
before felt the. bitterness Of failure.
The very warmth Of the little ring
hurt.
Why hadn't they let him die? He
didn't want to live-he wouldn't live.
Nobody cared for him! He would
His eyes, Lifted from the ring, fell on
the red glow Of the roses that had come
that morning. Even in the half light,
they glowed with fiery color.
The ring was in his right hand. With
the left he settled his collar and soft
silk tie.
Il. saw Carlotta that evening for the

"A lady!" she said, closing the door
behind her by way of caution. "And
a good thing for her she's not from
the alley. The way those people beg
off you is a sin and shame, and it's
not at home you're going to be to them
from now on"
So Il. had put on his coat and, with
out SO much as glance in Harriet's
mirror, had gone down the stairs. Car
lotta stood under the chandelier, and
he saw ut once the rayages that trou-
Bile had made in her. She was dead
white, and she looked ten years older

''Paclfism might work out In a million

Many professed pacifists. moreover, do
not believe In its doctrines. but are
trying 10 help Germany against the

II should be understood that what
Mr.. Darrow rejects II false paciflsm.
He Is apparently as much a real paci,

he Is as ardently desirous OF peace. as

one of Mr.. Hoover's food conservation
cards when a canvasser called at her

that she he'd fired her whole outfit of

a new set of servants tomorrow, II l

something frightful ! am going to open

That's the proper spirit. Certainly

with the government-which is to say.
with the American people-in mod
crate, sensible system of checking FOOD
waste ought to be fired. But who Is to
fire the women of Mrs. Griffin's own
class, intelligent women OF wealth and
leisure, who refuse to save?
Thousands of leisured women are do
ing noble work in this and many other
branches Of war activity. But there are
only too many wastrels among them
too many who treat the wise ana pa
triotic pleas of the food administration
with contempt.
There is only one tit penalty for such
women. II Is social ostracism. Ana
any woman Of Mrs. Griffin's spirit should
not hesitate to apply that penalty, any
more than she hesitated to discharge
her unpatriotic servants.

A TRIBUTE TO OUR WAR POWER

The big Tcutonc drive against Italy
one OF the two or three most moment
Gus campaigns OF the war, Is really
a tribute 10 the United States. II l.

motive for this drive was Germanys
desire TO gain a quick decision before
Americas weight could be thrown into
the war. The German general stan
recognized that, once we arrived at
effective participation. as we should In

would be doomed.
And the German staff for once, was
right. The day when the United
States really starts fighting. Germany
win really start down the last slope
of her military toboggan slide. The
only question then win be as to the
rapidity OF her decline and the com
pleteness of the victory with which we
and our allies will be satisfied.
IL was as a last. desperate chance to
forestall what would otherwise be the
inevitable failure of her war that Ger
many marshalled all the men she could
strip from every front, and plunged
headlong against Italy. 1t is held In
conceivable that Germany will ever
