oriain of the Greek Church.

Apart from theological siiscuSsions such as those rising from the addition of the. words. "and the son." In the creed. the separation nf the Latin and Greek churches may he traced to the founding of COnstantinOple and the political division of the Roman em. pire, according to Bible student. !gnatius. patriarch of COnstantinOple, had been depnsed. and was succeatied by PhOtius. who summoned Il council of the East in S87. and passed sen tence of communication on the bish- np of Rome. The churches became re- united towards the end of the ninth century. and remained 50 until the middle of the eleventh century. when In 1O54 Michael Cerularius. patriarch of the Fast. renewed the cOndemna- ton of the Latin church. and was in turn accommodated by Pope Leo TX. Efforts toward reunion were made from time to time, and at Fer rara (1439) the Greek prelates signed q decree of union. but were forced by the people and clergy to repudiate It. Since then the two cOInrnunlOns have remained separate.

Eight Hours and Health.

To the Editor of The Star:
Advocates of an eight-hour day for
the federal employees in this city ap-
pareAtly overlook one important fact
bearing on the subject Physiology sets
up the boundaries of efficiency in what
is known as inactive sedentary en-
ploynent- The man who has active
outdoor employment retains his physi-
cal and mental energy longer than
does the man who sits at a desk. The
human body is laboratory in which
is constantly being manufactured pois-
onous waste matter. In the scheme of
nature means have been provided for
the elimination Of this waste from the
system. Were it not so man would
promptly die of self poisoning Just
here is an important point-viz the
man in sedentary employment does not
ENJOY the same means of throwing off
the body poisons as the man who leads
an active outdoor life. Two points in
physiology bear on this subject The
man in Office must rebreath foul air
thereby taking on poisons instead of
throwing them off. The man whose
activities are in the open air constant
y exercises his physical organism, and
In doing so dislodges the waste mate
rial which has accumulated in the
body, and through the activity of the
lungs. liver, kidneys and skin, elimi-
mates the same from the system In the
case of the sedentary man, these elini-
native processes are allowed to rerna in
inactive in a vary large measure. un-
der which conditions both the physical
and mental faculties lose in vigor.
When man in sedentary occupation
reaches the period in the days duties
where he is overtaken by the tired
feeling. the laws of physiology demand
that he betake himself to the open
where recuperation may take place for
the ensuing days activities, for all
work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy Since the mind is a more deli
cately adjusted machine than the
muscle, it follows that mental occupa-
ton cannot be measured by the same
standards as occupation which depends
on physical activities.

TO EXPEDITE WORK
ON NAVY BUILDING
According to Design Will Be
the Largest Structure in
Washington.
PLANS WAIT ON CONGRESS

All building records in this vicinity
probably will be broken in the con-
struction of the new office building for
the Navy Department Provision for
that building is contained in the
urgent deficiency bill now in the final
stages of enactment. The measure APP
propriates SS,152, 500 for office buildings
for the War and Navy Departments in
West Potomac Park and for several
subsidiary buildings fer bureaus of the
War Department in Seaton Park be
tween Az and 9th streets and Maine
and Missouri avenues.
All Will he very large buildings, but
that intended for the Navy Department
will be much the largest 1t is de-
signed to house ti:e entire admins
trative force of the naval establishment
in this city. with the exception of the
HEADQUARTERS Of the Marine Corps and
the photographic office.
Marine headquarters is located in the
Naval annex. a leased building on New
York avenue. between 1Ith and 18TH
streets. and the photographic office
occupies the temporary frame building
adjoining it on the east, known as the
Corcoran building.

War Department Structure.

The building for the War Depart
ment. which will be erected in the park
about 120 feet to the west of the Navy
building. will be constructed in a more
leisurely maner and may not be ready
for use until the fall or winter. 1t will
be of the same general plan as the
Navy Department building, but smaller
1t will be 464 feet long on the +
street side, with eight wings, each
having an extreme depth of $50 feet.
That is some building, too. when it is
realized that the Capitol building is
| but 151 feet long by $50 feet wide. The
secretary of War and his chief as
sistants will retain their present quar-
tiers in the building at 18th street and
Pennsylvania avenue, and the projected
building will be used by bureau Of
hcials and employees.
The southwest end of the new War
Department Will be short distance
from the new Lincoln memorial. and
that structure will be obscured from
view from the immediate northeast
The grand vista between the memorial
and the Washington Monument and
the Capitol will be carefully preserved
however.
Because Of artistic objections to hav-
ing tall smokestacks near the Wash
ington Monument, it was specifically
provided that the big heating plant
for the War and Navy buildings should
be located outside of the park some
where near 18th and D streets, about
half a mile away.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-03-06
Effort to Hasten Construction.

Special efforts are being made to
hasten the construction of the Navy
Department building, for the reason
that it is desired to obtain the rooms
now occupied by it in the State. War
and Navy building for the use of grow
ing bureaus in the state and War de-
partmentS. Therefore in anticipation
of authorization by Congress. plans
have been already completed for the
Navy Department building and ar
raDgementS have been made with the
Turner Constructing Company OF New
York to begin its construction imme-
diately upon the approval of the act
of Congress.
The building will be located in West
Potomac Park. extending from u short
distance west of 18th street to a point
near the line of 10th street. As
planned. it will be in the shape of a
comb. with nine long teeth or wings
be 500 feet long on b street and the
wings Will be 30 feet in depth. Ire
structure will be three stories in
height and will contain about 90. 0Uu
square feet of floor space These di-
mansions are greater than those of
any other building in the National Cap
ital, exceeding those of the United
States Capitol. the state. War and
Navy building and the United States
pension building. The wings are each
TO he sixty feet wide and forty feet
apart. There will be three entrances
on Is street. one in the center and
one near each end. Besides containing
all modern improvements the building
will contain large restaurant, dis
persary, rest rooms neach wing, ac-
commodations for automobiles and
motor cycles and other conveniences
for the employees.
Although described in the act as q:
temporary office building" it is spe-
cificaliy provided that it shall be con-
structed of reinforced concrete. Per
sons familiar with such construction
say il is as enduring as stone or brick
and that under ordinary conditions the
projected building will last as long as
the Washington Monument or any
permanent Office building in the city.
Everything is in readiness for begin
ming work on the new building at once.
The site has been entirely cleared and
the contractors have erected a large
two-story frame building a the edge
of the park, at the foot of 18th street,
for housing the inspectors and operat-
ing force.
Clearing the ground involved the up
roofing and replantinG in another part
of the park of about 5000 selected
trees, including many fine hemlocks,
and the obliteration of twenty-three
tennis courts. The historic stone lock
house near the corner of 18th and &
streets is the only improvement of
that section of the park not affected
by the new construction work. If the
are REALIZED the new Navy Department
building will be ready for occupancy
by the first of July next. 1t is admitted
that ii will require considerable huStling
on the part of all concerned to do it,
but II Will be done, they say.
