United States and that these 1890 con-
tracts were based on price Of $40 a

Baron Won Der Lancken and DR..

To Walter Lyman Brown. director Of
the commission for relief In Belgium
at Rotterdam, that they had been ap-
pointed by the German government
to negotiate with Mr.. Hoover for
food supplies, and that they desired
Mr.. Hoover to advise them when and
where he would meet them.
In answer 10 the request for n con-
ference, Mr.. Hoover sent this
message:
"YOu can describe two and half

provide quarters for these gentlemen.
However, we cannot promise them
doughnuts or jam, and to this extent
they will be obliged to recede from
their former standard OF living.
Perhaps your boss, Wilson, will
reconsider his newest line OF business
before we grab OIL more of his young
people,"
Well, the boys did go along at ex-
press speed. But fast rs they went

"Hands Across the Ses" May Come
True At Last
A Washington paper'says:

The nationwide celebration Of
Britain Day is evidence that Great
Britain's part In the great war hAs
brought about tremendous change
Of heart In this country and has won
the respect, admiration and good will
Of the American people. Great
Britain, on her part, feels that while
tho cost to her Of the war has been
beyond her most soinber forebodings,
her priceless reward for her sacrifices
10 this same change Of heart In the
American people.
The truth 10 that Briton and Yank
arc too closely knit by blood ties tn
be always good friends; cousinship Is
an awkward relationship and jars
happen In the best regulated families.
1t 10 now evident, however, that
Great Britain intends to meet Amer
ica at least half way In getting to-
gether. Sir r. L. Borden, Canadian
premier, speaking at the annual
Thanksgiving Day banquet Of the
American society In London, put the
situation fairly. He approved the
plan to form . league Of nations, but
insisted that England and America
arc able TO command the peace Of the
world by acting together. He said:
"United by ties Of race, language,
literature and traditions, the nations
OF the Britannia common wealth and
the states composing the great Amer
lean republic can command the peace
Of the world. They could have COM

Improving Appearances

Competition is the mother of improvement Progress
issues from strife and the of progress IS always in
direct ratio to the severity of the contest
1t is doubtful if any condition ever contributed more to
the dement of cys appearance than did the unSghty
gasoline filling stations that dotted some OF the most prom
inent Washington corners few years ago.
Constructed in the most fimsy manner-with attempt
at decoration except that given by the careless use of brush
and pail of red pantwith weeds growing rampant all about
them-they indeed an eyeSore to the city,
But the stations proSpered financially and other firms
attracted to the business 1t not until this summer
however, that firm conceived the idea that it might be
good business well civic benefit to pay regard
the appearance of the station itself.
Stations of unique and attractive design built with an
air of permanency surrounded by well kept gronndS made
their entry into Washington during the present The
idea met with universal approval Various oil companies be-
gan competing at once for supremacy in beauty and attractive
ness well in business Within two months the rivalry has
reached such point that today cannot find single re-
manning red painted shack anywhere in the District.
1t lntereSngto remember that the Improvements have
all been made nhe aceof various kinds of opposition by the
local authorities. Competition has urged the various owners on

COLORADO CITY BEGINS
BIG BUILDING EFFORT

Fort Collins, Colo, is one Of the
smaller cities in which an after-war
building campaign is making prog
ress. According TO reports. fifty build
ings have been begun during the past
two. months and many more are
planned for the near future.
In Fort Collins the balance between
dwellings and places Of business has
been well maintained in this new con-
struction work, each home erected be-
ing Offset by a store. All the build.
ings are substantial. and special at.
tention has been paid to architectural
beauty and TO interior decoration.
''The activity has surpassed even the
hopes of the city's strongest Op-
says the Fort Collins Courier.
NO one could have predicted that so
soon after the close Of the great war
the people Of the district could have
readjusted themselves to pesc9 time

SEEK TO PROMOTE
ART IN BUILDING

Interest in beauty as we'll as utility
is manifesting itself throughout the
country in the new private and public
structures being erected in the ma
tionaI "Own Your Own Home" cam
paign. Artistic ideals are being fol-
lowed by architects with an earnest7
ness that assures the country of Il
tractive as well as useful buildings.
Landscape architecture has its part
in the plans projected in most cities.
The development of the garden as a
part Of the home idea is extended to
its community relationship wherever
possible, so that in the wholesale
home building that is going on in
many cities the beautiful in construc-
tion may be assured.
While the plan ofthe American Fed
Grafton Of Arts to make a tour OF thc
country for the purpose OF improving
the public taste by the exhibition Of
pictures and statuary is praisewOrthy,
the application of art to everyday af-
fairs. must be made concrete, it is
pointed out, II ii Is to have a speedy
effect For this reason exhibitions of
wallpaper, rugs, curtains, artistic in
design have been provided in con-
-nection with a number of the local
campaigns.

lecture and the grouping CT houses.
with a view to the best general effect,
have also been shown with good re-
suits in a number of cities.

BUILDING OUTLOOK
GROWING BRIGHTER

while It appears certain that most
commodities. have reached a stabil-
lied price level and that there will
be no radical or immediate recession.
there are Indications that some build
ing materials, particularly lumber
and brick, will go even higher" says
the American Architects weekly re-
view. This is due mainly to the
fact that during the war construc-
tion supplies. as a whole. failed to
share the advance Of other commod-
ity groups, and because there Is
shortage Of more than a years pro-
duction.
There can be no hope of reduced
living costs until the shortage OF
commodities is overcome by greater
production This production must
come through increased efficiency in
plant facilities and methods of opera
ton. Labor is the largest item in
the cost OF production, and is strong
ly affected by the cost OF living. In
creased output alone can reduce the
cost Of living.
With the return OF something like
stable conditions in the building field
the country occupies a most advan-
tageous position. Conditions in Eng
land. for instance, are much worse
than here. There steel has advanced

'sThe increase in the American hg-
ures is rather remarkable, as they
can only be given in full up to the
end Of 1917, when the Uni.cl States

ent During 1918, the Swiss Bank

Of America increased their deposits by
