SET RECORD FOR BUILDING
New York University Put Up Eight
Large Buildings for Soldiers IN
Thirteen Days.

New York university set a record
In finishing an army barracks building
for the new students army training
corps in six days, says the New YORK
Tribune. This building was the first
of a group of eight needed for the
newly INDICTED soldiers at the univer-
sity. The entire group YVES compsetedi
In 10 days from the time the work
was started. Prof. Collins L. Bliss
head of the department of m~echanicaf
engineering at the university. super
vised this rush job of construction the
university authorities having contract
ed for the erection of the barracks as
soon as II was learned that New YORK
university would become an s. A. T.
G. camp.
The buildings are completely sealed
so they can be kept comfortably heat
ed by the big cantonment stoves
There are double floors throughout,
there is double sheathing on the out
side, and the walls are sealed inside
Each barracks conforms to the army
plan of 43 by 100 feet dimensions.
In the mess hall 1000 men are fed in
two shifts. High pressure steam o
ers are used. There are gas and coal
ranges, steam tables on which to keep
the food hot, and some kettles three
feet In diameter. A ~dishwasher oper-
ated by steam cleans 5000 dishes an
lour.
One of the university's graduate en-
gineers-7John Lowry, Jr.-was respon-
sible for the rapid erection of the bar
racks. Being engaged extensively in
government work, he was able to
throw in a large force of men, trans
ferred from other government work
that was finished.
The site Of the first barracks was
surveyed and staked and posts were
set In concrete in one day.

Labor REIMBURSEMENT is q subject of
greater Importance In france than In

of Belgium, perhaps-because so many
factories and commercial enterprises
have been destroyed by the war.

return to the work In which they were
engaged before the war. Their work

WHY TT is 'CZECHO-SLOVAK
Sounds Awkward, but Really Is the
Only Way to Correctly Express
What Is Meant.

Speaking of the awkward cognomen
of "CzechO-Slovak," the Independent
says it is partly due to linguistic acct
dent and partly to political e%xigence.
The old familiar name Bohemia" has,,
like the name SERBIA" a territoriaf
rather than q radical significance and
is too small to cover the clinical en-
tity on which the modern concept of
nationality is founded. The Sloyak
language is only dialetically different
from the Czech or Bohemian, but the
differences were >purposely intensified
during the nineteenth century to keep
the Hungarian branch of the race
apart from the Austrian. Even in
America Slovak and Czech newspapers.

can read the other language. Profess

the national flag OF the British empire.
IL consists OF three crosses combined,

George for England. of st. Andrew for
Scotland, and OF st. Patrick for ire
land. The original English flag was
st. Georges cross, red on n white
field the flag OF st. Patrick red On a
white field, and the Scottish flag was
st. Andrews cross, white on Il blue
field. History says that the united
crosses OF England and Scotland were
first used ON the flag In 1906 by order
OF King james, when sovereign OF tho
two countries. by his order the two
crosses were united In such II manner
