light two great granite heads of the
ancient Mexican god of the air. Quet-

feet specimens. bearing all the SYM

The long disputed point as to who
erected the pyramids is. as yet. un-
solved. These huge mounds, one to the

former being 761 by 72l feet at the
base and ZIG feet high. are generally
attributed to tribe that preceded the
Toltecs, probably dating from about
the sixth century.

COAL
WITHOUT SHOVELS
Modern Plant Of Government
Will Handle 500, 900 Tons
This Winter.
BUT FEW Men NEEDED

With the model fuel distributing yard
Of the country, Uncle Sam this winter
intends to dispose Of 800 900 tons Of coal
fer his government departments. with
not a coal shovel used and not more
tt an 120 men on the job.
The plant is located at Half and
streets southeast, short distance
south of the power plant for the Capt.
toll and Senate and House ONCE
buildings, in Immediate proximity to
the railroad route.
Machinery does all the work. All
that men are needed for is to han
die the machinery. The capacity 10
$4,000 tons per year. The coal Ii
distributed at the rate Of 1000 tons per
day during the winter months and at
about 500 tons per day during the
summer The plant has got into
permanent working order only since
machines to handle the coal was COM
pleted.
For Maximum Efficiency.
The object of the conduct of the
yard is to secure the maximum ef-
ficiency and lowest operating COSTS
with a minimum amount OF labor.
The older and usual method OF dis
tributfng and storing coal is to de-
liver 1t by railroad cars on trestle
and dump 1t through hoppers to
trucks for delivery. When the rate
Of delivery by railroad car exceeds
the rate Of delivery by trucks, the
surplus Is dumped on the ground,
from which 1t Is shoveled into trucks
during the periods when the rate OF
delivery by trucks exceeds the rate OF
delivery by railroad cars.
In either case the labor cost 10 ex.
cessive, for when the coal is dumped
through hoppers directly into the
trucks the interdependence OF the un-
loading force and the hauling force
is SO complete that 1t is practically
impossible to prevent the one having
to wait for the other a considerable
fraction of the working time, and
when the coal IL dumped on the
ground there is a considerable re-
handling cost. It was necessary
therefore, to arrange, In the perma-
nent yard, for the incoming coal to be
unloaded Immediately without being
dependent on delivery operations IN
any way, and, conversely. for delivery
operations to be equally independent
Of the labor force engaged in unload
ing the coal.

WASHINGTON Comes Under
Magic Spell of MuSic;'

advances the desire that in taking
over the. Department Of Community
Singing, the District would include not
only the community singing program,
but also the National Community
Chorus that has been formed out Of
the cooperation of the many units
organized for community singing
throughout the city.
The National Community Chorus
will be Of considerable civic value to
the city. This chorus, in its separate
units, IS now learning GoUnOd's Send
Out Thy Light" arranged for part
singing.
Community Chorus.
On September IL, during the PERISH
ing Day celebration, the National
Community Chorus made its first Of
fciaT appearance, being represented
by ten units totaling about 700 mem
bers.
For four hours, during the passing
Of the parade, this new organization
proved itself all that it was represent
ed to be. That is, tan organization pre-
pared to serve when needed.
Their motto, I'VE Sing to Serve"
proved very appropriate. For not
only did they keep up enthusiasm dur
ing the four hours Of the parade, but
at the close-when the crowds were
beginning to scatter-the National
Community Chorus rose and sang the
National Anthem" attesting the fact
that they were an organized body
trained in discipline as well as in
singing.
This one event removed the chorus
from the theoretical stage and placed
Il on record as a permanent factor Of
the Capital City.

The Municipality in Music seems to
be coming to the fore in Washington.
The prospects are that the great
stimulus TO music that Washington
received during the war will be con-
tinued. Not alone the~ people who
have chosen music as a profession,
but also the public, are brought
under the magic spell Of music in this
larger civic opportunity.
There il Is TO the interest Of the
professional musician, as well as to
the interest OF the community that
the sociological benefit of community
music be encouraged. Already the
General Civic Center at Central High
School has appointed a Community
Organist-" Before the war there were
perhaps three cities OF the country
who recognized the value Of such q
civic office. Edith B. Athey, organist
and choir director, has been given this
position for Washington.

Now the vast Community Singing
movement, that was inaugurated by

may become q part OF the city's well

aElOual Music.
-Recreatfonal Music" has proven
its worth. The present status OF the
case is as follows: I. H Weir, chief
executive Of the War Camp Com
munity Service, has requested Mrs. S.

paFtment Of the District, to take over
