IMPROVEMENTS MADE
TO INTERIOR OF Bull DING
Ceiling Of American Security and
Trust Company Structure Is
Made Stronger.

improvements are being made in
the American Security and Trust
Company building. Thousands of
Washington people are familiar with
the big bank room. There is a floor of
white and gray marble set in geo
metric pattern. Near the entrance and
in field of white marble, ringed by
broad circular bands of gray marble,
is bronze medallion as big as a cart
wheel. bearing the coat-of-arms of
the United States and having the
words american Security and Trust
Company" wrought around 1t. Then
there are lines of compartments or
roomlets of bronze and heavy glass.
in which scores of men are active
during all hours of the day, and some
times of the night, in counting money
paying out money, taking in money,
keeping books and doing all the bank
jobs which seem so intricate and
mysterious to men who are not bank
ers.
Behind these cages rise the walls of
the banking room. For full story
they are of polished white marble
A bove that the walls rise in wide, tail
panels. each wreathed in golden vines
and each separated from the other by
futed plaster of martle. Then come
ca pitfalls and cornice ar d the arched
roof, all shining with - Id.

Bits of Plaster Fall.

Along the east side. that is the 18th
street side. of the banking room tiers
of scaffoding extend from the marble
floor to the arched roof. The reason
for this is that some time ago a Dit
of plaster got loose from the arched
ceiling and, obedient to the law of
gravity came down to the marble
floor. Inspection of the ceiling was
made and the inspector reported that
what had happened was trif1e and
that even such a trife could not hap
pen again. But it did. Another small
piece of plaster came down.
This was too much" said bank
officer "This is the American Security
and Trust Company, with strong
accent on each of the words 'Ameri-
can security and trust and no
such insecurity as loose plaster can
be permitted"
Workmen were sent for and scat
folding set up and now the ceiling is
as strong as the vaults. A handsome
bank officer, sitting at his mahogany
desk in a bronze glass cage said, IF
that falling plaster should have hit
a director on the head it would not
have disturbed US SO very much, but
1t might have hit depositor."

Members of Committee of
Commerce Chamber to
Seek U. S. Structure.

A special committee of the Chamber
of Commerce will make an investiga-
ton within the next few days to de-
termine II any of the war buildings
erected by the government in WASH
ington could be made available for
convention hall until the city can
obtain the erection of a big audi
torium.
This was decided by the directors

Isaac Cans. Mr.. Cans was made
chairman of the committee, to be as
sisted by John G. Capers, F. A. Van
aeuth, J. B. Henderson and Miss Mary
O'Toole.
Washington's need for convention
hall was emphasized again by a COM
munication from the American
Foundrymen's Association. inquiring
what facilities the capital could offer
for the associations next annual con-
vention.
A committee composed of Post
master NJ. 0. Chance, James T. Lloyd,
D. ]. Kaufman. Chaplin Brown and
Isaac Cans was named to make every
effort to get the foundrymen's con-
vention for Washington.
A proposal to lay out an automo-
bile tourists camp in Rock Creek
Park at a point south of the old
Pierce mill was presented to the
directors by A. G. Seller. manager of
the tourist bureau of the American
Automobile Association. It was in
dorsed.
Mr.. Seller explained that two such
camps are being successfully operated
at Marysville, Cal, and Ashland, Ore.
He said such camp in Rock Creek
Park. providing an attractive place
for camping out, would attract many
automobile tourists to Washington
during the summer months. He said
the proposal has been taken up with
Col Ridley. in charge of public
buildings and grounds.
Chaplin Brown reported to the di-
rectors that he was successful in
having stricken from the District
bill the proposal to transfer the power
Of appointing the board of education
from the judges of the District Su-
preme Court to the Commissioners.
He said he was hopeful the clause
would not be put back in the bill by
the Senate.

Constance had p1acards in every
store window in the city and not only
that but she had an added attraction.
gypsy dance by some Of the popular
younger girls of the town. The pic
ture was the story Of a gypsy girl and
Constance had arranged the gypsy
dance as a fitting Introduction for the
picture. OF course the first night was
a huge success.
What Constance did to keep the
people coming would fill! book. She
introduced children's matinees where
children accompanied by their par
ents were admitted free; she had
contests for de>iding the most popular
screen actor and actress; she often
introduced little prologues or sketches
which had some bearing on the pic
ture and always local talent took part
in these specialties,/ and she always
advertised in the local paper and with
the merchants in the vicinity. From
the very first night her theater was a
success.
Bought Bigger Theater
After the Dreamland had run for
two years Constance thought that the
city ought to have another, a larger
and better theater, and so the City
Amusement Company bought through
it's president, Mr.. Goldman, a large
old building which had been a stor'
age company, and made it over into a
first-class picture theater.
Constance Maybridge became the
manager Of the new theater also
She followed practically the same plan
with her new show as she had with
the old one, only on a larger scale
She introduced all of the newest ideas
which she heard or read about, one
being the nursery room where mothers
might leave their babies while they
went in to see the pictures.
After, the new theater opened Con

secretary to Mr.. Goldman, for her two

The company was not ready to d.

theater merely took the trolley in.

NATIONAL SELF
INDICTMENT IS
URGED ON HUNS
Cruelty Of Treaty Only
Brought on by Own Prac-
tees, Says Forester.
(By Associated Press)


BERLIN, Aug. 2S.-Professor F. w.
Foerster, Bavarian Minister to Switzer-
land, recommends an honest national
self-indictment" for the Germans.
Writing in the Tageblatt on the ques-
tons of war guilt and the conduct Of
the war, he says:
We must investigate our own part
in this world brutalizing process quite
as much as we should our opponents
abroad
Not until then are We able to under
stand the Paris decision as the tragic
result Of our own national guilt. The
ruthless cruelty with which we were
treated we ourselves practiced in the
occupied territory.
Should Understand Resentment.
Who ever has the slightest concep-
ton Of the rigorous measures We
adopted in the treatment of prisoners
and the systematic destruction CT in
dustrial plants and the deportation of
thousands of young girls will readily
understand the resentment OF the
French people.
I'VE must be perfectly clear in our
own minds in respect Of our own guilt
II we are to be born again nationally.
We must always remember that, while
the whole world is practicing the
politics of might, we on the other hand
have systematized the politics of might
and elevated it to new political
philosophy"

Constance Maybridge was an or
phan living in a small city in the mid
die west. She supported herself by
acting as stenographer for Mr.. Gold
man, one of the largest real estate
dealers there, who was also the owner
Of the only motion picture show in the
town.
Being like most young girls. she
liked the movies" and being in Mr..
Goldman's employ she learned a great
deal about the producing end OF the
business.
This one picture theatre Of which
the town boosted was an old made
over store, a regular hole in the wall,
called Dreamland. The seats were
just plain hard benches painted red
with no arm-rests and often so high
from the floor that there was no foot
rest either.
1t had never been paying PROPOSE
ton. Many were the men who had
tried to make money with it. Mr..
Goldman was just about to give up.
He was going to sell the fixtures and
rent the place for a store.
Now since Constance liked the
movies" she decided that the town
simply had to have at least one, and
SO she approached Mr.. Goldman with
a plan. She asked him if he would be
willing to help her start one.
She had learned a great deal about
booking; she was a fan herself and
went often enough to know what the
people liked, and besides that she was
sure that city Of the size of this
ought to be able to support not only
one but two or three such neighbor-
hood theatres. Mr.. Goldman said no
very emphatically. He declared he
had lost enough money on that old
lemon" as he called the place.
Formed Company.
Constance, however, was not easily
discouraged. and she asked him if he
would be willing to give her the use Of
the theatre as his share towards the
forming of company If she could get
enough other business men to forward
some real money.
Mr.. Goldman readily agreed, not be-
cause he approved Of the plan, but be-
cause he thought that she would not
be able to interest anyone in her pro-
ject. She did interest two men, much
to his surprise. although neither of
them would advance much money.
Constance decided that she would
have to get along with what they gave
her, but she insisted that she have full
authority in it's expenditure. After
many conferences this was finally
agreed upon, and the City Amusement
company came into being with Mr.
Goldman as the president and Con
stance Maybridge as the secretary and
treasurer.
The first thing Constance did was
to clean up Dreamland. She had it re
decorated and refitted throughout and
when she finished there was an at
tractive though small lobby and wait
ing room furnished in wicker and gay
cretonnes.
The inside of the theatre was finish
ed in soft shades and soft lights lent a
CHEEKY air which had never been pres
ent before. Before the opening night
there was not person in the city who
did not know that Dreamland was to

POWERFUL PILE
REMEDY DISCOVERED
Has Never Failed to End Most Obsti-
nate Case of Piles in Few Days.

For years 1t has been proved that So
called external remedies applied to or
inserted in the rectum cannot cure
piles and at the best can only give tenn
porary relief. Surgical operations also
do not remove this cause, but simply
the formation.
This wonderful prescription. known
as Miro Pile Remedy, is SO efficient in
the treatment of piles, that even chron-
ic cases Of from 20 to 30 years stand
ing with profuse bleeding have been
completely cured in from three to ten
days. Think of 1t! Just few doses of
carefully balances ed prescription and
the most persistent case of piles is alb
sorbed, never to return.
All pharmacists dispense Miro or can
get 1t for you on short notice. Surely
It's worth the little trouble to obtain it
to be rid Of piles forever.
IMPORTANT--What Is known as
itching piles are not piles in the true
sense of the word. although this condi-
ton may accompany true case of
piles. For this condition Miro Pile
Ointment has been prepared as in such
cases 1t is not necessary to take the
internal prescription.-Adv.
