Park Ave. Site
Is Chosen for
Victory Hall
Block Including Pershing
Square, Now Owned by
City, Is Decided Upon
by Association Directors
RIGHT
2O,OOO,OOO Campaign of
10 Days To Be Launched
Here Next Armistice Dav

The directors Of the Victory Hall AS
sociation last night decided unanimous
~ to erect their proposed mem orial
building on the block bounded by Park
and Lexington avenues and Forty frst
and Forty-second streets. This block
includes Pershing Square, former site
of the Grand Union Hotel, now owned
by the city.
This action Of the directors was
taken at meeting in their headquart-
ers, East Forty-thrd Street, almost
co-incldent with the advertisement is
sued by the city that the Pershing
Square parcel of land would be sold at
public auction to the highest bidder.
The Victory Hall bill which passed
the State Legislature and was signed
by Governor Smith last week, gives the
Victory Hall Association the power of
condemnation over any block within the
boundaries of the Greater City Under
the terms of the bill the purchaser of
Pershing Square will be compelled to
sell the site to the association, or sub
nit to condemnation proceedings, as
soon as the association is ready to
comence work on its memorial.
In addition to adopting the site, the
directors Of the association passed a
resolution setting the, ten days COM
mencing November II, next, Armistice
Day, for the campaign to raise the
necessary 100000 900 for the erection
of the MEMORIAL building;
ing last night, declared it was the pur-
pose of the directors to deal fairly
with all concerned In acquiring the
property. at will take a full year." he
said, "to complete the plans and struct-
ural arrangements for the great mem o.
rial and the directors believe that with
ample time at their disposal they can
reach a friendly agreement with the
city and the few private owners in
terested.
This will also give the owners of
business buildings sufficient time to
purchase other properties, or to build
elsewhere for the continuance of their
business, so that no hardships will re-
ceedings will be resorted to only if
all efforts to reach an agreement OF
purchase should fail"
The proposed Victory Hall will cover
the entire block. Upon the floor level
with the Park Avenue viaduct it is
proposed to have huge coliseum cap
able Of seating 10000 persons, to be
used for national conventions and other
meetings of national Importance. The
upper floor is to be divided between
American Legion posts and other pa
triotic bodies who took part in the
war. There will be an exhibition hall,
Hall of the Allies and a Shrine of
Memory. Around the vast walls of the
coliseum will be inscribed the names
of all New Workers who paid the su-
prone sacrifice, whether they served
with the American armies. or those of
the Allies

would be content in the country with a
house as simple as the fiat they came
from in the city they would find it not
impossible to own their own home,
even in these times"
The bride had her foot on the thresh-
old OF great decision at this point,
but She hesitated again; and the young
man, being wise young man, knew
what was in her mind, and he led her
down Magic Alley" where every labor
saving device known to woman had
been installed.
Saves Housewives Steps
"These little houses have been
planned with the express idea Of saving
steps for the houseworker," he said,
showing her the plans. with the servant
shortage, 1T is becoming more and more
necessary for women to do part or all
of their work. and the modern archi-
tect draws his plans with this in mind
no long halls, no extra rooms, no
dark stairways"
The bride was told she need not give
up her music lesson in order to w9
for the grocer. A patent device in the
back door permits the grocer's bow to
slip the Sunday dinner in a secret
shelf, where it is securely locked away
from the neighbor's dog and the
| ltinerant small boy
Any bride could maintain her inde-
pendence Of laundresses if she had an
electric washing machine. Dish wash
ing is simple once-a-day rite, to be
performed without torment with the
aid of a washing machine, she
learned.
Works Spinning Wheel
Al for amusements, when gardenin
pals and tennis tires, there is one
woman who advocates the great indoor
sport OF spinning. Sitting by her old
Colonial fireplace with the old copper
kettle singing on the hearth, Miss Anna
erickson spins all day. Brides come

there is little for them to initiate in

From the little girl who could not

Bedtime Stories
Mischievous Jack
By Thornton W. Burgess
Who does q mischief TO his neighbors
Is paid with hate for all his labors.

When Old Mother Nature said that
everybody knows Jack Rabbit, Peter
Rabbit shook his head. ~ DON'T" said
he very meekly.
"Then it is time you did," retorted
Old Mother Nature. IF you had ever
been in the Far West you would know
him and all about him. Everybody out
BE- called Jack Hare instead Of Jack Rab-
bit, for he is Hare. He isn't quite as
big as Antelope Jack, but even at that
he is big fellow. He wears coat much
like Jumpers, and the tips of his long
ears are black. His tail is much longer
than Jumpers and when he runs he car
xies it down"
T don't carry mine down." Peter
"True enough, Peter. True enough"
laughed Old Mother Nature. "You
couldn't if you wanted to. 1t isn't long
enough to carry any way but up. Jack
has more Of a tail than you have. My.
how ne can run! He goes with great
bounds and about every tenth bound he
jumps very high. This is so that he can

Foxes, Coyotes, Hawks. Eagles, Wea-

Nature. "He has about as many enc

II suppose when you say men you
mean hunters" said Peter.
Old Mother Nature nodded. Eyes"
said she. II mean those who hunt him
for sport and those who hunt him to
get rid Of him"
Peter pricked up his ears. What do
they want to get rid Of him for? What
harm does he dot" he asked.
"When he lives far from the homes
Of men he does no HARM" replied Old
Mother Nature "But when he lives near
the homes Of men he gets into great
deal of mischief, Just as you do when
you visit Farmer Browns garden" Old
Mother Nature looked very severe when
she said this and Peter hung his head.

YOU don't know what temptation 1t is.
The things in that garden do taste so

Old Mother Nature turned her head
to hide the twinkle in her eyes. When
she looked at Peter again her face was
very stern. "That is no excuse. said
she severely. "You should be sufficiently
strong minded not to yield to tempta-
ton. Yielding to temptation is the
