THE LARGEST BRICK
BUILDING

rHE Pension Office Building. W'.sh'
i ington, D. c., Is often referred to
as the largest brick building In the
world. That statement Is easy to be-
lieve when one learns that 16.6OO.-
600 bricks were used In its construc-
tion. It is four stories high, exclusive
of the basement, 400 feet long, 1O
feet wide and contains ITO rooms.
The court contains eight columns
each eight feet in diameter at the base
and rs feet high. Each column con-
tains more than $1,000 bricks and
1,449 square feet Of plaster, all beauti.
fully colored In representation OF
many historical scenes.
First occupied during the year 1885,
this building was constructed as q
memorial to the brave soldiers and
sailors who had 80 well served their
country during the Civil War. as well
as to house the employees and records
of the Pension Bureau.
The corridor accommodates 1S.OO
people and 1t Is here that the pres
idenial inaugural balls have been
held.
Precious indeed are the records which
are fled away In this great structure.
In passing, it is interesting to note
that the report Of the commissions
in charge for a recent year, shows
74S,147 pensioners on Uncle Sans pay
roll and the total disbursement as
more than $166, 100000.

RED CROSS RESCUED
100000 FROM DEATH
Spent s1,20o,o00 for Relief Of
Famine Sufferers In China
Last Year.

To help overcome conditions Of acute
distress in five famine stricken prov
inces of Northern China, where MIL
lions of persons were affected by an
unprecedented shortage Of food, the
American Red Gross during the last
fiscal year spent more than 81 900,
31,OOOOO0 Of which was contributed di.
recty by National Headquarters and
the remainder by various groups In
terested In the welfare Of China.
Through the wide relief operations
thus made possible 1t is estimated that
more than 100000 famine sufferers
were saved from starvation.
To the end that similar prompt re-
lief measures by the organization may
always be possible the Red Cross is
asking continued support by the Amer
lean people by universal renewal Of
membership at the Annual Red Gross
Roll Call, November II to "a.
The method Of relief employed by
the American Red Cross in Its opera
tions in China was particularly efrec-
tive, for in addition to saving hundreds
Of thousands Of lives 1t provided China
with more than 900 miles Of permanent
roads that are sorely needed to pre-
vent a recurrence Of famine. At one
time the Red Cross employed $4,000
Chinese workmen. paying them in food
for themselves and dependents. this
food being brought In from Manchuria
and elsewhere.
