The war risk skyscraper 10 also regarded
as a temporary affair, so far az the govern
ment is concerned. The site had been dug
for a private office building when the gov
eminent bought 1t to put UP shop large
enough to house the war insurance opera
tions. The result Is a honeycomb of office
rooms fitted together with the one idea OF
getting as many rooms as possible into q
given space. 1t will remain government
property, no doubt, SO long as the war risk
regiment is in service.
The gentlemen Of 1872, who protested at
the state, war and navy building being four
stories high, with mansard attic as an ad-
ditionai flaunt at tradition. should be here
to look up the War Risk buildings eleven
closely packed stories.
In 1872 two stories was the proper height
for government office structure, and the
White House, capitol, treasury and patent
office were al not more than three stories
above ground. This gave uniformity OF style
to the government architecture, and variety
was achieved by using different kinds OF
columns and porticos after Greek and Roman
examples.
The buildings then were planned to allow
for setting Of grass and flower beds. Now,
the war risk and other buildings have tiny
grass plots less than the width OF city
street. 1t is all enough to make L'Enfant
Sir Oliver Lodge.
These purely unitarian structures are re-
garded as temporary, but the government
moves ponderously with a great and pro-
longed rumbling for every inch 1t advances
1t will be years before all these emergency
buildings are discarded. And when they are,
what are the permanent ones to be like?
We can get good idea by turning to the
admittedly permanent government buildings
lately erected--the Interior. Labor, Com
merce, Engraving and Internal Revenue
buildings
Only the Internal Revenue building, across
the street from the treasury, 10 an exception
to the tendency to ignore architecture and
tradition. It Is return to the style OF the
treasury, and would be one of the show
places of the District IL 1t were surrounded
by shrubbery and grounds instead of being
damned on one side by a theater and at the
back by bank.

DOROTHY DIX TALkS-Acquiring Sense of Hunor


my first uuty is to teach that child how
to laugh" said the stepmother.
"But you can't do it," said the child's rel
atives. "You couldn't make her see joke
with telescope. She has absolutely no
sense of hunor whatever"
"I'll develop one in her." replied the new
mother. II can't let her miss the best In
life. don't see how any one can have the
courage to carry on through life IL they
haven't sense OF humor. There's so much
and to be able to laugh is the brave atti-
tude."
SO this wonder-woman took the funny pa.
pers and diagrammed their jokes for the lit
tie girl, and explained their quips, and dis
sected their humor, and showed her where
the laugh me In, and why certain things
were funny. 1t was slow work, but at last
she opened up the unsupported spring Of hui
NOR In the Little girls soul, and from 1t buh-
bled up full-throated laughter, and today
that child, now womah. has an almost alb
normal appreciation OF the ridiculous, and is
noted as an exceptionally good story-teller.
This tip is passed to OTHER parents and
teachers. Don't let children for whom you
are responsible, grow up without sense OF
humor. 1t is as criminal thing to do, as
1t Is to let them grow up cross-eyed, or bow
legged, or knock-kneed, when a little judi
cious treatment would save them,
For a sense Of humor Is more than just
an added enjoyment In life. 1t Is a sword
and buckler against the sings and arrows OF
outrageous fortune. Fate can not down those
who always come up laughing after every
fall.
1t is the serious people, the intense people,
who break under strain. The merry-hearted
have the residence of India rubber. The men
who commit suicide when things go wrong
with their business, the women who are lit
orally driven into the insane asylum by their
children and their servants, are those who
take life as a tragedy instead of seeing 1t as
comedy The men and women with sense
OF humor never despair, because they always
see something SO diverting and interesting
even in their misfortunes, that they fight on
until their luck changes.
Also, q sense OF humor will do more to
keep US from making fools of ourselves, than
anything else. 1t is only those who have no
appreciation of what a figure OF fun the pom.
pous, the pretentious, the Dragging, and the
vain are, that strut about like peacocks
When you can laugh at yourself, you keep
other people from laughing at you.
A sense Of humor keeps us humble, and
| brave and cheerful. 1t makes us easy to live
with, and pleasant company for our fellow
creatures, and for these. an. a thousand
other reasons. 1t is worth cultivating in our
selves, and developing in our children.

4 Sign of Southern V;gor

~ ISTINCTLY cheering it is, the general
market condition of lumber and other
construction materials being consld-
cred, that the South's record OF building
projects announced in the week OF June the
third exceeded thirty million dollars. The
figures are from compilations by the Manu-
facturers' Record, which points out that they
are the largest of the year thus far, with the
one exception of the week ended April the
twenty-second.
Foremost il the list of enterprises con-
tracted for or definitely planned come
school houses, representing an outlay OF
eight million one hundred and thirty-six
thousand dollars Tor the week. Surely, there
could be no better evidence of the South 5
good Judgment and forward-going spirit than
this activity in expanding and improving
her educational plants at time When divers
industries are standing still. Advancement
in this realm is the strongest guarantee OF
fresh and abiding prosperity. -,
Buildink; of many kids figured notably IN
the thirty-millioll total-dwellings, apart
ment houses, bank and office structures
churches, and stores Roads, paving ana
bridges, always of fundamental Importance,
bulked to the extent of nearly five million
dollars; and the likelihood is that thence
forward this class of construction will grow
steadily as the general betterment OF the
times disposes tax payers to vote public I'M
provement measures.
It witnesses well to the South's inherent
business vigor that since the first Of the
year her building activity has strengthened
from week to week, almost without excep-
ton despite still high and unsettled costs.
Is not this unmistakable proof of deep-seat-
ed growth that will spread and flourish
into wide-reaching prosperity so soon as the
days of readjustment are over?
