have a combined population Of 33. .000,.
900, or 80 per cent Of the population OF
the United States.
The transfer station Is situated at
Harris avenue and Sherman street and
Is known as the greensboro Terminal
OF the Coastwise Steamship Lines.
The terminal is in charge of the Trans
port Service, Inc. and the Queens
boro Chamber OF Commerce believes
that this service will result in the saw.
ing OF thousands of dollars annually
to the shippers in that borough.
William II. Johns. president OF the
Greensboro Chamber OF Commerce, in
commenting on this new terminal
says:
while It is not possible for every
one to have ocean vessels load and
unload coastwise shipments direct at
his factory door, II has, however. now
become possible for all shippers and
receivers OF freight located in Queens
Borough to have what amounts to
practically the same service.
"As every additional transportation
facility naturally makes Queens Bor-
ough still more attractive as a location
for new industries. this new freight
service will. therefore, give a fresh
impetus to the industrial growth Of
the borough. II 1t is conceded that
industrial development Is the basis of
all community growth, then this az
complishment will also indirectly ben
eft every one interested in the resi-.
dental. commercial financial and in
dustrial development of Queens Bor.
ough."

There are few individuals Who
build today purely from the in
stinct or love for creating. The
final test OF any building in this
age is its utility. Every structure
must be regarded as an investment
and as such requires careful prelim-
mary study.
There are as many gauges Of the
utility of a structure as there are
types Of building. In a commercial
structure the gauge is its earning
capacity; in a private residence sue

Ing or home for a financial institu-
ton the return may be based On
an increased good will or prestige,
together with an ability through ef-

the public.
In whatever form the return, the
building represents an investment Of
capital for profit-and there can be
no profit unless 1t meets the require
ments imposed by the investment.
The initial decision to improve a
piece of property must be made by
the owner and while structural bit
falls may be avoided by the choice

bility must necessarily rest with
the owner. This economic phase
must be studied and settled before
the structural problem is approached.
So far as the actual work OF build.
ing is concerned there now is a
standard procedure for the solution
of the construction problem. Not a
brick is laid for the new building
until the ARCHITECTURAL design has been
completed, the plans approved, depth
of excavation decided, kinds of ma
terials chosen and most important
Of all-the cost determined.
There Is no corresponding stand

preliminary economic problem. Know

slider every type of building which
might meet his requirements and
under every type investigate and

In considering the erection Of q
commercial building, the owner
should satisfy himself as to the prob
able demand. for it's use, the perma-
nence of the demand, competition Of
present and future buildings Of the
same class and the stability Of the
zone before he decides the type

He should also bear In mind that
the commercial value and the cost CT

same; for a building that Is well
planned, we'll built. Of attractive ap.

Mr.. BARNES, WHO NOW OWNS A CIRCUS,
BEGAN CAREER BY TRAINING A PET DOG

and he always had hard time get
ting started to coast down. SO he
called on Beaver to help him out.
Beaver was taught to pull the sled
with Barnes junior on 1t, to the top
of the hill, far enough, just barely
far enough to give it start and
then he would leap jOyously into
his masters arms and coast down
hill. At the bottom of the hill
Beaver would take hold Of the sled
and pull it up hill. Oh, what fun
they had!
Beaver also learned to sneeze a
very intelligent yes" and to growl
an Il won't" that was as easily I'M
derstood.
Never Daunted as Boy
BY Bucking Horse
AS Barnes to be a boy about IA
years old, he had added ponies and
horses to his list of animals which
he had trained to do tricks.
No horse, broken or unbroken,
could resist him. He rode them all
all the horses he could get a hold
of when boy.
Later his father, Mr. Barnes said,
offered a prize of $500 to anyone
who would bring a horse to his
home which his son could not ride.
No one ever received the 500, for
Barnes rode all of them.
After this time, Mr.. Barnes Sc
cured trained mule, named Maud,
the same one that was pictured In
the funny paper" and travelled
around a little with the mule, some
ponies, and some dogs. Monkeys
soon were added to his menagerie,
and thus, il has slowly grown to
the large circus exhibiting anaimals
of all kinds which we saw here
Friday.
MIR. Barnes Enjoys a
Circus-As a Child
A lion was the first real wild
animal Mr.. Barnes ever trained,
but now 1t is difficult to find wild
animal that he has not secured
and trained.
Perhaps you think that folks who
go to see a cus-especially jun
ior folks are the only ones that
enjoy circuses, but here is man
who owns a great big circus and
enjoys It thoroughly all the time.

guests of the Community Service
organization of Richmond.
All the children who went, met
at their own playground and then
marched in a body to the circus
grounds and then straight to the
big tent where they were met by
Mr.. Braden, manager Of the circus,
and were ushered to special sec
ton reserved for them.
Performers in the circus never
forgot this particular group of chill
dren. All afternoon they did
stunts" right in front of them
Gnstead of at the other end of the
tent and the policeman clown
never left them, much to, their de-
light. In return, the children
showed their appreciation by keen
attention and, at times, by vigor-
Gus applause and cheering.
During the afternoon, they were
treated TO Ice cream cones.

CRAB-BOX IS FUN
WHEN CHILDREN OF
22ND HAVE PICNIC

The most exciting feature of the
picnic which the children of the
South Twenty-second street play
ground held Tuesday at Thistleth-
waite's Falls was the grab-box.
Everyone brought mysteriously
wrapped something, which cost
about 10 cents and gave 1t to Miss
Isabel Crabb who put 1t In box.
Immediately after dinner was eat
en-, the box was brought forth and
everybody pulled. Great fun was
had as each one unwrapped his
present which proved to be a top
or a ball, doll or perhaps a bun
die of "all-day suckers"
Thirty-four boys and girls enjoy
ed the picnic. A camp fire was
built at noon,. over which wieners
and marshmallows were roasted.
Wading in the water and chasing
minnows proved to engrossing that
S o'clock, the hour to go home,
came quickly, and then there was
nothing else to do but to go home
and hope that the city's play
grounds would be opened again
next year.

Barnes Children Ride.
Mr.. Barnes is very kindly, faith
erly sort of person with gray hair,
and a twinkling merry expression
on his face and he walks alert and
briskly. He has two little girls
named Virginia and Rosemary, be-
sides a wee little son, not yet a
year old.
Both Virginia and Rosemary
have their very own pedigreed
ponies, and they think it is fun to
ride. Rosemary who is just three
years old with dark hair and eyes,
calls her pony Bob Trinket. Friday
morning in Richmond as Rosemary
was riding the pony threw her off,
but though the fall scratched her
up a little, she was still as eager
to ride as before her mishap.
Virginia who is four and one-half
years old, with light brown curls,
calls here pony Buck.
Often both these little girls are

SCOUTS TAKE bike
ride TO FOR IN Err
CAMP site ON FARM

One way of breaking up water
melon is TO drop it, and that was
how Maurice Mentendick broke his
watermelon in a grocery store in
Centerville Tuesday afternoon as a
group of boy scouts stopped there
on their bicycle ride to McCOnaha's
farm. The boys picked up the
pieces and said it tasted just as
good as If it had been cut.
Twelve scouts took this bike
hike" as 1t was called, starting at l
o'clock Tuesday afternoon and re-
turning late that evening. All went
well except with Leonard Baldwin,
who attempted to ride in a ditch.
He was extricated all right and the
cyclists continued their journey.
Everybody who went on the hike
ate a half of watermelon. After
this feast the boys proceeded to
their old camping site on south OF
Centeryille where they went swim
ming. A cross-country run was
taken later in the afternoon.
A camp fire was built and corn
was roasted In the fire thus the
boys added one of the very best
things on the camp fire menu to
their afternoons feast.
