sTEEPLES OF MANY DESIGNS
No General Rule Has Been Followed
by Architects In Centuries OF
Church Building.

Steeple Is a general architectural
name for the whole arrangement OF
tower. belfry, spire, etc. The origin
OF steeples Is obscure, the term sp1re
(Old English, "spir," blade OF grass,
and so anything tapering to point),
is the specific architectural term given
lofty roofs in stone or wood, covered
with lead or slate which crown the
towers Of cathedrals, churches and va
rious other buildings. In plan they
are conical, or pyramidal or octag-
onal, or hexagonal, often pieHed by
ornamental openings where they are
enriched with crockets. On the contl-
nent the architects aimed to make the
steeple and spire one, merging them
into each other, while In England they
openly confessed 1t was separate
structure by making its point OF origin
behind a plain or pierced parapet, OF
ornamental battlements. A spire prop
erly belongs to pointed architecture
and hence has never been fully devei-
oped except In Gothic buildings. Az
early as the Twelfth century they took
on different forms, and almost every
where from the Thirteenth to the Six
teenth century became the terminal
ing construction of every church stee-
pie, tower or lantern, and also those
Of similar buildings, more especially
In Germany and France. In England
Norman churches were without spires
hut with the coming Of early English,
short ones were introduced; decorated
Gothic called for much higher ones,
and the perpendicular still higher The
earlier spires were generally built or
timber, and they were always so when
the building was rooted with wood.
These early timber spires We're as
rule, not very tall, but later reached
greater elevation; that which crowned
old St. Pauls In London is said to
have been 527 feet In height. The most
lofty spires now in existence. such as
those of Salisbury, Coventry and Nor
wich, are all Of stone.

Medical Use Of Radlum.

The popular supposition that most
OF the radium now produced is being
used for luminous watch-dials and
similar devices is contradicted by MIR.
Hamilton Foley, of the Standard
Chemical company. Of Pittsburgh, who
writes:
Last year this company produced
over Is grams of radium, and OF this
amount only IL grams went into
luminous material. All of the rest
went into the hands Of the medical
profession. This company has made
more than half of the total supply Of
radium available in the world at the
present time, and its first thought Is
for the medical prOfession.'-Scientitic

Will Put Bill In Shape

The hearings on the Curry bill
having been terminated, the work
of whipping the bill into shape now
confronts the house committee. 1t
is regarded as certain the bill can
not pass in its present form. as =
number of fundamental weaknesses
were developed during the hearing.
Even though the measure should
be defeated, it is believed it will
bring Congress face to face with
Alaska's problems and needs in the
way of legislation and appropria-
tions, and something probobly will
be done for the territory in con-
sequence of the development board
agitation.
Even bureau chiefs are beginning
to take notice to the extent of adj
vocating decentralization of govern
ment by bureaus at Washington and
the substitution of form of inter-
departmental cabinet. >#
Delegate Dan Sutherland, who ap-
peared before the committee near
the end of the hearing, devoted con-
siderable time to a discussion Of the
fisheries question, protesting against
any plan of administration that
would remove the fisheries from the
control of the people Of Alaska.
He declared that Alaska is strug-
Cling in the grip of a transportation
monopoly which, he claimed, con-
stitutes the trouble and accounts
for the falling off in population.
Chairman Curry has announced
that if there is any likelihood of
President Harding and Secretary Of
the Interior Fall visiting Alaska
during. the summer, the committee
report will be withheld until their
return to Washington. as it is an
ticipated they would return from
their visit with valuable recommend
atoms.

Greedy Objects To Bill

The message says that yesterdays
hearing developed strong opposition
on the part of Greedy, head of the
forest service, who asserted that the
bill takes Alaskan resources out Of
the hands of the national govern
ment. He said he deplored the in
convenience of long-distance govern
ment imposed on the territory and
he suggested as a solution, the APP
pointment of a commissioner, with
the rant of assistant secretary, each
department so represented to be
directly responsible to the admins
tration. He would have the COM
missioners reside in Alaska and form
an inter-departmental cabinet.

EDITOR SAYS ALASKA BOARD
WOULD ENDANGER RESOURCES

al agencies which combine long ex-
perience and scientific knowledge
in studying and developing specific
natural resources. We have come to
the time when economic conditions
should bring about gradual develop
ment of Alaskan industries, with a
corresponding increase in population.
This development should be on a
sound basis and not temporary,
reckless exploitation of the public
property.
Secretary Wallace suggests that
the creation of an Alaskan board
composed of representatives placed
there by each of the federal agen-
cies active in the territory, and of
one or two permanent Alaska resi-
dents, every proper purpose sought
to be accomplished, could be brought
about without jeopardizing the ma
tional and territorial interests.

Union vs.. Non.union


WILLIAMSON, May 17-Fighting
is still in progress in the mountain
area along the border between
Kentucky and West Virginia, the
latest storm centers being McCarr.
Kentucky and Lynn, West Virginia.
Some trouble is also reported from
Spring.
Statements regarding the origin
of the trouble are contradictory,
but it is believed here to have re-
suited from trouble between union
and non-union miners.
The union miners, who are at
tempting to unionize the mines and
who have been locked out by the
mine owners, have settled in near
by territory, following their evic-
ton from quarters owned by the
coal companies. They no longer are
permitted 20 trade at the company
stores and are living on supplies
shipped to them by the union. They
are also drawing funds from the
union treasury.
Propaganda is being resorted to
by both sides, each blaming the
other for the disorders.

SEATTLE, May IA (Delayed)-
The Washington correspondent of
the Post-Intelligencer says that just
before adjournment of the Curry
bill hearing last night, Chairman
Curry caused a sensation by brand
ing as false and malicious an article
appearing in the Washington Times
over the signature of Norman Hap
good. The article in question de-
clared that the 'house committee
on territories is holding hearings
on a gigantic plan to hand over
the resources of Alaska to a COM
mission responsible to nobody" The
article said further that if the bin
goes through, it will make czars
of the commissioners, giving them
the power to give away vast re-
sources without check.
Replying to the article, Chairman
Curry declared that the hearings
had been fairly and impartially
conducted and he explained that
the bill as presented by him, was
in tentative form only and subject
to amendment. In conclusion, the
chairman said: "If Alaska needs
relief in legislation, we will en-
deavor to afford that relief. And if
the committee finds that relief does
not lie in legislation, we will no,
pass this bill or any other"
Other members of the COMMITTEES
have made angry protest against
the Hapgood article. -"
