LONDON SHOCKED WITH PLANS
FOR BIG SKYSCRAPER
Proposed Twenty-Three Story Tower
for Bank of England Regarded
As a Joke

London, January 23.-Will London
eventually come around to the idea
of the s~kyscraper?
The other day the Old Lady of
Threadneedle street, as the Bank of
England is popularity known, received
the shock of her life when Professor
A. E. Richardson, of the University
of London, proposed tearing down
the old structure and erecting a %
story tower building.
Professor Richardson drew a sketch
of his proposed building, with archi-
tectural ornaments which give the APP
pearance of church steeples. This
sketch, the author declared, was more
to illustrate a principle than actual
building.
''There are certain places in the
city and in other parts of London"
he said, where the height of build
ings could be raised without damage
to the general aspect.
such a case is the Bank of Eng
land. I have prepared this sketch
partly to arouse criticism and discus
sion and partly to call attention to
the fact that it should be possible to
build, from within the bank, a build
ing which would act as a foil to st.
PauI's."
Somebody thought of asking the
opinion of the Lord Mayor on the pro-
posed s~kyscraper, especially as his
mansion house is directly opposite the
site. He "laughingly regarded the en-
tire plan as a joke.
Among the English architects some
favorable comment was elected. One
well-known architect came out pub
licly in favor of the new idea.-New
York American.

deeply impressed by her talk and fine
manners and general comeliness. He
felt her grace and charm and spoke
OF 1t with enthusiasm. But to him
and to her there seemed to be an I'm
passable gulf between them. She
changed her mind about that, how
ever, when she heard him speak and
felt the power of his personality and
saw his face lighted by the candle of
n1s spirit. 1t was a handsome face
IN those moments Of high elation.
Hardship and malarial poison had
lined and sallowed his skin. The
shadows of loneliness and sorrow were
IN its sculpturing. But when his eyes
glowed with passion one saw not the
rough mask which the life of the
pioneer had given him. His form lost
It's awkwardness; his face took on a
noble and impressive beauty. To
quote his W words to the boy, Josiah
|Traylor, his character was speaking
as well as his lips. Mary had the in
|sight to recognize his power. She felt
the strength of his spirit. She agreed
with her friends that here was a man
|of great promise. She felt the need
of him.
To one who loved beauty and re-
Ispected women as he did, the grace
and refinement of this young lady had
"a Singular appeal, coupled. as it was,
with the urge of his strong, masculine
|nafure. 1t was a revelation. He was

those lofty mountains which sep
arate the State from California.
Most of the history of the state
centers in this Western section,
neal the Sierras, and it is here
that all of Nevada's principal
cities are located.
The first white man to cross
the present state was the Fran
ciscan Monk, Father Cares, who
made his way cross the deserts
to California in 1775. In 1925
Peter S. Ogden OF the Hudson's
Bay company discovered the
Humboldt river, which is some
times called Ogden river after
him.
The next memorable trip
across the state was that by
Fremont in 1843, when he went
to California at the time Of the
outbreak of the Mexican a
1t was this war which in 1S4S
resulted in Mexico ceding a large
area to the United States, of
which Nevada was a part. When
this was organized into terri
tories. the Territory of Utah ex-
tended to California. The West
ern inhabitants, however, were
left to their own resources and
accordingly organized their W
government. Resenting the at
titude of Utah they petitioned
to be annexed to California.
In 1859 the Comstock Lode
was discovered and Nevada had
its own mining boom. Popula-
ton Immediately grew by leaps
and bounds and in 1861 Nevada
was formed into a separate ter
ritory. Later, poruons of Utah
were added and the lower part
of the state was taken from Ari-
IONA. Petitions for statehood
were made but it was not until
1864 that Nevada became the
thirty-sixth state of the Union.
Though Nevada ranks sixth
in size with its area of 110,69O
square miles, it has the smallest
population of any Of the 4S
states. Between 1900 and 1900
: there was a marked decrease in
!: the population due to the falling
off of mining industry.

The membership drive of the
Brunswick Board of Trade will start
bright and early today with every in
dication if success. In interviewing
General Chairman J. P. Davenport
last night, On the eve of the Board
of Trade membership campaign, he
was exceedingly gratified with the
outlook and predicted that at the
close of the drive the Board of Trade
would be in far better condition as to
the coming year than ever before in
its existence. He furthr stated that
it was surprising to learn the great
number of prominent business and
professional men representing the
biggest and best interests of the city,
endorsed the Board of Trade and
agreed to sustain it the coming year
in better shape than ever before.
The entire plans of the campaign
have been mapped out very carefully
in conference with many of the lead
ing business men and this morning
at 9 o'clock, nine committees COM
posed of FIVE members to each com
mittee, will start out to cover the
city as it has never been covered be-
fore, inducing men and women to be-
come active members of the CONNER
eial organization and agreeing to par
ticipate in all of the, activities that
the Board of Trade will handle dur
ing the year 1923.
Secretary Warde has received many
letters from other boards of trade
and chambers of commerce through
out the south requesting that as soon
as possible to furnish the results of
Brunswick's campaign, for while
Brunswick is not big city, still both
the city proper and its Board Of Trade
are held in high esteem by hundreds
of progressive cities in Georgia, Ala
bama, Florida, and the two Caro-
linas.
Regarding the dues, Mr.. Davenport
stated that it was his purpose to SO
arrange the payment of the same that
it could not possibly work hardship
on any members of the organization.
Tn conclusion Mr.. Davenport stat
ed that it was not only his expecta-
ton but the expectation of the fifty
committeeman associated with him
in this drive to secure every man,
business and professional, as mem
bers of the Board Of Trade.
In the Board of Trade headquarters
last night was held as good meet
ing of the representative business
men as was ever held in the city of
Brunswick Nearly forty men rep
resenting every business interest in
Brunswick were present.
The meeting was called to order by
General Chairman J. P. Davenport,
who fully explained in detail plan
for CARRYING out be >campaisn to a
successful issue.
( 1t was the opinion of all present
that if Brunswick is to make rapid
progress along all lines, that the best
wav to make this possible is through
we'll supported Board of Trade.

men to each committee will start

Greer, was caused by paralysis of the
heart and while it was sudden it
seemed to have been expectd by the
decasd as he told those about him
that his end was near.
Mr.. Martin was out last Friday
and while his health has been any
thing but good since he had an at
tack of fever several weeks ago, it
was not thought that he was serious
ly i'll and while it was known that he
was anything but well man, it was
the opinion of those close to him that
the result would not be serious and
that he would be out again in a few
days. His death will carry sorrow to
the hearts of all classes of citizenry
because he did not number his friends
among any one Set, but all the peo-
pie.
For nearly seventeen years, Mr.
Martin, who was fiftytwo years OF
age, has been a resident of Bruins

ductor on the Atlanta, Birmingham
& Atlantic railroad and it was while
filling this position that he lost an
