ously-earted room decorations such a.
are seen about the state, war and navy
building, and other early government
edifices, are conspicuOusly absent
from recent government construction.
An example of the Old-style ponder
BUSINESS which characterized the first
federal buildings is found in the gran
ite pillars on the treasury facades.
These huge pillars were Quarried in
Maine and shipped to Washington Oh
sailing vessels. 1t took 1S oxen and
eight horses to carry each of them to
the building. Time was no obstacle in
spent in constructing the state, war
and navy building. The new navy and
munitions buildings were run up in
five and a half months.
The state, war and navy building
cost $1OO00,0O0 at time when labor
was cheap. The new buildings aver
age about $3,OOO.OO0. They have Ionic
and DOric columns and they are shin
ingly white, but they are distinctly
businesslike in appearance. They
suggest, rather than initiate, Athens
and old Europe.
Post Office to Be Palmer.
1t is probable that the day of the
beautiful, be-cOlumned marble post Of
fee is past. Since 1913 there has been
no public buildings bill to provide at
one time several hundred post office
buildings for the country. These bills
had very little to do with economy. 1t
was not uncommon for a town of
few thousand souls which was repre-
sented by live congressman, to win
$4,000 post Office. Each congressman
voted for the appropriation bill be-
cause it contained some item in which
he was interested and to disapprove
Of any clause was to ditch the whole
measure. --a-Ass,-~---Hssss- -s-.is--------~
Congress was criticised for this sort
Of pork legislation. The most success
full post Office getters retOrted that a
federal building of beauty and dignity
was an inspiration to the citizens Of
a town, and that from that point Of
view it was a worthwhile investment
The European war put stop to such
argument and to The marble-front post
offices.
A few post offices are still being con-
structed from the provisions of the
1913 bill, but no construction work for
the government is being done in Wash
ingtOn. Nor is there much prospect
Of any new government buildings for
a year or more. The important ar
chives building waits only for the word
Of congress.
Two recent fires in the treasury
have shown that the old buildings are
not invulnerable, and that documents
of great value stored in them are far
from safe. But economy is rampant
and it will doubtless be many months
before congress can be persuaded to
spend money for a building program,
even to insure the safety Of the ma
tiOnal records.

MUSEUM TO Be SHOW
WINDOW OF UNIVERSE
tRy Associated Press,

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-The Industrial

Mr.. Wilson, in outlining the program
for development of the institute which
was approved at the convention OF

and processes, and it should rent space
60 ovhthits of materials of industrial

conveniently located where packers
from all parts of the country may come
and view samples before making
purchases.
Work of Museum
"As research institution, it should
develop and systematic body of
scientific and practical data for the
service of the whole industry, conduct
experiments and merchandising sur

ment
"As an educational institution it

JAMES j. STORROW, fuel admins
traitor of Massachusetts, says, Don't
burn a pound of coal in October.
Cook and heat water for your household
with kerosene stove. 1t will save you
money. 1t will perhaps keep you out of
the coal line next winter. Cooking by
kerosene is cheaper than COAL Kerosene
can be bought anywhere"
Kerosene can be bought anywhere
This statement Is particularly true
throughout the Middle Western states
served by the Standard Oil Company
Qndiana), whose distribution service Is
1909 complete. Kerosene Is delivered
to the home, whether on distant farm,
in small town, or In big city.
Imagination and foresight were required
to anticipate the demand for petroleum
products which exists today. Permanently
In organization, efficient management
and close attention to the minutest detail
has resulted in establishing within this
Company spirit Of service which is
expressed in the far-Aung system of dis
tribution and delivery which makes every
user of petroleum products in the 10
Middle Western States feel certain that
his needs will be instantly supplied.
The Standard Oil Company (1ndiana)
distributing system represents an invest
ment of over $45, 100000 1t includes Is
main stations where complete stocks of
products are kept on hand, 1878 bulk
stations, 1905 service stations and 1857
tank wagons. 1t has grown to meet the
needs of the present and to anticipate
the needs of the future. It is highly
flexible and capable at all times of meet
ing emergencies, such as coal shortage,
in any secrion of the territory served.
This service is available at every home.
To meet the needs of the public it serves
IS the ideal which the Standard Oil Com
pany (Indiana) has before it at all times.
It's alert to foresee possible need for its
products, and when the demand comes it
is prepared to supply it; for example, the
possible coal shortage has resulted in an
unusual demand for burning oil for use
in home heating plants, and the Com
pany was ready with Stanolind Furnace
Oil, which it had developed for this
particular service.
Stanolind Furnace oil is equal to kero.
sene in heating value and sells at lower
price. This IS another benefit accruing
to the public at large, through an eff

How Much
Of Your Money
Burned Up
Last Year?
Last years fire loss in the
United States and Canada
was over $5OO,OOO,OOO. In
the past ten years ST. out of
every 81 spent in new con-
struction has been destroyed
by fire.
Each year we burn up
enough property TO build
homes for city of half a
million people = city as
large as Buffalo.
To put it another way,
$5OOOOO,OOO would have
built over $4,000 miles of
concrete roads at $4,000
mile, or 5000 school build
ings at 100000 each.
Fire loss represents total
loss OF natural resources
together with loss of time,
wages, customers, good will
and all the disorganizing
effects that follow fire.
In addition fire takes an
nually an enormous toll Of
human life.
To drive home the neces-
sity and profit of buildings
that won't burn is part
of the work Of the Portland
Cement Association.
Time and time again con-
crete has proved itself the
highest type of fire resistive
construction. Concrete
buildings command lowest
insurance rate. Concrete
construction means safety
combined with longest life
at minimum upkeep. Con-
crete grows stronger with
age.
The Portland Cement AS
ISOLATION is constantly as
sisting every movement
directed toward reducing
fire waste through the me-
dunn Of better building.
Our engineers are at all
times cooperating with
builders, architects and
others with view to re-
.ducing fire hazards.
Aiding the work of fire pre-
vention is typical of the
daily service of the Portland
Cement Association

Mccormick pulled a dirty note out
of his pocket and laid 1t on the table.
We read it eagerly:
Hello, chief! Haven't found the
firebug yet, have you? You will know
the fires stop. I don't suppose you
even realize that the hrebug talks
with you almost every day about
catching the hrebug. That's mo. I
am the real firebug that is writing
why am starting these nres. There's
money in tt-an easy living. They

majesty? Wait till the fun begins

stacey interests control several. Mac,
! I'll tell you what I'll do. Let me sit
up with you tonight at headquarters

| The fire marshal leaped to his feet
| and bounded over to where Kennedy
was seated. With one hand on Craig's
shoulder and the other grasping
his voice choked.

last. My reputation in the depart
