A reminder of Northwest phiIar- thropy-a once-starving boy in the heart of Armenia, clothed in WalIa WaIIa flour sack.
 several months ago. There, with milk from the condensaries of these same districts, and with other Northwest food, it helped to save this little fel- low and thousands of others like him, who were nearly dead of hunger.
 Then, while the milk tins were fashioned by the rescued children into cups for the orphanages, hospitals and clinics of Near East Relief, the flour sacks became their own new spring suits" It was a simple operation, re- quiring only the cutting and hem ming of hole in the bottom for the head to stick through; cutting off the corners and sewing meal sack sleeves to them. Rather breezy and not very stylish, but warmer and far better in every way than the filthy rags in which they were found starving in the streets
 "In our orphanages we now have about 12O,0OO little boys and girls who would have died of hunger and exposure exposure long ago but for Americas timely aid, much of which has come from out here in the North west" states Dr. Divine.
 Outside, without food and without even so much as a flour sack to pro- teet them from the biting blasts of winter, there are more than 100000 others, just as worthy, pleading at our orphanage doors for admission-cry. ing for something to eat, something to wear We must have more funds, more food. more clothes if we are to save them"

LONDON PEEYED BY THOUGHT OF
 SKYSCRAPERS
PROPOSAL TO REPLACE OLDl BANK OF ENGLAND STRUCTURE WITH TOWER BUILDING ARGUS. ING BRITlSHERS

LONDON, Jan 14.--WiIl London eventually come around to the idea of skyscrapers? An increasing num- Der of British architects are begin ming to think so The other day the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street, as the Bank of England is popularly 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 twenty-three story tower building.
 Professor Richardson drew a sketch of his proposed building, with architectural ornaments which give the appearance of church steeples This sketch, the author declared, was more to illustrate 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 dam- age to the general aspect.
 Such a case is the Bank of Eng Ian. have prepared this sketch partly to arouse criticism and dis cussion and partly to call attention to the fact that it should be possi- ble to build, from within the bank, a building which would act as foil to St. Paul's."
 Somebody thought of asking the opinion of the lord mayor on the proposed skyscraper, especially as his Mansion House is directly op- posite the site. He laughingly re- garded the entire plan as a joke.
 Among the English architects some favorable comment was elicited. One well-known architect came out pub licly in favor of the new idea.
 "The only trouble seems to me-"

NORTHWEST FLOUR
 REAL LIFE SAVERS
Provides Food and Clothes for Destitute; Milk Cans
 Become Tin Cups.

The accompanying photograph of a bright Near East youngster, clothed in Walla Walla, Washington flour sack, is strikingly significant of what aid given by the people of this north west has meant to the sufferers from homelessness and want in Asia Minor, and to what far distant points North west products have gone on their er- rands of mercy.
 This picture was snapped at Erivan, capital of Armenia, by Dr. Sherman L. Divine, 722 Peyton building, Spo- kane, during his recent trip as north west chairman of the Near East Re lief, to investigate conditions in the heart of that country, Southern Russia and Bible lands It is in that vast region of famine, disease and death, that the Near East Relief, backed by publicly subscribed funds, is battling to save the remnants of once power full races from final extinction by star vation. and training the orphans for self-support.
 With other big supplies of flour, purchased with Northwestern contri- buttons from the mills of Washing ton, Idaho, Utah and Montana the original content of the sack in the picture was dispatched to Armenia

 One huge building on this\ site would throw all the rest out of focus It would not be bad plan to rebuild the whole show on sound lines, not excluding the skyscraper, so long as the entire scheme is in harmony"
