 One of the handsomest and most striking features of the new addition Is the board room, designed in the early English Elizabethian style, with brown wood panel walls, walnut floor and English strap work plaster ceiling in low relief geometric de- sign in warm ivory tone. Easement windows with feaden glass furnish light, combined with Elizabethian candle electric brackets. This room impresses one with it's quiet dignity. The wood work is antiqued and the plaster ceiling and cornice have the appearance of being weathered by time. Double windows assure quiet and the room is perfectly heated and ventilated, with no unsightly radi- ators marring it's beauty. A soft Persian rug completes the comfort and appearance of the apartment and furnishes a setting for the handsome walnut furniture. Here the board holds it's regular semi-weekly con fel ences, away from the hustle and hustle of the banking rooms.
 Another added feature is the di- rectors' room on the second floor This room has been outfitted in keeping with the other departments

Thermo- stats and hydrostats are placed in all sections of the banking rooms to maintain equal temperature and hu- midity. Fresh air comes from the roof, 200 feet above the street level. and is further purified by washing and heating before being delivered into the room area.

A. Dryer.
 Such phenomenal results have been obtained in receiving stations of ex- ceptional power on the programs ia the far western states that company officials have expressed the belief that their hope that the Birmingham broadcaster was heard in the Ht- waiian islands has been realized.
 All of the recipients of the mid night program on the Pacific coast were requested to wire comments and all day Saturday telegrams from the Pacific borders were coming in. One telegram from Vernon, British Co., lumbia, the farthest listener yet heard from, stated that the program was clear and excellent. Hood River Ore, a distance of over 2,0O0 miles reports the number came clear ane good. Other stations on the west coast who have replied to the in- quiries are: Wapato.
