Babylon Has Oldest
Known Building
In World.

The oldest building in the
world still standing above
ground has been found at Tell
Ell Obeid, Babylonia, four miles
from the city of Ur.
This was recently announced
by DIR. George B. Gordon, d.
rector of the University Mu-
scum, Philadelphia, in making
public a report from DIR. c.
Leonard Woolley, head of the
exploration expedition which
made the discovery.
The building is more than
5000 years old and its finding
has brought to light many mar
.velous examples and the archi-
tectural creative genius of prac-
teal building methods of 5000
years ago.
The front face of the struc-
ture now almost entirely un-
earthed, was found to be in ex-
cellent state of preservation, it
is declared, with attached half
columns of brickwork and re-
markable carvings of animals
and artificial flowers worked in
limestone. A series of terra
Gotta figures also adorn the wall
over the main entry.
1t is interesting to note that
these master builders who lived
and worked at a time as far
removed from the time of
ancient King Tut-Ankh-Amen as
the present generation is re-
moved from him in known his
tory, succeeded in carrying out
construction designs that have
survived through countless gen.
erations in almost perfect pres
ervation.

WOMAN PETS

Neighbors Appeal to Court to
End Nuisance of Nine
teen Goats.

NEW YORK, April "A new
scent that recently has pervaded
the chaste atmosphere of Highland
Falls led residents to a thorough
inquiry into the source Of the con-
trary perfume. When the wind
blew north complaint rose from one
section of the suburb, and when it
blew south, another section held
it's nose. The other day a confu-
sion of the breeZes spread indigna-
ton all over town.
A meeting brought the matter to
the attention of the mayor, the
police force and the board Of
health. Investigation disclosed that
Mrs. Bernard Gallagher, one of the
respected villagers, had acquired a
domestic menagerie of nineteen
goats, seven rabbits and three cats.
At night the cats sang as felines
will sing-of love, adventure and
hope.
During the day the rabbits
romped about, needless of boundary
lines and fences, and nibbled off
the pastures and lawns wherever
they went. But these two difficult
ties were as naught compared with
the problem Of the goats.
Nineteen goats make one gar
gantuan appetite. They ate the
grass, the seed, the rubbish, the
fence, the papers and the stored
provisions. They ate the snow and
prevented sleighing; chewed off the
ice. and put an end to the skating:
gCbbled up the bulbs and blasted
hopes for spring gardens, and
threatened to digest portions of anv
automobiles that might get stuck
in the mud near the Gallagher res.

BUILD 900
HOMES
Popular Priced Houses Are to
Be Constructed in Spanish
italian Style.

Joint announcements of the open
ing Of their new and larger offices
and Of the plan to build 500 popu-
lar.priced homes were made yester-
day by Jack M. Goldsmith, presi-
dent, Goldsmith and Company, 1405
I street northwest.
The new offices occupy half OF
the ground floor Of 1405 / street, a
building recently purchased by the
firm for its use and renamed the
Goldsmith Building" Goldsmith
stated that this move was made
necessary because Of constantly in
creasing business and need Of a
larger personnel to care for it.
The Spanish American Construc-
ton Company and the Finance Cor
poration of Washington, also head
ed by Goldsmith, will occupy the
same building. The enlarged per-
sonnet Of the firm includes w. C..
Martin, f. McKenna and w. B.
McEachern.
Goldsmith has just returned from
an extensive trip over the United
States studying plans and styles OF
Spanish and Italian type homes.
The Spanish american Construc-
ton Company, acting on the advice
of Goldsmith, plan to build about
500 Spanish and Italian style homes,
with an American conveniences.
The first IF these will be started
shortly on Connecticut avenue be-
tween the Chevy Chase and the
Columbia Country Clubs. There
will be about twenty-five homes in
this group, all of detached Spanish
styles, ranging in price from $4,000
to $4,000, and contaiping seven and
eight rooms, with all conveniences
possible to put into home.
Another plan under consideration
is construction of approximately
$50 Spanish and. Italian style homes
to contain six rooms and bath. All
will be detached and range from
SO 900 to $4,000. So far as posi-
BILE all homes will be individually
designed and, if desired, built to
exact plans of purchaser.
Goldsmith believes there ia a big
demand in Washington for de-
tached, individually designed homes
of the styles he expects his COM
pany will be able to sell before
completion.
Several considerations prevent
him announcing the location OF this
operation at this time. lie prom

BILLION BRICKS YEARLY
TO BE MADE SAME SIZE

Through the good offices Of Sec
rotary Hoover and the simplified
practice division OF the Department
of Commerce, the brick industry
has at one stroke been enabled
to sweep away an infinite variety
Of odd sizes Of brick and establish
one standard size for the 1000. O0O,-
900 building brick produced every
year in the United States.
This size is approximately sx3%x
~ inches: The only exception now
to be allowed is in the case of
smooth brick for special exterior
use, in which slight variation in
one dimension only is permissible.
The common brick industry es.
tablished the standard size some
years ago, but experienced trouble
because its standard was not in
sisted upon for public work and by
many architects.
With the Government now def
nitely supporting the industry in it's
efforts to standardize its product it
is expected that before long all
specifications will call for standard
size brick. to the great benefit not
only Of the brick industry but to
all users of its product.
