GutterSon of the control committee

"The United States us a creditor
nation is now faced with oppOrtuni-
ties and responsibilities which she
has not had before"
Mr.. Young said, III accepting the in
%itation TO assume the leadership:
sTf we are to discharge these ade-
Quately, we must educate ourselves.
in order to educate ourselves, we
must organize for the purpose, be-
cause our very rcmoteneSS prevents
us from coming into immediate and
daily contact with international
problems in such a way as the
peoples of Europe by their closer
contacts must necessarily do. The
need of a graduate school, built
on the principles of research, seems
TO me not only obvious, but pressing.
School Well Located.
Certainly an appropriate institu-
tlOn TO gOlOe the post graduate Work
in the field of research, is Johns Hop
&ins. 1t is we'll located territorily
and has an excellent record in the
field of productive research. The
spirit of the place is sound. and last
of all, but not least, the school will
be a fitting memorial to Walter
Hines Page, whose extraordinary
work and fine spirit has contributed
so much to the feeling of solidarity
among English-speaking peoples"

THE WORLD'S.LARGEST
BUILDING

That sounds big and 1t is big.
America, today, grows and moves
with such rapid strides-progress be-
ing the order of the day-that the
largest of anything of its particular
kind does not so remain very long.
In 1922, the General Motors building
in Detroit was the largest building
in the world. In 1923 the honor was
transferred to Chicago.
The so-called Furniture Mart, that
substantial-looking structure which
rises on the shore of Lake Michigan
north of the mouth of the Chicago
river, has the distinction of being the
largest building in the world.
This building Is sixteen stories tall
and covers an entire block of ground,
240 feet one way and 467 feet the
other way. The combined area of It's
16 floors makes the astounding total
of 100000 feet. or upward of %
acres, while the cubical capacity of
this INDUSTRIOUS project mounts to the
unbelievable total of 100000 cubic
feet. Think of it!
Then get this! Three trainloads or
$500 piling were used for foundation
purposes. Three million feet of lum-
Der were used in connection with the
concrete work. Other materials of
construction included such items as
$4,000 barrels of cement; 10000 cubic
yards or wagonloads Of gravel; 4.5OO,.
600 common brick and 100000 face
brick; $500 tons of reinforced steel |;
miles and miles of piping for, water
Ing and heating purposes and miles
and miles of wiring for electric light
ing and other purposes, and 100000
square yards Of plastering.
The exterior finish of this colossal
building is of the so-called Gothic
treatment, the material being dark
gray brick with terra Gotta trimmings.
The top story contains restaurant
which seats $50 diners at one time.
The bulk weight of the building Is
estimated to be 325.000000 pounds.
The estimated cost of the ground and
building was placed at $10,000.O00.
The Furniture Mart is an addition
extraordinary to Chicago's many re-
markable buildings and its wonderful
business enterprise.

THINGS
UNUSUAL
cHICAGO'S UNDERGROUND
RAILROAD
BY 7. MAxEY
q. Western Newspaper Union.l

The main retail and skyscraper dis
trict of Chicago Is jammed into what
has been aptly termed the dreaded
mile square and known as "The
Loop" The traffic congestion which
naturally resulted and steadily grows
worse as business increases, produces
myriads of vexatious delays which re-
suit in costs beyond computation. nu-
merous mishaps and the unnecessary
use Of countless swear words.
In SO large city, the incessant
traffic necessary to move supplies
from rail depots to stores and fac
tories. shipments from salesrooms and
factories to freight terminals, mall,
coal to boiler rooms, ashes and exca-
waited. material for new buildings to
dumps. etc., reaches a startling mag
nitude and becomes an increasingly
serious problem-the corner of State
and Madison streets, for instance, is
said to be the busiest corner in the
world
: To relieve the congestion and cut
down the delay, far-sighted corpora
tion constructed an intricate system
of underground tunnels through which
railroad operates. Now much of this
traffic is economically, quickly and
conveniently trundled through this I'M
derground artery of commerce-dur-
ing a recent year about 611,000 tons
OF freight, $4,000 tons of coal and 219.-
600 wagonloads' of excavated material
and cinders.
Six feet wide and tx feet high. and
surrounded by Pinch wall of solid
concrete, these tunnels are from AZ to
10 feet below the street surface. The
method of construction left no. chance
for cave-ins or settling and has not
interfered with the foundations of
buildings. There is little water seep-
age, the average temperature Is So de-
grees. winter and summer, and the
frequent passage Of trains provides
natural and adequate ventilation,
There are 60 miles of these horse
shoe-shaped tunnels. in which there
are 40 crossings, $50 intersections,
and 1884 switches. The equipment
includes 1872 electric motors and 5000
cars, each 4 feet wide, u feet long,
and holding from b to 6 tons, depend.
ing on the nature of the load. The
track gauge is feet. The tunnel and
Its equipment represents an invest
ment of about $4O,OOO,OOO. The OPERA
ton requires about $40 people.
Train movements are controlled by
telephone-a system of signals operat-
ing to avoid collisions at street inter-
sections. In case of fire. deluge Of
water is prevented by heavy tight-fit-
ted iron doors over all shafts leading

There are connections with univer-
