AN OMISSION

In our report of the donation to
Union Hospital. furnished the MID
LAND JOURNAL last week. we are
very sorry to state we omitted
Colora and Oak Grove schools.
Both these schools sent US very
generous donations and the failure
to mention them in the report was
an unintentional oversight on our
part, for which we are indeed
sorry.
We wish to thank these two
schools, as well as all of our other
friends who responded so literally
to our appeal for donations.

INDIRECT LIGHTING.

An lighting is indirect, the main
source being a trough Of lights con-
cealed by a large moulding running
completely around the auditorium.
This is augmented by powerful lights
back of the skylights, and some frosted
fixtures placed over the outer aisle.
A feature Of this auditorium which
has received considerable favorable
comment is the art glass work in the
skylights and windows. There are
seven smaller skylights six feet square,
and one central octagonal art glass
unit IS feet across, in the design Of
which are depicted symbols. Begin
ming in the center with tue cloud rep
rescnting Jehovah We have a crown Of
fhorns interwovsn with cross. and
at the points OF this cross are symbols
Of the four evangelists, Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John, and between
these in octagonal shields arc other
emblems Of the Christian religion.
1T is hoped that this house Of wor-
ship will meet every requirement Of
this progressive congregation until
such time as they shall have outgrown

British and French governments for munitions and materials in the United States prior to our entrance into the war, gained the unique dis, tinction of having performed the largest transaction in tho history Of all business. While the exact vol. ume Of these purchases has never been revealed, 1t Is known that they ran into the billions of dollars.
 The guiding principle of his bus. ness life as described by his asso- ciatcs, was the belief that a busi- ness transaction that did not bene- fit both parties participating in it was bad business, He was educated at st. Louis university, with special courses of instruction in France, and after a brief experience in busi- ness at st, Louis he moved to Chi caGo, where his career began.
 He carly associated himself with the Stirling Co. which he later re- organized and finally consolidated with the Bahcock & Wilcox Co.,, ono of the largest manufacturers of water tube steam hoilcrs for station ary and marine purposes, stokers. superhc0tcrs and other boiler access sories. He was vice president Of the latter organization when in 1908 he was invited to join the Diamond Match Co. as treasurer. A year later he was elected president.

Morgan X Co. to assume charge of the supply de partment formed to fill the require. ments of the British and French governments for munitions and ma tcrials. This operation involved basic organizations in American in- dustrics. which previously were al, most entirely concentrated on the arts of peace and was destined tc have an important bearing on tho war making capacity nt the Y. S when, two years later 1t engaged ir thc conflict.
 He became a member of the firm , of ]. P. Morgan & Co. on January |. 1916. When tho |. & entered the great war he was appointed sur reyor general of supplies for tho war department. and successively as member of the war council, assistant secretary Of war. representative or the intcr-Hllied munitions cornell al Paris. and special representative tn Europe of tho war department.
 After the war he devoted much of his time to tho affairs of the Mer- cAntilc Tank Of the Americas and of tho General Motors Co.
