Upstairs there are two bedrooms,

order to save expense and not devote
too much useful space to the stairway,
it was made as inconspicuous as pos
sible. A stairway can be made the
most interesting feature of the house.
but in this case it is not needed for
picturesque effect and, therefore, has
been made as unobtrusive as possible.
The planting could be made semi
formal around this type of house, as
there is just touch of dignity about
the design which would lend itself to
a bit of formality. However, 2ative
shrubs and flowers should always be
used They grow better and are more
at home in appearance.
Since the prices OF material and Ia
Dor vary so materially in different 10

estimate as to cost. but suggest that
YOU consult your local builder, who
can give YOU detailed information as
to the cost of your exact needs TO be

Washington Eighth.

Washington now stands eighth
among the - leading cities of the
country in regard to building activi-
ties. Every one of the cities that are
ahead of Washington are very much
larger, and are for the most part great
industrial centers.
One of the outstanding features of
last months building was the erection
OF 26 apartment houses at cost of
S2.0SS. 600. This is tremendous jump
in apartment construction when COM
pared with the six buildings erected
in March and the number erected in
previous months.
While the amount of money eX
pended in the construction of resi-
denceS in April was $3.50, 200. or
slightly less than the outlay on this
type of construction in March. the
total value of the new housing units
erected in the city last month was far
ahead. In March the value of apart
ments and residences erected was
$3.222 000 in April it was S4,67S, 200.
This increase of 81 .456,200 is due to
the unusually large amount of apart
ment- house construction last month.
An analysis of building last month
shows that S5.9S3225 of the grand
total was in new buildings and $751;
l19 was in repair work. AS might
he expected the Northwest section
of the city proved the largest field for

THIN SPOTS IN SKIN 'OF EARTH CAUSE
 TROPICAL CLIMATE

Are there places in Alaska hitherto undiscovered, which owing to thin spots in the earth's skin, are blessed with a tropical climate, with flora and fauna found only in the equato- rial belt? Such would appear to be a fact, if the assertions of Hank Rus sell, we'll known sea otter hunter of early days, and an explorer of note, are to be taken seriously. MT. Rus sell and companion last year trav- eled over a large part of the Seward peninsula hitherto untrod by the foot of white man, and report finding broad valley many miles from the coast, where the temperature was so moderate in the dead of winter, that green grass, singing birds and large timber was found. ...

surface of the earth. He stated that the earth was uncomfortably warm to their moccasins, and in many spots steam jets spouted many feet into the air, causing a dense fog in their vicinity.
 The walls around the old crater are about 1500 feet in height and very precipitous, the only entrance being along the banks of the river, through the canyon. Mir. Russell and his com panion were several days making their way from the spot to a point with which they were familiar They believe the valley is very old, as large trees were found where the country should have been bare of vegetation.
 The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes in the heart of the Katmai district, has thousands of these fu- meroles which are so hot that cook ing may be done over them, and many of them melting lead and tin, so great is the heat. By scraping away the

high peak one morning, and notic- ing a verdant spot in the midst of snow covered peaks, determined to investigate. They travelled for hours over the steep range, hunting way to descend the walls of the emerald jewel with an ermine setting, and finally following up narrow canyon came out into a valley several miles broad and circular in form, in which green grass stood shoulder high and trees two to three feet in diameter were to be found, They stated that the valley apparently had been the bed of an extinct volcano, which had filled up with water as the fires died away, and bursting out a side wall formed a river flowing into Boring Sea. Entrance to the valley was thru narrow portal, alongside the crystal waters of the small stream.
 Entering the valley it was stated that the first thing noted was green grass shoulder high with many vari- hued flowers on the slopes of the towering hills. Birds by the thou sands were seen, principally warblers, with a few robins. On a small lake about a mile long and a half mile across were flocks of geese and ducks. Broad game trails were worn in the soil, and great herds of caribou and other animals gazed curiously at the invaders. The climate was unpleas- antly warm to the two men coming from zero temperature, and parkas and furs were speedily laid aside, the men basking in the heat Numerous brown and black bears were seen at the edge of the valley, near where the snow line came down from the high hills, and steam jets and fumeroles spurted up in many spots nearby
 MT. Russell declared that while they remained in the valley their meals were cooked over fumerole, and that it was so warm that their sleeping bags were discarded and piles of the green grass cut for their beds.
 In looking over the valley the two men found the tracks of several ani- mals, the species with which they were unacquainted. These tracks were too large for bears, being some IS inches in diameter and perfectly round with three depressions in the front of the tracks resembling toes, Had they been living in a prehistoric age, MT. Russell declared he would be- i1eye the tracks to have been made by mastodon or mammoth, but as they became extinct before the glacial De riod, they could not determine thei, origin. They also saw bear tracks of enormous size, and in places the bushes were torn up for several yards branches being broken many feet from the ground.
 A close search of the valley reveal ed no animal large enough to make tracks anywhere near this size. anG unless the creature lived in the warm waters of the lake they were unable to account for it's whereabouts.
 MT. Russel believes that the phe nomenon encountered is caused by volcanic fires existing close to the

citizen.
The Assistant Secretary of War and
Mrs. MacNider have just taken pos
session of their new home, at 221S
Wyoming avenue. and Mrs. MacNider
probably will enter into social affairs
soon after the 1st Of January. She is
well equipped for her new duties, for,
in addition to being college bred, and
that means a thorough preparation
for the most exacting obligations. she
was much in the center of things In
Mason City. Her induction into her
present lofty place was hailed with
delight by a large circle of friends.
BY an interesting juncture of affairs
Mrs MacNider Is the youngest
matron in the group represented by
the assistant secretaries, just as her
husband is the youngest in the little
cabinet. SAe is tall and graceful, with
easy, cordial manners. though well
poised and dignified. She always has
been inclined to athletics, preferring
HORSEBACK riding TO golf or tennis.
Col. MacNider has never before
lived in Washington, though he has
scores of friends at the Capital. He
is best remembered here as the man
who might have succeeded Senator
Kenyon when that statesman forsook
the National Legislature for the
bench But the present aide in the
War Department, after a most bril-
liant war record in France, had been
enthusia stically elected head of the
American Legion. He had marked
out a line of work in this position,
and he felt to desert his Office, even
