MQndQn NeWS
Receding Missouri
Gives N. p. Trouble
With Water Supply

The Northern Pacific railway has
been having difficulty with its water
supply of late. according to John
Pennington Of the store house.
The trouble became quite serious
last Saturday when, on account Of
the lowering of water i'm the Missouri,
a sand bar began covering the intake
pipe.
Andrew Hanson, supervisor of the
bridge and building department, ar
rived Saturday and has been looking
after the installation Of an auxiliary
pump house. This temporary pump
ing station is being located LOO feet
out on the sand bar and will serve
the purpose of getting the water from
the river into the water mains of the
company for the supply Of all their
different buildings. The operation Of
the auxiliary pumping station will
probably continue for couple Of
months, or until the water rises and
the regular intake is found to be
sufficient again.
This is the second time the COM
pany has had to install the auxiliary
pumping station in order to take
care Of its water needs. Last sum-
mer was the first time. Previous to
last summer it had always built a
flue when the water rcccdcd to too
low a point to bring it up to the in
take.

Chicago Changes
COl0rs Weekly For
Its N ew Visitors

Chicago, Aug. 5-LR-Not since
the world war has Father Dearborn
had flags and bunting on his store
fronts and houses in such profusion
for SO long time as the opening
weeks of this summer.
And perhaps never before have so
many pulled the latchstring to spend
a few days. Since early June. when
flags were mingled with white and
gold bunting for the Eucharistic con-
gress, the city has been gayly decor
ated continuously.
Even before the twelve cardinals
and 100000 other Catholic visitors had
departed. the yellow and blue bunting
in honor of the Crown Prince Of
Sweden had replaced the papal colors
for a week. Then posters welcoming
100000 Moose blossomed in every
window. with the flags still flying.
Next came 100000 Elks and the bunt-
ing was changed to purple and white.
The city fathers entered officially
into the race for the title of "con-
vention city" by ordering an elab-
crate court Of honor around the block
occupied by the City Council build
ing. As one set of visitors succeed
ed another. the big plaster plaques
on the forty foot pillars were chang
ed to the coat of arms Of the current
group. The festoons of electric lights
joining the huge pillars were dyed
each weekend to display the col0rs Of
the latest arrivals.

Dishonest Bankrupts I
Hit BY Amended Laws

New York, Aug. 5--dl-Fraud-
ulent bankruptcies, which have been
a thorn in the side Of honest bust
ness for many years, will face severe
setbacks in amendments to the pres
emit laws which will become operative
August 81.
Bankruptcy laws originally were
constructed to aid honest debtors in
freeing themselves Of insurmount-
able obstacles. However, LOSSES at
tributable to fraudulent bankruptcies
have constituted "a real menace to
the business structure of the. ma

Of Accountants.
Complaints against the present
law, which the accountants assert
the amendments will rectify, include
the following:

friendly Or fictitious creditors at the
request of the debtor; they fai! to
prevent the making of fraudulent

Insurance Premium
Boost Not Confined
to North Dakota

Increases in fire insurance rates in
many North Dakota cities and towns
are in part the result Of recent un-
favorable experiences by insurance
companies, S. A. Olsness, commits
sioner of insurance, said here today.
These increases are not confined
to North Dakota, but. are general
throughout the country, Olsness said.
Reports received at his office indi-
cate that rate rcvisions have been
made applicable to most of the cities
and towns in the state. In some
cases local conditions have caused
the cost Of insurance to 70 higher
in some towns than in others, where
facilities for preventing and cxtin-
gushing fires are better.

SHIRT FRONT
BUILDING MODE
Is ATT ACKED
Architects Claim They Design
Structure 10 Meet Build.
crs' Demands

Chicago. Aug. s. @ Campaign
have been launched b. civic beauty
organizations and bodies connect
ct with architectural and structural
industries to eliminate the two Eat
trocities' Of modern city building
the "shirt front style Of architec
ture and the placing of unsightly
pent houses and water tanks on
roofs.
A "shirt front building is one of
which only the street elevation IL
given a finished architectural treat
ment. the sides and back being OF
unification with the front.
Rough Finish SpoiIs Beauty
Architects who design such build
ings claim that i, is not from in
clination but at the bchest Of the
owner or builder who wished to
save money. Those opposed to this
building style point out that in sky
scrapcr construction the sides and
rear Of building are almost as
noticeable as the front and there
fore the rough finish Of these walls
dctracts from the beauty Of tho
building and also Of the surround
ings.
The modern trend in high struc-
lures among builders with an eye
for beauty as well as utility is to
treat the entire building as a unit.
Of which the four sides have an
equal value. rather than rs pile of
masonry with only IA fine face. In
order to achieve this unity and also
to give more pleasing appearance
to sheer walls Of buildings in which
it is not practicable to place win
dOws. shaded brick often is used to
create the impression Of windows.
inches and set design.
Hiding water" Tanks
The ugly roof structures, which
make the skyline Of many cities
appear as seas Of water tanks and
packing boxes, have come in for
vigorous condemnation, particularly
by city beautiful organizations. And
here, the clever architect. aided by
builder who believes the beauty
achieved is worth the money expend-
ed. is coming to the rescue.
In many modern buildings these
unsightly structures are so placed
as to form an integral part OF the
building unit. in other words, placed
inside and surrounded by a roof.
Skyscrapers Of the old school were
packing box affairs, with flat
roof surrounded by a gigantic cor
nice and surmounted by small SER
vice structures. The upbuilding Of
roofs over pcnt houses and water
tanks and smokcstacks gradually is
eliminating this style Of archtcc-
turc and resulting in structures Of
pleasing proportions from the base
to the top.
