President Coolidge and the Secre-
0ry Of State will pass finally on the
agitating question of whether the
White House shall be used as model
for the several embassy buildings
about to be erected in foreign capitals.
What caused the acrid controversy
is the suggestion that another man.
sion similar to that which faces on
Pennsylvania avenue and Lafa yette
Square should be built in Toxic to re-
place the fine embassy destroyed in
the earthquake. Architects through
out the land have scoffed the idea.
asserting nothing more incongruous
can be imagined than the heavy. sub
stantial lines of this Georgian colonial
mansion hallowed in American mem
ory because President Washington
himself approved its design, amidst
the light, delicate structures which
are typically Japanese. 1t seems alb
surd that however many White
Houses may be scattered in the capt.
tails of the world, none will be in
Toxic. Nor would the reproduction
seem appropriate in the Latin country
where the great square mansion pre-
walls, with the patio or inner court
giving air and light to every room.
Representative Porter of Pennsyl-
vania, who Is chairman of the com
mittee on foreign affairs, and who was
the first to make the suggestion pub
lie, acknowledging that there is much
interest In the idea that it is signifi
cant of what is called the hidebound
American point of view, still it should
be carefully considered from the idea
of environment. To the present the
United States has purchased cor been
presented with buildings. and no va
cant lot has yet been acquired where

House. Toxic is the one capital where
thegEoVernment owns land and not a
building.

Sir Edward Mountain, who IL the.
director Of London's greatest insur-

to turn the attention of weary bust

toward the Joy and exhiliration of
pigeon racing. London's pigeon popu-
lation this spring has passed the 5000
mark, and the effort made to slaughter
the birds and offer them for sale in
the markets proved failure. Several
pigeons were surreptitiously killed
and offered up in a pie. but the dish
smelled and tasted of petrol. which.
Of course. was tot be expected. since
everything which partakes of food

lieves that newspaper editors are too
smart to let him and that. If he did
it once, they would not trust him In
the future, and he would thus shut
off the channels through which he ac-
complishes his detectives. He told
me that he is also frequently charged
with grating newspaper space. AS
to this, he asserts that he probably
creates and recommends the use OF
more paid advertising than any other
individual in the country.
