IN THE NATIONS CAPITAL
(By Stephen james,

leaders mature, the next few
years will see remarkable changes
in the physical appearance of the
Capital City.
A gigantic building program is
contemplated, intended ultimately
to house all government depart
ments and bureaus in government
owned buildings. At present, al-
though the property holdings of
the Federal government in Wash
ington are very large, perhaps
as large a number of employees
are working in rented buildings
as in government structures. The
annual rental is amazing, and it
is to reduce this cost, ultimately
to eliminate it altogether, and at
the same time preserve the archi-
tectural appearance of the city,
that the building program is
sponsored.
The last Congress appropriated
$3.50, 900, 900 for the erection of
government buildings, the sum to
be expended over a period of
years. Now the forthcoming
Congress is to be asked to set
aside another S25,OOO,O 900 for the
purchase of all land contiguous
to the south side of Pennsylvania
avenue. If Congress agrees, and
it is expected to do so, virtually
the entire avenue from Capitol
Hill to the White House will be
Swallowed by massive structures,
located and planned for the great
est efficiency of the army of
Federal workers.

Forests Contribute More
 Water Than Do Lakes

Ithaca, N. Y. Aug. 19 P-Forests contribute more water vapor to the air than lakes and streams and con- sequently are the actual rain pro- ducing sections of continent. Raphael Zon, Of the United States forest service, St. Paul, Minn., told the forestry section Of the lnterna- tional Congress of Plant Sciences here today.
 Modern studies of the circulation of water in the atmosphere have tended 10 upset the old theory that wind carried vapor from the oceans over the continent, where it con- densed in the form of rain or snow. MT. Zon declared. It is now believed, he added that the oceans contribute only two-ninths of the precipitation. and that the remaining seven -ninths is delivered from evaporation from the land itself.
 Measurement of evaporation, he explained, has shown that lakes and streams contributed less vapor to the air than bare moist soils; that bare moist soils contribute less than land covered with grass and crops; and that of all vegetative coverings, a dense forest contributes most va DOT.
