Importance OF Pottery.
Fashions are the Psychologists key
to period. Just as we fix the Civil
War period by hoop skirts and the
1903 by puff sleeves and pompa-
dours. fashions in pottery fix the Chaco
Canyon periods. For this reason any
bits of pottery which DIR. Judd and his
assistants can recover by trenching
are important to round out the mar
velous story which has been revealed
by five years explorations.
Since the Bonitians had no written
language they had no way Of record

ARTS FEDERATION URGED
TO SAVE WILD FLOWERS
Mrs. T. w. Adams, Director of Ma
tional Movement, Asks Education,
Especially of Children.

The work of the National Wild
Flower Preservation Society in it's
relation to the promotion of art and
its appreciation, was discussed in
brief address by Mrs. T. w. Adams,
director of the society, before the
afternoon session Friday of the
American Federation of Arts at the
MaytloWer Hotel.
Mrs. Adams urged the federation 5
active support in the wild flower
preservation movement as a matter
closely related to the purposes and
interests OF the federation itself If
the general public, and children par
ticularly, can be made TO appreciate
the Importance OF preserving the
beauty of the countryside. Mrs.
Adams said, they will see that this
cannot be done if wild flowers are
picked. Eventually the gathering of
wild flowers. by preventing the flow
ers from going to seed, will virtually
denude the countryside particularly
near cities of its greatest beauty,
she said.

Construction authorities are at a
loss TO explain the big bulge In lum-
her orders and shipments, in view of
the decline in building permits. ex-
cept on the theory that there Is a
large volume of construction in the

not required. Both the hardwood and
softwood mills shared in the general
expansion of business.

line to make sure that ii was per-
fectly straight The lower ends of
all the floor bridging were left loose
until after the under floor was laid
and then nailed up tight. This re-
suits in smooth and level floor.
The curved staircase was drawn out

ton. and as the various sloping pieces
in the stair framing were put in
position each piece was tested for
its correct location by plumbing up
from the diagram on the floor.
The front door finish is in posi-

brackets, which will go in the posi-
lion where the two temporary wood
braces are now placed. These orna-
mental brackets were first drawn at
full size by the architect. they were
then modelled by an artist in that
line and were then criticized by the
architect. They will soon be ready
to be sent out to the job when called

the entire system of piping with

is required by the plumbing inspec-
tor of the District of ColuTcbia. This
consists Of stopping up all the ends
Of the pipes air-tight and then
pumping air in the pipes until 1t
reaches a pressure of not less than
three pounds to the square inch.
II the pressure gauge does not regis
ter any drop in pressure during a
given period, it is quite certain that
there are no leaks. Later on. after

be described in future article.
The plumbing in this house is laid
out by an improved method which Is
sanctioned by the District OF Co.

called the circuit or wet vent system.
The advantage to the future owner
Of the house is that the waste pipes
are extra large in size and there

that certain horizontal vent pipes
