to the minors early the next spring

on behalf Of himself and Senator
Watson. Republican. Indiana, the
other minority member of the com
mittee Senator Ernst charged the
ma jority with purposely showing
'.only the rough spots" in the admin
istration Of the bureau by picking
out the unusual and unique cases
called to the attention of the com
nittee with a suggestion of irregu-
larity in the settlement.
Put the bureau has ended up with
q clean record even after that type
of an investigation" the minority re-
port said, adding that the inquiry had
disclosed no hint of any irregularity
or fraud"
High Praise for Bureau.
THAT the bureau can so success
fully withstand such a searching and
critical investigation is a great tribute
both to its present and past officials
and employees" the report declared.
"The bureau is entitled to the respect.
admiration and praise of the Congress
and of the country for the honest and
efficient way in which 1t has perform
ed it's work"
The ma jority Of the committee, com
posed of Senators Couzens. Repub-
lican. Michigan. chairman, and King.
Utah, and Jones. New Mexico, Demo-
Gratis was accused of violating the
spirit if not the letter of a Senate
resolution directing that the inveSti-
cation he discontinued June !, 1925,
after it had been under way for more
than Il year.
Senators Ernst and Watson declared
that before that date the majority
required the bureau to have prepared
and submitted photostatic copies of
all returns and papers in thousands
OF cases.
These photOStatS We're then eX-
amned by the attorneys and agents
of the committee without hearings,
the report added, and form, to large
extent, the basis of the ma jority re-

The further charge was made that

the ma jority based its report cenSur-
ing the bureau never We're presented
submit a justification or explanation
of the action taken and that. more
over, they never We're presented TO
the committee itself.
Finally. the ma jority was aSsailed
for failing to withhold its critical re
port until the minority had opportunity
to prepare its report 50 that the pub
lie could have at least heard both
sides"
Referring to the tax settlement case
of the Gulf Oil Corporation. in which
Secretary Mellon has an interest and
which the ma jority said had escaped
$4,590. 900 in taxation, the report said
the case was settled before Mr.. Mel
Ion took office and that criticism of it
was unjustified.
It added. however, that "the unfor-
tunate and wholly unwarranted inn
preston that may have been made in
the minds of the public through the
ma jority report cannot be
removed by this complete eXplana-
ton and justification of its settle
ment-"

MONTMARTRE LOSES OUT.

PARIS. February 6 CP.-Montpar-
nasse mas definitely superseded Mont
martre as the favorite resort of Paris
artists, and official figures have at
tested the success of the former in the
bitter rivalry which had grown up be-
tween the two quarters. Municipal
statistics on the distribution of artists
in Paris give Montparnasse 20 per
cent of the total, while Montmartre,
with II per cent, has fallen from it's
former leadership to third place, being
eclipsed even by the Grenelle quarter,
which lies just west of Montparnasse
and takes its overflow.
The fashionable quarters around the
Etoile, the Champs Elysees and the
Pare Monceau are fifth and sixth, but
the well known Opera, Madeleine and
boulevard districts have only a small
fractional representation.

Love for Brilliance Kills.

Recently the gizzard of valuable
hen was sent to DR.. Charles Murray
Of Ames. Iowa, for inspection, says the
Pathfinder. The giZzard was found to
contain dozen or more phon ograph
needles. Evidently the hen had been
attracted to the needles by their
brightness. and. mistaking them for
food or grit, had swallowed them.
1t is a natural characteristic of
chickens, says DR.. Murray. to be at
tracted to bright objects. Around the
Fourth of July every year several
cases are reported of poison among
chickens due to their picking up pieces
of uneXploded firecrackers. They are
attracted by the bright colors of the
explosives and are poisoned by the
red phosphorus which they contain.

Architects Should Be

! Paper Architecture" Now artistic
ability on paper is a necessary
qualification for an architect, but
I'VE must get away not only from

Then we will begin to have the
real stuff once more-the kind of
architecture we study about in

architecture that thrills US when

architects"
Mr.. Frohman paid tribute to the
work of the American Institute Of
Architects in raising professional
standards, and asserted that still

Six years later the building at

some of our recent civic architec.
ture, and some of our memorials
which have been erected in honor
of the great and illustrious dead.
1T is hopeless to talk about
trying to invent a national Ameri.
can style of architecture. In the
first place. real architecture is not
an invention, but work OF creation
and evolution. In the second place,
our modern civilization has too
many diverse and opposite qualities
striving for expression to permit
Of its being exemplified by one
architectural style.
Uniformity Not Desirable
mot only is it impossible to
achieve unity of architectural style
under present circumstances, but
such uniformity would be undesir.
able and inconsistent. We have to
deal with not only different in
stitutions, but with varied ma
terials and forms of construction
and with climatic conditions which
are as different as those which
influence the architecture of Eng.
land and of Spain.
What Is possible, however, and
what we should endeavor to lc-
complish, is to develop the most
fitting forms of architectural ex.
preston for our various institu-
lions and the most logical types
of design for our methods OF con-
struction and climatic conditions.
IF you keep on doing this we are
bound to develop new and living
STYLES of American architecture. We
may achieve architectural styles
which in refined beauty and logic
may equal or surpass the architec.
ture of ancient Greece and me-
diaeval France and England.
May Transcend Middle Age
'If our civilization becomes a
purely materialistic one we may
evolve an art which will equal that
Of ancient Greece and Rome, and we
may have an architecture which vii!
be more logical than that OF the
renaissance.
"If we progress as a Christian
civilization and il our architects
prove equal to the task of express
ing our Hottest aspirations it is pos
sible that we may even transcend
the architecture Of the Middle
Ages"

ACACIA BUILDS

Work soon will begin on the first
anti of the new. home office build.

OF washington d. c.. at the corner
Of First Street and New Jersey

announcement by officials of the
company.
It is stated that the entire build

structure Of granite and limestone,
ia be erected at q cost of 81, 0O0. 900.
Hoggson Brothers. Of New York
will supervise the construction work.
Present plans call for completion
Of the building program within the
next five years.
The amazing developing of the
Acacia Mutual Life Association,
and particularly during the last two
decades. has many times emphasized
the need for more adequate housing
facilities for the home office OF
this national Masonic life associa-
tion, and the history of that period
r. one of repeated outgrowth of
cramped quarters into larger and
more commodious ones. Each new
move on the part of the Acacia
was thought sufficient to take
care of present and future needs.
and each time expanding business
made still more space essential.
Began IN Two Rooms
When Williams Montgomery, now
president was elected secretary IN
1893, the two small rooms in a
+ building at 419 Eleventh st. N. W.
then used by the association were
. enough for current needs. How
ever. in 1904 the home office was
moved, as a result of increasing
BUSINESS. TO the Huyler Building at
Twelfth and r Streets Northwest,
and in three years these quarters
were outgrown and the association
did business from the bank build
ing at Twelfth and G Streets
Northwest. Once more. in 1911,
the association was, by virtue Of
an expanding clientele, forced to
take additional space, and this was
