New Britain herald., 1927-09-29

Where the truth is intensely ex- cited the liars greatest temptation is removed.
 If it's very small village noon is 12 o'clock by the sun and the smell of frying beefsteak.
 The millennium will be here soon after nations become as mortified by their own sins as they are by the other fellows.
 Just what would happen if some body should offer a s25.00 prize to the first who dives off of the Wash ington monum
 A village is a place where the man who has shoe shine on Wednesday is travelling salesman. Where there is one to ask Who's Hoover?" there are thousands who can answer.
 Forward looking women object to man-made laws. AS if there was any thing the matter with Moses.
 l knew him when: "He displayed the clements of success early in life Was always the first to find the one dry spot on the old roller towel"
 Americanlsm: Laughing at the flivver; buying one.
 As a rule man is considerate when speaking of hips. It is the woman who makes reference to hams.
 Fable: An optimist and pessi- mist talked the matter over at lunch con and agreed that there is constant danger of a tidal wave of honesty engulfing the nation."
 Perhaps we have become so thor oughly impregnated with the idea that speed is everything that we are getting ahead Of the slow processes of evolution.

Capitol Architect Razing 81
Structures in Path of
Avenue to Station.

The Architect of the Capitol, David
Lynn, has started wrecking 81 houses
on land owned by the Government
between the Capitol and Union sta
ton. which is to be handicapped under
tile supervision of the best landscape
artist in the country as a park extern
sion of the Capitol grounds. The
houses come within the area through
which the new wide avenue from
Union Station to Pennsylvania avenue
will be built
Government Hotels Remain.
All of the structures in this area
not occupied by Government aetivi-
ties are to be torn down. After Con-
gress reassembles further instructions
will he asked regarding the removal
of what are known as THE Govern
ment Hotels" which are temporary
buildings put UP during the war as
dormitorieS for woman war workers,
and which are still occupied by Gov
eminent employees. In one of these is
located the Juvenile Court and in an
other the. District National Guard has
Its headquarters.
The removal Of the old houses is
under the personal direction of the
architect of the Capitol. After com
petitive bids had been received for the
material in these old houses a con
tract was let to Louis Hall. the high
est bidder. who has paid $3.50.
Considers Contract Favorable.
AS the work of demolition will cost
only about So 600. Architect Lynn
feels that this was a very advan-
tageous contract.
The Sidney L. Hechinger Co. has
purchased from Contractor Hall all
of the disable material in the "a
houses. These are located at 81 to As
3 street, 2l0 to 23S New Jersey ave-
nue. and $40 to 332 Delaware avenue
northeast.
