Valuable Advice,

DIR. Charles H. Mayo, world-famous
surgeon of Rochester, Mimi, last
night gave valuable advice to the
youth of this country in an address
before the American College of Sur
geons. Taking How to Grow Old
Gracefully" as his subject, DIR. Mayo
urged moderation in all things, and
pointed out that in many cases youth
burns up the human engine in the
first five hundred miles. Moderation
of living in youth and in the first
flush of young manhood and woman
hood, added to personal care, will as
sure a long and healthful life, accord
ing to the surgeon. Periodical medi-
cal examinations for the purpose of
checking disease in it's incipiency are
urged by DIR. Mayo to eliminate many
of the ills that attack the human sys.

Advice from the man who has at.

warning of what is later to come. The
boy or girl or young man or young

concerned, but they little realize the
insidious poisons inside their bodies
which are even then beginning to
make themselves manifest. The hui

face those who refuse to give it the
proper attention and care in the build

should be preached until needless

A Supreme Court Building.

Another step toward the completion
of the Governments equipment in
| Washington was taken yesterday,
when the Bureau of the Budget sub
mitted to Congress an estimate of
| 81 zoo. 900 for a site for building for
| the Supreme Court. Authorization for
! the building has been given in the
general public buildings act, and the
commission has decided to include it
in the early constructions to be un-
dertaken. The site itself has been
definitely chosen, being the square
lying Immediately north of the Lii
brary of Congress. A study for the
structural plans has been begun, and
it is, therefore. to be expected that
with the adoption of the estimate just
submitted the work will proceed
shortly.
Thus is brought close to accomplish
ment a project that for many years
has been held back for lack of defini-
ton. Long ago it was evident that
the Supreme Court, housed in the
Capitol since practically the begin
ming of the Government, should have
a home of its own. 1t has been
cramped in its accommodations in the
old Senate chamber. The judges have
been Interestingly crowded in their
individual quarters. In every branch
of the courts equipment it has been
under severe and increasing pressure.
Yet there was reluctance on the part
of the members of the court to leave
the Capitol, and there was difficulty in
deciding upon the exact site for a new
home.
With the location of the Library of
Congress on the squares to the east of
the Capitol it became evident that
the appropriate position for the SUI
preme Court was the corresponding
area on the other side of East Capt.
toll street. This would involve the
closing of Maryland avenue for one
block to the east of the Capitol, as
was done in the case of Pennsylvania
"AANA bAAI SAOA e1A NeNO AO~0NCh.
1t has now been determined to take
only portion of the space, leaving
Maryland avenue open as at present,
and to leave the area to the north to
be taken later for some other uses,
under the policy which is now defined
to surround the Capitol with strictly
public buildings.
In continuation of that policy it
will be next in order to provide for the
erection of the projected addition to
the House Office Building, provision
for which, it is expected, will be made
at the present session. Thus while
the work is in progress in the Mall
Avenue triangle in the provision of
structures for the executive depart
ments, plans win be advancing for
needed accommodations for the judi
cial and legislative branches Of the
Government on Capitol Hill. In this
manner the new Washington will be
developing tremendously.
