100000 GARAGE
|. SOON TO Be READY
New Venture Here for Hous-
ing Autos Held Largest
in Section.

The Capital Garage. said to be the
largest special purpose building of its
kind in this section of the country
and representing an investment ap'
proximating S2,000.000 for land and
building, virtually is completed AT
1312-1320 New York avenue. on the
site of the old Hall of the Ancients.
The building will be ready for occu-
pany March Is. officials of the com
pany announced today.
This huge structure, 10 stories in
height and having two basement
floors, will house ! 200 automobiles
at one time, according to construction
engineers. 1t has a floor space total
ing six acres in area. The building
has a frontage of 100 feet on New
York avenue and II street, which in
tersects with the avenue at an angle
west Of Thirteenth street, and has a
depth of 213 feet.
Alphabetically Attractive.
Alphabetically attractive for a
building of its proportions, the build
ing is designed to conceal it's mass.
having long lines featuring it's IA
cade. Windows running continuously
through seven floors consume a. large
portion of the front of the building.
The sides and rear of the structure
also are devoted largely to window
space, giving maximum natural light
ing for the interior.
The face of the building is of a cast
stone composition of concrete and
granite chips, which gives the APP
pearance Of large granite blocks.
The idea of the parking garage
building was put into concrete form at
the time when there first was serious
talk of beginning all parking in down
town streets. Shannon & LuchS sold
the idea to the Capital Garage, which
has carried the project to completion.
Building Well Planned.
Expert builders and garage men
pronounce this building one of the
best planned of its type in the coun-
try. Inclined planes or ramps run
from floor to floor, over which cars
can be driven in high gear from the
basement to the top of the building.
The ramps are Is feet q de and have
a grade about the same as Sixteenth
Street Hill. Separate ramps are pro-
vided for up-and-downg1lde traffic to
avoid congestion.
The James Baird Co. is the builder.
e. B. Asher is president of the COM
tary-treasurer. The other members
to Mr.. Asher and Mr.. Ely, are: w. F.
Ham, G. Thomas Dunlop, Hugh

BUILDING IN j. s.
SHOWS DECLINE
Slight Increase in Washing
ton in January Over Decem-
Der, Survey DiscIoSes.

That building operations through
out the country are now on DEFINITE
downward trend was again indicated
in the building permit reports Of 467
cities submitted to S. w. Straus &
Co. for January. These places showed
a loss of 20 per cent from December.
although the average decline from
December to January since the war
has been II per cent. AS compared
with the records of January last year
there was a loss of more than II per
cent. The volume of building plans
filled and permits issued for the month
was the smallest for any January
since 1922.
Increase for Washington.
The report showed a slight increase
for Washington in January over De
cember, 1926, but a considerable de
cline last month from the totals for
January, 1925 and 1926.
The permits for last month here,
according to the report, amounted TO
81 ,905, 1855, as compared to $2.S46,340
in December, 1926; $3,72S,980 in Janu-
arv. 1926, and $4,269,815 in January
1925.
1t is interesting to note that the
group of 25 cities which led the rest
of the list in permits issued in Janu-
airy lost only 2 per cent over January
year ago The group consisting of
the 442 remaining places lost % per
cent. 1t is to be assumed with some
certainty that similar losses have been
experienced throughout all the non
reporting cities and towns of the
country inasmuch as the bulk of &C
tivities, with a few scattered excep-
tions. is taking place in the larger
centerS.
1t is also important. in any consider
alton of the building trend, to note
that January was the seventh con-
secutive month, since June, 1926, that
has shown a loss over the correspond
ing month of the previous year.
Totals for January.
The January total for the ACT COM
parable cities was $3.50 $685. 74, COM

COPPER OLDEST METAL

copper might fifty be called the
first of metals, for it was first
to be adapted by man to his ord
mary uses. Probably the men of
the bronze age found the metal
in its native state, as it occasion
ally occurs; perhaps some cave
mar built fire over copper, ore
exposed on the strface, and IN
Willingly built the first smelter.
However it might have been di-
scovered, primitive man after To-
ng centuries was using copper to
replace his crude stone and bone
implements. Then again. by acc
ident perhaps: the alloy of copper
with tin or zinc. which makes br-
ass and bronze, was discovered,
and this was the great metal OF
antiquity.
Mining and reduction OF metals
is as safe and sound a business as
selling flour or running a bank.
Mining develops every other in
dnstry-farming, railroading, mer-
chandising; it is the great build
err fo any nation.
Some Of the capital that is go
!nginto speculative adventures

FUEL REVOLUTION

Our country is undergoing

BUILD AND LEI BUILD

AS far back as history begins
there have been persons who
have stood in the way of prog
rcss, some reasons mercenary,
others because of a real lack Of
vision or natural narrow tend
.encies.
It is matter of record that
The builders of the ancient cit
les and public monuments,
some of which still exist were
met by hundreds Of obstacles
placed is their way by vision
less men, who did not have the
future interests of their COM
munities and the world at
heart.
This same condition may be
applied to our own community
today. We see opposition to
things which would eXpediate
business or cause an economic
Improvement or would in hum
anity's sake afford protection
against sickness or the killing
Of hundreds Of motorists or ped
estrians. Here there. should be
no room for otstructionist.
Clintwood is building pages Of
history and there should be
nothing at this time to hamper
its progress.
The truly great men of all
zine is the. builder, the one
who produces or helps to pro
duce. The parasite, who does
nothing for himself or fellow
man is a cheat and the one who
nterferes with progress is lit
lie better. Build and let build
should be our motto and the
futuge will comfcrtbly arrange
Itself. There are many things
to be considered in the building
UP of a community. Ten mer
can Go more than one and wher
these ten men are arranged ii
team formation, their work car
not only count much more thar
ten times put, in fact, twenty
times as much.

tiny column of smoke assembled
from his bowl. And through it
all he wore a happy smile.
There was a delightful infor-

this performance.

Of course everybody in Chap

the new stadium was christened

A country club is being es-
tablished on. the southwest
edge of the village, out beyond
the end of Cameron avenue, by
a group of Chapel Hill negroes.
Charles Craig, the contractor,
one of the most Industrious and
well-to-do negroes in the village,
is building the house. 1t is a
frame building with fire proof
roof and will cost between $4,000
and $4,000. Completion is ex-
pected within a week or so.
The principal feature of the
structure is an assembly room
46 feet long by 36 feet wide. Ad-
jacent to it are a dining room, a
kitchen, a game room, and a
cloak room. There are 3 IL
acres in the grounds, and some
of this space will be devoted to
a tennis court.

To Debate with BritOns
3 North CarOlinians and English
. men to Argue about Peace

The ways to world peace will
be the subject of an Anglo
American debate in Memorial
hall Tuesday evening. But Eng
land and America will not be
lined up in opposition to one an
other. Two Americans and one
Englishman will be on one side,
and one American and two Eng
lishmen on the other.
The Query is: Resolved, that
the only effective attitude to-
ward war is an uncompromising
pacifism.
When the English debaters
came here two or three years ago
a vote of the audience was taken
at the close of the debate. This
time a vote will be taken before
the speaking begins and again
when it ends. Thus will be learn
ed to what extent the hearers
opinions have been changed by
the arguments.
The visitors represent the
three British universities of
Edinburgh, Reading, and Lon
don. The University of North

Ancient Art Discussed at Study Club Meeting

The Art Study Club dealt with
early art at it's meeting Monday
evening, and the historic side
of the subject was presented by
Mrs. Caldwell and Miss Alma
Holland: Mrs. Caldwell showed,
among other pictures, Tut-ankh-
Amen's parlour chairs and a
day bed whose dainty design re-
minded one of Madame Recam-
ier's. Miss Holland, with black
board and map, discussed the
Minoan age of art. She showed
illustrations of pottery designs
and gave a description of the
Palace of Knossus built 5000
years ago, which she said housed
waterworks superior in sanitary
engineering to ours of today.
Mrs. J. Penrose Harland ended
the program with a vivid ac-
count Of the actual methods of
excavation which have uncover
ed these ancient art treasures.
Mrs. Harland said that the work
men who. did the digging
thought it rather silly to save
these ancient bits of crockery
and would not examine each
shovel full of dirt until promised
a bonus for every object they
found. Later it was discovered
that one man had broken a val
liable vase in order to receive
a bonus on each piece. The sys-
TEN of reward had to be changed
speedily to meet this emergency.
