JOHN H. MANNING BUTLER, an

American Negro, who went to Phil
ippine Islands as a teacher more
than generation ago, has been pro
noted to the Division Superintcnd-
ency Of one Of the largest provinces
of the Islands. He is recognized also
as the author of school textbooks
used there fer the education of eight
million Filipinos. He is spperin.
tendent of two divisions, each OF
which formerly had a white superin-
tendent at its head The examina-
ton which he passed resulted in his
receiving higher average than any
other person had hitherto obtained.
He is probably the first Negro in his
tory to reach school superinten len
cy with full powers equal to those
held by graduates Of leading univer-
sites Of America. With 10000 pu-
pills, 4 high schools. 40 intermediate
and 800 primary schools to direct,
one of the high schools mainly stated
by whites, in addition to 2 trade
schools, it would seem that he is do
ing a monumental work in his capac-
ity Of Division Superintendent of
Schools for provinces of Isabella and
Cagayan.-Opportunity.

HarnOnized Design
IN designing this building an At
tempt has been made to harTnonize
yesterday and today. To the de-
signs that are associated with the
early history of the United States
have been added the methods and
data or the present time.
One Of the features Of this build
ing that is new In Washington aFchi-
lecture III set back at the
sixth floor on each side of the pedi-
nnent. This Is necessary to make
the pediment effective and also
gives more form to the building.
The mass and silhouette Is greatly
improved in this manner.
Since the basement OF the adj
dition Is considerably lower than
that of the present building It was
necessary to make elaborate ar
rangements for uriderpinning the
present structure The present ex-
change building Is constructed Of
heavy brick exterior walls. This Is
commonly known as "wali-bear-
ing type Of building. For this
reason 1t was necessary to provide
a continuous concrete beam under
the present footings OF the north
wall of the building. This new con-
crete footins beam il four feet wide
and six feet deep.
New Concrete Work
The concrete piles for underpin-
ming the present exchange building
were constructed by forcing short
sections Of steel tubing into the
ground by hydraulic pressure. When
each section OF tubing had been
forced down for its entire length
an additional section was added to
the top and this process continued
until the combined length Of the
sections reached the desired depth.
When the entire steel shell had been
placed, the interior was filled with
concrete.
The building is being erected by
Davis, Wick, and Rosengarten,
Washington contractors.

New Plaster Is Good
For Repairing Cracks

a plaster for patching cracked
walls is a convenient repair item to
be kept in the house. 1t IS easily
mixed with water and brushed .or
kneaded into new cracks or holes
that make their appearance in the
surface OF the walls.
New home owners or builders
should protect themselves against
plaster defects by assuring them
selves that the frame work and
foundation is of the best material
and that lime plaster is used in
surfacing fhe walls

Built-in RefrigeratOrs
Aid Kitchen Designs

Building the automatic refrigera-
tor into the walls OF the kitchen
gives an effect of completeness and
permanency to the new home that
will more than justify the additional
trouble OF installing. In the con-
struction of a new home or the
remodeling of an older one. the
cabinet can be installed as u
permanent fixture with little or no
additional expense.
When the cabinet is installed the
carpenters can build shelving and
cupboards above it, so that they
will not project into the floor space.
Such an arrangement will afford
the housewife with a very attrac-
tive and efficient kitchen resign.

RE PAIN III B 5
NEED BASE

1T has been stated by one Of the
welI-known paint authorities that
50 per cent Of the paint used Is
applied over old surfaces; thus 1t
Is patent that one Of the most es-
sential requirements Of paint Is that
1t leave good surface for repaint-
ing This information Is closely
linked up with the home.owner's
pocketbook.
The cost of painting a house,
like that OF repairing an automo-
bile, is largely for labor. The
cost of painting materials is small
in proportion to that Of & painters
time. Thus 1t follows that when
the old paint has cracked and
scaled, and must be taken off be.
fore the repaint job Is commenced,
the expense IL high. Sometimes 1t
takes a painter as long to burn
and Scrape scaled paint off house
as It does to put two coats on q
dwelling that already has a good
foundation of sound old paint. And
there Is no job that painter
dislikes quite as much as a scrap.
