GAINES PAYS WITH LIFE
 HIS DEBT TO HUMANITY

WALLA WALLA, Aug. 31. @..-. Just as the first faint traces of the dawn were showing in the sky, Wallace Gaines mounted the scaf- fold at the State Penitentiary to pay with his life for the murder of his daughter. Sylvia Gaines.
 He maintained his innocence to the end.
 Only a few newspaper men and prison officials yere grouped around the >caffold. The preparations were ra fly made and the execution aid - the authorities to be one ..iftest to take place here walked from his cell fanAeu on one side by prison of- Aciais, and on tho other by Frank Novak, the prison evangelist. who attended him during the night.
 The condemned man walked >ith a firm step and mounted the gallows. He was little ahead of the rest and looked back to see if they were coming. 5
 .E2on beiAs asked if he had any thing to say. Gaines said: "Get 1t over as quickly as you cant"
 After these last words mask was quickly drawn over his face. The trap was sprung at six min- utes past four and Gaines was pronounced dead at fourteen min utes past four.
 The body will probably be sent to Seattle Saturday.
 Novak. in telling the newspaper men about conversation with Gaines. said: Gaines declared that he was innocent up to the last moment. He declared that he was not guilty of the crime. He spent most of the night praying. Upon my earnest request he confessed to me a few minor sins, having no bearing upon the crime of which he was accused
 Novak said that Gaines told him T am sorry was drunk that night" but in the same breath he denied that the crime was his.
 From the prison. Novak went to the hotel room where William Gaines, a brother. and Mrs. Eliz- abeth Gaines. the wife of the dead man. were waiting.
 As the hour of the execution struck, Mrs. Gaines said ''It's near the time. isn't it?" She wept quietly when told that it was all over.
 William. the brother, was much distracted, pacing the floor hys- terically. He was prevailed upon 10 calm down but he often put his hand up to his neck as if the rope were about his own.

SHUTTERS ADD TO HOME.

Shutters which may be made In spare
moments by the handy man of the
household offer an effective means of
bettcring the appearance Of many
houses. In the case of houses of Colo
nial type. shutters are 50 strongly iden-
tified with the style that they have be-
come an almost necessary and integral
feature of the exterior.
Placing shutters at strategic points
viii reduce the bare expanse OF wall
space. which frequently spoils the pro-
portions of house facades. They may
be painted in harmonizing or contrast
ing shades, and with the addition Of
window boxes the entire window unit
may be given material decorative value.
Both the louvre and batten type OF
shutters are popular now and both may
be used to good advantage. Forged iron
hinges, shutter dogs and surface bolts
for holding the shutters open or closed
are available at low price. Cutout de-
signs characteristic OF some hobby of
the owners, such AS boating or garden
ing. may be pierced In the face OF the
shutter TO excellent effect. Forged iron
shutter hardware. which comes In sew
eral designs and finishes TO harmonize
with entrance and garage hardware and
lanterns. gives completeness which Is
very effective.

BEAUTY IN BUILDINGS AIM

Active Interest Here.
There are examples in Washington
that stand out as concrete proof OF
this belief. There are store buildings
that are suitable 10 the needs of the
owner and yet having architectural
merit small houses of but moderate
price. apartment houses planned SO as
10 pay dividends and yet of type
not objectionable to the community.
There is probably more active in
terest here in Washington in the beau
ty Of buildings and grounds Of private
holdings than among property owners
of most cities of the country. Due in
a large measure to the location of the
National Capital here. this is evidenced
continually by citizens organizations
and trade associations. The formation
by the local chapter Of the American
Institute of Architects of an architects
advisory council. which meets each
week to consider plans flied with the
building inspector and to make sug-
gestionS for needed changes in design.

interest.

Furthermore. it has appeared to me
that Washington might properly become
the intellectual Capital OF the Nation,
establishing here the national head
quarters Of the various fine arts. and
facilitating especially the crafts closely
allied with them and without which the
fine arts cannot express their purposes
and realize their dreams. Such crafts
do not entail heavy manufacturing with
