To BUILD NEW
BRANCH BANK

A new banking structure to
house the Southwest Branch of
the McLachlen Banking Corpora.
ton will be erected at 306-12
Fourteenth st. s. w., according
to announcement by President
Lanier p. McLachlen. The pres
ent southwest branch office of the
bank is located at 1850 B st.
S. W., on property now being
condemned by the Government.
The new branch, which will be
completed in the early spring,
will be opposite the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing. The
building and banking equipment
will be Of the latest design and
construction with a modern vault
and safety deposit department.
Work on the building already has
been started under the direction
OF w. c. Wohlgemuth. The archi-
tect is Arthur B. Heaton.
Details Of Building
The main building will be so by
10 feet. one story in height, with
a mezzanine. A separate wing will
house a private garage and boiler
room.
The first floor space of the new
building Is to be subdivided, the
bank proper will occupy approx.
mately threefifths Of the space.
the remainder being leased for
business purposes. Both the plan
and exterior design have been
so devised, however, that when
the bank desires to utilize the
entire space. the removal of the
partition will permit the compile
zion OF a symmetrical room with
the minimum Of structural change.
Because Of its location on the
arterial highway from Virginia.
and the belief that all public and
semi-public buildings should carry
out the traditional architectural
scheme Of the Capital. the build
ing has been designed In the
Georgian style. A distinct quaint
ness has been obtained through
the large chimney and steep
sloaping roof of rough black slate
surmounted by white cupola.
General Color Is Tan
The facede has a base of black
palished granite and Is faced
with seam-faced granite of a mix
ture Of warm and cool tones, re-
Sulting in a general tan color.
The doorway. cornice and other
trim Is Of buff limestone. The
metal work will be in ANTIQUE
lead finish to complete the color
scheme.
The main banking room is to
be carried out in the early Amer
lean style, resulting in an at
mosphere Of domesticity rather
than one Of formality. which is
characteristic Of the bank organi-
zation itself. Plaster walls and
ceilings in warm subdued colors
will heighten this effect of cordial
warmth.

Eat Your Breakfast, Johnny.

A good square meal at breakfast for
the school child Is one Of the best aids
that mother can give In helping her
son or daughter along the road to
learning. Do not let the child form

in time to eat liesurely. There should
be at least three meals day for the
school child, and If one is Committed
he becomes over-tired and hungry be-
fore the next meal and consequently
cannot do his best work.
