ceipts for 1924 by States, including the
District of Columbia.
This table gives the total internal
revenue receipts from the District in
1924 at $27,542.527. A foot note on
page 90 notes that this amount in

alien property. Let us then compare
the Districts abnormal total of over
$27 100000 with the payment Of other
States, precisely as both figures are
given by the commissioner of in

viewed as the Districts normal pay

ARCHITECTS STUDY
BUILDING MODELS
Miniatures Represent Struc-
lures to Go in Federal
Triangle Here.

Several miniature buildings. the first
of an entire "city" representing struc-
lures In the great Federal triangle here,
were used for the first time today by
the board of architectural consultants
of the Treasury Department, as they
gathered from all parts of the country
to continue work on plans for Federal
housing here.
The model buildings were arranged
on top of large table constructed in
the form of the triangle bounded by
Pennsylvania avenue. B and Fifteenth
streets. The buildings, which have been
constructed in miniature to follow the
lines Of great structures to go in the
triangle, were not fastened to the table,
and could be moved about from place to
place by the architects in making a
study Of the best designs.
Plan Is Approved.
plan for the entire triangle, in
GLIDING location of the buildings to
be erected shortly, has been approved
by all agencies concerned, and two
buildings, the Department of Commerce
and Bureau of Internal Revenue. are
now under way. Many others. how
ever. are to be erected on the triangle.
and final details of all of these have
not been worked out.
Members of the board brought with
them preliminary sketches for the De-
partment of Labor. the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission. independent Offices
and Department of Justice buildings.
These sketches, however. are not build
ing plans and are primarily intended
for making estimates of cost to submit
to Congress. The board is headed by
Edward H. Bennett of Chicago and also
includes Louis A. Simon Of the Treas
ury Department.
Conference Held.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and
Assistant Secretary Carl T. Schuneman
conferred with the board today and
expressed their interest in the model
method of continuing the architectural
studies of the triangle.
About one-fourth of the number of
model buildings have been completed
and were before the board today
Others will be constructed and deliver
ed later to the Treasury.

through the Department of Agriculture
for fighting white pine rust, the Euro
pean corn borer, gypsy and brown-tall
moths. etc, bring this total to nearly
Sl45, 900 000."
Federal Subsidies Since 1914.
PIP. 576-577, Editorial Reports, De-
cember 10, 1924:
The rapid expansion of the Federal
subsidy system, and the increasing SUI
pervision and control of State activities
by the National Government by which il
has been accompanied, has been due
principally to six important pieces OF
legislation enacted during the last 10
years. These acts were:
THE Smith-Lever' act. May 3. 1914
1.-THE Federal aid roads act July IL
1916.
THE Chamberlain-Kah venereal
disease act, July 8. 1918.
THE Smith Hughes vocational edu-
cation act, February %. 1919.
THE industrial rehabilitation act
June 2, 1920.
The Sheppard owner maternity
act. November %, 1921.
Under these acts approximately
1921 .772.175 in Federal aid has been
granted to the States down to the enc
of the fiscal year 1924. whereas In 1914
the total of Federal subsidies paid tc
the States annually amounted to less
than $6,500,000.
THE resemblances among the siS
principal acts establishing conditional
subsidies for the States are striking
Each one provides for close corporation
between the Federal Government and the
state. and gives the Federal officers
great powers over the cooperating State
agency. In each case the statutes viz
tuallv declare certain State officials tc
be agents of the National Government
in certain of their activities. The re-
uuirement that the State must match
national appropriations from State OF
local sources is common to all the acts
No State is required to accept any Of the
subsidies or the conditions provided In
the various laws In each case the re-
lationship is entered upon voluntarily
although it is evident that the State
Legislatures must be under considerable
pressure to match the Federal dollar
and to accept the terms imposed, when
subsidies are held out in large
amounts
Paid to and by u. S.
II will be interesting to compare
what Washington pays into and re-

what is similarly paid into and received

States approximating the District In

Akron Rubber Man Proves He
Has Dynamite in His Right
Hand by Smacking Pauline
in the Last Round; Basque
Is Given Big Victory Margin

New York, Feb. 23-(AP)-Meycr
TX. o. Christner, the Akron rub
Der puddler, has proved the dyna-
mite in his right hand is no myth
but, in doing so he found one jaw
that refused to yield under poHd-
ing from that potent weapon.
Making his second appearance in
Madison Square Garden since he
knocked out Knute Hansen, the mel
ancholy Dane. Christncr dropped the
decision to Pauline Uzcudun, rough
woodchoppcr from Spain, in an ex-
citing 1O-round match in Madison
Square Garden last night.
The decision was cminently fair,
for Pauline, after a bad start, came
back to give the Akron slugger a
thorough trouncing in all but the
last of the final eight rounds.
In the final session, Christner,
|arm-weary as he was, staggered the
sturdy Basque with one terrific right
to the jaw. Pauline, undoubtedly
badly hurt, then bored in too close
for the Akron fighter to use his only
effective weapon. The final bell
found groggy but courageous
Pauline whaling away with both
hands to Christner's body.

is in tentative third place with two
setbacks in eight games, will at

whipped Iowa, 36 to 25 Jan. II.
Ever since the Wolverines returned

trifle wobbly, losing two games out

race by falling before Minnesota, %

The Hawks invariably play a weak
game and then strong one and to-
night may be the occasion for an
other powerful attack. Coach George

Wisconsin gave Northwestern a
