FLAG IS HO|STED
ON |. c. c. BUILDING
Ceremony Marks First High
Steel Placement for New
Structure.

The American Flag was hoisted yes
tcrday above the topmost column of
the new Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion Building to mark the first piece
OF steel set up to the highest point of
the building under construction at
Twelfth street and Constitution avenue.
The flag was put in place by Jack"
Gober of the Bass CONSTRUCTION Co..
which is erecting the steel for James
Stewart g. Co, Inc, general contractors
on the building.
This tradition of flying the flag from
the pinnacle of the building is an
ancient tradition in the steel-erection
industry. To the steel column from
which the flag waved today other steel
will be attached for further construc-
tion CT the roof
The buildings steel skeleton was
raised in quick time. ahead of con-
structicn schedule. and the big frame
work now rises to almost its full size
and shape. Steel erection will be fin
ished in a few days. according to John
NJ. Parish, superintendent of James
Stewart g. Co, and the derricks will
then be moved ever to the site of the
Labor Department Building at Four
teenth street and Constitution avenue
where steel will begin to go up in about
10 days.
Connecting Wing Under Way.
Between the I. c. c. and Labor De-
partment structures is the so-called
connecting wing" which will join the
three into one architectural unit. This
middle section. to be used for a Gov
ernment auditorium, is now in the
foundation stage. concrete is being
poured for its foundations. and Steel
soon will be fabricated for it. So that
as soon as the derricks are through
with the Department of Labor they
can be moved over into the auditorium
In other words, according to Super
intendent Parish. 1t is expected that
steel work for all three buildings will
be completed before Christmas.
Other Trades at Work.
In the meantime other trades have
begun their work on the inside OF the
I. C. c. structure, as the reinforced
concrete floors are being poured. Con-
duits to carry the electric lighting wires
are imbedded in this concrete floor. As
soon as the floors are COMPLETED the
next trades to move in will be the
plumbers and steamfitters.
The steel framework Of the I. c. c
Building already in place weighs about
$500 tons. according to Mr.. Parish.
A feature of the I. c. c. structure
plainly visible in the framework now
is the small building for hearing rooms
erected inside the court, to have VIM
dows on an four sides, and high CELL
ingS.

Trails Gorillas in Congo
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

D1 1nOMhS uLA~N1s
Gorillas lead lazy, hobo-like life in
the Central African mountains.
Such was the observation Of DR..
Harold C. Bingham, psychologist of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington,
whose report of trailing these great
apes in their native habitat and observ-
ing their behavior from day to day
has Just been issued. Bingham took up
the trail of the gorillas in the Albert
National Park in the Belgian Kongo,
sometimes described as the gorilla state,
and followed close behind several bands.
He trailed one group for 100 hours.
These are among the very few scien-
tific observations ever made Of the
natural life of the gorilla. Most of the
information about this animal, whose
behavior may yield many clues FOR the
Interpretation Of human history, has
been taken from unreliable reports OF
hunters.
Build NESTS" at Night.
The great apes, Bingham found,
move in separate groups of from to
35 individuals-each group apparently
dominated by an old male. Every
night the animals stop, build nests"
in trees or on the ground in sheltered
places, and sleep until morning. There
is one nest for each animal, except for
the infants. that sleep with their
mothers. The great ape, Bingham
found, is always leisurely on the move,
living off the country. The creature
has no settled home. One nest appar-
emily never is used two nights in sue
cession, no suitable nest-building ma
terial ever is transported even for a
few feet.
But. it is pointed out in the report.
the animal has great facility for
adapting the handiest material for
nest building. Consequently there Is
no stable form Of nest.
From the moment the gorillas could
be characterized as individuals Bing-
ham says, "the dominance OF the leader
was outstanding. In general appear
ance he was the largest animal in the
band, yet there were evidences Of enact
alton compared with the uniformly we'll
nourished appearance among his smaller
companions His cheeks appeared hol-
low. even suggesting missing teeth.
"An direct observation of the ami
mails indicated that his leadership was
paramount. He was the only animal
that made vocal sounds that the OBJ
servers could hear. Likewise, he was

Resemble Human Migrants.
The gorillas, Bingham says, often
tend to lounge about the sleeping place
of the band on the previous night-eS-
pecially when there is plenty Of food In
the neighborhood Apparently they eat
very little, but just lay around on the
soft moss and grass before starting the
days trek to new feeding place.
Two of the lounging places found by
Bingham were occupied until noon. The
gorillas, once started, move only a few
miles, eating leisurely along the way. If
food is plentiful, and building nests for
the night when their hunger is salts
fed. They appear to have no objective
for their wanderings and are compar-
able to human vagrants.
The gorilla evidently tries to place
his nest in such a position that he will

Due to important, scientific de-

Because of unique process in
