ut is to be hoped that the normal
balance OF executive and legislative
authority may be wholly adequate to
meet the unprecedented task before
us. But 1t may be that an unprece-

departure from that normal balance
of public procedure.

People Have Not Failed.

before us in the warm courage OF

alike. We aim at the assurance OF
rounded and permanent national life.

essential democracy. The people of
the United States have not failed. In
their need they have registered man

No picture of treasury operations
would be complete without a refer
ence to the Office Of supervising archi-
tect. Especially is this true under
present conditions, when the federal
government is proceeding with vast
programs of building. Every day,
the plans for post Office. or federal
courts building. or customs house or
some other building with a public
purpose, are being completed, and
they are prepared by or under super
vision Of the architects in the treasury.
Before those architects start work,
however, a branch Of their office has
examined available sites in the city
or town where the building Is to be,
consulted with the local authorities
as to the needs. purchased the site
out of federal funds and has received
from congress authority to proceed.
So again. the treasury. though 1t he

MID.ATLANTIC BUILDING
BELOW THAT OF 1882

Contracts for construction work OF all
classes having a total cost volume OF
$3,281, 700 were awarded in the Middle
Atlantic States, including the District
of Columbia, during the period from
January through January Is. accord
ing to the F. W. Dodge Corporation.
During the corresponding period OF
1882 total of s5,7Oo,2o0 was reported
for the same area.
December construction awards let in
the Middle Atlantic States totaled $l4,-
968, 500, as compared with $15,230, 700
for November, last, and $16,728,1 100 for
December, 1881. Gains between No
vember and December in PRESIDENTIAL
building, public works and public utlll-
ties were not large enough to offset
loss IN residential awards.
For the full year, 1892, a total OF
1927, 7,6l5, 100 was reported for all classes
Of construction in this regional territory,
as against $356,807,000 for the year
1881. Losses from 1881 totals were re-
ported for each of the four major lines
Of building. :,
In the case of residential building, the
decline in construction volume in apart
mente and hotels from 1881 levels was
relatively larger than that shown for
one and two family houses.

HurIey's Research Aide Is Or.
deTed to Paris on War
Mothers Tour.

Capt. Robert Ginsburgh. one of the
Army's most versatile writer's on mill
tary subjects whose services have been
utilized by Secretary of War Hurley, is
leaving Washington next month for
duty in Paris in connection with the
pilgrimage of American war mothers to
European cemeteries.
With his wife and twin daughters,
Capt. Ginsburgh is scheduled to sail
February % from New York on the
S. S. Manhattan, and it is probable he
will gather material for a history of
these now famous pilgrimages.

Capt Ginsburgh, native Russian,
came to this country as a small boy.
Army. At one time, unknown to the
military authoritie-, he worked at night
on New York newspaper.
He was detailed to the Office of the
Assistant Chief of Staff for G-2, as the
Army intelligence is known, during the
Summer of 1891. His work in that
branch caught the fancy of Secretary
Hurley and much of Capt. Ginsburghs
time was occupied in official. research
work for the Secretary.
When the Russian youth came to this
country he could not speak English. In
June, 1917, he was graduated from
Harvard with honors. His scholarship
won him membership in Phi Beta Kappa
and Delta Sigma Rho, both honorary
fraternities. The intervening war,
when he went into the Army from an
officers training camp, prevented him
from realizing his ambition to become
a lawyer
Capt. Ginsburgh's career in the Army
has taken him to the Philippines, Siberia
and the Orient.
He was graduated from the Field
Artillery School in 1920 and was
member of its staff four years. From
1928 to 1880 he commanded q battery
of mounted artillery at Fort Robinson,
Mo 1t was while at that post he was
assigned as a student to the University
of Missouri and took course in
journalism.
Becomes Publicity Expert.
AS editor of the Recruiting News at
Governors Island, NJ Y, Capt. Gins
burgh made bis reputation as pub
licity expert for the Army. When he
was presented with twin daughters the
young officer sought to increase his in
come by getting job as a reporter on
the New York World. No one knew OF
his commission in the Army except his
city editor, Joseph Canavan, now sec
retary to Gov. Lehman. Ginsburgh
worked at Governors Island until 5
pm. each day, then dashed to New
York for his reportorial assignments.
This dual existence worked to per-
lection until the night of the explosion
of the arsenal at Dover, N. j., in 1926.
Capt. Ginsburghs city editor rushed
him there to cover the story. He tele-
phoned his post commander and was
ordered to the arsenal. That severed
his newspaper connections, but at an
other time he did desk work for a press
association in New York.
Since his tour in Washington began,
Capt. Ginsburgh has been making his
home in Silver Spring, Md.
