The plan for the local campaign,
which contemplate urging citizens to

ment was originated here by the wash
ington Chapter of the American In
stitute of Architects after its chairman,
Arthur B. Heaton, had visited Detroit
and Philadelphia and had seen the plan
in operation The Board of Trade i'm
mediately agreed to sponsor the idea
in Washington and Mr.. Eeaton was
placed IN charge of the campaign as
general chairman.
As a spectacular demonstration Of
what can be done with very little
money, the committee plans to remodel
a 7O-year-old house, which has been
moved to a plot at Fifteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, just north
of the new Commerce Building. Ma
terials. labor and supervision have all
been volunteered for this project, and
a close accounting of costs will be kept,
so the public can tell at any stage OF
the repairs just what each individual

In Philadelphia through similar cam
paign A letter received by Chairman
Hcaton yesterday from James w. Follin,
manager Of the Philadelphia campaign,
sets forth that recent reports from the
State Department of Labor and In
dustry indicate that employment in the
building trades in the Philadelphia
region increased 20 per cent in March
over February of this year, whereas
employment in all other regions of the
State decreased during the same period"
Mr.. Follin points out that even this
impartial source credits this result to
the renovize Philadelphia campaign.
Intensive work on the campaign is
expected to start following tonight'S
meeting.

On the charts, red line has been

The winter Of 1892 was the
warmest in more than 100 years in
