5OF ARCHITECTURE
Committee to Formulate
Policy for Designs Of
Varying Needs.

Creation of a Naval Architectural
Committee to formulate a policy for
the architectural design OF naval
structures to meet varying conditions
ranging from the tropics to the sub
Arctic has been announced by Rear
Admiral Ben Moreell. Civil Engineer
Corps, chief of the Navy Bureau Of
Yards and Docks.
With more than 300 new naval
buildings scheduled for construction,
the formulation Of policy became an
urgent necessity, Admiral Moreel
pointed out. The new policy will
serve as guide to the Bureau of
Yards and Docks in drawing up plans
and specifications for buildings rang
ing in type from American Colonial,
to conform with existing structures
to the most modern designs for avi-
alton centers and hospitals. among
them the new Naval Medical Center
soon to be built on the newly selected
site just north Of Bethesda, Md.
The committee consists of the chief
of the Bureau of Yards and Docks,
the design manager, and the chief of
the Hospital and Personnel Section,
who is the principal architect of the
bureau. The committee will determine
the general architectural features Of
all structures and the character Of
materials to be used.
The architectural work of the
Bureau Of Yards and Docks dif1ers
from that Of the ordinary architectural
design offlce because of the great va
riety Of climatic conditions and uses
for which our structures must be de-
signed" Admiral Moreell explained In
announcing the policy. These struc-'
lures are used in all parts Of the
world and are required to conform to
quite a wide range Of local styles and
customs in architectural design"
At the present time, the admiral
said, the Bureau of Yards and Docks
has in charge the preparation OF
designs for structures in Alaska, the
Canal Zone, the Philippines. Florida,
the northern New England States,
Samoa, Southern California and the
Pacific Northwest.
Since funds for operation Of the
Navy Department are limited to def
mite figures, Admiral Moreell said, any
increases in the cost of shore struc-
lures reduces the amount available
for ships and operations Of the Fleet.
Any unnecessary expense tn connec-
ton with shore construction, there
fore, he said, would be indefensible."

Grandmother Carroll put the last
neat little running stitches into the
blue checked play suit and exclaimed
vita satisfaction.
Doris will like this" she decided.
THE blue just matches her eyes"
Grandmother Carroll had been put
ting aside an hour or two each day
to make camp clothes for her two
little granddaughters. She couldn' t
spare much time because what she
earned with her needle paid the rent
and bought food for her daughter and
grandchildren. Each day her widowed
daughter went out to look for work
but jobs were scarce. Each night
she came home, tired and drawn, with
the same story.
Nothing Today"
"I've walked all over town." she
would say. and all hear Is Nothing
today" Then she would sigh and
murmur. If only my husband were
still here. He wouldn't let us starve."
Grandmother Carroll would console
her and go on with her everlasting
sewing. Lately. she worried q little
because sometimes the stitches blurred
She suspected her eyesight was failing,

NEW YORK, April 14.-Downward
adjustments in the dry goods trade,
which in some divisions started as
early as July, 1897, became progress
sively acute as the months passed. &C
cording to a survey by Dun e. Brad
street, Inc.
Joined by expanding unemploy-
ment and shrinking pay rolls, with
the concomitant consumer purchasing
power reduction, a condition of virtual
Stagnation had been reached by April
l, 1888. AS sluggishness in retail dis
tribution was unrelieved, accumulated
inventories Of wholesalers and manu-
facturers grew more burdensome. Price
inducements lost their allure, even
though some had been cut to a five
year low.
Even though retailers made heavy
lnroads on their inventories since
December, sales decreased almost as
rapidly as stocks. The result was
that, at the close of the first quarter,
relationship of sales to inventory
scarcely was any healthier Because
of the near-peak attainments during
the flrst-quarter surge of 1887, de-
clines from that period were general.
From the high jumps of 1887 over
1886 comparatlves, for the first quar-
ter of 1888 production of dry goods
dropped 80 to so per cent, wholesale

1887, and had shed but little of its
force up to April /, 1888 In the sweep
of It's slide it carried with it blankets,
dress fabrics, sheets, cases, muslins,
ticklngs, percales, towels, draperies,
bedspreads and work clothing. Pro-
duction of cotton goods was squeezed
from new high in March to less than
so per cent of capacity by December.
From l4-year record in wool con-
sumption for the first quarter, Woolen
mills dropped to about half capacity.
production curtailment was ex-
tended at nearly all mills during the
first quarter of 1888. Woolen mills
operated at about 25 per cent of ca
paclty, with orders nearly so per cent
less than for the 1897 period. Cotton
mills averaged around 40 per cent,
rayon 60 per cent. underwear so per

respective 1897 rates"
