The trucks which carried these massive shafts to New York broke several pavements. These columns will eventually support a roof of groined arches over the choir and sanctuary, 1855 feet choir and sanctuary, 1855 feet from the floor.
 Originally the nave was planned to be 85 feet high but it now stands at 135 feet. It contains floor area of 32,400 square feet and is paved with symbolic designs to form a pilgrims pavement" The columns support the groined, pointed roof of the nave are 85 feet high and are set apart at a clear width of 98 feet, 13 feet greater than the sim liar space in St. Peters at Rome. The center aisle of the nove is as wide as a New York city street from building line to building line. In each of it's IA bays is a chapel, 18x25 and 43 feet high.
 History Tower
 It is planned to raise central lantern tower at the crossing the spot where the transepts, the chan eel and the nave meet. This grey vault will be 321 feet from the chancel floor to the lantern. Exter- nally, it will be 455 feet high, equal to a History building. The balanc- ing of this gigantic work over the crossing will be an unparalleled feat.
 The nave of St. Johns is built but not yet in full use. The choir and crossing are also standinf, but their roof is not completed. The north transept is already raised to height of 30 feet but, like con- struction on the south transept, awaits additional funds. When finally built, St. Johns will have cost about $25,OO0,000. Not cent will be owed on it, however, because it is being raised on a pay-as-you- ga policy. Completed it will look like huge cross.
 Washington can boast the second Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul which is more familiarly known as Washington Cathedral and National Cathedral.
 In 1893, Congress granted over sixty acres of Mount Saint Alban, the highest point in the District of Columbia, for a site. In 1912 Rethelehem Chapel, the first part, was finished.
 It is situated in the crypt be- meath the aspe and is the resting place of Woodrow Wilson, Admiral George Dewey and other famous Americans.
 Although not the largest church in America, the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul will be the highest It's central tower will rise 107 feet higher than the Washington Monu- ment because of the elevation of it's site.
 This cathedral, too, will be in the shape of a cross. It will have two majestic towers each 195 feet high to flank the enerance. Its total length will be 534 feet and total width, 135 feet. It will house total area of 71,000 square feet and will

Not Europe, But New York, Boasts
 Worlds Hugest Gothic Cathedral
$1,OOO,OOO Drive On For Addition To St. Johns
BY PAUL ROSS

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 New York, April 16-Baedeker- clutching tourists, gazing in breath less wonderment upon European caherals, seldom realize that they have left behind them, in their native land. the largest Gothic catheral-in fact, the second largest church edifice of any kind-in the whole world.
 The Episcopal Catheral of St. John the Devine, in New York, is surpassed in size only by St. Peters of Rome. But St. Peters is built in the form of the classical basilica while St. Johns when fully re- constructedfi will be 18th century French Gothic. The only Gothic cathedral which can approach St. Johns size is the one at Seville which contains 8,908,000 cubic feet. St. Johns incloses almost twice as much space, 16,822,000 cubic feet.
 The edifice which stands in populous upper Manhattan has had a curious history. Originally plan ned as a Romanesque structure, it vas so begun in 1892. Work went forward until 1911 when it was

decided to change the architectural style to Gothic.
 Anyone who has ever rebuilt a
 house will appreciate the monu- mental task involved in remaking structure the size of St. Johns. Nevertheless, the authorities of St. Johns went ahead. Today, the cathedral is two-thirds finished.
 In January of this year, the bishop of St. Johns, issued and ap- peal for contributions to make up 100000 needed to complete the sanctuary and choir in time for the Worlds Fair in 1889.
 St. Johns sits astride an area approximately equal to A stand ard building lots.
 When finished-which should be around 1950-it will be 601 feet long and 32O feet wide at the transepts and will inclose total floor area of 1O9,O82 square fet. With all the construction props re- moved it will reveal an internal vista of 1-10 of mile from the main portal to the high altar. Ul- tlmately It Will seat l5,UUO ana provide standing room for 10000. At present it is equipped with an simplifying system which brings the ceremonies at the high altar to those who cannot see them. Will Stand 50 Centuries
 Experts estimate that St. Johns will still be standing 5000 years from now and that fifty centuries will erode it's grey granite walls aout one inch but teh carvings nd sculptures will not be much the worse for wear. St. Johns interior facings are of Indiana lime stone.

 The speaking list this year will be smaller, according to the commit tees present plans, but there will be number of distinguished guests present both for the banquet and the several reunions to precede it. Among those scheduled to come to Waterbury, in addition to the Rev. Francis J. Dolan, s. J., president of Holy Cross, and Charles Bowman Strome, executive secretary of the general alumni association, are Thomas J. Meehan of Providence, R. l., prominent public relations coun- sel and formerly well-known in New England theatrical managerial ranks, which included a short stay here in Waterbury as manager of the former Poli house; Edward B. Hanify of Boston, one of the best known of the younger members of the alumni and son of Judge Ed ward F. Hanify, former president of the H. c. Alumni Association and well knloWn in Massachusetts judi cial circles; Congressman Frank w. ToWey, Jr., of Jersey City, one of the brilliant speakers in the present session of congress and classmate of Chairman Grady at Holy Cross; Mayor Martin J. Cunningham of Danbury; and several surprise guests, expected to be announced late next week.

For And Against

The news that the federal government was planning new prison TOT the Vlcln- itv of Danbury caused varying sentiments over in that Connecticut town. Last week a group of real estate men were trving to cement sentiment against the proposed federal institution. They based their objections on the theory that such a structure would tend to lower real estate valuations. However, we don't think that statistics bear out claims ol this sort. On the contrary it can be shown that modern state and federal institutions are not "blots" on the land scape, but most welcome additions 10 any community.
 This week Mayor Martin L. Cunning ham of Danbury took the initiative, though, by welcoming the federal prison to Danbury. He told his Board of Coun- cilmen that the city would never regret the establishment of the prison in the town. Among the other things he also informed the board was that the annual expenditures of the prison in the town itself would probably be about $300,OO0. Any town that turns away prospective $500 OOO client is foolish Danbury isn't going to be foolish.
 If the residents of the town had any fears that Uncle Sam would set up pen itentiary to which would be committed hardened criminals, they need not worry. The prison is planned for persons await ing trial in federal court and for men sentenced to short terms, probably those averaging about eighteen months. It thus becomes more of detention prison than penitentiary. It is not govern Ment practice anyway to establish prisons for long-termers in the midst of thickly- populated sections. They are now built m more remote regions.
 Danbury will never regret this federal institution. Other towns are probably a bit envious. Not since the days of Old NeWgate Prison have we had federal "pen". Feature writers should have chance now to unearth some interesting "color" stories

vadeS them.
 But now it develops that the British themselves are not quite sure what is and is not good, sound English speech. Milton Bronner, European manager for the Newspaper Enterprise Association, points out that while England is in area Slightly smaller than the state of Ala bama, it's 40,000,000 people have more accents and dialects than the entire con- tinental Unites States.
 Yorkshireman and Lancashireman can understand one another, with an effort; but neither has speech like that of the native of Somerset The London Cockney is in class by himself. And the celebrated Oxford accent deserves a sep arate volume. The upper class in London calls bath baWth and grass, grahSS; but the upper class in Liverpool or Edin- burgh will pronounce those words pre- cisely as Americans do
 An observant London clergyman recently remarked that the upper class West End of London is really just as bad as the lower class East End. He cited, as an example, the line frequently sung in church. Praise Him for His grace and favor"
 In the Cockney East End, he said this line becomes: Prize Him for His grice and fiver."
 And in the cultured West End the line sounds like this Breeze Him for His grease and fever"
 All of which, doubtless, adds up to nothing at all. But harassed American who has to listen to imitation British accents every time he goes to movie or turns on the radio may properly draw modicum of comfort from it. He can go on comfortably saying "Noo York" in- stead of "NyeW Yohk," secure in the knowledge that at least half of England itself would probably agree with him.

Way to Recovery

There is too much idle money in the country, too much fear, too much con- plaint about taxes, too much waiting for business to improve itself, and not enough willingness to face facts and help boost business, argues the editor of the Mans field, Ohio, NeWS-Journal. He insists that recovery is up to the people generally who have money or jobs and could start spending again. It is all of us together who cause depression, and all of us to- gether could cure it.
 "We are now dealing with 1888 and existing conditions" he says "There can be no waiting for some chimerical future time, for change in state or federal ad ministration, for lower taxes, for greater social security or for some magic formula to eliminate unemployment"
 Recovery is largely local matter, In every city and county there are plenty of people who could resume normal buying of necessary commodities and desirable luXurleS for themselves and their homes, preferably patronizing their home mer- chants. There has been postponement of buying clothing, furniture, floor cover ings, draperies, electrical conveniences and numberless other items, large and small Construction of new homes has been put off from month to month and year to year, ana It IS now time to go ahead and build them. Old cars are driven by peo- pie who could afford new cars Such pro- cedure simply continues the fear and Stagnation.
 ''If normal buying is resumed" he says, If money is put to use by individuals to the extent of their reasonable purchasing power if despondency gives way to justi- liable optimism in the minds of millions or people who are working and earning then this years upturn can come as quickly as last years slunnp"
 Doubtless it can. Business recovery today is, far more than ordinarily, a mat ter of psychology, of people getting into a more. sensible state of mind and acting together, confidently and constructively. Neither government nor business is going 10 hand them prosperity on silver plat ter, but they can get it for themselves by turning 'bout-face and buying the things they need.

The recent appointment of Justice William Clark of the Federal District Court of New Jersey to the Circuit Court of Appeals, Third Circuit, didn't evoke much attention from the nation But back in 1880 Judge Clark commanded plenty of attention and the top headlines in papers from coast to coast. Judge Clark was the same judge who in that year ruled the 18th Amendment uncon- stitutional. He made history by his decision, which was quoted extensively at the time and may have had lot to do with the subsequent repeal of the 18th Amendment. At any rate Judge Clark was promptly forgotten by the masses. He recently was presiding judge at the free speech trial of Mayor Frank Hague. His new appointment came in the midst of this trial. He was sworn in as a Circuit Court Judge Tuesday at the Maryland home of Justice Owen J. Roberts of the U. s. Supreme Court h. cidentally Judge Clark's reputation as lurist is a fine one his rulings having been overruled in very few cases.

had rival in accuracy and scien- tific placement. She could calculate the court as if it were a chess board and with lightning speed return to vacant spaces her competitors most brilliant shots. If she had ever suc- cumbed in her hey-day it would have been before the overwhelming sustained volley of the modern power game.
 The two methods had test at Cannes in the winter of 1926 when she met young Helen Wills. Su- zanne, the veteran, won. Critics say Miss Wills made the fatal mistake Of trying to out-think her rather than out-stroke her. They never met again, and Mile. Lenglen was able to arrange the terms of her ab- dication when she thought the time had come to step from her throne. Her famous defaulted match with Molla Mallory at Forest Hills was never a test of her ability. It was mere opera bouffe, in which Mile. Lenglen was also unexcelled. Later. when she felt better, she disposed of Mrs. Mallory 6-2, 60.
 Whether or not she was the great est in her field. Suzanne Lenglen was by easy odds the most colorful She could stamp her foot harder, quarrel more violently, cough more appealingly in declining game and sob more rackingly than any woman she met. Once at Wimbledon, after a shrill dispute with the officials, she flounced off the court in the as- tonished presence of Queen Mary a display of temperament for which the French government felt con- pelled to apologize.
 But when she chose to play she played so furiously that few could face her Perhaps she wrote her own epitaph when she said, T just throw dignity to the winds and think of nothing but the game"
