Illustratively, when I first saw
Washington in 1915, the State, War
and Navy departments were housed in
a single stricture-the so-called State,
War and Navy building. Today it is
known as the State and War build
ing. However, the State Department
occupies nearly the whole of it. The
War Department retains only a few
offices. The bulk of it's activities cen
ter in the Munitions building, a vast,
much more newly built edifice. The
Navy Department has been evicted
entirely to quarters Of it's own, adj
joining Munitions.
Wartime Expansion.
Of course, the government expand
ed enormously in wartime and built
furiously to shelter itself
The Munitions and Navy buildings
are pretty good pieces of workman
ship. They are not ornamental but
both are substantial, convenient and
tolerably commodious.
Plenty of other buildings (whole
city blocks of them) consisted of little
more than lath and plaster. Signs
were plastered all over them, warning
against smoking. They were not nee

LOVE AT first sight" always has
its perils because it frequently has its
Establishments. Jesus love for the
"Rich Young Ruler" seems to have
been somewhat of the nature and ex
pcrience of "love at first sight.
Quest for Eternal Life.
There ran one to him and kneeled
to him and asked him, Good Master,
what shall I do that 1 may inherit
eternal life? And Jesus said unto him.
why callest thou me, good? None is
good save one, even God" To call
Jesus good is not enough, for if he
is not God as he professed to be, he
is not even good! Superficial COM
pliments paid to Jesus goodness, may,
if they go no further, establish kin
ship with Judas betrayal of the Son
of Man with kiss. With this chal-
lenge to the youth to weigh well his
praise of Christ, our Lord proceeded
to test his life with the commands
meant to govern his relations with his
fellowmen: Thou knowest the COM
mandn1ents, Do not kill, Do not COM
NIT adultery, Do not steal, Do not
bear false witness, Do not defraud
Honor thy father and mother. And
he said unto him, Master all these
things have 1 Observed from my youth
and Jesus looking upon him loved
him." Yes, here was "love at first
sight"
zone Thing Thou Lackest."
Here was clean moral youth, who
so far as overt acts of sin were con-
cerned, had lived a b1ameless life.

CENTS, BALDWIN ]. CAPTURE 'HILL'. HOOP CONTESTS.
Robins Lose By 2S-24 Margin-Tribes Put on
 Thrilling Rally

Sinking 12 out of a possible 13 foul shots, the Robins came danger ously close to outpointing the Gents of the Hill at the Washington park court last night, but faltered in the closing minutes to lose by a 28-24 count. The Baldwin Props won over the Tribunes, 37-28, when belated rally by the Tribunes, in the person of Mike Sheehan,. fell short of its mark. The games were the openers of the second round.
 Close Enough
 Out in front by one point at the first period, and by the same margin at the half, the Gents fell behind in the third quarter when Joe Rossi came through with 8 brace of hoops. "Skippy" Goodwin made good a couple of fouls, however and gave the Gents the lead until the final period when "Circus-Shot" Shimkis hooped a couple of thrillers, which gave the Robins-rooters new hopes.
 With the count 24-23, and less than three minutes to play, Joie Quilter came into his own, scoring two field goals and a foul shot in rapid succession, and putting the game on ice.
 Tribes Rally
 Out-played, out-passed, and out scored during three periods of a fast and punishing game, the Tribunes came back in the final stages of their game against the Props with a rally that had the crowd in a de- lirium.
 The Props had a 28-13 lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but successive scores by Petite, Bud Kelly and Sheehan started the fire works. Then Sheehan scored three more baskets in breath taking se- quence, with follow-up hoop being tossed in by Longo. The game ended however, as the Props were starting rally of their own, led by Bartolini and Romeo.
 It was announced last night that the playof game between the Props and Gents of the Hill will be staged Wednesday night.
