With . keynote of lavishness, Of
flcial society was entertained at
Octagon House from 1900 to 1928.
It took charming Dolly Madison,
as hostess, however. to bring social
power to its most glamorous heights
after President Madison was asked
to use Octagon House as a tenn
porary White House after the burn
Ing Of the Executive Mansion by
the British in 1914.
Later Sighted.
President Madison signed the
proclamation giving the terms of
the treaty Of Ghent-which ended
the War Of 1812-in an upper room
of Octagon House. Following the
Civil War, 1t was used as a mill
tary hospital. Business was pressing
uptown and the fashionable old
house. after occupancy by a success
sion Of tenants, stood a rather de-
crepit reminder of better days.
In 1902 the American Institute of
Architects came to the rescue-pur-
chasing, restoring Octagon House,
and making 1t a suitable place for
the Institutes headquarters. STAN
ford White, famous architect, helped
lnst1gate the movement to restore
the house.
Original plans for Octagon House
were made by DR.. William Thornton,
original designer of the Capitol, in
1799- 1900. OF English brick, it is
In excellent state of preservation
and the exterior has had but one
important change. A sloping roof

emphasize the spaciousness Of the
house. Opposite the entrance door
q delicate archway opens into the
wide stair hall that gives access to
what was the dining room on the
right and, also, one on the left. A
spiral stairway leads to the two
floors above. From large Palladian
window over the landing the site
of slave quarters and rear kitchens
can be seen. Directly beneath the
stairs, a door leads into a walled
garden with brick walls and old
boxwoods.
Simple white plaster cornices

buff or gray. Brass trim is used for

famous London decorator, made
elaborate use of white putty -stucco.
This durable material is amazingly
intact. In the original drawing room,
a panel decoration in bas-relief de-
picts the Feast of Bacchus. The for
mer dining-roo mantel, though
attractive, Is far less ornate.
Windows Add Attraction.
As in other houses of the late
Georgian period of architecture in
America, the attractiveness of the
design Of the Octagon House rests
largely on the proportion and spac-
ing of its windows and wall areas
of imported English brick. Further
interest was achieved by the use of
delicate and finely wrought railings
at the second story windows and
porch steps Of restrained design,
characteristic of the style of the
Brothers Adam.

proportions and refinement of de-

Housing Future Seen
Ringing on $3.50
Income Families
Dr.. Lubin Declares
Expanding Population
Secondary Factor

The future of the American hous.
ing industry depends largely on Its
ability to provide suitable shelter
for families whose incomes aver
age $3.50 a year and less.
This was the conclusion drawn
from recent testimony before the
Temporary National Economic Com
mittee by DR.. Isador Lubin. COM
missioner of labor statistics, and
quoted in the April issue of the
Federal Home Loan Bank Review
DR.. Lubin pointed out that as
the American population is in
creasing at a much lower rate than
during the 10th century, the fu-
ture demand for homes will not
come from an expanding population
but rather from static group which
is attempting to raise its standard
OF living
Summarizing the testimony as to
recent economic trends, the review
said:
The fact was stressed that Amer
lean industry cannot expect to
maintain itself profitably in the
future on sales to the income group
that receives $4,000 or more Qess
than 13 per cent of all our fam
flies, and in numbers population
approximately equal to that of New
York State). Even in the income
range of $3.50 and above we only
reach approximately one-half OF our
families.
Two Points Stand Out.
"'Half our market in this coun-
try for these industries that pro-
duce goods and employ our laborers
lies in the families that earn less
than $3.50 per year
Two points stand out clearly
from the mass of data submitted
Ut the hearings:
"l. The market for homes IN the
future is going to depend more and
more on a higher, standard Of prod
uct for a relatively static popula-
ton, less and less on a need for
new homes to accommodate a stead
lily increasing number Of families.
20. The housing industry, like
other industrial producers, must
build good houses in volume for
the families of moderate means in
order to tap this vast potential mar
ket in which one family out Of
every two has an income below
$l,250."
Production Declines.
This may be interpreted to mean
said the review, that the basic weak
ness of Americas economy could
be reduced to simple statement:
Although, from 1880 to 1888. we had
an increasing number of people to
clothe, feed and shelter, our in
dustry In no year produced as much
In total output as in the late 1920s.
In the years following 1929 indus
trial production has averaged near
" IS per cent smaller than in the
preceding nine years.
Regarding present trends in hous-
ing, the review said:
1--WE are now experiencing a re-
vival In home building, but the rate
of this recovery varies greatly in
different parts of the country. In
the South, for example, home build
ing is moving much faster rela-
lively than in the Northeast.
"The North Central States oc-
cupy a place intermediate between
the Northeast and the South, but

at a greater rate than any other

pointed out.
Under the proposal the school
will be housed in the west wing of

under extensive remodeling in the
Board of Education's building pro-

tensively over the first years of the
course, Mr.. Kohl said, in that more

be available later for prospective

Pickpockets
Mar Catholic
Convention
Harry Meyers, of Mime
apolis, Apprehended
And Held In Jail
SIX VICTIMS
Morphine, Needle
And Marks On Arm
Prove Dope Fiend

A pickpocket or group Of light
fingered artists came to Sank Gen.
tire Sunday and married an other
wise beautiful celebration with
their operations. At least six per-
sons were victimized and losses
were estimated in amounts up to
$62.
Operating among the huge mass
of people, the pickpockets were en-
abled to make good haul before
losses were noticed. When victims
discovered their wallets had been
lifted, call was sent for the police.
Sheriff McIntee, Deputy Fish, Of
ficer VIM. Hershiser, and Highway
Patrolmen Frederickson and Woods
appeared on the scene.
Sheriff McIntee and Deputy Fish
were attracted by the nervousness
Of an individual, and they grabbed
him just as he was about to drive
away in a car. The man, Harry
Meyers, Of Minneapolis, was arrest
ed and accused Of being the pick.
pocket.
Upon search $48 was found in his
possession, but losses reported be-
ing greater than that, another
search was conducted, and $3.50 was
found concealed in a slit in Meyers
belt.
A search Of the car later revealed
a large quantity Of morphine and
a needle. Marks upon the arm of
Meyers proved him a dope fiend.
Questioning and grilling failed to
link any other light-fingered ar
lists with him, yet authorities be-
lieve that there were one or sew
eral more with Meyers. It is thought
that the others made a hasty trip
to the city when Meyers was ap-
pretended.
Four hats and an extra pair of
pants in the car, provided oppor-
tunity for quick changes, 50 that
Identification by victims could not
be made. Money in the possession
Of Meyers has been turned over to

Meyers was taken to st. Cloud
Sunday night and held on a charge
of pickpocketing. When search of
the car was made, newspaper clip
pings Of celebrations in Sat-: Cen
tire, Sobieski, and other points were
found. It is possible that this was
the same fellow or gang, which OPP
Grated in Sank Centre during the
State Firemen's convention.
Five packages Of morphine, val
ued at approximately $3.50, were
found in the car in which Meyers
attempted to escape. Federal men,
as well as Minneapolis police want
him in connection with dope ped
ding and stickup charges. AL
though Meyers did not confess be-
ing a pickpocket, he did ask Sheriff
McIntee to return the money to
those who said they had been vic
timized during the convention in
this city Sunday.
