Construction of multiple
purpose auditorium building for
Washington will make possible de-
cided general economies in con-
struction, as compared with a
scheme necessitating more than one
hall for major purpose. in the
opinion of Alfred Kastner, local
architect and winner of two for
eign awards for auditorium designs.
Not only would the saving in
cubage in a multi-use building make
possible a reduction in the size OF
the structure needed to serve the
same requirements, but also it may
be possible to use these savings for
a higher quality of construction, q
very important factor should the
building be located adjacent to the
Federal Limestone zone" Mr.. Kast-
ner explained
Preliminary plans for a multiuse
auditorium submitted by Mr.. Kast-
ner to the Capital Auditorium Com
mission are based upon careful ex-
| animation of both suggested sites at
the end of East Capitol street and
in the Municipal Center and are
suitable for either site, he said. On
either proposed site, he said, ample
space could be left for subsidiary
planning considerations
Open Competition Urged.
AS was explained in yesterdays
article in this series. Mr.. Kastner
has advocated the holding Of an
open public architectural competi-
ton for the local auditorium design.
He submitted his design. he said.
as basis for discussion and con-
sideration by the commission.
"A national auditorium must an

ment to serve specific community

said in a report to the Auditorium
Commission. Its plans should be
determined by its functions, which
also determine seating capacity

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Ancient Greece had country to
the north known as Macedonia. The
people were related to the Greeks,
but had not made so much progress
in art and learning.
In the year we call 356 BE-, the
ruler of Macedonia-King Philip
became happy. A son was born, a
son named Alexander.
We are told that the King at once
began to think of the time when the
infant prince would be in need of
teachers, and wrote a letter to a
friend in Athens, saying:
This Is to let you know that son
has been born to me. am thankful
to the gods, not only because of the
birth OF the child but also because he
was born in your time. I am hoping
that at some time in the future he
will be your pupil, and that he will
prove worthy to take my place as
King OF Macedonia"
The Kings friend was named
Aristotle, and at the time was %
years old. Thirteen years later, he
received another message from
Philip, and was invited to come to
the royal court to teach Prince Alex
ander.
The King set up buildings for a
school some miles from his capital
city. In that place, several boys of
noble birth became pupils Of Aris-

-Greek Tuuqht Alexander

A story which may, or may not,
be true has come down to us, and
runs in this manner:
Aristotle asked his pupils, 'When
you boys grow up, and take your high
places in the world, what will you
do for your teacher?"
One boy promised that Aristotle
would be his "chief adviser" and
another said, "You will always be
allowed to dine at my table"
Alexander, on the other hand, re-
piled: "Why should you ask such
question? How do I know what
will happen in the future? You
must wait and see."
The story goes on to say that
Aristotle turned to the prince and
said, "You have spoken well. One
day you will be really great king"

FoiIing an End Play

When We first started to play
bridge many years ago, we always
listened with awe when some un-
usually learned person spoke of
-end-plays. Nowadays when a de-
clarer fails to execute a possible
end-play, he is considered to have
thrown" the hand. However, to
thWart an end-play is still consid-
cred quite feat, and we therefore
accord due credit to West for his
defense in today's hand.

queen. East won and returned a

winning with the jack. East now
played his remaining heart and
West false-carded by playing the
queen for he wished to create the

Retaining the jack of hearts, West
shifted to diamond, the king be-

to cash three club tricks on which
West had to discard three spades,
thereby banking his king. The ace
of diamonds was played and when
East showed out, South decided that
West must have the high diamond
and two spades. Declarer, therefore,
played dummys remaining dia-
mand, confidently expecting that
West would then have to lead into
his ace-queen of spades. Now West
gleefully cashed his concealed heart

Make SUN TANNING FUN

The outdoors present an ire
Sistible invitation to all of us during
the summer. There are so many
things to do-swimming, games,
sun-bathing, motoring we rush
headlong into the sun and fail to
take the proper precautions against
it's disastrous effects. A little sun,
of course, is excellent for health,
being the source of the much talked
of Vitamin d. 1t helps build up re-
sistance to colds and strengthens us
generally. But taken in over-doses,
it can make US severely uncom-
Portable, even to the extent of a
fever, commissions and rapid pulse.
And so it follows that we must take
our summing gradually and sys-
tematically.
Apply Oil Freely
Before you go out In the sun for
any length of time, cover all the ex-
posted parts of your body with a
cream or oil. Olive oil is very eff
fective applied both before you go
out in the sun and after coming in.
The sun has tendency to dry up
all the natural oils in the skin and
the olive oil helps keep it lubri-
Gated. If you are out long enough
for the first application of oil to
dry out, be sure to use some more.
Dry skins sun tan more easily and
wrinkle faster than oily ones. Tn
less you keep your skin well lubri-

Gated, 1t is likely to become rough
and coarse and deeply lined.
When you come out of the sun It
is wise to wash of the oil with
warm water, being careful not to
rub the skin roughly, and apply a
coating Of vinegar. If your skin Is
normally dry or if you feel that you
have been exposed overriding, you
might rub a bit of rich cream into
your skin and leave it on overnight.
Drink plenty of water before and
after being In the sun. The heat of
the sun makes you perspire and you
need more water to replace the fluid
thus lost.
Don't be frightened out of your
share of summer pleasures by fear
of over-exposure to the sun. Just
follow these simple rules-Iots of
water, frequent coatings of oil, and
plenty of common sense-and you
can have glorious, carefree sum-
mer.
