poverty and despair to accept a dictator
who will find that he must be ruthless and
tyrannical to keep himself in power. There
is no such thing as benevolent dictator

WASHINGTON - More than
four-fifths OF the 179 communities
participating in the national slum-

housing program of the United
States Housing Authority have
populations of 100000 or less.
Local housing authorities OF 145
communities having less than a

to provide safe and sanitary low

Striking and beautiful example
OF a new and growing industry in
the building field - the built-up
wood arch industry--are the glued
laminated Douglas fir arches which
support the auditorium roof OF the
new Penthouse theater now being
brought to completion on the
southwest corner Of the University
Of Washington campus. Seattle.
The theater In an unusual prof.

city and charm to a campus al
ready world-famed for Its archi-
teetural distinction. In the words
of the University Of Washington
Daily, 1t Is the roof truss con.
struction in the new theater which
Is attracting wide attention from
builders and designers all over
America"
Rising vertically 20 feet, tn,
roof supports are anchored on the
outer rim Of the auditorium. They
converge In hub" at the peak
of the structure. supporting the
roof over an octagonally designed
auditorium without the use Of cen.
ter supports and thus eliminating
behind the pillar" seats common
to the ordinary theater. When
complete. the auditorium will seat
an audience Of 200 persons on
circular tiers of seats around a
center stage. in the classic Greek
manner. II will be opened 10 the
public May IS. 1910.
The arches are made of Douglas
fir boards. nine-sixteenths Of an
inch thick and five and one-hslf
inches wide. These boards are OF
random lengths and scsrf-spliced
with glue TO form a piece long
enough to extend from the heel TO
the crown. The arch curve in each
case was made by bending the
laminstions in clamping Jig
which also supplied the pressure.
Method Used In Europe
Although this type Of construc-
ton has been used with success
in Europe for more than 80 years
even such structures as vehicular
bridges and railroad sheds being
built with laminated trusses - il
was the construction OF an ex-
perimentai service building for the
u. s. Forest Products laboratory,
at Madison. Wis. in 1885, which
marked the real beginning OF the
present increasing use Of the built
up wooden arch in this country. sc-
cording to T. r. C. Wilson. senior
engineer of the laboratory.
Since then, Mr.. Wilson points
out more than 100 buildings or
halls Of the same general type
have been built In midwestern
states. including churches. COM
munity halls. gymnssiums. ga
RACES, dance halls, and Gothic
styled dairy barns. The arches In
these buildings vary widely In
shape but not in design principle.
