location some 8 miles north of the city,
the Soldiers Home, a United States mill

morning about $50 coming in to busi-

held upright over their shoulders. They
say this guard was against his personal
wishes, but he let his counselors have

show in uniform or horses.
Mr.. Lincoln in the saddle generally
rides good-sized, easy-going gray horse,
is dressed in plain black, somewhat rusty
and dusty wears a black stiff hat and
looks about as ordinary in attire, etc. as
the commonest man. A lieutenant, with
yellow straps, rides at his left, and fol-
lowing behind, two by two come the
cavalrymen in their yellow-striped
jackets They are generally going at

by the Hardwood road, contains the tomb
of Gen. John A. Logan, who rendered
conspicuous service during the Civil War
and later served as United States Senator
from Illinois. He ran on the ticket with
James G. Blaine in 1884, when that noted
orator and statesman was defeated by
Grover Cleveland. The Logan tomb faces
the road and is conspicuous enough to
be easily seen by those passing that way.
Here many headstones also mark the
final resting place of those brave men
who fought in defense of the Republic,
or who at least wore the uniform of the
United. States and were ready to de-
fend 1t.
Down in the Harewood section Of the
grounds are the chicken farm, the dairy
and COW pastures. Few people who go
automobile riding these days are not
familiar with the wonderful herd of Hol-
stein COWS, which they cannot help seeing
as they enter or leave by the First street
gate. They are the admiration Of all
lovers of good stock and always attract
the attention Of those passing that way.

Nevertheless, this unprecedented year in
the building of Federal Offices will have
a lasting effect on Washington and it
might be wise to take stock Of what has
and is being done.
The food of requests for Office building
money began to pour into Congress last
October. That month, incidentally. wit
messed the last appropriation to date for
a "peacetime" Federal department, an
item of s9,85O 900 for new General Ac-
counting Office, and it is interesting TO
note that, although the money is in hand,
the G. A. o. project never has got beyond
the blueprint stage.
At the same time, Congress canc
through with the first money for the SC
called defense agencies" which hay,

Congress has been asked to appropriate
a total of s61 $4,000 for Federal Office
buildings in the Washington area in less
than a year. Last week, s20,350 900 Of
this money had been put to work and
the balance was being hurried toward
availability under the spur of defense.
Not since 1885, when work on the
Federal Triangle reached its cost zenith,
has the Capital seen anything like the
curreat Government building boom.
That year little more than s23,850,000
was put into Federal Offices and many
cried "spendthrift!"
Now the money is being spent 'for
defense and the average person is too
busy watching the Nations preparedness
progress to give serious thought to cost.
