About two years ago ' the United States Senate appointed a commit- tee to investigate building costs. Hearings.. were held in various cit ies. The net result of the inquiry was to call attention to the exces sive and expensive requirements of many of the building . codes. This was found especially true of those sections of building 'codes which dealt with the minimum thickness of brick walls for dwell ing houses. Although brick walls eight inches thick had been used f mm f ImA Immamnvfal. ovis! anvsi comfortably housing Hferally hun dreds of thousands of families, some cities required brick walls. 12. 16 and of even greater thick ness for dwellings.

There lis no longer any reason why evejy municipal ity should not now allow this money saving yet permanent form of construction. It has been de veloped by the common brick in dustry at great expense, although its use will mean fewer brick sold for each brick' house built. The industry hopes, however, by re ducing the cost of brick houses to make their use more popular. The ideal wall is laid wkh bricks on edge forming a hollow wall. It has all the advantages of the hol low unit types of construction without its drawbacks. i The.Neponsct is an excellent story and a half design, built with this wall. It is a five room house with some very unusual features. It has a square plan the cheapest typo of building it is possible to erectand within its rectangular area an ample porch is provided, although the total dimensions are only 26 feet three inches by 27 feet.' It contains a living room 13 feet six inches by 12 feet with a large fire place and a seat placed next to the open stair.

Tangible Records of Chris topher Columbus Revealed by New Documents CHICAGO Tangible records of Christopher Columbus the most mysterious and romantic figure in America's historical back ground are being accumulated here in a collection of relics and pictures, documents and soal which besan with the World Col umbian Exposition here in 1393. The anchor of iron which stab ilized the flag ship Santa Maria of the exporing fleet, has oocd added to the Columbian exhibit of the Chicago Historical Society by gifts from South Tark board. More than nine fet high, weighing near ly two tons, the anchor reposed in Santo Domingo, Haiti for nearly four centuries. Presented to the exposition by Dr. Alejandro Llenas of Puerto Rico.. Santo Domingo, the anchor has been authenticated by many museum curators. It was secured by Dr. Llenas during his extensive research into Columbus lore and relics in the I e WsindsteviTinaO relics In tbe West Indies. In the ruin. 'of Xavidad, 200 years after Us founding, was found an inventory by Columbus' own hand. "Anchor of the cara vel," was on the faded parchment Relics of the early voyages of Columbus remained in the West Indies.

HIS RECEIPT 'oor. Men's Bills Crossed Out by Benevolent Mexican Country Merchant SANTA FE. Treasured in many bumble adobe houses in the mountains of Rio ArrTba cpunty. New Mexico, is a little soiled and wrinkled slip of paper. On it appears in Spanish: "Juan Sanchez (or whatever the name may be) to Felix Garcia. Dr." Then an itemized list of pur chases of chili, coffee flour, beans and at the bottom the endorse ment. "Paid in Full by God." It is a tale of the country mer chant who died a rich man, de spite the fact that he never press ed a debtor for payment, crossed the obligations of poor people off his books, and left among his papers bills receivable and pro missory notes amounting to $100, 000. Garcia, once a nominee of the democratic parry for government of New Mexico, dj.ed from a bul let accidentally discharged. Few men in New Mexico were more widely or sincerely mourned. The festeem in which he was held was based entirely on his honesty and humanity. He was not a brilliant man but gifted with sound buci ness judgment. , V Garria started a "typical small Spanish - American merchandise store. He made a little money and acquired a number of small ranrb properties. Pot the THr people did not contribute to his increas ing fortune. It a customer fell sick or had bad luck on his little mountain farm, or-was out of work. Garcia promptly dug up hi account and sent him the .bill marked "Paid in Full by God." He ran two stores in the lltt'" Tillage of Lumberton: one a cash store, the other a "credit store where he let hi3 needy patron run accounts as long as they wished. It is not of record that his generosity was often taken ad vantage of. by those able to tr and tbe bulk of tho ?l'00.t00 left unpaid . on his books really rep resented charity to tbe poor. H ADDS NEEDED COLOR MITCHELL VERDICT COMMENT IS DRAWN FROM STATE PRESS General Sympathy for "Fighting Billy" Forerast Jn Karljr Kdilor lals From Oregon Dally Papers, Tbe Verdict Every authority. Tery commit tee and every investigating body, outside ot the war and navy de partments and general staff, that has gone into the matter of air power has criticized the present status of the United States de fense, in that particular. Colonel Mitchell. - an aviation expert, did it. General Patrick, head of the army air service, did it. The president's investigating committee did it. Various .other bodies have done it." And now the bouse committee finds that "the army and navy are and, have been very conservative, IX not backward, in recognizing the great importance of air power." The report also says that due to the failure on the part of these services to "duly appreciate" the Importance of -air . power, "we find, in fact, that there still ex ists an alarming situation in both ihe army and navy air service due to shortage ot flying personnel and equipment." They hare all investigated and they have all reported. In addi tion there have been the Hawaiian flight, the polar flight and the Shenandoah. Out of it all comes a unanimous verdict that the con duct of the air service under the army and navy departments has been a failure and that the United States is in an "alarming situa tion" from the standpoint of air defenses. The testimony is all the same. The findings are all alike. There need be little more argument or little more fussing around. What is needed now is a remedy, and it is the duty of congress to provide it. Oregon Journal. Guilty? Guilty" is the verdict of the Mitchell court martial. .

Colonel Mitchell's discussion of things military and naval and air craft was the last word of viola tion of discipline. ' Our military system is the old Prussian system. Even if you know a superior offi cer is wrong, to make it public is the unpardonable sin. In the Mitchell cane it made no difference whether his criticisms were true or false. His offense was not what he said, but what he talked about, or that he talked at all. Ilia job, in the eyes of the court of generals, was to keep his mouth shut, even if there wasn't an airplane in the service that could fly. But there is a higher courts in which Colonel Mitchell is not yet adjudged "guilty." That is the great court of the American peo ple. The findings of the court of generals don't even prejudice his case with them. They remember that the gene rals and others spent $600,000, 000 for flying machines in lhs World war and scarcely produced a flying machine that could fly. And in the light of that pitiful history, they don't want the Col onel Mitchells muzzled. Oregon Journal. The Mitchell Verdict The voluble Colonel Mitchell has been found guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer and preju dicial to good order and military discipline. -This1 was the verdict returned by his court-martial jury of generals and In view of the testimony, it might have been ex pected.

This was too much for the dignity and perhaps the discipline of the service and according to the belated leUer, of ex-Secretary Weeks. Mitchell refused to bo muzzled. ; -,-Perhaps Colonel Mitchell was too free in voicing his opinion of the air service. A terhniml'con struction of his language would undoubtedly place it in the in subordination claB. for it went beyond the established rules of army etiquette. He did not re spect the tender sensibilities of superior officers, and viewed al most with contempt the bureau crats who were Ignorant in tho new science of aviation. What-' ever their training and their skill in other branches of the service -may have been, they knew, little or nothing of the specialized work in which Mitchell fa an undoubted. master. Now that the court-martial ha remanded the colonel to the rear, the general public, taking a broad view of the matter, may conclude " that the colonel sustained most ot the charges which 4ie so dramati cally conveyed to the wufld. It is generally conceded tht tbeso charges were made from no sinis ter motive. He wanted the coun try to know what he knew, and which, it. the mind of the average layman, he has proved to be cor rect. Regardless of his own for tunes, he "told the world" in lan guage that could be understood, and succeeded in riveting the at tention of the country and went Into the trial' surprisingly well prepared. Despite the serious nature of the charges made by Colonel Mitchell, corroborative evidence at the trial proved that he had not,- as charged, talked too loud or too much.' Regardless qt the rer dict, there will bo a good many millions of people' who will feel that he has performed a patriotic service in exposing the' weak points in our aviation, service. It will take something more than the verdict of a court-martial to send a man of this type Into oblivion, and martyrs have : been made of poorer material. -Toe Portland Telegram.'
