.Now that the ideal . wall has
been recognized as an appropriate
and desirable type . of wall - con

ment, its already great popularity
will be: very ; much increased.
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

some cities required brick walls.

ness for dwellings. Mr, Hoover
appointed a committee of promin

formulate a model ; code- This
was recently issued, and the eight

types of house construction, is. al
lowed for the upper 20 feet of
two story dwellings plus five feet
for-a gable. 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,

a large fire place and a seat placed
next to the open stair.

The anchor of iron which stab

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

Rear Windows Are Placed,
Plastering Is Completed
in All Rooms
Rear windows have been put in
place in the one story building
being constructed next to the Sa
lem Bank of Commerce "building
on Liberty street. The architect
of the' building has been designed
to harmonize with that of the
bank building.
Plastering has been completed
in all three of the rooms. The
wooden frame work constructed
to receive the plate glass fronts
of the show windows is in place,
and has been given its first coat
of white paint. It is expected the
building will be ready for occu
pancy by the (irst of the ytar.
Final Coat of Stucco Is Ap
plied to Rear of YMCA
Building
Laying of the tile roof on the
new YMCA building, under con
struction on Court street between
Cottage and Church streets, has
been completed. The tile is red,
and sets off the building with a
dash of color. The final coat of
stucco has ben applied completely
to the rear wall of the building.
The only outside work now to do
Is the removing of tbe forms from
the front wall, and applying the
coat of stucco.
Kxterior portions of the window
casings throughout the building
have been painted, a light brown
to harmonize with the stucco.
Third floor is completed and
ready for installation of fixtures.
But one floor remaines to be plas
tered on the second floor. The
walls of the stairways fore and
aft have been plastered.
Lathing has been completed in
the men's lobby on the first floor.
The front office rooms have also
been lathed. The boys' lobby is
ready for the latherers, and will
probably be ready for the plaster
ers by the end of this week.

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. . NobodyJ
expected anything else. ,
The court was convened to con
vict. Before a court of generals.
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

testimony, it might have been ex

Colonel Mitchell was
