WINDOW OLASS We sell window glass and will replace your broken windows reasonably. Trowbridge Cab inet Works, WASHINGTON, D. C. (Spl.) A new and valuable dlvlston of the gov ernment la coming lntt existence In Washington so quietly that little is heard about it. It la a national ar chives, where, for the flrt time. Uncle Sain will have a safe place in which to deposit his "family pa pers." A bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic Society tells of the new archives building and the work that will go In It. Tapers Will Be "Pampered" "The structure, which will house the national government's assembled archives. Is one of the handsomiV i that Is being added to the capital's notable group of public buildings, says the bulletin. "Outside It la a thing of classic Greek beauty; but inside It Is ultra-modern. It has no windows, and neither outside light nor natural outside air will be ad mitted. 8ummer and winter the temperature will be kept around 73 degrees. The air will be conditioned the year round by a special plant which will wash out all traces of acid, which greatly shortens the life of paper. All atone and ir.et-1 work In the Interior of the building will be coated with a preparation to pre vent the flaking of paint or the for mation of dust. "The new structure occupies a tri angular plot of ground at the Junc tion of Pennsylvania and Constitu tion avenues, at the apex of the fed eral office building triangle. It is expected to be ready for use by the middle of next summer. Archivist Appointed "In many countries of Europe a national archives has long been an Import an arm of the government. Several states In this country have similar establishments for the pres ervation of official papers, records, and other documonts. But for the 158 years since the Declaration of Independence waa signed the United States has had no official agency re sponsible for the documents that charted Its course as a nation. "In June, 1934, congress enacted a bill creating the office of archivist of the United States. To organize this new agency. President Roosevelt re cently appointed Robert Dlggea Wlm beply Connor, of North Carolina, as the nation's first archivist, "Teachers, students, lawyers, con gressmen, research scholars, writers, diplomats, historians and others will benefit when this treasure house of records Is opened. For the first time scattered records, treaties, legal pa- pert and other official documents of active or historical value wilt be gathered together In a fireproof, dust proof and light proof home. Much of this priceless material now reposes In dusty filet or In damp cellars, or in half-forgotten loft, where It Is difficult of access and exposed to de struction by fire, light or dampness, to Hold Record "Just what sort of material will go Into our national archives? Mr. Con nor, the new archivist, taya It It per haps too early to give any list, but the act of congress creating fcs of fice states that all archtves or rec ords belonging to the government of the United Statea, whether from con gress, the law courts, or the execu tive divisions under the president, shall be open to inspection by the national archivist and hi staff, and that they may be removed to the ar chives building. "If a government official believes that certain records should be kept secret for a limited period of time, however, the records win not be available for Inspection. But the 'se cret period cannot be extended be yond the term of office of the offi cial making the request. Wilt Cull List "The national archivist and his staff may collect any government rec ords they wish, but before they burn or throw away any piece of official paper, thpy must first get the per mission of congress and the govern ment agency concerned. To prevent overcrowding, the archivist each year will submit a list of useless material for destruction. "In addition to papers and docu ments, the national archives will also receive motion picture films of Im portant historical events. In the ar chives building a small movie theater will show films to those engaged In special historical or governmental re searches. "Of Interest to scholars through out the world Is the additional pro vision for a national historical publi cations committee, which shall rec ommend documents for printing and distribution to libraries, colleges, writers, etc. On this Important com mittee are representatives of the state, war and navy departments, the li brary of congress, and the American Historical association. Many Records Old "Among the hallowed national 'family papers' that will be deposited In the new building are: The Treaty of Paris, 1783, by which Great Brit ain recognized the Independence of the United Staes; Lincoln's Emancl patton Proclamation: the Versailles Treaty of 1019; resolution of con gress declaring war against Germany, April 6, 1917: and the Kellogg pact, August 37, 1928. "The original copies of the two greatest documents owned by the United States, the Declaration of In dependence and the Constitution, will probably remain In the library of congress. They were placed there a few years ago by a special executive order, and another such order would be needed to remove them. "The new archivist, Mr. Connor, has been associated with historical research work for more than 30 years From 1903 to 1931 he served as secre tary of the historical commission of the state of North Carolina. Since 1921 he hat been professor of his tory at the University of North Caro lina." Use Mall Trloune want ads. Land Safas 1 do believe I'll trvone LORD'S SALVATION BASIC NEED SAYS Speaking from the Church of the Nazarene pulpit last night, Fred M.i Weather ford, pastor-evangelist, used at his topic, "The Lord's Salvation."; He drew hla text from Romans 1:16. A portion of his message follows: The primary tragedy of the world Is sin tn all Its blighting forms. The standard need of our social structure is the salvation of our Saviour. The key to our national success Is funda mentally baited upon a Christian so cial recast. The thing that has made our nation must sustain It. Sin Is a contraband moral tabrlc rejected by God, whether It be Individually or na tionally. "Christ Is the gateway to all moral nd spiritual relorm; Indeed. He is the only power that can refashion a nation from the fragments of a sin torn people. What He can do and what He has done Is the Invincible test of His power. "He Is power adequate to still the tempest by Hit mandatory speech. None but His miracle working power can feed a multitude from the lunch of a mere lad. Death becomes life at the Instance of His command. The The sin - bedraggled woman was changed by the utterance of a lone sentence, Thy sins which were many are all forgiven thee.' His Illuminat ing, sanctifying grace it the power that revolutionizes a pagan world. "What he 1ms done is a reflector of what He Is. He Is the sin emanci pator. Simeon said of Him: 'Mine eyes have seen thy salvation.' He Is the world's Saviour. He knows no national boundaries or barriers. All find a common footing and an equal bar of justice in the meditation of Christ. "When it is said that 'God Is love and therefore He is too good to pun ish.' It Is forgotten that His love Is a benediction consequent only upon obedience to His laws, and accord ingly Justice win be In '.he form of reward or retribution as merit or de merit demands." As a result of the evangelistic ap peal there were two professions of laun and salvation. 1001 men of the Second Oregon Vol unteers.
