Work Now Progressing on
13 Buildings in Capital.
Washington.? Out of $14$,OOO.*)0
aside by. congress for public bulldln*?
construction In all the states this
< fiscal year, the sum ? of $30,000,000
will be ''expended within the confines
of the National Capital, official govern
ment figures disclose.
At the present moment work. Is pro
.. gresslng' on 13 buildings located In
the dtyof, Washington. Most . of them
are In the triangular development" of''
public bulfdlngs located within a mile
of the Capitol building.
One of the .buildings, that for the
Department of Agriculture, will coat
the taxpayers $12,000,000 when^ com
pleted. The cost of four others will
exceed $10,000,000 each. ;,Thrte others
will set the nation back $5^)00.000 or
more. The total cost of all those un>
der construction and under contract
? Is estimated at $80.000, 000. . Thrs fig
ure compares with $384,000,000, the
aggregate estimated cost of all build
ings now under contract or under con
struction throughout the country, In
cluding those In the district.
Huge Commerce Building.
A building, the largest of Its kind
In the world, was completed for the
Commerce department last yeftr at a
cost of $17,000^000.
The I.ahor department estimate of
Its 1034 needs are $13,393,000. That of
the Interstate "Commerce commission
is $9,061,000. The building being erect
ed to handle the work of these two
groups, the latter one now under at
tack In many quarters as an agency
of government that might well be abol
ished, will cost $11,250,000. Its cor
nerstone recently was laid. The post
office establishment, still operating a
staunch building, Is to be housed In a
new building costing $10,300,000. The
old ono Is to be razed.
The centerpiece of the new gigantic
public works now under construction
In the district Is the so-called triangle,
literally In the heart of the city. With
this goes the collateral development of
the Mall, which borders the triangle
on the south. The trlanglar develop
ment Includes all the land between
Pennsylvania avenue. Third street,
Missouri avenue and Fifteenth street
N. VV. 4
The ground contains 70 acres, and
beginning with an apex where Third
street crosses Pennsylvania avenue It
gradually widens 8,000 feet at
Fifteenth street, 1 8* blocks to the south
ward. All this development borders
Pennsylvania avenue, the historic high
way connecting the. treasury and the
White House with the Capitol. '
Gazing Into Future.
Washington, as It will be when the
gove^^ment has completed Its work,
Is thus described by Assistant Secre-.
tary of the Treasury Ferry ,K. Heath :
"In the, years to -come the occu
pants of the modest flivver or the

REGRETTING
THE PAST
Br THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Lata Dean of Men, >
University of Illinois.
[ Time which ,1s spent In regretting
j the past la vainly spent,
"If I could only
live my youth over
again," Jacobs said
to me only last
week, "ho** differ
ently I would spend
It-I I could have
had a better edu
cation than I now
have, for I sadly
neglected my oppor
tunities. I plckqd
up habits which
bave been a con
stant handicap to
me; and I Ignored
chances to make
money which 1 can now sec sjj clearly
as anything."
Well, these opportunities are gone
and they cannot hy any possibility be
recovered, and who knows whether or
not If Jacobs had the chance to live
his life over again he would make as
much of It the second time as he did '
the first?
Gregory made a sad mistake when
"he was twenty: lie got into bad com
pany, he committed a crime, was con
victed, and paid the penalty by serv
ing a prison sentence. He ts out now,
and has a Job and a fair prospect of
getting somewhere. 1 hear from him
at Intervals and I do my best to give
him encouragement. Ills letters are
full of regrets; he cannot forget the
past It Is dead, however; It cannot
be changed; so far as It Is humanly
possible It should be burled and for
gotten. Regrets are unavailing.
Mrs. Jennings has Just lost her
mother, aftef a long and serloufe Ill
ness. Everything was done that could
be done for the sick woman. She had
careful nursing and the most skillful
physicians. She was glv.en the most
mfeticulbas and loving care. Mrs.
Jennings spends her time now In re
grets thatWihe did not' do this or try
tha^ or call lift some other professional
i man who might have prescribed a d!f>
ferent or a more effective treatment.
She criticizes herself constantly, for
omissions and commissions, ana so
she keeps herself* stirred up and un
happy over the past. She has plenty
to engage her attention with those of
her family who are loft If she only
would devote- herself to them, but she
ift enerossed In regretting the past.

Chicago.? In a quiet room at/ the
Chicago airport a man tits at a desk
dialing number* on a telephone and
talking Into a microphone. He it talk
Ing to pilots of large pasenger planes
flying op routes that extend from Chi*
cago city , to the sea Iq the east; south
and -west. . Hy the simple expedient of
dialing a number )ae Selects, the <f>lane
to tfbMh be wants "to talk.
The two-phones on his headset bring
jln slpost continuous reports from
pilots, flying hundreds of miles away.
By means of two deceiving sets, which
are attached to the headset, he hears
all the pilots diking at once. When
he dials a number, he Increases the
volume of one pilot's .voice, at the
same time decreasing the others to a
whisper. However, he must listen to
them all In order to hear an emer
gency call. \
This scene occurs dolly In the radio
dispatch room of' United Air lines at
the .Chicago airport. The dial by
means of which the congested flow
of radio conversation Is controlled by
the dispatcher Is a new development,
perfected by communications engineers
of the United Air lines after a year
of experimenting.. It has been adopted
and will be Installed In the 36 ground -
radio stations of the air transport
system.
A typical scene , found Dispatcher H.
P. Morgan was on -duty In the dispatch
room. The mlnuto hand of a clock
above his desk reached 29 minutes
after 11 o'clock. It was time for a re
port from J. H. Smart, pilot of a plane
eastbound from Cleveland. Smart was
reporting on tho NAT kilocycle band,
so Morgan dialed the numbers 07 to
Increase the volume of that receiver,
and then the number 3 to decrease the
volume of the other receiver, which
brings in the BAT kilocycle band.
"Go ahead. Smart," Morgan said.
"Smart In 80 westbound, 3 east of
Helmer 3.200," the pilot's voice came
In, loud and clear. Smart's few words
Indicated that he was flying plane No.
80 three miles east of Helmer, Ind.. at
.an altitude of 3.200 feet.
"O. K. Smart 3 east of Helmer
3,200," Morgan replied. "Chicago

? If you would spare yourself much

don't hunt for hurts. I'robahly many
of you are Baying, "What a strange

But strange as it may seem, many of
us do.
For example, when you were out
last evening one of the company said
something which b^hered you. What
did she oienn?H Thpre was an Inter
pretation which could he put upon the
words which would he disparaging.
Had the woman meant what she said
to be taken so. or not?" If she did,
she certainly was unkind, really rath

there could be no other Intention, nor
uny other possible construction of the
sentence thnn the unkind one.
Mental Strifo
Such thoughts stir up Btrlfe In your
mind. You begin to dissect the wom
an's life, as you know' It, and all the
disagreeable ways she hns, and all the
odd things she hns ever snld, until
her character Is pretty disagreeable
all around. You are upset and both
ered. You hnve been hunting for
trouble.
It Is quite likely that tiie womnn had
no slurring thought In her mind to
ward you. She mny be entirely un
aware of how hurt ,you are, and when
next you see her, she feels there la a
restraint In^you, a reserve toward her
which rankles. And she, not thinking
for a moment that she brought this
feeling pf youra forth, begins to see
you In an unexpected light She com
mences to think of your "off side," and
to llnd your fault*. Now It Is she who
Is hunting for trouble. '
(>na#ure way not to hunt for trouble
Is always to pu the best construction
on what person* any. Some people
have an unfortunate way of saying the
wrong thing, without really meaning
uny ligrm. They have not learned to
express themselves graciously It la
ftgrattflble that they do no* know thla,

; .talei It can mAke for them.

There are persons who write In t
brusque way, and others who have an
abrupt manner over the telephone, If
you are hunting for hurt* you will ha

Ut these persons have the benefit of
the doubt. , When there is any ques

No Difficulty at All
v for Man of Medicine
The doctor's patient looked terri

"Oh, doctor," he said, "I don't
know what's wrong with me. I'm '
never well. I can't tell you why."
"Where's the pain?" asked the med
ical man brusquely.
**I don't know, doctor." continued
the patient. "I can't quite locate It.
but' It's something that leaves me
quite done Up, as It something In
side Isn't working properly. Still, I'm
sure yoti will know what's wrong."
The doctor nodded, understandlng

medicine. It Is for cases exactly like
yours. Take It from time to time
for as loug as it suits you. I can|t
tell you Just now how often or how
long or what doses to take, but when
you are cured you can come back to
me for some more."

Beware the Cough or
Cold that Hangs On
Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them, now
with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a
new medical discovery with two-fold ac
tion; it soothes and neals the inflamed
membranes and inhibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is recog
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for per
sistent coughs and colds and other forms
of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and in
flammation, while trie creosote goes on to
the stomach, is absorbed into the blood,
attacks the scat of tho trouble and checks
the growth of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory
in the treatment of persistent coughs and
colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and
other forms of respiratory diseases, and
is excellent for building up the system
after coldB or flu. Money refundeu if anv
cough or cold, no matter of howlongstana
ing, is not relieved after taking according
todirtctions. Ask your druggist. (Adv.)
