Work Now Progressing on
13 Buildings in Capital.
Washington.—OQut of $145,000,000 set
aside by congress for public buildings
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-
gressing on 13 buildings located In
the city of Washington. Most of them
are in the triangular development of
public buildings located within a mile
of the Capitol building.
One of the buildings, that for the
Department of Agriculture, will cost
the taxpayers $12,000,000 when com-
pleted, The cost of four others will
exceed $10,000,000 each. Three others
will set the nation back $5,000,000 or
more. The total cost of all those un-
der construction and under contract
is estimated at $80,000,000. This fig-
ure compares with $384,000,000, the
ggregate 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 year at a
cost of $17,000,000,
The Labor department estimate of
its 1034 needs are $13,303,000. That of
the Interstate Commerce commission
is £0.661,000. 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 one is to he razed.
The centerpiece of the new gigantie
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 trianglar develop-
ment includes all the land between

PHONE PLANES BY
DIALING NUMBERS
New Development Is Aid to Air
Communication.
Chicago.~In a quiet room at the
Chicago airport a man sits at a desk
dialing numbers on a telephone and
talking Into a microphone. He is talk-
ing to pllots of large pasenger planes
flying on routes that extend from Chl
cago city to the sea in the east, south
and west.,. By the simple expedient of
dialing a number he selects the plane
to which he wants to talk,
The two phones on his headset bring
in almost continuous reports from
pilots, flying hundreds of miles away.
By means of two recelving sets, which
are attached to the headset, he hears
all the pllots talking at once. When
he dials a number, he increases the
volume of one pllot's voice, at the
same time decreasing the others to a
whisper. However, he must listen to
them all in order to hear an emed
gency call,
This scene occurs dally In the radio
dispatch room of United Alr 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 Alr lines after a year
of experimenting. It has been adopted
and will be installed in the 38 ground
radio stations of the alr transport
system,
A typleal scene found Dispatcher H.
P. Morgan was on duty in the dispatch
room. The minute hand of a clock
above his desk reached 20 minutes
after 11 o'clock. It was time for a re
port from J. H. Smart, pilot of a plane
easthound from Cleveland. Smart was
reporting on the NAT kllocycle band,
so Morgan dialed the numbers 07 to
increase the volume of that receiver,
and then the number 3 to decrease the
the other receiver, which
brings in the BAT kiloeycle band.

Mental Strife
Such thoughts stir up strife In your
mind. You begin to dissect the wom
an's life, as you know it, and all the
disagreeable ways she has, and all the
odd things she has ever sald, until
her character Is pretty disagreeable
all around. You are upset and both
ered. You have been hunting for
trouble.
It is quite likely that the woman had
no slurring thought In her mind to
ward you. She may be entirely un
aware of how hurt you are, and when
next you see her, she feels there Is 8
restraint in you, a reserve toward her
which rankles. And she, not thinking
for a moment that she brought this
feeling of yours forth, begins to see
you in an unexpected light. She com
mences to think of your “off side.” and
to find your faults. Now it Is she who
is hunting for trouble
One sure way not to hunt for trouble
is always to pu the best construction
on what persons say. Some people
have an unfortunate way of saying the
wrong thing, without really meaning
any harm. They have not learned to
express, themselves graciously [It ia
regrettable that they do not know this

mier it can make for them.
Believing the Best
There are persons who write in a
brusque way, and others who have an
abrupt manner over the telephone. If
you are hanting for hurts you will be
snnoyed by the tone of the letters, or
by the curtness of the telephone call
