Hornbostel and Eric Fisher Wood of Pittsburgh. Their design calls for a circular mausoleum, 49 ft. high and 80 ft. in diameter. It will be supported by Doric columns and within will be an open court. In the court, two black marble slabs shaded by a single willow tree will cover the sarcophagi of the President and Mrs. Harding. A stair will lead down to a marble-lined crypt. The memorial will stand in a ten-acre park for which A. D. Taylor of Cleveland will be landscape gardener. They hope to open the memorial by Nov. 2, 1927, which...

It shows marked Byzantine influence and in its turn became a model for several college chapels in Oxford and Cambridge, England. It seems likely that...

The embattled Richmond committee, indeed, has claimed that the C. & O. would have shown earnings of $38 a share last year, if the same amount had been spent in maintenance in 1924 as in 1922. In other words, the C. & O. management, according to the committee, took this way of hiding much of its actual earnings (and, therefore, worth). The Richmond committee wants better...
