Brooklyn, N. Y. > TIME'S paper is still the same. TIME'S type face (except for heads) has not changed; it is still linotype's Old Style #7 set in the same size, 9-point, but in order to improve legibility the lines have been leaded, or spaced out, ½-point wider...
...Roosevelt's sketches with Mr. Toombs's finished plans revealed a fairly high degree of competence in the amateur, only minor improvements by the professional. Mr. Roosevelt had placed his bedroom windows badly, had left little wall space for beds. Mr. Toombs corrected this, slightly increased the size and improved the shape of these two rooms (to 13 ft. by 14 ft. and 13 ft. by 19 ft). He took the icebox out of a remote kitchen corner, cut down a huge servant's bathroom to provide a servant's closet, enlarged the living room...

About $25,000,000 has been the customary size of a loan to one of these little states by a great power, when it has been desired to sew up an alliance or break one off.

Planned for use within a twelvemonth, with finishing touches to go on for a year more, the eventual Washington National Airport will have a seaplane terminal at its south end, can be extended half its size again by filling in to the northeast. Peskiest bug in the project is the new, and roundly protested, research laboratory of the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads, sticking up like a sore thumb on Gravelly Point no feet above the Potomac and just to the west of the proposed field. Last week CAA and army engineers were planning to build the necessary air field...
