...Before it was silenced by Governor Roosevelt the Press of the land had lugged out all the Democratic Cabinet timber available. Public interest centered chiefly around the State and Treasury portfolios. Last week Secretary of State Stimson announced that he was ready to coach his successor as soon as he was appointed. For this No. i job President-elect Roosevelt, weak on foreign affairs, needs a particularly able Secretary with an expert international knowledge. President Harding had such a man in Charles Evans Hughes. The favorite candidate for Democratic Secretary of State, at least with the Press, is Owen...
Construction crews followed the timber cruisers. Mills were erected at Longview, Wash, on the Columbia River to secure water transportation to world markets. Railroads were built 30 mi. into the hills to lug down the logs. Plunked down in the wilderness, the entire city of Longview (pop. 10,500) was constructed for employes. Long-Bell became the world's largest lumber company. Then, two years after the Northwest operation was begun, said Founder Long, "the lumber business just dried up."

Personally, I do not believe the Hopi Indians are immune or have an antidote which can be successfully used after...
...member, teaching male and female pupils his basic architectural law: that the architect must integrate his building with its surroundings (function, terrain, climate), make plain its structural elements and if possible develop them as ornamentation. He would teach them the feel of materials by having them blast stone, hew timber, dig soil, work in a machine-shop. They would study, sweat, play and brood in unison. They would be called, not ''students'' as in other colleges, but by the fine old medieval guild word, "apprentice." Last week Architect Wright had done something about his school idea...
