1 Washington.—Three basic architec-
tural designs account for the sim-
plicity and beauty of lines of the hun-
dreds of federal post office buildings
now springing up all over the United
States.
The depression and the Public Works
administration have made new post
office buildings as common as "little
red scboolhouses'* once were. The pro-
curement division of the Treasury de-
partment has awarded 780 construc-
tion contracts since February 14, 1930.
A great majority of these hnve been
for post offices. Several hundred re-
main to be built
The outward appearances of these
structures are almost as diversified
as the contracts are numerous. Yet
they all trace their origin back to
three basic designs: The colonial,
found most frequently In the Atlantic
•♦•aboard area; the contemporary or
modern, found In all communities of
the country, and the Spanish or mis-
sion type, In the Southwest

“This Is not an attempt to make
Vanned' architectural drawings or de-
signs," one of the chief architects of
the procurement division explained.

ment at Southport.
office buildings fit or blend Into their
surroundings as If they had grown
up out of the ground In their respec-
tive localities—In short, local prod-
ucts."
The procurement division has de-
veloped scores of designs of each type
of architecture used. In some locali-
ties where two types of architecture
prevail, a post office building In which
both types are blended may be con-
structed.
“In considering plans for a post
office building In any city or town
there are three basic requirements
which we must take Into account,” an
architect explained. “We must con-
sider the total floor space required or
likely to be required In the reason-
ably near future In that locality by
the government. We must take Into
account the historic or traditional type
of architecture In that locality. We
also must consider climatic conditions.’’
Space Requirement Survived.
Space requirements by the govern-
ment have been carefully surveyed in
every city and town of the United
States. A "space control” department
has been set up within the procure-
ment division to Inventory these apace
requirements and the space available.
This “space control” department allots
the space occupied by government
bureaus and agencies throughout the
country.
“We have found,” the architect ex-
plained, “that when we take the three
basic requirements for post office
buildings In two or three hundred
cities, itemize them on cards and
shuffle those cards thoroughly, they
fall Into a comparatively few designs.
From those basic designs we have
worked out a multitude of designs and
types which fit virtually any require-
ment.”
Snakes Rid Isle of Rats;
Duty Done, They Vanish
Melbourne.—Thursday Island, off the
Cape York finger of northenstern Aus-
tralia, until recently was a tropical,
palm-girt spot on the map “where ev-
ery prospect pleases and only rats are
vile.”
In fact, the rats were a perfect pest,
especially to the shipping company
which owns the wharf and Its store.
Cats were taken on the staff and paid
84 cents a week In cat's-meat currency.
They did almost namelln service, but
not quite.
Then two large carpet snakes were
appointed with board, lodging and oth-
er emoluments. By day they slept In
the rafters of the store; by night they
worked.
In an Incredibly short time every
rat disappeared. So, now, have the
snakes. No one knows where, but
Thursday Island has deleted the "only''
from Its pleasing prospects.
Varnishing Walls
Any painted wall may he varnished
over. It Is a common practice to var-
nish line Tiffany glaze finishes as well
as plain walls, for reason of protection.

THE LONELY
CROSS
By
LEONARD A. BARRETT
WNU INrvit*.
The cross Is the cardinal symbol In
Christianity regardless of Its various
_ creeds and denomi-
nations. The popu-
lation of a certain
city was assembled
by the city’s offi-
cials for the pur-
pose of discussing
waj’s and means for
erecting a beautiful
cathedral. The first
decision was to ap-
peal for funds ad-
equate for the task.
People gave
generously and
many, sacrlflclally.
It was not long ere
the foundations of the cathedral were
laid, the cornerstone set, and the sanc-
tuary finally completed. The day of
dedication brought throngs from far
and near. A general spirit of rejoicing
prevailed, and the cathedral was filled
dally with devout worshipers. On
the high altar was a very beautiful
cross that Instantly caught the eye of
every one who entered the cathedral.
The cross was one of the most ex-
pensive that money could purchase. It
was wrought of pure gold and studded
with rare and sparkling gems. There
VICEROY OF INDIA
The marquess of Linlithgow, a Scot-
tish peer only forty-seven years old,
has undertaken one of the most diffi-
cult jobs In the British empire. He
has been made viceroy of India for a
five year term, succeeding Lord Will-
lngdon.
the cross stood all alone—a “Lonely
Cross” for many years, while thou-
sands of people through its symbolism
were uplifted and strengthened In
mind and heart
One day something almost miracu-
lous occurred. The cross of gold
seemed to speak. While passing In
front of the altar, an attendant of (he
temple seemed to hear a voice from
the cross which said: “I am very lone-
ly here. Many people gaze upon me.
but they are so very far away. None
of them ever touch me. I seem so re-
mote, so very far away from the
thronging inass of people In your big
city." The attendant could scarcely be-
lieve he heard aright, but the voice
from the cross continued: “Will you
not remove me from this secluded nook
and place me where human need is
the greatest; where people live In con-
gested centers and are neglected and
discouraged; where men are out of
work and where little children cry
with hunger?” So they took down the
cross. The precious gems were sold,
the gold was melted, and with the
money, food was bought for the hun-
gry, raiment for the poor and naked.
Once again the lamps of courage anil
hope burned within the hearts of many
people.
But no cross stood upon the marble
slab of the high altar. So the keepers
of the cathedral passed among those
who had been helped an alms plate,
and upon It the poor gave of their
small earnings—many coins small In
valne bnt rich In gratitude. With these
coins they had made, In a can^nteris
shop, a cross of the finest wood; a
bountiful cross symmetrically perfect.
Tlda cross was tenderly placed upon
the high altar. As the attendant
passed by the cross he seemed to hear
another voice which spoke In a spirit
both Joyous and victorious:
“Love I gave thee with myself to
love.
"Inasmuch as ye have done It unto
one of the least of these my brethren,
ye have done it unto me.”

The Framed Picture Pillow Cover Is Jaunty and New. Note the Knife Pleated

'T'HE fabric framed picture pillow
-l cushion cover Is a smart novelty.
It Is Just the thing for summertime
use for It is charming when developed
In glazed chintz. It can be a main
cover or a slip cover to protect a
handsome cushion. Or It can be a
luxurious cover when fashioned of silk
brocade with plain satin or velvet for
the textile frame.
For the center choose a square of
pictorial material. This may be a
quaint toile de Jouy, one of the old
or modern reproductions of an Eng-
lish scene, or an American landscape.
Or It may be a square containing a
floral motif of some sort. Any at-
tractive textile of pictorial merit can
be used successfully provided the
square is of sufficient size to show
one full unit. It may have to Include
fragments of other motifs when these
are In close repetition, but this Is un-
important. The necessity Is to have
the square contain enough beauty to
warrant its use for our purpose, and
large so that the frame Is so wide
that It will dwarf the picture.
The size of the square cannot be
given, as It must depend on the size
of the motif to be framed. Also the
shape may have to suit the require-
ments of the picture. That Is, the
motif may be somewhat wider than its
height, or higher than Its width, and
then a slightly oblong shape would be
needed. However, the discrepancies
must be slight to Insure uniformity of
width of frame. The’pillow may be
slightly shaped to conform to the
shape of the picture. Which, by the
way, should be woven or printed In
colors.
The frame must be of a one-toned
material, although It can be of nov-
elty weave, or In self-toned design.
Its width is determined by the size
of the picture and the cushion on
which the cover is to go. A three or

four-inch frame is the average. The
picture can be centered on the square

frame can be seamed to the edges of

There Is an Interesting molding ef-

where It meets the picture, and also
extending all around the other edge.
This fancy molding effect sets an Im-
