DISCUSS BUILD ING PLANS WITH THE ARCHITECT Stricture 60x120 is Decided On Of Ample Size for Future Heeds Flans Ready Soon. Frwm Thursday' t)aHy Present last night at the meeting of Hugh J. Kearns post were forty members of the organization whd had come out to listen to a"preliminary report of the architect and offer sug gestions for improvement in the new community auditorium before it is advanced to definite existence on the blue prints. Present at the meeting were two Legionairee not members of the lo cal post as yet. Father George D. Pierce, new rector of St. Lake's Epis copal church of thU city, who led the opening ceremonial prayer, and Joe Capwell, of Elmwood post, who told of what has been accomplished at Elmwood in the way of securing a suitable auditorium for the town, by a pot of only twenty members, and with a large Initial outlay, nearly all of which has been paid off in the comparatively short time the post has been applying its activities money on the debt. The Omaha architect, Ernest F. Schrelber, also a Legionalre, was present and offered a preliminary sketch' and report on the building as a nucleus around which to bring up desired changes and a general dis cussion was engaged In with many helpful suggestions. The building will be 60x12 feet in size, with basement i.long the east side to accommodate two furnaces, one of the monopipe type at the rear and a hot air pipe furnace at the front to supply heat to the committee rooms and help heat the main audi torium when- it is used. The other part of the basement will house the kitchen and a banquet room that will suffice for small gatherings not large enough to require use of the main auditorium. The front part of the building will be two stories high, with check room on one side and ladles rest room on the other side of the entrance on the main floor. The second floor will be given over to Legion and Legion Auxiliary club rooms. Back of these will extend a balcony of some twenty ieet in depth and along the sides of the building balconies seven feet. in jdeptli will be supported from the structural rteel roof. Tho&e will accommodate two rows of seats and be valuable at basket ball games etc.. where an overflow crowd can be accommodated very nicely. At the rear a stage 17 feet depth, with 30 foot opening and dressing rooms at the sides on the main floor, and conference rooms in the upper part will he included In the plans. The main entrance will be at the front of the building with an exit on the east side to the driveway, where reople may step out nnder a canopy into their cars. The main auditorium will ha 58 by 8 4 feet and a maple danc floor will be laid there. Under the rule of six square feet to each person the seating capacity of this room will be around 800. In addition upwards of 00 more can be accommodated in the balconies. On further completion and accept ance of the plans, a pen and ink sketch will be made, from which a cut win De maae ior puuiirauoc, u that a more definite idea of the ap- president; Mrs. W. F.

TEE CONTAGION OF HEALTH ' After the close of the sesion of the - evening the hostesses, Mesdames Fred New York Times: Christendom has been taught that 'eril Commun ications corrupt good manners." Since Shakespeare's lime the English-speaking world has had the notion that while the good Is often buried In the grave, all evil that men do lives after them. In recent times the constant instrnetion has been to aroid contagious disease, in one form or another. Dr. E. E. Slosson's hint that, after all. health may also be contagious! comes as news. . To be ture, It isj derived from a few cases of rachitis, j otherwise rickets. It Is reported that . rats suffering from rickets due to1 defective diet and darkness "could be cured" by putting Into their cage! rats reared in the sunshine. Such "evil communication" with rickety j rats It would be held under old: theories could reult only in harm to the non-rickety rats. But in this i modern experiment the layman catches a glimpse of a new system of. i therapeutics. J For the preent, however, it will jhe wise to continue to avoid con taeious disease with the same dili gence; to keep all rickety children' out in the sunshine; to make effort ' to acquire health or retain It thru) the contagion Cf exercise and -observ-: ance of rules of health. The Mil-j hank Foundation is at the momct; trying in this way to spread health, in" certain selected areas. Its objec-J tive is to prolong the average span of : life by twenty years, and it has setj out to demonstrate that this is pos-j sible. The experiment will include aj half million people; 75.000 in a rural ( community, 200.000 in an Urban j community wiin vaneu iuuusuiot and 2000 in a New York city dis trict. An intensive effort will be made to persuade these halt million people to participate in this life extension .scheme, the belief being that by takinc thought upon our ways of life we may add years to' our Jives if net cubits to our stature. ; Dr. Slosson ;ntinia.tes taat we may even perform the latter miracle, molding not only character but sta--ture determining size, shape, color, complexion and even Sex. Yet it will doubtless be an achievement not of a generation but of ages.
