As most people are aware, the lnstl tutlon known as th» International Bu reau of American Republics, or Pan American bureau, as it Is usually railed, is a sort of common headquar ters and clearing house for informa tion. maintained jointly by all the American nations from the great lakes to Cape Horn. It was tha outgrowth of the first Pan American* conference which was held la Washington in lg$9 and it U maintained by a common fund to which all of the Independent nations of the three Americas “chip in" Id proponlea to their population Inasmuch as the United States by this plan pays more than half of the ex peeses of the bureau. Its' headquarters have from the outset been located in Washington. Some years ago wnen the rented quarters of tbe bureau in Washington became man festly Inadequate for Its expanding activities, a project was set afoot to erect a permanent Lome lor It. It was to cost $125,000, sort the different republics were to contribute In proportion lo population as they do for tne annual expenses of the insti tution. Several of the Soutn Amer ican countries proceeded on this basis and there was something like $50,000 on hand when the congress of the. United States declared for a more pre tentious building and appropriated 1200,000 Instead of merely Its share of the $125,000. Soon after Andrew Car negie came forward and offered to do nate the whole sum needed for .. build' ing— and a much Bner building tha had previously been thought of.

W ith three-quarter* of a million dot lar* provided by Mr Carnegie for a budding, the Pan American bureau »a* enabled to devote the tHtVOfl* °* hand to the purchase of a site, and a most admirable tract of several acres was secured ;n an Ideal location south of the White House and over !«>->klng the Potomac river.

Is protected from the sun hy an overhanging roof and cooled by maters failing from a beauilful marble foun tain On all hands are tropical plants, while the quaint pavement white stucco walls and lew doers suggest the Spanish atmosphere. Much space In the rooms which open from this "pa tio" is gHen over to the Columbus Me nio^al library, the great collection of book* on Pan American subjects which Is one of the principal features of the bureau. There are stack rooms for 120.000 volumes; a fireproof vault for valuable documents and a reading room 40 by 100 feet in site. • Offices occupy most of the second floor of the new building, the princi pal apartments being designed for the use of the director of the bureau, the secretary and the governing board On this floor also is the beautiful as sembly hall or hall of American am bassadors. of which mention has al ready been made. This imposing au ditorium is more than 100 feet la length and 05 feet In width. A total of two doien ornamental columns sup port the ceiling which rises 45 feet above the floor. Five large bay win dows with balconies overlook the gar den in the patio.
