a member of the cabinet and called it
the department of commerce and la

horses and eold mounted harness. A
flunkey was put at its head, the high
est , position - that he had ever neia

Congress recently found out that Mr.
Cortelyou's department, hardly a year

To be sure a large amount of adver
tising was necessary in the first m
" stance to bring the remedy to the at
tention of the public, but everyone fa

Walking down Broadway with a
civil engineer and contractor when
recently in New York, attention was
called to the great height of the sky
scrapers. The engineer remarked tint
some day there might be an awful ca
tastrophy in that section of the city.
A very slight earthquake would throw
those tall buildings so far off the per
pendicular that they would come down
in an universal wreck. lie took an
envelope out of his pocket and figured
how' much the top of a 20-story build
ing would be thrown out of plumb
with a rise at one side of an Inch of
the foundation. There wasm earth
