earnings.
-n Such is the decision of the Ameri

rities. ' -

Securities Building Heads List.
The Securities building in Omaha
heads the list, the American Archi
tect having decided this building is
the best rented and most profitable
of all the office buildings covered
bv the investigation, as it shows a
larger net income, per square foot I
oi tloor space, than any of its com
petitors. s' Design, construction, location and
economical management were all
considered in the investigation.
Here's what the. American Archi
tect has to say about it:
'The record of building 27 (which
iv the Securities building), deserves
special comment, as it shows larger
tict earnings' than any other build-!
r.. j
Highest-Priced Corner. I
- "This building isVsix stories high.!
constructed of re-enforced concrete,
uitli glazed tile exterior. The build
ii'i,' stands on gic of the, highest,
priced coiners, in a-cttv of about
-IIIMMIO population.
"The basement is- occupied' by a
pool room, barber shop and bank.
The stores are furnished for drugs,
optical goods, women's shoes, iew
ylry. nitfii's furaishings, cigars, flor
ist, and a bootblack , stand.
"The second story is devoted en
tirely to retail shops such as worn
!' ; suits,, men's clothing, corsets,
millinery and like objects. .
'"The four floors above the shops
ure occupied by miscellaneous ten
ants, sitclr as physicians, chiroprac
tors, dentists predominating.
Reasons for Success.
''Several reasons for the abnormal
success of this building, seem to
stand out prominently: .
."A low building evidently pays
better than a tall building on a high
priced piece of ground.
"In this case, the tenants seem to
fit . the build'"" ' and, the .' location
.. rticularly well.
"This building must be skillfully
managed; this, is evidenced by the
fact that the compensation paid the
Tnanager amounts to more than the
total wages paid in the janitor de
partment. ; "We are informed that an expe
rienced building manager; was em
ployed to work with' the architect,
and that his, revices continued dur
ing the period of construction."

Christ's Life That of '
An Artist, Lecturer
Tells Fine Arts Body
Art in its highest forms of expres
sion was dwelt upon by John Han
sen Thompson Main, president of
Grinncl college, yesterday when he
spofre before members of the Fine
Arts society in the ballroom of the
Hotel Fontenelle.
"The epoch of the Christian era,
beginning with the year 1, as devoid
of art as it was, produced the most
artistic spirit the world has ever
seen," Mr. Main said. "The life of
Jesus Christ was that of an artist.
He expressed the beauty of truth, of
righteousness and of holiness.
"Art and civilization must grow
together. Art is the expression of
life. It is illustrated effectively in
that irrnnrl nai'iitintr 'The T.act Sun. ! usually take is not absorbed at all.
. . ' I If vou are not strong or well you owe
" u r, -i t- i i-r , it to yourself to make the following test:
.rresiueiu xicuiu s me nas coiue
down to us because he upheld prin
ciples of art, of sympathy and good
fellowship. . .
'TP we analyze the early type of
Greek buildings we find art in its
expression of life as the Greeks be
held it. In our modern day, I con
sider it almost criminal for a college
to,, place its students on a campus
or in buildings1 that are not beauti
ful in artistic structure.
