CINCINNATI, April Iff.—Well for
.Tullus Caesar he was FJmperor of
Rome, and not of Cincinnati, else he
would have trouble In outfitting: his

But times have changed since Cae-
*arr*day. as was evidenced In a strike
of seventy-five men hired to play the
mob 1n William Fav^rsham's produc
tion of “Caesar."
"If we must show our knees to ur
own people, then we must have more
money than 1f we only showed our
neck and arms," wan the way one of
the centurions put It up to Ed Kelly,
stage manager.
Another undesirable feature was the
rule that required all Roman Senators
to wash their legs after each per
formance. This means elaht distinct
washings a week, there being that

One of the greatest problems of the
present time In tho South la the
question of new public buildings. At
lanta Is only one of the cities of the
South which has a crying need of
new buildings in which to house Its
municipal affairs.
Therefore, contractors who make a
business of constructing public build
ings, are watching closely New York
City's proposed $10,000,000 court
house. This building, which will
actually be two separate round build
ings, one within the other, Is said to
bo the last word In public buildings.
Tho outer building is modeled after
the Colosseum in Rome It will be
500 feet in diameter and five stories,
or a total of 200 feet in height.
275-Foot Pile Inside.
The inner building will be eight'
stories high, or a total of 275 feet.
The three upper Ptorles will bo re-
srrved < xcluslvely for the Justices of
the Supreme and City courts.
In addition to its resemblance to
the Colosseum from tho outside It
will contain a replica of the Pantheon
In Rome about tho central court or
main lobby, which rises to the height
of three stories. The Pantheon was
102 feet in diameter. The lobby will
be 115 feet in diameter.
The outer shell will be devoted en
tirely to court rooms. The first floor
will contain eleven City Court rooms
and one large auditorium or court
room to be used for special occasions.
The smallest of the City Court rooms
will be 4Sx46 feet. Others are 48x49
The other floors in the outer build
ing will l>« devoted to Supreme Court
rooms, of which there wiU be sixty-
two. Eight of these will be larger
than the other fifty-four. Each court
room will have a gallery for specta
tors.
Guy Lowell, whose plans were
chosen in a competition with twenty-
two leading architects, Is the first ar
chitect to design a round public build
ing In this country'. When asked how
he came to make this decision, he
said:
Got HI* Idea In Rome.
"I sot the Idea when I was In Rome
last year. _ I saw there a model of
the City of Rome as it existed 1,800
years ago. I found many round build
ings in the group, and was struck
by their beauty and the economy in
spare and cost of construction.”
There will be four main entrances
with eight Corinthian columns at
each, with space for eight statues of
the worlds great law givers, from
Moses down to the present day \bov
this the entire building is to’be sur
rounded by eighty Doric columns
each forty feet in height. The Corin
thian columns will bo fifty feet high
The ground floor will cover the ,>n-'
tiro site, and will contain 120,000
square feet of floor space. There will
be twenty-four public and eight pri
vate elevators leading from the
ground floor. There will also be
freight service and food elevators
Of course, New York's proposed
courthouse Is probably much larger
than any needed In Atlanta, but local
contractors who have studied the
plans of this building, declare that it
Is an ideal construction; and a con
struction of a similar one in Atlanta
would be a step forward along "The
City Beautiful” line.

Description.
The idea that bungalow construc
tion is confined to weatherboarding
and shingles is an erroneous one. The
photograph shows an effective design
with green tile roof and sand color con
crete block and stucco walls.
The entire front of the house Is prac
tically one room, the large opening
and columns being the only partition
between living and dining room. The
centrally located hall gives access to
all rooms. If six rooms were needed
it would cost only $50.00 to make three
rooms twelve by fifteen across the
front of the house.
The house as shown could be built
for $2,500, and if weatherboarding and
shingles were used, $300 to $500 would
be saved.
