"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.

Dog, Locked In, Gets ‘Help by Telephone Centra! Calls Police When She Hears Yowls and Cries Com ing Over Instrument. 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.

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.
