SUPREME COURT BUILDING WILL COST 59,740,000 Congress Will Be Asked to Expedite Work on Structure. BY HERBERT LITTLE I'nittd Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—One of the first items of business to be placed before the regular session of congress opening Dec. 2, is a project to start work on the supreme court building, planned as one of the most monumental and beautiful government structures in the world. Chairman Keyes of the public buildings committee expects that this work can be started in the spring, now that the property on the two-block site facing the Capitol has been obtained by purchase and condemnation at a cost of nearly $2,000,000. Private buildings on the ait* must be razed. Cost to Be Heavy The first appropriation may be a small one, but the entire great stone building will cost $9,740,000, under the congressional authorization which may be increased later. Plans, prepared by Cass Gilbert, architect, reveal the building as a massive, Corinthian structure, in harmony architecturally with the Capitol. The exterior design is of the classic type, and embodies carefully studied proportions and simple masses. The building will have a maximum height of four stories, and the supreme courtroom w'ill be placed In the middle of the rectangular structure. Rooms for the justices, court officials and lawyers, are to be grouped around four great courtyards within the structure. Huge Law Libraries The second and third floors will contain huge law libraries, a total of 526,760 volumes being provided for in the plans. “It is not intended to finish the Interior of the building with elaborate and expensive marble work and excessive decoration,’’ Architect Gilbert said in submitting the plan which was accepted, said a recent announcement, “but to rely rather upon fine proportions with a sparing use of appropriate decoration for the monumental effect which is desired." The building will be strictly fireproof, and acoustics “must be as perfect as modern science can make them," Gilbert said. Museum for Children 11 v I hill 1 1 I'r xs NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 22.

The Twenty-rhird Psalm THE Lord Is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down In green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea. though 1 walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me: rod and Thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cut runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I shad dwel in the house of the Lord for ever. (Compiled bu the Bible Guild) Next: Mrs. John F.
