To make such monuments for the dead, hundreds of thousand of slaves dragged blocks many miles from the miountains across the Nile. To make one of the pyramids, slaves toiled for twenty years. Remains of Egyptian temples showed that they were built on an elaborate days when man followed the desire to raise a structure to protect himself from the elements.

En the fifteenth century the style improved, heavy walls and small windows were elminated and the tondâ€" ency was to build with slender, tapering. soaring lines with great height of cellings and roofs. That tendency culâ€" mirated in the great cathedrals of the turrets. was followed by Gothic or pointed arch.

Because industrial inspection tours would be hampered by winter weather. The Duke‘s American tour, it was pointed out by his Rritish friends, will be absolutely "unsponsored," in view of the reper:ussions that followed his selection of Charles E.

Theâ€"Duke‘s decision to call off his scheduled study of industrial and workâ€" ing class conditions in the United States was reached after two days of consultation with American and British advisers. It will be officially announced within two weeks. The reasons for the decision were twofold : Despatches yesterday from Paris, France, say that the Duke and Duchess cf Windsor, enthusiastically preparing to sail f3r New York immediately afâ€" ter Christmas, have abandoned all inâ€" tentions of studying American indusâ€" trial and housing conditions, English friends of the Duke said.

In school buildings especially. care should be taken as it was in them developed ‘he future men and women. They shculd be comfortable, sanitary, well lighted and heated and attractive as well. Churches were still true to traditionâ€" al style, perhaps more so than any cther large class of building.

Mr. O‘Gorman reâ€" gretted the fact that more and mpore were turning to apartments. A people who did that would rapidly lose inâ€" divinduality. Mr. O'G-grman trazked the developâ€" ment of architecture along the shores | of ‘the Mediterranear, where buildings were constructed of easily procured steone and marble with high ceilings, Emall windows and thick walls to counteract the excessive heat. English hcuses, on the contrary developed to the where there were many windows and little or no cornice, to get as much sun as was possible. Modernr buildings were classified as ccmmercial, church, public and home. Guiding factors in the erection of comâ€" mercial buildings were efficienity and lcw maintainance cost.

His youth was spent in poverty and privation, and he had to leave school at the age of twelve to help the family income. Hard work and application, with spare time study, gave lhim an education and his talents won him the highest place in the councils of the Empire. A pacifist at the opening of the World War, he lost friends by his attitude, and in more recent years agair lost friends because he realized that the idea of peace being bought by disarmament was a dangerâ€" ous dream.

Mr. MacDonald became the Urited Kingdom‘s first Labour Prime Minister in January, 1924, his government lastâ€" ing until November of that year. Mr. MacDonald was 71. He retired as Prime Minister June 7, 1935, and was succeeded by Stanley Baldwin, now Earl Baldwin of Bewdley.
