It, exactly. The has broken ground for a state house, guaranteed to be different from any of the forty-sevevarieties In the United States of America. Along In 1925, If all goes well, the Lincoln-boun- d easterner, while still far out on the plains, will be surprised into saying to the nearest without an introduction: "Will yon kindly tell me what Is that enormous tower on the western horizon V l "Thats the upper stories of the new Nebraska will be the answer. Capitol "Bow odd I It looms up like the Washington monument" "Sure. Why not? Thats what Its for." t And that la exactly the purpose of this enormous tower. ! "The object of the architect In making this feature," says the officially Inspired description, i"was to furnish the comparatively flat state of (Nebraska with an elevated building which could iba at once an object of beauty and a source of Inspiration. This tower, surmounted by a colossal figure called 'The Sower,' will be seen, it Is estimated, from 80 to 40 miles from every direction." This capltol marks the greatest departure ever mado in American state-hous- e architecture. Nevertheless, Nebraska went about it with deliberation. The plan was secured through a series of compositions given under the auspices of the 'American Institute of Architects. Three Nebraska men were selected in a preliminary competition In which the economic and political aspects of the problem were considered as well as the architectural requirements. Seven flftns of national reputation outside of Nebraska joined In the competition, which resulted In June, 1920, In the selection of Bertram G. Goodhue of New York as the architect of the commission. For a year after the adoption of the plan It was studied and restudied, not ohly by the architect and his staff, but by the commission and by the public. Some changes have been made, but the essence of the original design remains, promising a public building of unusual strength and beauty as well as economy of space and low operating posts, according to the Nebraskan view. The appearance of the United States capltol at Washington Is familiar to most Americans. Also it has doubtless served as a model for most American state houses. A comparison between the United States capltol and the Nebraska capltol will emphasize the extent of the latter from the conventional and also give an idea of the size . of the new structure. , The United States capltol is about 750 feet long and the dome Is 135 feet In diameter; the jbulldlng, therefore, covers about four acres. The dome is 285 feet in height, from the base to the crest of the statue of Freedom. The cost was about $16,000,000. The Nebraska capltol Is approximately 440 feet Square ; It, therefore, covers almost four acres. The cost is to be $5,000,000. It will have a basement below the grade, a first floor forming a terrace entirely around the building, and a main floor bringing the parapet to a height of 51 feet from the ground level. The chief feature of the structure Is a tower rising from the center to a height of 400 feet, This tower, surmounted by a colossal figure called "The Sower," will be 80 feet square at the base and will taper only slightly as It rises. It Is a square, severe shaft, pierced ou each of Its four sides by long continuous windows and terminating In a graceful dome of colored or gilt tile. But while this architectural feature will distinguish the building and make it different from all other state capltols, It Is also utilitarian to the ivery top. The lower portion of the tower will contain the main rotunda. Above this It will carry a dozen floors of offices, housing many of n .

NThata fellow-passeng- g$LU- aSNEE There Is no reason so far ns finances are conwhy Nebraska should not have a $5,000,-00- 0 capltol, If it wants one. The state has a population of almost 1,300,000. Ten years ago Its, er capita wealth was $3,110, while the average for the United States is $1,965. The state debt Is $209,834, which la but 16 cents per capita ; only New Jersey has a smaller state aud par capita debt The placing of The Sower" on top of the great tower is strikingly appropriate. Nebraska Is essentially ah agricultural state. It has but five cities of 10,000 population: Omaha, 191,601; Lincoln, 54.948; Grand Island, 13,947; Hastings, 11,647 ; North Platte, 10,466. Its farm property Is valued at $4,193,825,242. Its farm lancl acreage Is 42,338,836. The average farm value Is $29,927. Its farmers annually grow over 250,000,000 bushels of corn, 60,000,006 bushels of wheat and 80,000.000 bushels of oats. In 1920 the value of Nebraskas crops was $306,469,000 and the agricultural rank of the state was thirteenth. ' Lincoln was originally called Lancaster. This city was laid out In 1864, with a population of Just about a dozen. In 1867, when Nebraska was admitted to the Union, there was a population of less than 30. Nevertheless, Lancaster was made the capltol of the state and Its name was changed to Llncolh; in honor of the martyred President, then two years dead. Lincoln is a good site for a tower with the purpose of making people look up, since the place Is almost level. There Is a story about a man who bought a $2,000 piano and had to rebuild and refurnish his house to correspond. Probably n will spruce up a bit in honor of the new capital, but the city Is already attractive, with fine wide avenues and many noteworthy buildings. It is the Beat of the University of Nebraska and State Agricultural college and several other educational Institutions. Among the prominent buildings are the federal building, courthouse, city hall, penitentiary, Insane asylum, St. Elizabeths hospital and the Carnegie library. The city is in about the center of the eastern third of the state. It lies southwest of Omaha and is just far enough away so- that Its tower cannot be seen. . Lincoln's new capltol building will be the third to stand on the same site. The first structure naturally was not very pretentious. But the see-onhas done Its duty nobly, being a structure of white limestone erected at a cost of $500,000. Nebraska has an Interesting history, which would surprise those who huve been brought up to bellevd there Is no such thing as history west of the Alleghenies or possibly the Mississippi. The first white man to see It was probably Coronado in 1541, some time before Plymouth Rock became so well known. The Choteaus of St. got up to the Louis, famous early forks of the Platte In 1762. The first known, settlement was In 1805 at Bellevue by Manuel Lisa fnnie. The AmerlennFur company of established posts at Omaha and Nebraska City about 1825. The Mormons wintered In Nebraska. 1845-4Thousands of passed through, beginning with 1849. These were also the days of the Oregon trail and its famous migration. Nebraska In these early times was rich lu the romance of American pioneer history. Nebraska's early political career was checkered. The territory now constituting the state was originally a part of the Louisiana Purchase (1804) and afterward a part of Missouri territory. For a generation after the admission of Missouri (1821) the territory was practically without govemment. In 1853, unable to get congressional sanction as a territory, the inhabitants organized a provisional government and elected William Walker governor. After several attempts to be admitted as a state, Nebraska finally got In over President Johnsons cerned er the state departments and providing room for an Indefinite expansion of the storage space for the state library. At the top, underneath the. dome, will be located the war trophy room. This will be a magnificent apartment with space to store in permanent safety the battle flags and other relics of Civil war, the Spanish and Philippine wars and the World war. The tower which brings in a strictly utilitarian feature to take the place of the ornamental but economically useless dome Is the most striking feature of the plan, but la by no means' Its only excellence. The basement and first floor will house the service features and many of the state The chambers which distinguish departments. such a building will be found on the main floor. Entering from the north by a broad flight of stairs, the visitor finds himself in the hall of state, a vaulted apartment approximately 50 feet high, and containing niches for statues and spaces for Inscriptions aacl several paintings. At the left will be a series of rooms for the governor. Passing directly to the center of the building and standing In the rotunda, the visitor will have at his right a beautifully designed senate chamber and at his left a somewhat larger apartment for the house of representatives. In front he will see the doors leading to the supreme court rooms with the state library immediately above. Four courts opening to the sky admit light and air to the interior. The arrangement Is such that every office In the structure opens either upon the outside or upon one of these courts. The library and the chambers of legislation are lighted by clear-sk- y windows. Even the rotunda, which in practically all capltols must be illuminated artificially, receives direct light from windows cut into the tower as It emerges from the roof. The marvel of the design is that it covers so much ground, and has so large a capacity without requiring artificial lighting In any department The style of architecture employed Is simple and dignified. Nothing Is employed. In fact but well established forms. Simplicity Is the keynote. The material is to be of stone of a rather light buff tone. The tower will be of steel construction with wind braces to give it security. , The building will he enriched by sculpture, paintings and vaulting of colored and gilt tile. The figures oyer the main entrance, representing wisdom, justice, power and mercy, have already been modeled by Lee Lawrle, .to whose hands has been entrusted all the sculpture for the completed building. Inscriptions drawn from the great storehouse of the worlds wisdom will be carved on the walls. Space will be left for mural paintings, but these will not be included In the present work of the commission. Nebraska has appropriated $5,000,000 for the erection of its new qapitol, without furnishing. of the money has been colMore than one-halected. A levy has been made for a considerable portion of the remainder. Contracts will be let during the summer In lime to insure the completion of the building before the close of 1925. lf Lin-coi- - d s, fur-tradi- gold-seeke- veto In 1867. ' v Dear Helen Brooks : 1 will thank Pu verjj much if you can help me. My face always had a few blackheads, but now I find it covered with tarr blotches. I also have an itching scalp. Thank Vou- "B, Coalville. Brown spots on the face are caused by, many different things and you told me really nothing about them; therefore, I am afraid I cannot help much. They might be liver spots, caused by a torpid liver; or there may be something else wrong with your health. Not knowing what it is. I can only advise you to see your physician and have him tell you what is causing these spots in your case, and then we will have something to go on. Possibly a good freckle remover might help. If you cannot get anything of the kind there, write me. and I will tell you where you may obtain it. If the itching scalp, is caused by dandruff, there are a number of rem edies for this. Try shampooing your hair good with Physicians and Surgeons Soap, massaging the scalp thoroughly with the tips of die fingers, and pulling a small strand at a time until you have been all over the head. This brings the blood to the surface and stimulates the circulation, and if you will do this every night before retiring, I think you will soon see a general improvement in the hair and scalp.
