it is an accepted fact that the operation of
the game and fish and fur reserves of British
Columbia will be well looked after.

It is one of British Columbia’s most im-
portant heritages and deserves the care
which Mr. Butler, Mr. Cunningham and
their men are expending on it.

Credit, too, must be given to Honourable
R. L. Maitland, Attorney-General, for his
sympathetic understanding and encourage-
ment of all problems which arise in regard
to the maintenance of our game and fish
and natural resources.

AMERICA’S WAR HOUSE
AMERICA’S WAR Office is a mammoth,

pentagonal structure which lies across the
Potomac river from Washington—in Vir-
ginia. Its five sides and five storeys consti
tute the largest, by far, office building in the
whole wide world. It covers 140 acres. Its
cubic footage is 86,000,000. Its corridors
stretch for 16% miles. Its telephone switch-
board, manned by 300 operators, handles
125,000 calls a day. It has 200 rest rooms,
a 16-chair barber shop, 650 water fountains,
a cafeteria which serves 50,000 meals a day,
and office space for the working population
of a city of 100,000.

Americans, accustomed to things of a
startling size, were not prepared for any-
thing like the Pentagon. It strained their
story-making instincts, but not for long.
One of the first legends to circulate about
the Pentagon is also one of the best. It con-
cerns a messenger boy who entered the

building on Monday to deliver a telegram,
vanished, and could not be found until the
following Saturday, when he emerged a full
Colonel.

The Pentagon has been called “The city
under one roof” which, indeed, it is. It has
been called ‘‘Somervell’s Folly” — after
Major-General Brehon Somervell, who con-
ceived the idea for it. For a while it was
called ‘‘The Hell and Gone,” and once Presi-
dent Roosevelt referred to it as “The Penta-
teuchal.”

Seven hundred charwomen clean its of-
fices every day, and 500 guards are on duty
at its entrances and exits. It houses the Ad-
ministrative Staff of the U. S. Army, and
costs $8,000,000 a year for upkeep.

There is only one passenger lift in the
entire building, and only Secretary of War
Stimson is allowed to use it. The rest of the
“city’s” inhabitants ride up and down be-
tween the five floors on escalators. The
people that work there don’t have time to
call the building names. They simply refer
to it as “The Pentagon.”

McScram: “Ay, lassie, thot I wull. But

McScram: “Weel, weel. Ahm seeventy-
twa, and as Ah'll be seeing the Laird afore
