Tho Parliament of ITS Is memorable
as that In which "the speaker's office
first emerged from the twilight which
surrounds Its origin Into the full light
of day." At the close of the session Sir
Thomas Hungerforc", specified In the
rolls as having "less paroles pour les
Communes d'Angleterre en Parliament,
made a daring speech to tho throne,
calling the attention of the King (Ed
ward in) to various grievances and al
leged Infringements of the liberties of
his subjects, both male and female. Sir
Thomas Hungerford was head of a pow,
erful Wiltshire, family. Like Lord Chaa
cer"s FranUeyn, "full oft tyme he was
a knight of tho Bchlre," for his career
at Westminster extended over thirty-sjj
years.
Sir James Pickering, head of a historic
Westmoreland family, became Speaker in

A City in Itself
'TEE SOUTHERN BUILDING
is the most popular and populous
office building in the National Capi
tal, and is generally regarded as the
finest office building in the South.
About 14,000 people pass through
its doors daily. From 9 a. m. to 6
p. m. the average of tenants and vis
itors is 1,600 per hour. The tenants
of the Southern Building represent
industrial and financial interests
whose combined resources aggregate
many millions of dollars. Located at
15th and H Streets (the new finan
cial center of Washington) the South
ern Building affords you unparalleled
advantages for the location of your
offices where you will be brought
into daily personal contact with the
maximum number of thrifty and suc
cessful citizens.
The space in the Southern Build
ing is 93 per cent rented. The few
remaining offices still subject to
lease are all desirable outside rooms
with spiendid light and ventilation.
The Renting Offices are located on
the second floor, and your applica
tion for a lease should be filed
promptly in order to receive favor
able consideration.
WILLIAM FRANK THYSON, Manager
Southern Building, 15th and H Sts. N. W.
The Southern Building at present has nine sto
ries. Being completed only fifteen months ago, it is
of strictly modern architecture and equipped with
every business facility, including four high-speed ele
vators which run at minute intervals. The original
plans of the architects (the well-known firm of D. H.
Burnham & Company, of Chicago) provided for the
construction of eleven stories instead of nine. The
Management contemplates the early erection of these
two additional stories in order to meet the demands
for space made by various clubs, social organizations,
and business corporations which cannot now be
accommodated.
