...President Hoover last week approved installation in his executive offices, now being rebuilt after the fire, of an air-filtering and cooling system similar to those in the House and Senate chambers. In torrid weather all windows will be kept closed while machinery in the basement supplies air cooled by the equivalent of 30 tons of melting ice per day.

But at the first suggestion to destroy these relics of a barbarian...
