This was the basis of the -experiment, and now it is up to our firm to prove conclusively that the only solution of the modern housing problem| is through func- tional modern' architecture," The project, 'which is under the leadership of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard K. Elmhirst. will be tonstructed on the estate of Lord Churston, whose seat is at Brixton, Devon, and not far from the Dartington Hall School, at- Dartington, which Mrs. Elmhirst sponsored seven years ago, Mrs, Elmhirst, formerly Mrs, Doro- thy .

On the landward side of the park will be a main road, lined with the few stores, the bank and whatever 'other buildings the community will require.

His plan is to let each become a part of the scene, fitting naturally into the landscape, and keeping the plan so flexible that every bit of sunlight, natural beauty, alr and comfort will be included in the finished product. The general plans call for a gar- age, living and dining rooms, a Kkit- chon and a lavatory on the first floor of the house, In the surrounding property will be a shed of some sort, for the English, he says, are partlal to sheds for storage, "That's another thing we're going to do," he explained, "Work the peo- ple into the scheme gradually, For instance, on the first houses to be constructed, within a few days now, we will use the regular type of wna! tn England is called 'cavity construc- tion'--brick, alr space, brick, alr space, and the whole thing covered with stucco. This will make the transition to the new style easier for them. We're including fire places in all the houses, too, because of the English penchant for them, "And let us lope that this develop- ment will make the United States more consclous of doing something in the way of a constructive housing: plan for people with small incomes. Fifteen European nations have spent $10,000,000,000 in fifteen years for 4,600,000 dwellings, and have done in this country precisely nothing" The second floors of the houses, generally, Mr. Lescaze continued, will] have two, three or four bed- rooms, with baths, depending on the size of the house. Then above this will be * the penthouse, the great adoption of the modernists, with the gurrounding roof forming a deck for games, sun baths or rest, and taking the place of the old-fashioned porch, "If we were to propose a question programs td hold performances in| naire," Mr, Lescaze sald, "asking peo- about 130 different places, 4 ple it they believed in health, cleanli- Sarort S e : ness, comfort, economy, and so ferth, Canadian Beaver Thriving Under Protection of the Law Ottawa.--That extraordinary aquatic animal, the beaver, which has a place on the Canadian coat of arms, is in- ereasng rapidly under the protection of the law in Northern Ontario.

Dr, Janet Rankin Aiken of Columbia University would have English gram- mar simplified, The English langu- age is simple in the extreme, because of its almost complete freedom from the inflexions which go trouble the student of Latin and Greek. A for- eigner can make himself understood in English by learning the meanings of two or three hundred words. He does not need to know anything about cases or moods. If he says "I done it" or "you was" he offends against precision or elegance, but everybody understands what he means, 'The New York Times, discussing the sub- ject, quotes two lines from Dryden in which a gple of grammar is traus- gressed: ~ Who climbs [the grammar tree dis- tinctly/ knows Where no and verb and participle Brows, Dryden used the singular for the plural for a whimsical purpose, Shake- speare wrote: _ Full fathom five 'thy father lies, "Ot his bones are coral' made. ~ He was aiming at euphony, "bones are" sounding much better than "bones 8." He made the verb dis- agree with its subject "coral," but he also made the sound more agreeable to the ear. + The construction of the English possible that the teaching of English grammar might be simplified.

From 1893 until 1913, he says, China's lead- ers realized the nation's defects and gought to remake the country from within = by first recognizing China's faults, but now the universal tendency is to blame "imperialism, capitalism or some other ism" for everything. This, Dr. Hu warns, will lead to na- tional extindtion, Dr, Hu Shih has carefully abstain- ed from taking an active part in Chinese politics, but his influence is 80 great that various political and military leaders continuously seek his advice--though' it must be admitted that few of them ever follow it. pry .

In addition the export of pears and.plums has increased from practically * nothing to over- 100,000 packages. Mr. Fulton states that this incréase in volume has undoubtedly beeri brought about through the co- operation of the Fruit Growers' As- sociation, and the Ontarlo Government in establishing central packing houses and cold storage plants, thus providing the necessary facilities for standardiz- in the pack under recognized brands, 'He says the British {rade appreciate Ontario's, efforts -to maintain high quality brands, as-the prices realized throughout the season compare more than favorably with brands from other sources, This tremendous increase in exports of apples in the face of declin- ing export volumes for almost every other product is effective proof of what can be done by organized mar- keting efforts applied to farm products,' Last season's lower returns to the growers was due almost enfirely to - the unfavorable exchange situation - and. the general lowering © of values - rather than to any fault in the market- ing system.
