MILLER LIBERTYVILLE LIBERTYVILLE 57--6tpd 41--tf 58tf SEE WEAK POINTS IN ARCHITECTURE American Public Pays Little Attention to Art in Build-- ing, Say Experts. Washington.--Weak points in na-- tonal architecture were a subject of prolonged discussion at the architects' convention held in this city,. The ar guthents were picturesque, but did not start any public debate whatever on the question of the builder's art. This is said to be rather strange, in asmuch as the educated American likes to be on friend!ly terms with the arts. He has his own ideas about painting, literature and music. At the worst he knows what be likes, and at the best he has some technical knowl-- edge and an innate lfldtl::fin which enable him to appreciate values. But he treats architecture like the proverbial red--headed stepchild. The poorest sort of oill painting is viewed as a work of art, but a build-- ing, unless it be a cathedral or a pal-- ace, is catalogued in the public mind only as a useful article, _ In recent years architects have be-- gun to urge that the public take an interest in their aims and achieve-- ments,. -- They point out that so long as men live in houses architecture will play a more intimate part in their lives than any other art., The trou-- ble is that until the public begins to regard its building as art it will learn very little about the technic of archi-- tecture; and yet until it knows some-- thing about the technical values it is not likely to take much interest in the artistic side f?f construction and de-- signs. And there we have another of those vicious circles. Roughly, a building can be judged by the educated layman according to common--sense -- standards: of beauty, usefulness and appropriateness. -- A railway station that resembles a Gothic cauthedral may be an efficient train-- shed, it may be attractive, but most architects would feel that the combina-- tion of ideas involved s incongruous. There is no reason why Gothic style should be reserved for churches and college buildings, but because of the association of the Gothic with the beautiful old English cathedrals a bustling, noisy station is probably not the best sort of building for Gothic design. j Art vs. Usefuiness. Another example of unfitness is the building that is so rigidly artistic that it fails to be practical, The rooms, it may be, are drafty and badly lighted. The interior is poorly arranged for ef-- ficilency,. Convenience has been sacri-- ficed to effect, and the result cannot be termed fine architecture in the broad-- est Sense. ' With these ideas in mind, it is inter-- esting to note a few of the high spots logchggi&y 'the architects in their dis-- cussion of precedent. This is the sub-- ject which apparently worries the mod-- ern designer more than any other. Painters have their isipressionist and eubist schools.. Writers develop new and strange literary forms. . But archi-- tecture clings to the classlie models, In fact, it clings so faithfully that the question was raised at the convention as to whether or not many of our fa-- mous buildings are not frank plaglar-- ism.. What would we think of the art-- ist who painted "Mona Lisa" for a mil-- lionaire, only changing it a bit to ft a given space in a library, or perhaps adding. a note of red to tone in with the wall paper? But we think nothing of It if a new public building is a more or'less faithful reproduction of the Parthenon or of some famous Euro-- pean palace. Defense of the practice of imitation rests mainly on the argument that there is no American style of architec-- ture and America can do no better than to adapt forms that are obviously beautiful and inspiring. No architect believes in ignoring the fine work that has been done by the old masters. 'The most unconventional designers agree that they must draw. on the ideas and technic of the great original designers of history. _ Their point is that in the Golden ages of cre-- ative art designers managed to evolve buildings that expressed the spirit of the people and the times. The Italian renaissance artists did not feel that the Greeks and Egyptians had thought out all the possible variations of con-- struction and that a sensible man could do no better than stick to their models, Nor did those medieval builders shud-- der at the sight of structures that could not be labeled Greek, Roman or generally classic. buildings could learn some things W. R. B. Wilcox, an Oregon archi-- tect, reminded the convention that present--day buildings have not a great deal in common with ancient shelters : "Ancient races," he said, "did not have our schools, Hbraries, hospitals, banks, factories, nor our commercial baild from the automobile industry. Maker; of automobiles have not gone to the old civilisations for quaint and beautt m..'wmdnfldu He went on to dencribe an imaginars What the builders of American cities are criticized for is that they have so far done their best work in foreign styles, and that they have not succeed-- ed in using those styles to evolve any-- thing typlcally American for our typic ally American and Twentieth century structures. about eathetic expression of Americs THE LAKE COUNTY REGISTER, vigsit to an automobile plant such as we might bave today if automobile de-- signers had followed the methods ef architects : "On exhjbition were a number of ve-- hicles of historic design. They were advertised as the last word Th auto ::flc' Among them were vehicles looked for all the world like old Roman and Etruscan wagons, Italian barouches, German state carriages, French lmndavs, English coaches, Irish jaunting cars--al}l sorts. "A salesman was explaining the dit-- Reuities met with in adapting a splen-- did reproduction of a Greek charlot to the mpecessities of an automobile; how concealment of the motor and provi-- slon of an invisible third wheel to take the weight bore by the tongue and horses in the ocriginal were strokes of genius. To objection of a possible customer that as Arrangement which required one to stand while~"driving was uncomfortable the salesman re plied that, although a seat would be a convenience, integrity of design pro-- scribed its use--that a reputation for scholarly design was of too great value to be jeopardized by violated prece dent." a The architecs were more or less agreed that there is little prospect that a great American style in architecture will be deyeloped in the immediate fu-- ture. 'The builder's art at its best is more expressive of a community and an era than of the individual builder's personality. : At present there is not enough unity in American traditions for any architec to express America in stone as the Athenian could express Greece, Each mcial ingredient in the melting pot diffeers and each section of the country with itg individual history The situation. however, is far from hopeless, all designers believe. Ralph Adams Cram told his fellow architects at the convention that in many Ameri-- ean homes, colleees and churches prec-- edent and traditon have been used as bases for real creative expression. Berkeley, Cal--The best training for matrimony a girl can get is by procuring employment for a while, in the opinion of Miss Cleo Murtland, as sociate professor of yocational educa-- tion at the University of California. Wage--Earning Urged © on Would--Be Bride: "As an apprenticeship for mar riage," said Miss Murtland, "wage earning is an essential feature. Eco nomic freedom of women is a deter mining factor in the length of .. the pre--marriage period, in the stability of the home and in its maintenance; The selt--respect of a woman, as well as her position in the Tamily, is deter mined in part by her ability to be economically independent. More and more the daughter, as well as the son, seeks empleyment as soon as schoo! days are over." 2 "In spite of pagiarism--or because of it," hesaid, "we all know perfectly well that there is more really good ar-- chitecture being produced in America today than ever before, and far bet-- ter than that of any other country in the world for the last 300 years." and its individual natural conditions presents a different background for thé designer to study. ce Miss Murtland classified as the three distinct phases in a woman's de velopment the time preceding -- mar-- riage, the time of family responsibili: ties, gnd the time of middle age when she is released from these responsibili-- She explained her views at a recent conference of educators. It was the conclusion of the conference that a girl should 'be educated both as a homemaker and as--a potential wage earner. Declares Education Is j Best Cure for Insanity London--Despite the fact that in Great Bftain there is today one in-- saune' person in every 200, contrasted with one in every 650 in 1870, there is no justification for the theory, so often expressed that a process of racial de-- generation is under way, in the opin-- lon of E. J. Lidbetter of the Eugenics Educatiot society, expressed at the re-- cent conference of the National Union of the Professional and Industrial Blind of Great Britain. Despite the increase in the number of insane, Mr. Lidbetter said, nature herself was constantly striving to re gain the normal average, even in the highly organized and complex com-- munities ef the present day. Those of weak mentality, he said, attracted each other, and eventually brought about their own extinction in this way. _ Mr. Lidbetter advocated education as the best prevention of insanity.

Both discoveries were accidental. The first was made by a farmer near BStrassburg, Va., while plowing a Reld near Shady creek. He uncov-- ered seven skeletons. At first he did not attach especial significance to this, because the field was near the battle ground of Cedar creek, in the Qivil war, and it was assumed that the skeletons were those of slain soldiers. A'famous Indian battle, however, was fought on nearly the same site, and further investigations showed that the bodies had been Bburied with ceremonies typical of the early Indian tribes. POWHATAN'S SKELETONS ---- UNCOVERED, IS BELIEF 8mithsonian Ini#itution to Investigate Recent Discoveries That Promise to Be important. Each body had been drawn up in a cramped position and thrust into the grave. Beside each skull was a jar, elaborately decorated with primeval religious symbols,; which once had been filled with food to sustain the ghost in his cold passage between two worlds. The second find was much larger and will be investigated first. The recent flood waters of the Shenan doah unearthed what.is believed to have been an old Indian cemetery. The center grave, around which the others seemed: to be grouped, con-- tained one skeleton measuring seven and a half feet. Danzig.--English dancing girls, who disappeared from the stages of conti-- nental Europe in August, 1914, have begun to return to their former fields of activity and have even invaded Rus slia, where they were always popular prior to the war. _.Throughout Europe before the war, wherever there were variety theaters or music halls, there were English dancing girls, known for their spright-- ly dancing, combined with singing stunts. -- Even in old 8t Petersburg and--Moscow, the home of the Russian ballet, the dancing girls from London were always well received. # Europe Again Interested In London Dancing Girls no English performers since the sovi-- ets came into power. Later the dane-- ers will visit Warsaw, Bucharest, Budapest, Vienna and numerous other cities. _ Several other troupes . from London also took the road this spring and have been appearing in Rotter-- dam, Stockholim, Copenhagen, Berlin and other northern cities. Are Taboo in Germany Berlin.--Fashion's _decree for Ger-- man men this summer condemns the smooth--shaven face so much in vogue since the war, when the upturned kaiser mustaches went out. Now the Berliner of mode must wear the little military toothbrush bunch of hair on his upper lip, and also abandon the monocle. With the single eyeglass the horn--rimmed spectacle is banned, and gentliemen are supposed to wear the conventional and unob-- trusive gold or rimless glasses. Shaves and Monocles Ther also are warned to wear four in--band ties fully exposed and not to tuck them in between the second and third shirt buttons as of old. The col-- ored silk handkerchief is taboo and white linen is required. But with these conformities to the conservative fash-- fons of the West comes a vogue among the ultra set for high--heeled shoes of the old Cuban style. German Seeress Predicts Death of Industrialist Munich.--Elsbeth Ebertin claims to know what is destined to happen in Germany in 1924--1927. Her prediction for this spring, made in February, in cluded failure of banks, and death of geveral "very rich personalities be longing to the finencial world," and the' revelation of fraud on a large scale. The deaths of Stinnes and Helffer ich and the failure of the Neutville bank are pointed to by Frau Ebertin's friends as evidence of her ability to foresee the future. % Grapefruit Full of Bills East Rochester, N.
