Perhaps in no walk in life does the
very patent and necessary element OF
uo-operation enter as deeply as it does
In the execution Of buildings. Il would
perhaps be tiresome to enter into all
the ramihcations and details that are
gone through in order to formulate
ideas, bring them into shape and put
them in such a graphic way on paper
that they can be readily understood by
the mechanic on the operation.
It is well for the layman, however,
to understand that all this work is
necessary for a satisfactory service to
the man spending the money. just in
proportion as the architect Is capable
Of grasping the ideas of his clients, ana
lying them, transferring them in turn
10 the builder and to his various sub
men, obtaining from each and every
man his just measure of effort, just
so far is the result a good or a poor ser
vice. IL is no mean task to go through
the academic solution Of problem and
to perform the very deeply business
ike transaction Of writing specifca-
tions and contracts; to hold the balance
Of justice between the client, the con-
tractor and the sub-contractors; to in
terpret their true meaning and inten-
tion with justice to both parties; and
through it all TO inspire a high artis-
tic purpose 80 that the result, no matter
how businesslike, may lose none of its
fine points from the aesthetic side.
There are two phases in building that
are sometimes confused in the mind of
the layman; they are the execution OF
the structural part Of the building (thc
housing, sheltering, stability, etc., and
the deeper and more subtle quality Of
logical arrangement, the more imagi-
native and complete analysis of the pos
abilities Of the proper placing of vari-
Gus units that go to make a first-class
building whether II is for domestic,
commercial or industrial use.
The building profession and its great
associate, architecture, are absolutely
and undeniably allied and co-operativei
and while many builders feel competent
to build without the guidance Of an ar
chitect, not many architects are willing,
nor consider il wise, TO build without
the cooperation OF builder. These two
professions follow distinct and positive
trends Of purpose, and while converging
20 the same ultni service TO the
owner, they must follow their proper
channels. One deals, when performing

and building. stair builders, for in
stance, who have spent the greater part
Of thoir lives in erecting stairwork'
must of necessity have accumulated in
formation and knowledge as to methods
which lead toward perfection. This IS
true in the tile settlers work, the plas-
terer's work, and the work of the heat
ing contractor and the plumber; what
ever they can add to the information
Of the architect and engineer simply
pushes the progress of building ahead
that much more rapidly.
Corporation is certainly the highest
plane of civilization and is worth striv-
ing for. 1t would perhaps startle a
great many people who are not familiar
Evening journal., 1914-07-01

the character Of the architect because
he finds friendship existing between the
architect and the builder, in fact the
best service that can be performed for
the client is that personal equation
which his architect may possess, which
brings men on the entire operation
closer together and creates more of a
personal interest in the minds of those
striving TO execute.
The constructive part Of a building
is usually the simplest, most direct, and
most readily determined portion of any
building because it is composed largely
Of scientific facts which have been used
over and over again and it needs only
the intelligent brain TO select and com
plete these structural qualities; but
the portion of building that is not ap-
preciated nor fully grasped by the
client before the building is begun is
the matter of the arrangement of the
units.
Evening journal., 1914-07-01

Everything depends on the proper aP-
praisement Of the facts in the case,
that is, the purposes to which, the build
ing is to be put as a whole and its
various departments which make it
practical; then in addition, all should
be housed in such a manner as TO give
to the mind the sense of stability,
worth and artistic merit. What this
artistic merit has to do with a build
ing, even the factory, is recognized by
many of the best economists and fac
tory constructors today, and even
though the building be solely utilitarian
there is no reason why it should not
be clothed in some chaste, simple man
ner without materially increasing the
expense. Who Is more qualified OF. fit
TO do this than the trained architect
and engineer; he spends most Of his
life in considering just such problems
and their various ramifcations; he also
considers it from the standpoint Of ar
chitecture. The builder on the other
hand can be OF the greatest assistance
Evening journal., 1914-07-01

its best function entirely with the
execution Of the work, the assembling
of materials, the construction Of labor
and effort to put these materials in
place, following the Predetermined
scheme Of the architect. The other,
when performing It's best function, deals
entirely with the imaginative construct
i've thought and arrangement, and the
carrying out Of the Predetermined
scheme in all It's detail. Many times the
architect feels like jumping in and ex-
ecuting the work himself in order TO
get IL as II should be, and the builder
doubtless returns the compliment by de-
string to jump in and settle the archi-
tect's affairs for him; but when these
two factors work together in harmony
for a complete whole, the client is best
served and gets far better building,
more for his money and a better in
vestment.
Tho layman should never stigmatize
Evening journal., 1914-07-01

TO the architect in lending his knowl-
edge of materials, the ease with which
they can be utiliz in building, and
simplifcations and methods which
might otherwise be a closed book to the
architect
It would seem that no builder is
really performing his best duty to him
self unless he finds himself in sym
patty, where possible, with the archi-
tect'a ideas, and that he realizes that
his best duty is performed to himself
only when he frankly co-operates in
bringing into being the IDEAS of tn,
designer. This idea Of cooperation

THE MONUMENT MAKERS

"HE monument makers of thu
/ country have been meeting a
/ Battle Creek the past week
They approved the latest de
signs in grave decorations, discussed
the death rate and the state of busi
ness and then became very much
peeved over the report of the secre
tary to the effect that those who sur
vive "the late lamented" in these de-
generate days display a painful pro
pensity for the purchase of motor cars
and mansions, to the exclusion of the
lovely granite markers that used to be
the family's tribute to "the departed
said markers and monuments in size
and degree of scroll work and orna-
mentation deciding largely the said
family's social and financial status in
their native town.
Now, however, the materially in
clned sons of wealth, not to mention
their sophisticated sires. according to
the monument makers, have ceased
to care hoot whether or not the FAM
lily plot is prominent in cemetery cir
cles, so long as the latest model six
is at the door of their newly built
mansion.
Some of us may not sympathize
much with the monument makers
save as we grieve to see any business
on the decline-for there has LONG
been a hazy suspicion in the minds
of many that 'twere better to spend
money on those who can enjoy it than
to burden a grave with a useless stone
that, in a large number of cases, is
but a memorial to family pride and
af1luence.
But above the burning question OF
whether it shall be motor cars or
tombstones arises another. How In
Sam Hill does it happen that monu-
ment makers select as a meeting place
a health resort like Battle Creek,
where the boast is that nobody ever
dies?

THE MUTTON SHORTAGE

TIE r B e r r SHORT, editor of
~ Farm and Fireside," predicts
l / mutton famine in the United
States in less tnan five years.
others have made the same predic-
ton, basing their estimates on the
fact that farmers will not care to raise
sheep with wool on the free list.
Short believes that he has a remedy.
Tax all the dogs so high that nobody
will keep them, he advises, and then
farmers will be encouraged to renew
tLe fiocks that have been in the past
the constant prey of dogs that have
been allowed to run at large.
We may have to part tearfully with
our lamb chops and the mutton we
eat disguised as roast spring lamb
with mint sauce" may retire to the
class of luxuries, along with terrapin
and lobster, but even so let us not
tax poor Faithful Fido out of exist
ence. We would rather hobnob with
the mangiest pup that ever ranged the
gutter for his dinner than be seen in
company with the fieeciest little lamb
that Mary ever had. There are thou
sands of dogs in this State that
wouldn't touch sheep If they were
starving and hundreds of others that
bring the flock home every night.
Pish on such foolishness. Likewise.

FOLLOWING OUR EXAMPLE

From the Pittsburgh Dispatchl
Bills are being prepared in both
New York and New Jersey for pre-
sentation to the Legislatures for the
establishment in each State of a State
police force modelled upon that which
has been so successful in Pennsylva-
MIA The unprotected condition of the
rural districts in both States and the
increase in the number of crimes in
isolated sections has provoked a pop
ular demand for the extension of the
protection of life and property en-
Joyed by the urban communities but
heretofore practically denied to the
rural population.
Misrepresentation of the purpose of
the force responsible for what oppo-
sition has been cultivated must be set
right by the report of the work of the
Pennsylvania force for the past year.
Not one arrest was made in that pc
riod for rioting. On the other hand
forty arrests were made for murder
AS Major Groome pertinently says the
measure of efficiency Is not the ag-
gregate of arrests but the proportion
of convictions, and 90 per cent of
the arrests made in 1913 were fol-
lowed by conviction. That is an indi-
cation of the intelligence which, cou-
pied with energy, has made the Penn
syivania State police so effective in
protecting the public and in running
down offenders.
That New York and New Jersey
should now be about to follow Penn
sylvania's example, Ohio has similarly
been giving it consideration, shows
how it has been viewed outside. Ul-
timately there Is no doubt that some
such protective force will be estab-
lished in every State because the coun-
try districts will demand with justice
that they be given proportionately the
security of life and property assured
to the urban residents.
