THAT IRON COUNTRY STRIKE.

might be a few rabid socialists at Ne

AMERICAN VILLAGES.
Here Is Writer Who Claims They

No diStinctively American style has

through degrees of beauty. but through
degrees of hideousneSs. The more il
is plastered with ornament the more
vulgar and forbidding il becomes. The
more il is adorned with color the more
that color becomes Il madness. Il de

the chaotic ugliness Of the htting

careleSsness, ignorance. squalor, bad
taste and downright viciousnesS
But make the same sort of journey

Lyons-Or through Austria or Italy or
Switzerland. and you will he charmed

all sides. the subordination OF details
To general effects, the instructive feel

constant presence of II tradition and
