American Architecture

In spite of their tendency to discour-
are him. the exhibitions of the Archi-
,.ctural League will always set the cou-
posscur of the art of building upon
new explorations of that art as it is
rrsctised in America. The subject may
he kept we'll in the background of the
current show at the Fine Arts Build
iug. but it is not, after all; entirely un-
represented. One may see, il he is
wiling to take the trouble, something
i 81 what our architects have been doing.
/ In mere volume, of course, their work
has Of late been seriously reduced. 1t
is common gossip in the profession that
many of its members have had to dis
miss numbers of their craftsmen since
the war with Germany was declared.
Most commissions undertaken prior to
that event have been carried to compile
ton, but new work is rare. Clients
have other things to think about. Steel
las gone up in price and is difficult to
obtain in any case. All the materials
If building are higher in cost. 1t seems
probable, too. that the situation will
grow worse before it grows better.
Hard circumstance is giving the archi-
ects breathing space, which is per-
haps not bad stage of affairs at which
70 inquire into the present condition of
4 their art. We have an ineradicable
wcdlcction for considering them as
irtists. The league may fill it's gall
/ aries with the atmosphere of a manu-
facturers' bazaar, doubled with that of
! Greenwich Village ball, but lovers of
architecture are bound to go on looking
,for evidences of the only thing that
counts in any of the arts-creative per-
sonality.
At the same time it is important for
criticism to take account of certain ele-
ments which affect the development Of
architecture as they affect neither
painting nor sculpture. We must re-
member that originality in building is
dsNndent far more than in either of
tie sister arts upon predetermined
factors of style. The architect may
saoose from among several idioms, but
having made his choice he is compelled,
By the very nature of things, to play
The game. Where the painter, for ex-
ample, may range far and wide, the test
Of the architects inventive powers is
infinitely narrower and more severe.
Utility and the aesthetic decencies con-
spire together to keep him fairly close
7 TO tradition. Personality, in his case,
.>pust be very strong, very interesting,
II IL Is to come to the surface We are
unjust If VIC ask too much of it.
Take, for example, the matter of the
public building. He would be an alto
sether too exacting person who looked
ior notable originality in this field of
endeavor. The indispensable qualities
aefe are simplicity, dignity, good taste.
ana these, as it happens, arc precisely
shat one finds in the typical public
'allding at the league exhibition.
saere are several instances to be cited.

FAMINE IS RUssIEs PERIL
Isountry Is Hard Pressed to Provide
Staples Essential to the Main
tenance of Her Inhabitants.

Not Germany but famine is the
most desperate peril which Russia
faces now. Russia is hard pressed
to provide staples essential to the
maintenance of ler people, observes
correspondent. Great cities such
as Petrograd are short of provisions.
Bread is hard to obtain. Appeals
have been published to the citizens
of the capital explaining that the
grain-growing provinces refuse to
sell their wheat or -four and begging
the people to remember that any dis
orders will make it yet more difficult
to get food.
With such conditions existing
what will happen at the end of the
long, hard Russian winter? And if
actual starvation blights the chief
cities of Russia, then what can be
hoped for from the army and the
government?
In the largest sense, of course,
Russia will survive. To a certain
extent, that vast country may even
"come, e,hack;a before the end of the
war. But no help from Russia can
be counted on by the allies. They
may hope for some uncertain assist
snce, but their plans win necessarily
be made. without reckoning on Mus
covite cooperation at al.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inf1amed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result. Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
through the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for anv case of Catarrhal Deafness that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Med
icine. Circulars free. All druggists,
