badly needed. The profession can
| however, take comfort in realizing

| greatly strengthened its position,
| which will undoubtedly be borne
out by future events.
! The architect must exercise as
well, however, a positive function,
/ if it is unsellsh service for him to
advise against building. it is OF
equal service to anticipate future
! conditions as far as present facts
| permit so that he may advise when
the time for building will be favor
able. Apropos of this thought the
question now arises-lf II is not the
/ time to build is it the time to get
ready?
The material market has already
shown substantial reductions in
price and some authorities are
agreed that minimum prices have
been reached. other commodities
may continue to show price reduc-
tions, but conditions that govern
them and the building materials are
not analogous. Excepting, perhaps,
in few lines are there any large
stocks of building materials on
hand, and the danger is that the
manufacturers will close their
plants before reducing further.
Labor Speeding Up.
1t looks as though when building
ACTIVITY resumes the output will not
be keeSing pace with the demand,
and that construction work outside
of the building industry, such as
road work and railroad improve
ments, will utilize the greater por-
ton of available building mate
rials. -
The slowing up of building con-
structtDn has had its effect upon
labOr-inasmuch as the man who
still has job realizes that by speed
ing up is the only way to hold 1t.
II this becomes a habit 1t will have
a material effect upon the cost of
future building construction-and
be one of the means of eliminating
some of the improbable labor and
service that is now saddled on the
building industry. Every indication
points to the present as the time to
prepare for future building con-
struction.
The wise man will take up the
matter of building with his archi-
tect at-once and have his plans pre-
pared and be ready. When the op-
perfume time comes to send them to
the general contractors for estt-
mates. 1t is true we are now wit
Messing a falling market, but no
| one can tell just how long this con-
dition will continue. 1t is not hard
; to guess that the first sign of busi-
ness will put on the brakes. Con-
tinued business will again send
prices higher.
Prepare Plans Now.
Unlike other purchasing you can
not go out. in the market and buy
your materials for a new building
whenever the spirit moves you. 1t
is first necessary to know eractly
what is needed, which can only be
determined by first designing the
building. AS this course of pro-
cedure takes time, the Importance
of having your plans prepared now
is readily seen and will result NOT.

has to be.

A LAST ILLUSION GONE.

The Dutch government is after former
Emperor William of Germany for back
taxes-a matter of 5000 marks-and it
means to collect. Wilhelm does not mean
to pay. He has called in his lawyers as
Il preliminary. but this makes no differ
ence to anyone but the lawyers, the Kai-
ser himself, and the Dutch government.
The real damage is done.
For generation William of Hohenzol-
Tern labored assiduously and with very
fair success to build up a reputation as
a superman. Germany believed in his
near divinity, or at least acquiesced in it.
Europe feared him and. though we Amer
leans laughed more or less. a lot of us
took the An-Highest seriously. Now we
all know he's just an everyday sort of
person. lodging taxes like other people.
In his day the Kaiser has committed
some extraordinary crimes. crimes which
the ordinary man would scarcely dream

commonplace, by no means the deed for

one could have expected, a downfall

feet of clay. 1t is too bad. History is
thus robbed of a figure which might have
been great How can historians in the

A MODERN CHURCH.

Chicago claims the first skyscraper
church. Construction has not begun, but
the plans are made and it is probable
that they will be carried out. 1t is to be
erected by the First Methodist Episco-
pal church, in the city's downtown dis
trict, and will be a combination of sky
scraper office building and conventional
church edifce. The First Methodist
church has occupied the same site ever
since Chicago was a struggling village.
Now that the busiest part of a busy city
has grown up around it, the new church
building is to be adapted to modern con-
ditions.
a description of the proposed building,
printed in the Chicago Evening Post, in
forms the public it is to be pure French
Gothic in style and American in general
structure, thus combining the grace of
medieval churches with the utility of the
modern office building. There will be p
stories with a spire 40 feet tall rising
| from the roof. On the ground floor will
! be the church auditorium with seats for
| 500. Any leftover space will be given
| up to office and stores. On the second
story will be a balcony increasing the
auditorium's seating capacity by 400. All
| the weekday activities of the church will
| have rooms and offices in the building
| 1t is thought that other church organiza-
lions will also take Office space there, SO
| that most of the building will be occu-
pied by national boards. commissions and
executive committees carrying on reli-
giOus work.
This is a startling departure in church
construction, distinctly a product of the
American big city. There is no reason
why the building should not be beauti-
full in line and proportion. There is nc
reason, either. why its weekday utility
should interfere with its function as q
place for worship. Many times the ex-
ternal beauty of a city church is lost be-
cause the surroundings are not suitable
to set off its dignity and charm. This sky
scraper scheme is simply adapting the ex-
terror of the church to its environment

NEGOTIATIONS AND GUNS.

Nearly everybody seems to be heartily
in favor of the disarmament conference
in Washington. The only important diff
ference of opinion has to do with the
scope of the work to be undertaken. SEN
ator Borah and his adherents would like
to have the government stick to the ORR
ginal proposition of getting the three
leading naval powers to limit their ma
vies by agreement The administration
favors a more ambitious program. 1t Is
ready to discuss naval armament, land
armament and Far Eastern questions,
and even the world situation in genssa&,
putting its emphasis on the elimination
of the causes of international quarrel
rather than on armament.
Probably no man. in public life or prl-
vate life. can say with assurance which
method is better. PROFESSIONALLY II the
basic causes of dispute and warfare could
be removed disarmament would follow
automatically. But that is a big. com
pick undertaking. The matter might be
put simply about like this: Take two
men. or three men, or half dozen men,
engaged in a controversy, and all armed.
How shall they be kept from lighting
Shall they be allowed to continue argu-
ing with guns in their hands? Or shall
they be required to lay aside their guns

Experience suggests that they may
come to agreement more readily without

tons. In fact, that is the way peace is
nearly always made. when a state of war
exists An armistice is called, and then,
with weapons laid aside, representatives
of the two sides talk it over. From a
practical standpoint, it seems that, what
