The introduction of these courses in

latter to study, has given us another
great example of this trend toward the
new American architecture in the Scot
tish Rite Temple at Washington. ID. G..
In its lines this building differs radically
from the Cunard Building. although
each Is monumental In its ewn way.
The temple at Washington Is low and
TO certain extent influenced by the
Grecian, yet in common with the New
York structure 1t expresses the virile
American character of its designer.
A third example. designed. however,
to meet an entirely different problem. is
the late Charles F. McKim. Here the
Roman influence is shown in the beauti-
full colonnade and in its beautiful
waiting room. with its beautiful vaulted
ceiling. | know of no other room in this
country that has a dignity or beauty SO
affecting as this marvellous room.
The Gorham Building, designed by the
late Stanford White, shows the Italian
influence. 1t is frankly a commercial
building. No one would take II TO be
anything else. Above all. it is true to
itself and no mere slavish copy Of some
earlier works, although 1t. too. retains
the Italian influence.
All these buildings look what they are.
The Cunard Building looks like an Of
flee building. The Scottish Rite Hall
looks like a Masonic Temple and the
Pennsylvania Station looks like a rail-
road station. They stand distinctly for
what they are designed and are not re-
productions Of Italian monuments. such
as are TO be found in the work Of the
American architects of forty years ago,
when they were hopelessly floundering
for a national expression Of American
life and customs.
One who has carefully watched the
development OF these courageous Amer
lean architects, has followed their eman-
cipatlon from the rigid adherence TO
old forms and lines. can well afford to
be enthusiastic over the future of Amer
lean architecture, at least enthusiastic
enough to venture the prediction that
some day in the not very distant fu-
ture a structural style will manifest
itself throughout the entire country. q
style italian in Its basic origin but
American in It's spirit and application.

W. H. BLEECKER NOW
WITH DAVIES FIRM
Will Head Auction Depart
ment; Event Starts New
Epoch for Organization.

J. Clarence Davies. auctioneer and
real estate broker. announced yesterday
that he has secured w. II. Bleecker or
the old auction firm OF James Bleecker
& Sons to take charge of his auction
department. Mr. Bleecker comes from
distinguished family of auctioneers
which has been selling New York real
estate since 1868, the business having
been handed down from father TO son
for six generations.
Mr. Davies has been managing and
conducting sales OF property in this city
and its environs for the last twenty
five years and has always associated
himself with or employed other auction
GERS to do the actual selling on the
auction stand. lie was one of the first
to break away from the old fashioned
methods of advertising sales. Where
formerly IL was the custom to announce
an auction sale and trust that the pub
lie would learn something about the
properties to be sold. Mr.. Davies began
to conduct his advertising so as to edu-
cate the public In the matter of buy
ing real estate. He told the prospective
buyers frankly all the good points about
the properties as well as the faults.
II had been the custom to keep down
the appropriations for advertising and
publicity of auction sales TO an as.ound-
ingly small amount. Mr.. Davies several
years ago came to the conclusion that
in order to conduct auction sales so
that the public and the auctioneer would
each be correspondingly benefited II
was necessary to educate the public TO
the opportunities for investment and
speculation lying in the buying OF land
and buildings at public auction. Ac-
cordingly. Mr. Davies did not hesitate to
make liberal increases to his appropria-
tions for advertising his sales. The re-
suits were that sales managed by him
were phenomenally successful, both from
the standpoint OF the auctioneer and
OF the public.
Among the sales which Mr.. Davies has
managed within the last two years are
the Henry Astor estate. the Lorillard
Spencer estate. the United States Trust
Company trustees. the Burke Relief
Found alton, the Van Cortlandt estate
and the estate OF Lewis G. Morris.
The acquisition by the auctioneer OF
Mr. Bleecker. who brings TO the busi-
ness the old New York family connec-
ton with the auction market. IL Is be-
ieved will bear fruit in the way or
increased selling along modern and at
the same time essentially conservative
lines.
