The objection may be reasonably
raised that the expense and facilities
for stone building are not on a level
with those of the lumber type. This
is true but why should it be SO? Only
because of the better organization in
the lumber industry. We have luin-

Ukrainians' Hope Of Better
Crops This Summer Seems to
Have Been Lost
WAS .GRANARY OF EUROPE

Odessa, May 1.-Fear Of starva-
tion In the Ukraine, once regarded as
dhe, richest farming country In the
world, has become SO acute that
thousands of peasants are abandon
ing everything they possess and
flOcking to the cities, where they
hope ITO exc out IAN existence until
all danger of requisition by the So
Viets has passed.
Hope for better crops this summer
seems to- have been lost. Merchants
here who formerly sold agricultural
machinery in the Ukraine are making
no efforts to dispose of their stock.
There will be no crops to speak of this
year, and next season It will be
worse" they say.
The Ukraine, commonly called the
"granary Of Europe" produced nearly
20,000,O00 tons Of wheat and cereals
In pre-war years. Its annual yield OF
potatoes averaged 100000 toms. In
1914 It marketed 27,000,000 head OF
horned cattle, 100000 horses and
100000 pigs. It also exported coal.

because OF rich stores Of grain accu-

which were shielded from the Soviet

must be used for seed. Now that these
are exhausted, the rich, black earth
of the Ukraine must lie idle and

BY Clell G. Cannon (Former Pupil

The casual visitor to eur treeless
rock strewn plains must no doubt
wonder why the natural stone should
not form mora economical and con-
sistent building material for the ma.
jority of people who there reside; it
is apparent at least that it would
be more picturesque and be more in
harmony with the environment OF
which it is a part And yet it is not
SO strange when one comes to consid
er that most OF the people responsible
for the form of architecture now in
vogue were born and reared in the
traditions of another community. 1t
is not strange that these immigrants
and pioneers and their sons, should
bring with them the customs Of their
grandfathers and more so in view Of
tho fact that the railroad followed the
tracks of their prairie schooners and
Ox-carts, ready to bring to them the
lumber that they needed. On the 9TH
er hand, had they be,n separated from
the East with no other means of traV-
el than those they themselves first
employed, the story OF prairie archi-
lecture would have been vastly diff
ferent. Forced by necessity they would
have adapted the means nearest at
hand and constructed their homes
from the native material which would
have been either rock or earth. Earth,
in the form of sod, was used by tho
settlers before the advent Of the rail-
road and by the northern Indians Tor

perhaps, because it could be assembled
quicker, with less labor, and the

the sod was. neither practical nor
durable enough fo1< a refined perm
anent dwelling and so, had the rail
road staid away and the people re-
manned and multiplied, the inevitable
result would have been that the plains
man would have turned to stone for
his building material. And because
stone is the native and picturesque
material it is some day going to be
adopted when the people themselves
have grown truly adapted to their sur
roundings.
Buildings and landscape gardens,
the work of mems hands, should be in

the paramount achievement of beauty

that they fit in as part of the whole;
it means that they are restful and

do not jar with their surroundings.

Washington, May 1.-Backers OF

definite and favorable action. Charles

renee Tidewater Association, who was
recently here in the interests Of the
project said:
"The next step we look for Is an
agreement between the United States
and Canada covering the development
and use Of the waterway. This can
'be accomplished either by negotiations
between the executives of the two
countries or by legislative action of
Congress and the Canadian Parlia-
ment." es
Opposition Organized.
Meanwhile opposition to the projec:
Is getting better organized.
Opponents of the measure, largely
from New York and New England,
agree that the plan Is feasible from
an engineering viewpoint, but declare
that it isn't worth the price.
They point out that the tentative
cost Of engineering work somewhere
between $3.50, 100000 and $500,0OO, 900
is only beginning In the price to
be paid for 25-foOt' channel from
Chicago and Duluth to Montreal. This
is because the maximum depth of
Great Lakes channels is between 81
and % feet.
What Plans Call For.
The project, as at present outlined,
Is to enlarge the Welland Canal with
locks 800 feet long, 80 feet wide and
Is feet Deep This would permit large
vessels to pass around Niagara Falls.
Work on the iWelland Canal is now be.
ing done lby the Canadian government.
In addition, the proposal includes
dredging and lock building from Lake
Ontario to Montreal, where about 40
miles of canal operation is required.
This 40-mile stretch is now navigable
only to boats drawing about IA, feet
Of water From Montreal to the At
lantfc there is plenty OF water for
large boats.
With visions Of having their prod
ucts carried from Great Lake ports
to all parts Of the world by boat, the
following ,18 states have committed
themselves to support the project, by
legislative action or declaration of
governors: Ohio, Michigan, Indiana,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri,
Minnesota. North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado,
Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Utah and

STERLING URGES PATRIOTISM
FROM CAPITOL TO HUSTNGS
Columbia Heights Citizens Authorize Probe
Of Children's Guardians Activities.

A revival OF patriotism extending
from Capitol Hill to the people
making up the Republic was de-
clared to be an urgent necessity by
Senator Thomas Sterling, of South
Dakota. who delivered an address
at the Fourth of July exercises hello
by the Columbia Heights Citizens
Association last night.
Senator Sterling drew a series of
word pictures showing the motives
and aims of a large class of people
who wish to use the government to
their own selfish ends. He defined
patriotism as the desire to act for
the public good without thought of
personal gain except such gain as
resulted to all the people.
He summed up the essence of the
Declaration of Independence in two
initiative, and second, respect for
law and order. He condemned the
Soviet government for its alleged
disregard for free speech, free as
sembly and free press and declared
that such a government should not
be recognized.
