'The people of the United States have
never been quite as ready to listen to
the architect as they are to-day: This
is particularly true of commercial Amer
lea. Industry has grown out of its
swaddling clothes and has advanced TO
point where 1t can think seriously Of
attractive premises as a business asset.
Mere bulk no longer satisfies the desire
Of commercial, enterprise"
This Is the view of Frank j. Helmle Of
Helmle & Corbett, architects VINO yes
terday expressed the opinion that archi-
lecture has never been so desirable ca
reer to the young man who is planning
his future as 1t Is to-day.
1T is true that there have always
been large number of persons In this
country who have cherished a love OF
beautiful architectural forms. The
early colonists from England bore with
them to this country their love of fire
architectural types that they had known
in their home land. They adopted them
and made them their own.
But the rapid Industrial growth of
the United States for a time seemed to
submerge all thought of beauty in the
desire for material advancement. AS a
consequence we progressed In the large
and imposing ediflces. but not the beau
tiful. Size and efficiency. which was
too often synonym for ugliness, as slo-
gans quite overwhelmed any thought OF
the attractive. To-day we are learning
that beauty does not necessarily mean
frills and that good looking building
may serve it's purpose better than an
unsiEhtly one.
The youth OF the country are finding
architecture an attractive profession.

FIRE APPOINTMENT
Peter B. Spence as Chief Of
Prevention Bureau Hailed
by New York Board.

The appointment of Peter B. Spence
as Chief of the Fire Prevention Bureau
of the Fire Department has been highly
approved by the Real Estate Board OF
New York. because Mr.. Spence Is an
engineer and builder. The board has
always maintained that the Office should
be filled by an architect or q structural
engineer OF at least ffteen years ex-
perience. In commenting on the APP
pointment, the board says:
1.-THE Real Estate Board Of New York
has always held that all regulatory laws
should be administered with judgment
and discretion. 1t rarely happens that
all the conditions OF any two buildings
are alike, and the law which might be
perfectly applicable TO one building
would be an act OF injustice IL enforced
as to another building. 1t is for this
reason the superintendents Of buildings
in the several boroughs under the build
ing code are given wide discretion, and
for this reason also that the Board OF
Standards and Appeals was given the
power of review not only over the ac-
tions OF the superintendents of buildings
but also over the orders OF the Fire
Commissioner.
..It was in line with this policy that
the Real Estate Board OF New YORK
endorsed bill introduced at this years
session OF the Legislature by Assembly
man Jesse to amend the Greater New
York Charter by providing that the
Chief of the Fire Prevention Bureau
should be an architect or structural en-
gineer Of at least hfteen years expert
ence.
an commenting on this bill. the
Boards Legislation and Taxation Com
mittee said, "A department having such
tremendous power az the Bureau OF Fire
Prevention Of the Fire Department
should be presided over by man with
experience as an architect, builder. or

edge Of how to tight a fire Is not sufffi-
