dent.

The South has never properly
advertised its resources" declared
Daniel c. Roper, at the annual din
ner dance of the South Carolina So
ciety at Wardman Park Hotel last
night.
Many people do not realize that
the South feels the need OF immI-
grants with new ideas and new
ideals. ] believe that the South
Carolina Society. through econo-
mists elected and paid Ny the So
cicty. should study the volume OF
ington and translate such informa-
tion into useful propaganda TO get
new people into new South.
The society can also greatly as
sist by making a study of the prob
lens confronting the State. partic-
ularly the boil weevil ravages. the
planting OF other crops than cot
ton. the improvement of educational
facilities, and the better marketing
of cotton" MIR. Roper advocated
the exchange OF scholarships be-
tween South Carolina universities
and other Mid-Western and West
ern States engaged primarily in the
same class of pursuits.

DEMANDS PAYMENT
OF FOREIGN DEBTS
Senator ShOrtridge Points Out
Enormous Responsibilities
Of U. 8. at Home.

Opposition to any move TO cancel
the European debt was voiced last
night by Senator Samuel N. ShoIt-
ridge. of California, in an address
at the sixteenth annual dinner of
the Washington Chapter, American
Institute of Banking. at the Will
lard Hotel.
Senator Shortridge declared him
self in favor of refunding action,
extending payments until such
date as our own outstanding bond
ing debts fall due but at the same
time insisting upon corresponding
interest rates as we are compelled
to pay on our outstanding bonds.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Short
ridge that while nations of Europe
owe us $4,000 900. 900 and accrued
interest amounting to at least an
other billion, , the United States
owed $4,000, 100000 and sl,0OO.-
100000 interest. The speaker fur
ther declared that in his opinion
the cancellation Of this amount was
not morally. internationally nor
legally right. MIR. Shortridge fur
ther declared himself in favor Of
closing the gates of the Atlantic to
BOlsseviki and kindred breeds who
seek only to destroy, and also the
gates Of the Pacific to Asiatic i'm
migrants.
In his opening address, President
w. J. Waller spoke briefly on the
aims and activities of the local
chapter.
National President Locke, of De-
troit. Mich, spoke briefly on the ma
tional work of the institute, stat
Ing the membership of the associa-
tiOn was approximately $4,000 in
1913. $4,000 in 1920 and increasing
to $4,000 in the following year. ad-
vancing the belief the present year
would show still greater gains.
Mr.. Locke pleaded for more in
dividual missionary work on the
part of bank officials interspersed
with a friendly pat on the back Of
striving bank students from time
to time.

toastmaster, supplied the jocuiar

THEATER CRASH
BLAM ME FIXED
BY ARCHITECTS
Comttnsed from Pna. one

examination shows that the system
OF construction provided was made
quate to carry the dead. load plus
the live load as provided by the
building regulations.
That the work did not have
proper inspection Is apparent from
the evidence submitted at the in
quest. This committee recommends s
that the building regulations be
amended making It imperative with
the owner. where the public safety
Is ahected. to employ at his ex-
pense. a competent clerk to thor
oughly check all materials delivered
with all contract drawings. specifi-
cations, approved shop drawings
ana schedules. as well as conform
ity OF workmanship with the specI-
fcation requirements.
Expense Upon Owner.
The building regulation should
be modified so as to compel the
owner to provide at his expense.
for inspection of this character.
This seems fundamental to the
architect, but to the layman IL Is
often considered a burden which is
to be avoided IL possible. The Of
fice OF the building inspector should
not be required to maintain q
force OF inspectors sufficiently large
to provids proper inspection of all
building operations OF the District.
The builder should not be held re-
sponsible for any structural or
architectural feature Of the design
as his. financial responsibility Is
covered by the detailed require
ments OF the specifications as fur
nlshed by the architect. II is the
architects duty to himself and his
client to see that these require
ments are complied with by the
builder.
Architects without adequate
training. craftsmen without any
training at all, should not be per-
mitted to practice. The public is
paying continually for improper
and inadequate advice from men
without proper training and ex-
perience. The chapter should press
with vigor the measure now before
Congress providing for the regis
tration Of architects"
