FloWer-Like Houses

DR.. Rudolph Steiner has originated.
in Switzerland. a new style of archi.
lecture that Is attracting attention
among architects and artists all over
the world
DR.. Steinor's idea was that there
was no uso in sticking TO the convcn.
tional style Of BUILDING. He did not
see Why IA house should be straight
UP and down with square corners.
instead OF round or curved. Con.
sequently he and his pupils began
making models Of houses that re.
scmblod vegetable. flowers. plants,
trees. leaves. etc. This resulted In
some astonishing and artistic effects.
The idea is that the style can be car.
ricd even into tho field OF Industrial
and factory buildings. Ono model
shows n power house, built entirely
in curves. with no corners and n
tall smokestack In curved lines that
initiates n pussy willow.
Windows in these buildings arc Of
thick colorod glass 80 arranged as TO
get artistic lighting effects. The
rooms arc built in the form OF
plants and leaves and the walls are
decorated in accord with this same
general idea.

LAM Making BY Music

NET are coming to look with some considerable interest
wv ION the vcepresdentia aspirations Of Charles Dawes
lie is a musician.
What national legislation seems 10 lack-always has
laeked-is tunefulness We can see in minds eye
advantage in having Mr. Dawes where he pull saxo-
phone fiddle from beneath his official desk and tune in
the deliberations of the august senate.
For instance what could be more harmonious than 10
have the dead march in SAUL beating rhythmicaly in
swelling cadence Henry Cabot Lodge consigns the
league of nations TO the nowhere? What more enlven
ing than THE Rickey- Raekety Blues TO accompany
Senator Helm of his highest flights, or Seat
terng Seeds of kindness when Senator Caraway lets
loose in direction another? What more appro-
pirate than I'VE Shall Meet, but We Shall Miss You
when Sen Wadsworth goes hence he may, He Can
Read His Title Clear when Senator Jim Watson arises TO
explain why he doesn't like Francis Heney nves
gator? And think of rolickng along the fiddle with
Magnus Johnson TO the tune of "a Farmers Life for
Nine" Hes Feein' His Oats" when Senator Capper
appeals for the downtrodden raiser of wheat?
Why go when it is possible for the gentle reader to
appeal to his vision? The possibilities beyond
few words TO express and admittedly exceed the probab
ties somewhat but the Dawes candidacy should not be
dsregarded by a muscloving nation. If given the
opportunity. he no doubt will make all laws sing
themselves into consciousness they never will
otherwise and the soft and loud pedals will appear to us
in their true values. Legislation to beat the band is
within easy reach
