This design was created originally
with the problem in mind of a re-

slight changes would make the
house suitable for any who might
like the layout for a private home.
Here we find this shop section

storage space upstairs made into a

Why has not America an archi-

American architects are asked that
question, and why is IL that so many
of us who have studied in Paris seem
inclined to ineulcate the principles of
the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in our

One very strong reason is that so
many people seem to fail to realize
that in solving the problems of mod

modern, and of our own period In

With Americans an excessive anx-

threw off her mcmentary depression

George broached her own news.

Mr.. Eggleston sent for him. Mr..
Graydon, at the store. had told Mr.
Eggleston what you had said-that
John had suspected the place the
money came from. The bank wanted
to put him right. Johns got it all

Still, fight with herself as much as
she might, nothing seemed to matter
SO much as John. She had intended
to spend the rest of the night packing
her new things and her old, for she
had no idea of sleep. There'd be lots
of time for sleep when she was
thoroughly convinced she wasn't

had wanted just to pack and talk to

the caller wished TO see. He led
Joanna directly through the marbled
corridors, past the ratings shutting in
vice presidents, cashiers and other inn
portant functionaries from whom the
girl caught glances of interest. 1t
seemed as If the entire institution was
alert to her.
Eggleston rose to receive her. Again
she saw a great gentleness beneath
the grave, austere exterior of this
man whose harshneSS was a tradition
that even shop girls knew. In his
presence she trembled at her own au-

her little matters.

Listeners Comprise Many
Ear-Distant Programs.

Wave length and power changes
made by broadcasting stations during
the Summer months have caused
many noticeable alterations in the
mne-up of the distant cali letters that
Eastern listeners may expect to hear

Assisted by favorable weather con.

many revisions of their logs in antici

the next six months.
In the lower wave bands, the most
noticeable changes are the absence
of KF'KX at Hastings and KFNF al

two of the most frequently heard dis

newcomers on the same and nearby
