Architectural Changes

"a building" an architect explains,
ais only enclosed space, or a combina-
ton of spaces. The shape and size OF
the desired space are factors in de-
termining the outline of the building.
"There is a reason for every archi-
tectural form. The Egyptians. the
Greeks, and the Romans, had their
own peculiar needs, for which spaces
were inclosed, and sheltered from the
elements.
"The ornamentation of the past had
as its purpose the telling of stories.
Most Of the people could not read.
Religion and patriotism were conveyed
to them through likenesses and sym.
bols. Princes who wished to glorify
themselves had the stories of their
exploits done so that their subjects
might see and appreciate their great
ness.
To-day. printing and reading have
taken the place of this decoration.
People no longer observe and study
such details. They are unnecessary.
Things which are unnecessary tend to
disappear"

Cooperation Helps to
Bring in Industries

Cooperation between the Toledo
(Ohi0) real estate board and the in
dusrrial department Of the Toledo
Chamber of Commerce has been suffi-
GENTLY successful to be made the sub
ject of a special letter sent out by the
chamber of commerce to each individ-
ual member of the real estate board.
Inquiries from industries which are
contemplating a new location are
usually, of couse, made in confidence.
Where such inquiries are made to the
Industrial department of the chamber
of commerce a letter is sent out from
the president of the real estate board
in his capacity as member of the
industrial committee of the chamber.
In this letter pledge of the real es-
tate men of Toledo is given to CO.
operate with any new concern coming
into the city.
Where open requests for informa-
ton are received from industries, the
chamber of commerce sends copies to
any real estate men having on file
property that fits into the request.

Part Played by Table
in Uplift of Mankind

There was time when not table
existed in the whole wide world, But
one day primitive man, weary Of
sprawling on the ground, rose and ate
his first meal from broad hewn slab
laid on powders, and from that day
his upward climb to civilization began.
Today we do not stop to think how
much we depend upon tables, but what
dull and inconvenient place a house
would be without them. Not only are
they at our elbow everywhere to keep
things within reach, but how they de-
light the eye-their lovely designs and
beautiful woods.
They minister to our comforts, and
please our senses with their grace and
charm. Each year they increase In
variety and cleverness, and each year.
because of them, our homes grow more
attractive.

, Building
Architects in MoUe
for CreQfive Beauty

With the prime motive of imprOv-
ing upon the nations architecture,
plan has been proposed by the Amer
lean Institute of Architects by which
the efforts of the various artists will
be united to produce perfect work
of art in each building. This plan adj
lvises collaboration among architects,
sculptors, mural painters, landscape
architects and craftsmen, which is be-
lieved will bring about notable adj
vance In architectural expression.
G.. Merrick Hammond, of Chicago.
president of the American Institute Of
Architects, in a report, says: "The
world in which we live is essentially
collaborative creation. We who are
living in it find ourselves surrounded
by conditions which have come about
as a result. of the adjustment of
forces, some Of them creative, some
Of them destructive, some of them
making for order and durability and
beauty, and some Of them tending to
confusion, instability and ugliness. No
lasting element in our environment Is
the result of purely individual effort.
Collaboration has been a continuous
creative influence In every great hu.
man undertaking.
"Every architect realizes his depend.
ence upon the results Of collaborative
effort In those phases of his work that
are classed as structural and in all
those matters in regard to which the
specialist must be called in. but in the
matter of ethics he has become more
and more an individualist, less and
less appreciative Of the adjustments
between master minds that have made
possible the great achievements of the
past"

Fighting City Congestion

An attempt to limit the density Of
population in residence areas is made
in a unique building code restriction
adopted by the city of Madison, N. j..
a suburban community which is at
tempting TO protect itself against the
piling up of congestion in its residence
sections. An amendment to the build
ing code prohibits the erection In any
part of that community of buildings to
house more than one family for each
$500 square feet of lot area. This Is
equivalent to limiting the maximum
density Of population to II families
to the acre.

grow so big, L'Enfant's city was to be
only two and half miles wide and
three and a half miles long. His plan
for that city is today as he made 1t,

The city did not grow much bigger
until the War of Secession, when 1t

Washington, and in building up the
outer sections nothing was thought of
but money returns. Yet so meticulous-

fusion even when greed and ignorance
had done their worst. The new city,

he had planned so wisely that nothing
can prevent its Towering into consum-
The distortion Of the original idea had
become such an eyesore by 1901 that
a congressional commission, headed by
Senator James Mcmillan, of Michigan,
set about restoring the L'Enfant plan
wherever it had been departed from,
and embodied it's praiseworthy attempt
in legislation which still rules.
Ever since then the task of unifying
and greatening Washington has been
carried indefatigably on, and succeed
ing congresses have been more and
more friendly and attentive.
The present plan, put into opera

Senator Smoot Of Utah and having an
initial fund of $5.0DO,000 at its dis
