BUILDINGS FIB ,
ARCHITECT
SAYS

Buildings, like people, sometimes
have the perfidious charm of great
talent for fibbing, according to Frank
Cheney Farley. of the American In
atitute of Architects.
What would you say Of the facade
of a building which showed four
stories when there were only three?
he asks. 'rYou may think this is
ridiculous question but are you
sure it ! does not exist? Many
churches in the so-called Baroque
style are so composed.
Architecture is the art of building
with beauty. .3eauty.' said Plato, 1s
the spIendor OF truth This view OF
beauty and truth is precisely the
guiding spirit of all great achitec'
ture.
For the painter and the sculptor
the truth is in the outside world; for
the architect it resides within him
self, and may be translated by one
word, conscience.
Calls 1t Intuition
Architecture conceives, then
studies, then builds. 1t is the ex-
preston in concrete form OF an
idea. Back of every architectural
composition there is an idea in the
mind of the architect which par
takes of the nature of find.
Rarely will the development of
such an idea be the result OF logi-
cal deduction. More often it is
synthetic welling-up complete in his
consciousness. This mode Of crea-
ton, which puts to route the
theories and methods of traditional
logic. is intuition. 1t is the true
genesis of the artistic idea. This
phenomenon will be the same
whether the subject matter be
great or small.
Truth in expressing the char
acter OF the setting must extend
to truth in construction" Farley
declares "The executed ediflce
must be true to itself, must tell no
architectural lies, must possess
unity. !"
ITO assure unity, some central
focal idea must dominate" he states.
"Consider the Palace of Versailles.
The location of honor is perfectly
marked. 1t is at the center OF the
marble court and in the center of
the building facing the gardens.
Here are found the Kings bed
room and the great gallery for re
ception--the gallery where the
Peace Treaty was signed.
Two Examples
''The, magnificent chapel, .sacri-
feed to royal majesty, has been
thrown back into a wing. Louis
XIV was nevertheless the most
Christian king but beyond all else
he was king.
HOn the other hand, consider the
! Escurial, that great palace of the
Spanish monarch, where the queen
mother has just been laid to rest.
There the mighty chapel is in the
center and heart of the composition
and everything else converges on
it. Though Philip III was monarch
of an empire on which the sun
never set, he was above all the
Catholic King"

GERMANS MAY TRY !.
j. S. RADIO SYSTEM.
American Financing Method
of sponsored Programs"
May Be Adopted.

The American mode Of financing its
broadcasting by indirect advertising
through sponsored programs may be
adopted by broadcaSttng systems Of
Europe, notably Germany, which now
derive. their revenue by taxing receiv-
ing sets.
Although reports from abroad have
decried American broadcasting as too
commercial" the German delegation of
high broadcasting officials now in the
United States Is profoundly impressed
with the success Of American adver-
Using methods via radio. They will
recommend to their home government
that the plan be tried out It is not
unlikely that II Germany adopts the
sponsored program method, other Euro
pean nations will follow.
Plan Exchange Of Programs.
Plans for regular exchange of pro-
grams with the United States will be
worked out by the delegation, which
will return to Germany toward the end
Of the month. A short wave trans
mitter for relay broadcasting will be
erected near Berlin for tests Of the
transmission Of German programs to
the United States. American programs
already have been rebroadcast to the
Continent with notable success, the
delegation reported.
The delegation, headed by Willy
Steinkopf, Of the committee on COM
munications and broadcasting Of the
ReichStag, has been in the United
States for two weeks. It made passage
on the German steamer Bremen on its
record-smashing maiden voyage. Other
members OF the delegation are DR.. Kurt
Magnus, director of the central organ
ization Of the German BroadcaSting
Company, holding company for the
nine separate quasi-offlcial German
chain systems; Frederick Blonch, direc-
tor Of the German Broadcasting Com
pany, and Hans Bodenstedt, director
of the North German Broadcasting Ac-
tivitieS.
Broadcasting Experiment.
An extraordinary experiment with
broadcasting was conducted while the
delegation was en- route aboard the
Bremen, DIR. Magnus declared. During
this epochal voyage, he stated, each
night of the trip report Of the progress
| and Of doingS aboard the liner was
broadcast by short waves and picked
up by the central broadcasting station
near Berlin for rebroadcasting through
| out Germany and the Continent. Ac-
cording to DR.. Magnus this Is the first
time such q feat has been accom-
plished, and shows the practicability Of
ship-to-ship telephone communication.
