Authority Is Quoted.
To support the first contention the
Operative Builders Association, In a
brief filed with coming officials this week,
quoted the following from Edward M.
Bassett, who is regarded as an authority
on coming:
THE application of any coming plan,
however perfect, will be arbitrary in
certain exceptional instances, and II
the plan cannot be adjusted by board
OF appeals to prevent arbitrarineSS, the
courts are likely to declare it void in
that particular respect.
Six years ago 1t was commonly sup
posed that the provision Of board OF
appeals with power to vary, followed
by the right of court review, was merely
method of rounding of tina sharp
corners Of the ordinance and maps. 1t
Is now generally considered that this
remedy is vital necessity to coming
plan. The occasional exceptional situa-
ton Of arbitrarineSs is sure to arise.
II variance cannot in some way be
made, the courts will decide that, in
respect to that particular situation, the
ordinance Is demonstrations and void"
No Control Over Appearance.
Under the present coming code for
Washington the commission has no
control over the appearance of build
ing erected in an area. so long as it
conforms to. building regulations and
the coming classification of the section.
If a petition is made for change in
the coming map to permit some new
development, not allowed under the ex-
isting coming, the commission must de-
eide for or against the change, but has
no control over the character of the
building later erected If the coming is
changed, so long as it comes merely
within the coming classification, 1t is
pointed out.
The Operative Builders explain that if
Washington had coming board of adj
justment, such body could grant an
exception from the established zoning
rules with the proviso that such excep-
ton be given only If the builder
would erect a building of an agreed
type. If his plans later were changed,
the building inspector could refuse
building permit.
The Operative Builders Association
in the brief filed this week with the
coming officials listed statements from
numerous coming officials in various
cities OF the country favoring the board
OF adjustment plan as now in operation
In such cities, or which plan Is being
sought.

DUTCH ARCHES USED.
Innovation Displayed on New Jer-
sey Clubhouse.

A recent innovation among builders
in the East is the use of materials and
distinctive features salvaged from old
colonial buildings In the construction
Of new ones. Thus the Hackensack
Country Club OF New Jersey in erecting
its new home along Dutch colonial lines
has incorporated the stone door arches
and brownstone walls Of an early Dutch
home, giving the modern building a
historic association with the neignbor-
the locality's architectural traditions.
In the same way many fireplaceS,
Ntaircases, and even entire rooms, from
once famous Fifth avenue mansions

Indiana Mother
Has Right Idea

For over fifty years, physicians
have recommended it and mothers
all over the world have recognized
this fine old medicine as the stand
ard remedy for those ills of child
hood. such as biliousneSS, sallow,
"broken-out" skins, constipation,
nervousness, indigestion, feyerish-
ness, no appetite or energy, etc.
Children love the rich, fruity taste
of California Fig Syrup and their
whole system benefits from its gentle
influence. It quickly purges the
child's system of all waste; it Iegu-
lates the bowels and stomach, and
gives these organs tone and
strength so they continue to act
normally. of their own accord.
An Indiana mother, Mrs. S. II.
Lucas, 1882 Wright ST., indianapolis,
says: My little daughter Constance
was very restless and fretful and
her stomach and bowels seemed to
be weak. Then we started her on
California Fig Syrup. Soon she be-
gan picking up and she hasn't had
a bit of her old trouble since. She's
a strong, healthy girl now and we
give California Fig Syrup full
credit for her improvement"
Always ask for California Fig
Syrup by the full name to protect
yourself from limitations. All drug
stores have It. Four million bottles
used g year shows its popularity
