It stands like haunting skeleton of
dream. for its steel Orders, unincased

fingers spread against the sky. This
skyscraper hotel, built in the heart of
the North Carolina mountains. was to
have been unique. And it is unique,
for its halls have been abandoned to
the custody of a single caretaker, who
sits in wooden shack and registers no
guests.
The first IL stories of the hotel are
incaSed in tile. The others are unfln-
ished. Two windows are set. but many
of them are broken. A great heap of
decorative tile in delicate tinted designs
is piled near the entrance, only half
burying the blueprint by which the
tile was to have been set in place. The
print itself has been left on the ground
as If some workman had been ordered
away while studying its design.
Nearby, still baled in their shipping
crates, are the bathtubs, rusting in the
weather. Adjoining the bathtubs are
radiators, wasting like bones on a for
gotten hillside. And symbolic of the
whole disaster which overcame the
Fleetwood, a pickax is stuck in the
ground az if waiting for some laborer
to grasp its handle and resume work.
Intended for Hotel.
This skyscraper hotel was to have
been identical with the Fleetwood of
Miami. It was the dream of the same
man who built the coast hotel. 1t was
financed by funds which we're involved
in the Florida land boom and depended
upon Florida's continued prosperity.
For the land boom there, seeking re-
lief from the torrid Summer heat,
spread to the North Carolina noun
tains. Here it was cool in Summer
Here was a change of scenery. In
f1ated prices were put upon mountain
property, and the owners soon found
themselves the victims of that inf1a-
ton, for the bubble burst over their
astonished heads at time when they
were beginning to feel that they could
buy the moon.
The promoters of the Fleetwood
found themselves out of funds and un-
able to secure more. Mechanics liens
attachments for other labor and for
materials. Construction ceased Every
contractor who had furnished anything
toward the project appealed to the
courts. and such legal tangle enSued
that it was impossible to offset one
claim against another. Cases were car
ried to the higher courts. Decisions
hung in the balance The property
was put up at sheriff's sale and one
creditor bid it in for $1,000. But the
sheriff could not make a valid deed. No
company wanted to risk refnancing
the now-abandoned hotel, for no clear
title could be given to it. It's yawning
doorways faced the sun, unfinished and
unused.

Home undermining Available to All
At Fair Price, Architect Declares

Great numbers Of Americans may
modernize their homes to make them
accord with the national ideal Of beau
tiful homes expressed by President
Coolidge in his recent speech at Noun
tain Lake. Fla. Gerald Lynton Kauf-
man of the New York Chapter of the
American Institute Of Architects de-
clareS.
Characterizing the Presidents speech
as a great stimulus to the movement
for bringing harmony Of design and
environment into every residence COM
munity, Mr.. Kaufman recalls the Pres
ident's remarks:
"Some of the most appealing and fas-
cinating homes in the world are small.
They may represent but little outlay
and be the abode Of people Of moder-
ate means, but II there dwells fine
character within 1t will shine forth and
give to all the surrounding touch of
peace and loneliness which the most
spacious palace cannot surpass.
while few have the means to present
such a gorgeous display as will here
strike the eye and the ear, 1t Is well
to remember that beauty is not depend

today home comfort Is available TO
every one willing to pay fair price for
undermining.
THE difference between remodeling
and undermining Is more than one of
nomenclature. It is the difference be-
tween the trial-and-error method and
that of modern science. Behind the
newer term lie years of research by
architects. engineers, builders and in
dustrial laboratories into the economies
Of reconstruction.
undermining must mean far more
, than simply replacing the obsolete with
the up-to-date; it must mean far more
than an increase in comfort and con-
venience. and 1t must transcend the
mere substitution of the beautiful for
| the ugly. The economics of undermining
| concerns the resultant value of the fin
| ished home and must stand COM,
! parisOn with new construction involv-
ing a similar investment"

sion was made to Gov. Richie this
week by committee appointed by the
governor last year.
The report asks that the tax COM
mission establish a building and loan
association department, whose expenses
would be betrayed out OF fees collected
from the associations.
This department would examine an
nual statements submitted by asSocia-
tons and would have q right to order
a complete examination Of any asso-

Under this code, associations would
not be permitted to charge a bonus or
commission for granting a loan nor
would they be permitted to make any
deduction in the amount Of the loan.
Associations would also be permitted
to charge interest fees not in excess of
81 per share when the par value is over
500. II the par value Is less than 500

20 cents a share plus travelling expenses
could also be charged.
The recommendation would abolish
the practice of permitting persons to
deposit money with building and loan
associations and receive a fixed rate of
interest.

Rain and open dates limited major
league activity yesterday to two games
In Pittsburgh. but even this curtail-
ment failed to prevent the Cubs from
drawing closer to their pennant. The
Bruins themselves had two games
washed permanently from their sched-
ule IN st. Louis. as the Robins held tho
Pirates to an wen break. This turn o!
events left the Cubs in need of only
IL victories In their remaining 23
games-the same numbers the Ath-
leticS require.
Burleigh Grimes sought his cigh-
teenth victory In the opener at Pitts
burgh. but received instead his fifth
defeat. Babe Herman hit a homer
with ~ on in the third, and other
Robins punched blows for four more
runs In the fifth. giving the flock Just
enough leeway to ease out ahead BY
8 to 5 at the finish. Watson Clark
won his fourth victory.
Jess Petty was right in the second
clash, and Moss, McWceny and Moore
were not. SO the Buccaneers had little
trouble in winning by 8 to I. The pt-
rates collected u hits.
Babe Herman defended his thin
lead In the batting race BY adding two
singles off Petty to the home run he
made In the first clash. Games were
scheduled only at Pittsburgh and st.
Louis In the National league. The In
dian Athletic encounter. rained out at
