Time DECLARED RIPE
FOR BUILDING WORK
Architect Committee Says From Is
to 80 Per Cent Can Be Saved
on Investment.

New buildings are on the bargain
counter" 1t Is declared in a statement
issued by the Architects Emergency
Employment Committee of the Regien of
New York, formed. with Julian Clarence
Levi, fellow of the American institute Of
Architects, as chairman, to relieve the
immediate and serious problem Of un-
employment among architects and archi-
tectural craftsmen.
ANY person needing q building OF
any type now or within the next two
years can save from IS to 80 per cent
en- his investment by starting the prof.
ect at once" says the statement.
Architects can study their job more
carefully than Is possible during a rush
period, contractors will figure closely
because of their desire to keep their or
ganizations together, materials are much
cheaper on the average than they were
a year or two ago and labor is much
more efhcient than 1t was during the
peak of the building boom.
Many Of the incompetent and mex
pertenced men have been weeded out
Of the building industry, which means
that the contractors have the pick of
the masons, carpenters, painters and
others whose services are required"

ney for Earl Gentry, former bench
man of D. G. Stephenson, former
Ku-Klux Khan dragon, has notified
Judge Morris of Henry circuit court
here, that no appeal will be taken
in Gentry's suit against John H.

an attorney fee, which he declared

money without his coT2sent.
Gentry was arrested on charge
of arson in Indianapolis in connec-
ton with the burning of Stephen
sons home, and was released with
Liberty bonds as security.
When the case against Gentry
was dismissed, Kiplinger was alleged
to have held his fee out of the
bonds, and Gentry sued to recover
$500. alleged to have been an
overcharge on Kiplinger's part.
In deciding the case in Kiplin-
gers favor. the court here held that
the fee was not unreasonable.
