Inspiration

HEWLETT emphasizes the good
Il Il which can come from coop
Grafton between the architect and
the sculptor or painter.
Sculpture and painting, above
all others, are the arts which,
throughout the history Of the world
until the last few centuries, have
contributed most vitality to inspira-
ton, progress, and change in archi-
tectural thought, he says.
Perhaps the most unfortunate
influence of the Renaissance in
volved the growth of a conception
of these arts as distinct from arch
itecture, as concerned with an in
dependent message and function
not in any way contributory to the
art of architecture.
"AS a result of this, the place of
these arts in modern architecture
has been distinctly accessory rather
than vital part of architecture it.
self.
THE time is ripe, for the insti-
tute, as representing the profession
of architecture, to concern itself in
more definite organized way with
the esthetic quality of all those
products that do so much to make
or mar the effect of buildings and
to develop on the part of its mem
berS and of the public a greater dis
elimination as to the qualities
which constitute excellence in de-
sign and workmanship"

Questions and
AnSzOeTS

What is the origin of the military
salute?
Several ideas have been advanced
about it's origin. 1t was supposed TO
have been the practice in Rome, at
the time of Julius Caesar, for in
feriors to raise the hand palm out
ward to show that it contained no
dagger. This was a precaution
against assassination which was
common in those days. 1t has been
suggested that time and custom
have modified that practice into the
military salute. Another idea is that,
in the British army during the
American revolution, it was custom
airy for interiors to uncover before
Superiors and equals in acknowledge
ment of their presence. On account
of the clumsy headgear, this custom
degenerated into saluting without
removing the cap.
Has the Ford Motor Company a
plant in England or Ireland?
The Ford Motor Company has a
large assembly plant in England
and is building one in Ireland. It
is also building in England plant
to manufacture some parts, in order
to take advantage of cheaper pro-
duction costs and to save English
duties.
Who owns the steamship Dres-
den?
It is owned by the North German
Lloyd line of Bremen, Germany.
How many million dollar prize
fights did Tex Richard promote?
Which fight drew the largest gate
receipts?
Tex Richard promoted only four
million dollar fights" They were
the Dempsey Carpenter, the Demp-
sey-Firpo and the two Dempsey
Tunney lattles. The fight that drew
the largest gate receipts was the
second Dempsey-Tunney battle, at
Chicago, the total receipts being APP
proximately s2,658.60O.
When and where was the first
transportation subway built?
In London, England, in 1863.

Design

TINE institute has begun to build
Il up great collection of photo
graphic illustrations of works in
various fields of allied arts.
The committee which Hewlett
heads is planning to expand this
collection.
At the same time, the committee,
with the cooperation of the Ma
tional Sculpture Society and the
National Society of Mural Painters,
is making plans for the publication
of an authoritative report on the
subject of design.
Glass and mosaic, Hewlett points
out, constitute a field of design rich
in possibilities for the artist of
broad training.
Metal work in its many architec-
tural forms he regards as today the
most active branch of esthetic ex-
Fermentation connected with the
practice of architecture.
In connection with recent ar
chitectural developments, wood
carving, Hewlett says, has, like
stained glass, tended to lose inn
portance and significance except in
connection with ecclesiastical work.
He finds a discodraging lack of
progress in the architectural use of
burned clay products.
Discussing textiles, he expresses
the opinion that the Jacquard Loom
and the Rotary Press have in this
machine age produced results in the
weaving and printing of decorative
fabrics that, without exaggeratlon,
may be compared to the influence of
the printing press upon the dis
semination of literature.

THouGH Of Japanese extraetion.

THROUGH of japanese extraction,
i Mani Minter, the former night
club dancer. was born in Montreal,
which made her a Canadian citizen.
She lost her Canadian citizenship
by marrying an American and then
lost her American citizenship by
divorcing him.
She never had any citizenship in
Japan, because she wasn't born
there. Being classified as Jap
anese on account Of her parents, she
is barred from Canada by the quota
law and from the United States by
the exclusion act. Being classified
as an alien because of her birth
abroad, she is barred from Japan.
Some headline writers describe her
as the girl without a country, but
that is jumping at conclusions. In
the first place some way can prob
ably be found to admit her to
Canada, Japan or the United States.
In the second place, there are fifty
odd other countries for her to try If
these three remain closed.

opinion when small daies and country weeklies
all over the country were in opposition
The power interests of the country constitute one
of the most cohesive financial groups in the country
but when they put to rule the issue of private
versus public ownership, they sought to do it by
working public opinion, through schools colleges
newspapers and magazines-and got their fingers
burned
Both Rockefellers put together with Walter Teagle
thrown in, can't even control the oil business You
can add all the other oil magnates and the whole
kaboodle hasn't yet been able to produce oil with
out an enormous waste of natural gas and without
leaving in the ground three barrels of oil for every
one taken out
At one time in its history the great Standard Oil
Company sought to control public opinion through
secret ownership of newspapers but this ownership
became known and dscredted the newspapers so
that they were neither influential profitable
Recently the power trust made the same expert
ment and got burned again. So did publishers who
tried to thrive on money borrowed from the power
trust
1t is true that the Rockefellers helped control
public opinion for brief period by liberal contrbu-
tions to- the Anti-Saloon League So did Gary and
other captains of industry The Anti-Saloon League
worked public opinion through the churches, and
came nearer ruling the country than any other
bnation of wealth ever did,
But it couldn't last. The people began to see be-
hind the scenes and that attempt to rule rapidly is
becoming impotent. In due time public opinion will
upset the water wagon.
Henry Ford is rich. So is Andrew Mellon. But
Ford, Mellon Morgan, Baker, the Rockefellers and
all the others the Gerard list put together can't
control public opinion-even if it possible for
them to be of one mind.
The United States isn't that kind of country. The
people, patient and suffering may be fooled part
of the time but not all the time. What Lincoln said
still holds good.
And if all the men on the Gerard list brought
together in convention, the chances all against
any agreement any platform-socal, financial in
dustral, commercial or political For those men are
human and fallible, like all the rest of men.
Public opinion rules the United States. That
means, in last analysis the people.
