ARCHITECT URGES
LESS ORNATE TYPE
More Effective Ornament Use
Is Obtained by Contrast,
Designer Says.

The present trend of architecture In
the United States is toward the more
sparing and more effective use of or
nament, according to Louis La Beaume
of St. Louis member of the board of
directors of the American Institute of
Architects, who attributes the cause to
the rediscovery of the age-old prin-
ciple OF contrast.
Even before the modern fury burst
upon us we were becoming more tenn
perate in the use of intoxicating orna-
ment," declares Mr. La Beaume. There
is nothing essentially new in this tend
ency toward moderation. 1t may in
our case, like prohibition, be reac-
ton from excess, but the principle of
moderation is older than Noah.
Though the architect builds with
opaque materials, he uses light to paint
his building by means of shadows, and
in the composition of these lights and
shadows, by means of buttreSSeS and
piers, voids and solids, turks the ulti-
mate beauty of his design.
Each element is as important as the
other and each must serve with the
incest tact to enhance the effect of the
other and to eliminate in the harmony
of the whole. Ornament is no extra
neous or Superfluous detail to be used
or abStained from at will. It is newt
able.
THE first test to be applied in the
consideration of any ornament or deco
rative feature is the test of necessity.
We mean, of course, esthetic, not utili-
tartan, necessity.
Ornament must blossom naturally,
inevitably, at the right time and place
It must be what we call appropriate, in
perfect harmony with the theme out of
which it grows"

EXTENSION OF DRIVE
TO D. C. LINE SOUGHT
Would Link Highway With Mary
land Road Leading to
Silver Spring.

Extension of Beach drive along Rock
Greek Park from It's present terminus
at Kalmia road to the District line,
from which a further extension to Sill
yer Spring is said to be planned by
Maryland authorities, is being sought
by Montgomery County interests, 1t was
announced today by Maj. Brainard
Warner, jr.
Maj. Warner said that Senator Ty-
dings of Maryland next week should
foster an amendment to the District
budget bill providing an item of $37,-
500 for this work This will be sup
ported by three of the Montgomery
County commissioners, Mai. E. Brooke
Lee and himself, Maj Warner said.
The argument is made that this con-
nection with Silver Spring would pro-
vide an additional traflc connection,
relieving somewhat the congestion on
Sixteenth street and Georgia avenue.

Practice Condemned.

Practice Condemned.
This practice, to which the District
resorted because of an insufficient
number of building inspectors, was con-
demned by Maj. Dawson, Col Oehmann
and Engineer Commissioner Ladue as
well as by members of the House Dis
trict subcommittee on appropriations as
an unsound governmental policy.
Maj. Dawson reported that District
ofhcials had no knowledge of any case
in which this system lead to any de-
parture of building code regulations in
building operations leading to acct
dents, but in supporting the request fer
additional inspectors he pointed out
that such additional personnel would
eliminate possible violations of the code
which might conceivably result in a
disaster.
He told the committee:
Each large project now which is I'M
der way has an inspector employed by
and paid by the owner to see that the
building code and the plans are COM
piled with.
VIII Pay All Inspectors.
"This man, it is true, must be ap-
proved by the inspector of buildings of
the District before ne goes on the job.
But, nevertheless, the minute inspec-
tional work is conducted by an employe
of the owner of the building. That has
lead us into so many difficulties that we
have decided to ask for an increase, so
that the District of Columbia will here
after be paying all the inspectors who
are inspecting for the District in the
interest of safety.
"That accounts for the inclusion in
the engineering inspectors list of five of
the new employees which the budget al
lowed"
When approved, the additional build
ing inspectors will be employed so that
