With 500 members it's a mob.

be followed at Washington, but it won't be, for that

lVI ori,o euz e+,,ia hesaS f~apt

Modern architecture is devel-
Iva oping a new style based frank
ly on the new construction methods,
no longer covering up a steel frame
with masonry to- resemble the old
forms which were necessary before
the days Of steel frame building.
So says DR.. Everett v. Meeks,
dean OF the Yale University School
of Fine Arts.
DR.. Meeks believes that the
younger creative architects of
America are developing a new style
of architecture expressive of modern
life and conditions. This is being
done, he believes, with the aid of
the newer building materials now
available.
Outstanding among the essen
TALLY modern materials are steel,
reinforced concrete, glass, and now
the ne yer no~n-corrosiVe metals" he
says. Our laws require us to cover
and protect the steel, except on the
interior, SO that this is still out of
the running as an important ex-
terror surface material"

The Jones Orphan

The Jones fve-and-ten law, which makes every
prohibition offense a potential felony, has become
something of an orphan.
Senator Wesley L. Jones denies fatherhood. It is
interesting to note that Jones is up for reelection,
and that both political parties in his state of Wash
ington have declared against prohibition. Jones, re-
garded as the staunchest of prohibitionists, has gone
so far as to say he would vote for repeal if a referen-
dunn showed the people of his state wanted it.
This is heresy. No really good dry even will con-
slider giving voters a chance to express themselves
on the question, and the more fanatical among them
regard such procedure as a defiance of the Constitu-
ton.
In Illinois, for example, the Anti-Saloon League
has withdrawn its support of Ruth Hanna Mccormick,
candidate for the senate, because she said she would
be bound by a referendum to be held in that state in
November.
However, the authorship of the Jones law makes
little difference. Jones sponsored the measure in the
senate and no amount of sidestepping can relieve
him of that responsibility.
The professional drys, of course, had a hand in
it. and, according to Ray Tucker, Scripps-Howard
Washington correspondent, so did Mrs. Mabel Walker
Wilebrandt when she was in the department of
justice.
The American political system is such that it
takes voters a long time to make their wishes felt.
These are increasing evidences of growing resentment
against the ridiculously harsh provisions of the Jones
law, and its repeal seems likely. Legislation 10 that
end passed the house and is before the senate.

fCeIery Tonic

once upon a time, when New
~ York was young; I went on a
party with AMMAN who had pledged
himself to reform. In full view OF
his affrighted and Mortified COM
panions he drank sixteen glasses OF
celery tonic.
Not until the seventeenth round
was it possible to prevail upon him
to give up his vile addiction and
return to normal habits. But by
the time he asked for whisky it was
much too late. Already a celery
look had set in around his eyes.
He was horribly Ill the next day,
and as recently as last week he had
not yet made a complete recovery.
He can not go to any restaurants
where the dinner is table d'hote.
Even the sight of an olive is enough
to make him turn tc a shade Of
green which is most alarming.
A little time back ] read a dry
tract in which the author pro-
claimed: "Europe's labor has its
beer, but American labor has
twenty-five kinds of soft drinks,
many Of them rich in milk, and
radios, palatial motion picture
houses. automobiles and restaurants
de luxe"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-09-02
Masonry

ON the other hand, DR.. Meeks
~ points out that masonry still
remains about the best weather
resister the architect has.
AS a result, he says, the modern
problem seems to be to modify ma
sonry forms to fit our system of ma
sorry veneer, abandoning forms
which r derived from considera-
lions OF masonry asa structural ma
terial, and deriving forms which
shall artiSticany express the ar
tlculated steel or reinforced con-
crete skeleton; to use, in all its pos
sibilitieS, glass, and to employ deco
ratiyely the newer metals. such as
aluminium and stainless steel.
In expressing modern Construc-
ton, the newer style has a great
opportunity" he says. Skeleton
frame structures are approaching
the climax of their development.
"AS yet, however, they have been
designed in this country along
strictly unitarian lines; almost ex-
clusively on the column and Intel
basis.
Abroad, architects are expert
menting further along new Structu-
raj lines, particularly in France and
Germany.
Let US be patient with some of
the grotesqueness Of form as it de-
veIopS in these initial stages, recall
Ing the cumberSomenesS of archa-
iStic Greek work, and how it re-
suited, finally in the glories of the
perlclean age. And the same is
true of reinforced ~conceret. We are
pouring it still in imitation of stone
masonry"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-09-02
EaIIacieS

HOWEVER, Dean Meeks warns
IL against two faults which he
terms the outstanding fallacies of
a certain phase of the modern
istic philosophy.
The first of these, and perhaps,
the most pernicious," says DR..
Meeks, Il suggest as the search for
undermining through the expression
Of the ugly.
The second fallacy may be found,
particularly and more prevalently in
Europe, in a certain inverted atti-
tude toward machinery.
ut Gems one of the fundamentals
of life that we should not for a mo-
ment let go the idea that machinery
is the servant of man, not his mas
ter.
And yet there is quite a group,
almost a school of young design
ers, which is trying to tell us that
We must go to machinery and let it
dictate newer forms.
This idea, when applied, has in
fluenced modern architecture, and
modern drama, with surprising re-
suits. I believe it to be a thor
oughly morbid inversion of function.
There is one element that the
ultra-progressive should bear in
mind. Little is to be gained by the
conscious effort toward tour-de-
force.
"Bluntly, architectural stunts do
not create architectural style. To
indulge in them is only one degree
less intelligent than consciously to
design ugliness.
Stunt and skill are dangerously
close, as well as pretense and i'm
agination. But stunt and pretense
produce one thing, skill and i'm
agination another. The surest test
is the esthetic one"

Chance for Debate

THAT we have been sold on the
Il desirability of education as an
abstract proposition hardly can be
regarded otherwise than as a great
triumph in human progress, but that
we should have been sold SO COM
pletely on trade marks and me-
chanical devices leaves room for
more debate.
The theory that a given amount
Of knowledge can be pumped into
a given number of children in a
given length of time has its draw
backs.
To a measurable extent, education
must be dug out by the individual,
and the individuals capacity to dig
has a definite bearing on the
amount he acquires.
The idea that people can be
treated alike is, based on the prem
Use that they are alike. and that
premise won't stand up, even to the
extent of skin on the finger tips.

ucation Is Essential.
SAYS:

T ABOR day and the end Of sum-
Il mer vacations, with school bells
beginning to ring throughout the
land.
What an army We are about to
mobilize, and with what little COM
motion! Thirty million folks drop
ping play at the stroke of the clock
and trooping to their allotted cages.
without much protest-what has
history to show by way of parallel?
One need not be an optimist to
call it not only a new. but encour-
aging, achievement.
We have at least made parents
and children believe that education
is essential.

Machine Ace Product

TNHE public school was not only
l. a natural ofTshoot of democ-
racy, but of the machine age.
How could people be trusted to
run the government if they re-
manned ignorant. and what agency
could lift them out of ignorance but
the state?
Further than that, how could
people be trained for mass produc-
tions save through mass thinking?
The fifty-room high school is
blood brother to the 50.O0O-spindle
textile mill, while the standardized
course of study and the state-pre-
scribed textbook goes hand in hand
with chain stores.

Once Was Optional

TT is hard to imagine a time when
l. parents and children did not feel
this way toward education, but one
has to go back only a few hundred
years to find it.
Schools for common people are Of
comparatively modern origin.
What We accept now as an
unacceptable duty Of city, town, and
state was a voluntary affair Of
families, communities, or special or
CARNATIONS not sc long ago.
What We are willing to support
at almost any cost was looked upon
as of doubtful value by some
supposedly wise men who have been
dead only a few years.

GONE of the punishments in

Between the line of good beer
and pure water there lies the
No Mans Land of pop and phos-

that water, in moderation, can be

it stands next to beer as a bever-

EUGENE FIELDS BIRTH
September 2

ON Sept. 2, 1850, Eugene Field,
" noted American poet and jour-
nalist, was born at st. Louis.
He removed to New England and
spent several years of his child
hood in Vermont and Massachu-
sets. Though he completed his
education in Missouri, critics say
his writings showed traces of the
New England environment.
He began newspaper work at %
and ten years later became asso-
ciated with the Chicago Daily News.
with which he was for twelve years
identified through his famous COL
umn, "SharpS and Flats" His hui
morous sayings in the column es-
tablished his reputation in jour-
naliSm. But he also showed he
could write with rare sympathy.
An estimate of the mans scope
is concisely given in this sentence:
He seemed to have equal sympathy
with the wild life of the prairie and
with classic culture, for irrespon-
sible Bohemian life and quiet do
nestle felicities."
Field is probably most widely
known as a poet of childhood, but
most admired as a humorist. Among
his works are: Cultures Garland, >
Love Affairs of a Bibliomaniac,
Little Book of Western Verse
with Trumpet and Drum" and
Poems of Childhood"
