There is no good reason why we
should not work out a new architectural
style as interesting as any of the old
ones to express the spirit of our times
just as thoroughly as other styles ex-
pressed the spirit of their times.
In patterning this house, the designer
has taken into consideration the typical
requirements of family of four to five
people who wish to build on so by 100
foot lot

The kitchen is at the front, the living
room has a wing to itself and the dining
room faces the rear-connected with the

In this case the passage which sepa-

duction of bay window. This window

brick has been used for accent, and
this color brick has also been carried

REAL ESTATE BOND

Chicago Banker Declares
Mortgage Loan Securities
Are Just as Good as Ever.

Mortgage loan securities are as
sound as ever" Gen. Abel Davis. vice
president, Chicago Title & Trust Co.,
told the Mortgage Bankers Association
at Detroit this week.
While some real estate bond issues
are in difficulties, by far the greatest
majority are sound and in good condi-
ton. The mortgage banking profess
sion must keep them in that category
by the exercise of ordinary business
conservatism and by adhering to rules
of experience" he said.
Mortgage bankers must set them

expresses greater wealth and luxury Of
living in sophisticated formal design.
Today when we build here the mode
Of living still to a great extent controls
the type of architecture in the large
residences, which are of the formal
type, some of them picturesque like the
castles and chateaux and some of them
stately like the villa and the Georgian
mansion.
The moderate sized houses. however,
are either formal or informal; for 1t is
entirely possible to make the informal
farmhouse type just as comfortable and
luxurious within as the formal-so that
the manner of living does not control,
but rather the personal taste for for
mality or informality.

In the United States and the loss Of

Many people have q tendency to

and this is bad for the homecoming
movement, and bad for the country
in general" says the league presidents
report IF such homes are thrown
back on the market, no one really
benefits from the transaction. 1t would
be better If the home had never been
built or sold. Unfortunately, women
are often behind the too-expensive
home. They sigh for the more preten-
tious features in homes beyond the
family income, and their husbands toe
often give them such homes in an effort
to keep peace in the family. This is, In
effect, an effort to keep up with the
Joneses which has disastrous results for
the realty and other markets.
For even If the family is able to
meet the payments and keep up home
too high priced for their financial
status, they are inevitably and foolishly
denying themselves luxuries and even
necessities to do so, and other markets
suffer.

FARM BUILDING GROUP
CONTROLLED BY TASTE
In New England Structures Are
Connected to Protect Farmer
From Exposure.
BIZ WILLIAM F. DoMINICK.

The rambling, haphazard stringing
along of farm buildings without any
preconceived arrangement, but each
placed apparently by chance or for
convenience, generally gives a pleasing
picturesqueness wherever we find them.
In New England the white wooden
buildings are connected one to the
other and to the farmhouse to protect
the farmer against exposure in severe
Winter weather.
In the older countries of Europe the
old farm buildings are of more perma-
nent materials and connected sometimes
with high masonry walls inclosing the
farm yard, occupied by the stock, as
well as the farmer and his family, but
the casual grouping of the buildings is
enhanced in picturesqueness because of
their being so connected. Their simple
construction and design. with little or
no elaboration or ornamentation and no
conscious effort toward balance and
symmetry, make them informal In con-
trast to the larger, more pfetentious

Of those days when the European aristocracy

THE exceptional individual never had

While considering the merely mathematical
chances that genius has IN this day and age
Prof. Pitkin has been particularly absorbed
however, in human achievement and achievers
both historic and contemporary
The conquest Of handicaps seems to Prof
Pitkin an outstanding element in considering
achievement. He takes exception, for instance
to former Ambassador Gerards list of "most
important" Americans
1.-THE list is based largely On r,ower-the
power certain group of men WELD through
money or other means" the professor pointed
out "One cannot argue with the list from his
standpoint. But, after all, If ones father has
Rmassed great fortune and q son needs merely
to take this fortune and have q fine time piling
It up-One can hardly give credit for personal
achievement"
Prof Pitk1n pointed to John D. Rockefeller,
jr-. as . typical example Of one endowed with
CrOesus power by q father.

There has been no better moment than
the present for the appearance of q
genius. Eagerly GppIauding crowds
give every sort of break, euen to the sec.
ond and third rGter.
Checking over the achievers who have con-
quered seemingly insurmountable obstacles, the
professor Is inclined to place Helen Keller at
the top Of the list
This Is q classic example of what can be
done in taking the hurdles" he went on "Tha
story of Miss Keller is a story of achievement
in the face Of every obstacle-a truly Titanic
feat would certainly place her at the head
of any list I might make"
And in arranging the highly interesting sta.
tistcs for his recent work, Prof. Pikin points to
none other than Babe Ruth an example Of
another type of achievement.
Ruth comes under the heading of rarity i'm

upon q rare museum specimen; rare book and
a rare painting. When human rarity comes
along he must be similarly catalogued.
at closer range he has nervous stability
that passes 400 out Of 500 persons. And his
eyes function faster and more accurately than
normal vision by something like IL per cent.
The professor believes that whether you look
view is the same In every art, profession and
technique, the heights are lonely. The crowd
tells the young man and woman that they can
become leaders by making the most Of ability.
One Of Prof. Pitkin's most interesting studies
Is on the pianist Paderewski
Pitl5in does not rank him among the very
great artists. He places Josef Hofmann, for
instance, head and shoulders above the other.
And what, you may ask. IS the matter with
Paderewsii?
4 UNIVERSITY tests show that Paderewsh h
affected by q singularly defective musical
memory. He cannot retain the integrated pat
tern of any long piece for more than 48 hours.
This plague has infested his entire life.
And this, coupled with 'frailty of motor
habits" imposed terrific handicap that Pade-
rewsd fought constantly to conquer. And to q
very large measure he fought down the plagu-
ing elements They say that no concert hero
ever worked harder to keep in form. He prac-
ticed from IL to is hours day when he was
younger Which, as the professor points out.

the measure of man, a score of ingredients
have to be examined-such sensitivity OF

ests :. :. energy and host of other elements.
He looks to the millions of youngsters who
are now under the age of 35 to become lords
of the Great Tomorrow"
'There are four out of five ableSt citizens out
of every hundred now under the age of 49," he
declares. "And these will make up the 25O,OOO
captains Of industry, professors, scholars, sc1-
entists, ETC., who sometime during the next 20
years wiz be leading the United States"
