MODERN BUILDING LAW
URGED AS PUBLIC NEED
Harmony Between Architects and
Engineers Advocated in Report
of Joint Committee.

Harmony Of action between archi-
tects and engineers in urging the en-
actment of model laws is advocated in
the report of joint committee repre-
ssnting the American Institute of Archi-
tects, the American Society of Civil
Engineers, the American Society OF
Mechanical Engineers and the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers.
The joint committee was appointed
with the double purpose of promoting
sound legislation for better and safer
building to safeguard the public and
eliminating differences which had arisen
between the architectural and engi-
neering professions over the qualifica-
tions necessary for the filing of build
ing plans.
recommendations of the committee
provide that the qualifications of engi-
neers who are permitted to design and
file building plans be more closely de-
fined, and that architects refrain from
sponsoring any laws which interfere
with the filing of building plans by
properly qualified engineers.

FURNISHING is STUDIED

In developing the scheme for furnish
ing a house two important factors have
to be carefully studied: first, the prac-
tical uses to which each room has to
be put; and second, the harmony that
must be the outcome of the objects
placed in the room.
To achieve the first, the needs of the
household have to be carefully studied
and the arrangement of furniture work.

BUILDING INDUSTRY
INCREASE FORESEEN
Standard Statistics Says
Construction of Homes
Now on Upgrade.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, January 30.-Residen-
tial building, which has been in the
doldrums for a long period, is found
by Standard Statistics Co. to be show
ing signs of strength, particularly in
construction of single and two family
houses and subdivision developments.
In a survey published today the
organization expresses an opinion that
the next few months will witness con-
siderable sterilization in contracts for
these types of housing.
Commenting on the outlook for build
ing as a whole, the survey asserts that
it is probable that a period of relative
stability must first be established before
the start of real recovery can be wit
messed. 1t is the widely-held opinion
that the revival is contingent in the
first instance on absorption of the over
supply Of housing and business space.
In other divisions Of the building in
dustry the company says near-term
developments of public works and utili-
ties likely will continue on a plane
moderately below the peak levels of a
year ago and that it fails to discover
any indication that seasonal improve
ment in commercial and industrial
branches win be fully normal.

Accident on
 Walnut Street George Kipp Had Strange Experience Last
 Evening

George Kipp, Walnut street druggist, saved his automobile from being stolen last evening by a daring thief, but was unable to prevent it from crashing into a fence and coming to a standstill against the residence of William Schauweker at 305 Walnut street. The fence and car were badly damaged, but the thief was frus- trated in his attempt.
 MT Kipp was in his store when he heard the sound of a motor starting. Running into the street he was in time to see a young man driving off in his sedan. MT Kipp leaped on the right running board, but was unable to open the door. The would-be thief leaped out of the left door and ran away. MT Kipp unable to reach the wheel or to apply the brakes jumped from the running board as the car swerved onto the sidewalk and crashed into the fence. The car was insured and Mir Schauweker was assured of being compensated for the damage to his fence.

Election Episode

 Brings Smiles
Man Accused of Threatening Another With Axe Piaceo on Probation Mot One of Jofnnle Irary Ratchet Men?" Asks Judge Mc(1rath

John F. McGrath with a big grin.
 "He was only trying to cut down Mayor Mayes' majority. J guess. replied Attorney Thomas U. Mo- Grath, counsel for the accused. Beccia denied that he was the aggressor in the affair. He testi- fled that Pilla had stopped him and actually demanded if he had voted. Beccia replied that 1t was none of his business and the two men were promptly engaged in a
 wordy battle.
 According to Pilla, Beccia came to his place of business and started to use big words in Italian, bawling him out for something of which he was entirely in ignorance. Beccia | d iourned the meeting rather abruptly and went home. When he appeared the second time he car- ried a hatchet concealed under his coat and attempted to renew the controversy. Not wishing to enact a ''tong war scene," Pilla remained silent. When he had a chance to escape he hurried away and told his story to the police.
 Beccia was placed on probation
 for six months with the warming
 that his next appearance In court
 means a trip to jail.

A quarrel that had possibilities of developing into something seri- ous when one of the disputants ap- peared armed with a hatchet was settled temporarily at least in po- lice court this morning with an ex- change of "wisecracks" that caused even the accused and the complain ant to smile.
 Dominic Beccia, 65, of Green mount terrace was charged With breach of the peace in threatening Nicholas Pilla of 89 Greenmount terrace with an axe, as one witness described. Thereupon the two men had an argument on election day. It started supposedly with Pilla de- manding to know of Meccia wheth- CT he had voted or not.

It will be a mistake for posts to put this off until the last week in October, as the supply will have dwindled by thatt ime and the lithographers will scarcely know whether to take chance on re- stocking the two items. Should the lithographers run out entirely, it would requare upwards of two weeks to make up the reprints on posters and cards, and by that time, the better part of November would have expired.

His body was found last night

CRISIS AvERRED
BY RAILROAD
SPOKESMAN
New Haven Chief Advises
|. C. C. Rate Rise Is Sole
Cure for Grave Emergency

Declaring serious emer-
gency" confronted the railroads
of the country, j. j. Pelley, presi-
dent of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad,
told the Interstate Commerce
Commission today that a IS per
cent advance in freight rates is
the only way in which the emer.
gency can be met.
Mr.. Pelley, who represents the
Eastern group of railroads at
the hearings, said:
"The railroads traffic since
the beginning of the present
depression has decreased to
, such a marked degree that,
under present rates, they are
not able to obtain revenue suf.
ficient to maintain their
credit.
Securities Threatened
Their neE earnings are fast
approaching the point where
they may be insufficient to
meet the relationship to fixed
charges that has become gen.
orally established and recOg-
niZed as an vestm ent
standard"
He asserted that if earnings
fall below this standard many
railroad securities, because Of
various State legal requirements,
can no longer be disposed of to
savings banks and insurance COM
panies, thus seriously limiting the
market for railway securities.
Furthermore. he added, earn
ings are such that the roads are
unable to maintain their normal
capital and maintenance expendi-
lures. The curtailment of the
purchasing power Of the railroads
has. in his judgment, sJrong
influence in retarding the recov-
cry of business.
He said further:
"The railroads are proposing
only such increase in their
freight rates as, under their
best estimate, will produce Suf.
ficient revenue to tide them
over the present emergency.
"They do not ask for the fair
return to which they are law
fully entitled, but base their
application solely on the ground
that without the increase i'm
revenue they now seek, they
will be unable long to continue
adequate transportation SER
vice."
