that a crisis was on hand. We
might as well undertake to make
that same realization over again. In
fact, it seems to me that the war
was of lesser moment than the pres
ent industrial situation.
Unemployment is a far more VEN
omous and dangerous foe than we
met on foreign battlefields.
The second item in the bolus
which Stuart Chase would have us
take is simple enough, if only we
can get down to clear thinking. 1t
should be evident even to the most
elementary economist, that the Hoo
yer tariff was a CHASTITY mistake.
We might even be graduated to a
more advanced position and realize
that under the new world dispensa-
ton any tariff wall at all is some
thing to be plowed under.

CPEAKING of craftsmanship, Gar
~ Wood says he tricked Kaye Don
into starting too soon and being
disqualified as a result.
He says that he made up his
mind to do it when Don refused to
agree to a delay of forty-five min
utes in starting the race which he
had requested, to repair a leak in
his gas tank.
Should Americans cheer for Wood
because he is their speedboat cham
pion, while Englishmen condole
with Don for a similar reason, or
should everybody unite in disgust
at such childishness?

Il evil that a SNUG and COM

when orators were fond of telling us
that this was the richest country in
the world, the cause of social justice
Jagged lamentably.
Mr.. Hoover did make one speech
about the abolition of poverty back
in the era of piping prosperity. But
it was vague and SententiouS

Another War Would Mean
Mechanical Murder From
the Air and Horrors Men
Haven't EUen Dreamed
About.
NEW YORK, Sept. s.-Making
IN due allowance for the inability
of mutineers to function with dis
ciplined effectiveness, the Chilean
revolt furnishes good test of ship
versus plane.
1t threatened to be serious, if not
successful, until the aerial lombard
ment put a speedy end to it.
Having run away with the entire
navy, the sailors we're in position
not only to defy capture by the
army, but to inf1ict untold damage
on coastal towns.
Air forces represented the Chilean
governments one hope. Even Billy
Mitchell couldn't ask for a more
convincing demonstration than they
gave.

Here's Mechanical Murder
WTITHOUT a doubt, war IS 60
Wv ing into the air.

WIIHOOI a ooupG' war Is 60
w ing into the air.
Navies are all right as long as
they can fight each other, or de-
stroy merchant ships, but when it
comes to battling aircraft, they are
about as effective as was cavalry
on the western front.
What is bound to happen in case
of another major conflict should be
enough to make any man want
peace.
Half-ton bombs dropped from a
height of five miles and filled not
only with dynamite, but poisoned
gas; lakes and reservoirs showered
with deadly germs, and a lot worse
things that haven't been dreamed
of-war no longer contains the
slightest element of craftsmanship
or personal heroism. It's just a
matter of mechanical murder.

his receipt and they faced each other.

tossed her head. Eyes, it's dead now"
he agreed, smiling teasingly. They
went off arm in arm. Couples still
can marry with the old church cere-
mony, but in Moscow they rarely do.
At the table just across from them
a young girl in a red dress and stringy
long hair went to the divorce table.
She carried a heavy, dull-looking
baby in her arms, all bundled up in
a soiled blanket.
Have you any children?" the clerk
asked her, after recording her name,
work, home address. Only this one,
she told her.
Have you and your husband talked
over the disposal of it?" He wouldn't
want it anyhow, she said.
The clerk wrote out her divorce re-
, ceipt, took eight roubles from her
and told her the court would inform
her husband of his freedom and ar
range alimony.
An incapacitated ex-wife is en-
titled to support for one year, but no
longer. Should the ex-husband be
incapacitated, and the wife hold
down a good job, she would have to
pay him alimony for n year.

CAPITAL CITY PLAN
LAUDED BY CURTIS
Vice President Says Best in
American Civic Tradition
Exists Here.

All that is best IN American civic
tradition exists in this Federal city,
which was planned by the fathers of
the country to be community SYM
bolic to the fullest extent of the aims
and ideals of the new democracy, Vice
President Charles Curtis states in an
article in the greater Washington publi-
cation of the local Chamber OF Com
merce.
Washington is an outstanding ex-
ample of a city conceived and de-
veloped in accordance with a definite
scheme of city planning" he writes.
Reality Given Plan.
'"The abstract beauty of the Len
fant plan has been given substance and
reality by the architectural master
pieces of our early builders, creating
a tradition serving as constant In
spiration for us to erect still more
beautiful public buildings to stand as
mutely challenging heritage for those
who shall come after us. AS our nation
has grown to world prominence on the
basis of its Constitution, so has its
Capital on the basis of the L'Enfant
plan grown to world prominent recogni-
ton of its beauty.
"Our story of progress should not be
merely matter of plans and buildings.
The Washington of the future should
set new high standards in social and
economic as we'll as in eSthetic planning
In its business life even higher STAN
dards Of ethics and procedure should
prevail. In its civic life even more at

and related questions.
"In our emphasis upon the material
growth Of the city We must not over
look the primary purpose Of any COM
munity-be 1t Federal or local-which
is to provide q good and increasingly
improving place In which to live and
in which to work.
Should be Fountain Head.
"In addition we should give intelli-
gently earnest heed to the problems OF
administration. Eff1ciency In admins
tration Of civic affairs Is fundamental
principle Of good government and II
can be secured only through the Co
operation Of every member OF the COM
munity.
"Washington should be the fountain
head Of civic loyalty aS well as patriot
ism; It should be the national center
for promoting good citizenship. Here
are cryStallized in numerous inspiring
public monuments the history and ira
ditions of our country. Every Ameri-
can citizen should feel this inspiration
and should pledge himself to the task
Of maintaining and advancing it."

standardization.

Those who predict further Standard
zation of American apartment units are
wrong, says Oliver S. Turner, Chicago,
writing in the National Association of
Real Estate Boards series OF stories for
the public.
The trend will be just the other way,
says Mr.. Turner, who Is chairman OF
the property management division OF
the association.
People want to be as human in homes
20 stories above a city street as they
can be in homes on a country lane,
and the growing army of tenants will
demand more "humanized" multi-fam-
lily structures, says Mr.. Turner.
Won't Suit All Families.
Emotions, customs and humors must
be accommodated in the proportion as
they are important to Individual fami-
lies in the fiat buildings of the future.
We can no longer hand out the same
set of rooms to SO different families
and tell them to live in them. The
families certainly are not the same,
and thus will not find the same room
arrangement suitable and desirable.
Realtors whose business 1t is to man
age modern apartment structures are
now studying this subject, not from the
brick and mortar, but from the human
angle.
"Realtor property managers will study
the human element as it affects the
planning of new multi-family buildings.
Variations of conduct. habit and desire
will show in tomorrow'S architecture
For instance, think of the differences
Of habit in nationalities. Nationalities,
We can say with certainty, flock to GER
tain localities. Buildings in such local
tiles should be planned to give people
what they want in the way of living
quarters. Some nationalities love and
appreciate good food. Give them large
kitchens and lean closet space. No
economy will be sacrificed here.
Will Be Permanent.
There are other groups who care
little for food and prefer to eat out
They like fine clothes. Let them have
huge closets and cut down on the
kitchen space.
Urban centers have grown so rapidly
recently that every one Is agreed that
the city renter is here to stay and that
his number will increase with the years.
The apartment building is no longer a
temporary abode; for such families it
will be a permanent home, and should
be made as nearly like suburban home
as possible"

Of any one defacing their properties.

The Buffalo Real Estate Board, also
