The institute, in a public statement
today, declares that public buildings
and monuments in every community of
the Nation should proclaim the highest
standards of enduring architecture, and
that in their design the customs, tradi-
tons and local materials of the COM
munity in which they are located
should be fully recognized.
Enlist Services Of Best.
1.-THE institute afirms that such
standards of excellence can be achieved
only by enlisting the services of the
best ability in the architectural profess
sion that is locally available, and that
every community Is entitled to such
services.
1T also afirms that men capable of
producing these results are not to be
found in subordinate capacities in
State, municipal and other civic plan
ming bureaus, and that the concentra-
ton of planning and designing build
ings in such bureaus must inevitably
tend to produce stereotyped, mediocre,
uneconomic and uninspiring results"
The institute places itself on record
as sponsoring the early development OF
a Federal Department of Public Works
in order that all Government construc-
ton agencies shall be efficiently CORE
lated under one executive head, pre-
sumably of cabinet rank; with two as
sistant secretaries, one in charge of en-
cheering projects, the other In charge
Of architectural projects.
1.-THE function of this department
should be solely administrative and
supervisory. In this way only can the
best engineering and architectural
ability of the country be made available
for the execution of public works"

SCHOOLS SEND
BUDGETS BACK
BEFORE TIME

Budgets mailed to outlying
school districts early this month
are already coming back, accord
ing to Miss Elizabeth Duffield,
county superintendent of schools.
These budgets are not to be re-

"School budget law is manda-

es levied in accordance Herewith.
If school district does not adopt
a budget in the manner provided
by such law no taxes can be levied
for such district, no school can be
held therein, children cannot be
transported to other districts ard
no expenditures can be made for
any purpose whatsoever, accord
ing to the school law.
The superintendent requests that
trustees of outlying school dis
tricts follow the school law in the
matter.

Absorbing Iodine

Enthused over his successful re-
suits in giving patients iodine in
oysters, DIR. Rene Loubatie of Bor-
deaux, France, declares that the
idea can be used with all unpleas-
ant medicines. Doctor Loubatie has
been experimenting with other
chemicals. He is using them in
much the same way, which is to
perform a surgical operation on
the bivalyes, immense them in 10.
dine until they have absorbed a
quantity, then give them a steriliz-
ing bath. The patient eats the
oysters in the regular way and thus
gets more iodine than if taken
merely as medicine. The doctor
argues that those who take medi-
cine unpleasant to them do not get
the full benefit because the stom-
ach rebels.

against in1per1alist var.
The preparation and mobilization of the mass
es to struggle against war will have to be made
on far wider scale than many think.
Usually, one thinks of permanent arrnies,
fleets, arsenals, factories and piles Of explosives
ETC., when war preparations are spoken Of But
this idea no longer holds true and gives COM
pletely false impression of future warfare Since
the whole economy will, one way or the other,
be drawn into the war, since the keynote of all
iinperiAhSt war preparations today is to adapt
the enttre industry. all the transport services,
communications and agriculture, ETC., to war pur-
poses the struggle against imperialist war must
be Shouldered by the whole working class, and
especially by It's basic section-the masses of
unshlled workers.
The most vulnerable and, therefore the most
important strategical points in the industrial
machine-and consequently in the war machine
are no longer where they used to be- They are
to be found now in the district power stations
without which the operation OF modern industry
is impossible, In the chief plants handling chem
ical materials which can be switched on to the
production of explosives and poison gases in
the great automobile and tractor plants which
are increasingly mechanizing the armies and
aviation in the great engineering plants with
their mass production which can be rapidly
adapted to supply different war needs the rail-
roads, etc.
The mass character of the armies the tremen-
dous growth in the size and significance of the
entire economic and industrial apparatus mo-
bilzed for the war coupled with the transforma-
ton Of the national economy into an integral
basic and decisive part Of the war machine
will radically change the entire character, the
aims and objects as well as enc methods of con-
Quoting anti-war activities.
All the pacifist twaddle of the refornists about
"boycotting war" is meaningless absurd and ex-
ceedingy harmful. Whether he likes it or not,
whether in uniform, in the trenches driving
locomotive working at the bench, every worker
will become part Of the war machine.
This, as we shall see, gives rise, on the one
hand, to many serious obstacles In carrying out
anti-war activities, and the other, greatly ex-
tends their scale and scope and opens up wide
possibilities and prospects. The colossal war ap-
paratus, complicated and sensitive, will feel its
smooth running affected even though only one
part of the machine falls out. In spite of its
flexibinty and elasticity, the friction caused by
the faulty working of any part will suffice to
bring about the gradual dislocaton of the entire
mechanism.
