One of the latest combination fix

Across the entire back of this sink
is a three-inch integral ledge which
affords a convenient shelf for soaps,

The basin of the sink is eight inches

LAG IN BUILDING
RULES IS SCORED
Standards Association Aide
Urges New Regulations
to Cut Costs.

Building regulations must be found
ed upon a scientific study Of test data
or else they will lag far behind con-
struction practice. according to DR..
P. G. Agnew. secretary, American
Standards Association, New York,
who this week addressed the Joint
Conference Of Building Officials of
America and the New England Build
ing OfIicials' Conference in Boston.
Citing the need for more uniform
ity of fundamental requirements in
building codes, DR.. Agnew outlined the
plan Of cooperation between the De-
partment Of Commerce, formerly in
charge Of this work, and the American
Standards Association, which has un-
dertaken this project at the request
Of Secretary Roper.
The Department and the Bureau Of
Standards will continue their interest
in building code matters, supplying
the technical studies required.
To-day, building construction needs
all the help 1t can obtain to reduce
costs" he said. pointing out that
many of the building codes in this
country are from 10 to more than 20
years old.
Better construction at reduced
costs will encourage building, and in
turn will provide more employment.
Local building ordinances will have
an important bearing on the large vol
ume of proposed construction being
projected by the Civil Works Admin
istration.
Safety and health demand that
building codes be sufficiently strict to
afford protection, but they must not
be severe enough to hamper construc-
ton. A delicate balance must be held
somewhere between the two extremes
in fairness to all interests" he said.
Wide representation of architects,
civil engineers. building supply COM
panies, real estate interests and build
ing commissioners, DR.. Agnew said,
alone can assume adequate building
codes. The policy Of wide representa-
ton has been adopted in all American
| Star ards Association committee
work.
The efforts of the New England
Building Officials Conference in seek
ing to improve the building regula-
tions merit high praise" he said.
Many organizations having an in
terest in this subject have indicated
their support Of our program for i'm
proving building codes" he said.

PRICES GUARDED BY MIRA MEMBERS
Consumers Board Was : Guardian Against Pro- ,, posed Code Clauses

Washington (UP).-The Con sumers Advisory Board, set up under the MIRA to represent the buying public, spent its first year largely as guardian against pro- posed code clauses, which threat ened to raise prices unduly, or to set up barriers against the flow ot goods from producer to warehouse and across store counters.
 Under the chairmanship of Mrs Mary H. Rumsey. wealthy social registerite, and the executive di- rection of Dexter M. keezer, the board has protested innumerable proposals made by industrial man. aement.
 In a recent statement it pointed out that although numerically it has the largest constituency of the three advisory boards, strate- gicNlly it has not the backing which ownership and management give the Industrial Advisory board, or trade unionism gives the Labor Advisory Board.
 The board began it's career on September 8, 1883, when it op- posed the general olicy of rice fixing in MIRA codes. At the same time the boale urged that indus tries give cost and price informa- tion as an aid in checking price increases under the codes.
 The boards argument that consumers should be represented on code authorities was successful and the position of Consumers Advisor to the Administration Member of Code Authorities was established
 In recent weeks the board has shifted its work away from code drafting to that of observing code operation and how it effects the consumer.

 Bridgeport, Conn (UP)-As the auctioneer's hammer disposed of the few remaining effects of the late Phineas T Barnum, old-tim- CTS recalled few of the many in teresting anecdotes of his colorful career.
 Barnum was a great jokester.
 Returning from European tour, Barnum, who always was clean-shaven, noted most of his fellow passengers were full-beard- ed. On the last day out he secret ly gathered together every razor on board and locked them up. There was general consternation until Barnum brought forth Q sin- gle razor.
 He made proposition. Each man would shave first the right side of his face and pass the razor on 10 his neighbor before shaving the left side. All agreed.
 However, when every man was half shaved, Barnum tossed the razor overheard and locked him- | he received when several score of men, some of them prominent, walked down the gangplank with half a beard, was priceless. | During his early circus days, as proprieton of ''The Greatest Show on Earth" he advertised "A horse with it's head where it's tail should be-" Crowds fiocked to witt ness the monstrosity only to find an ordinary horse turned around | in its stall. Barnum brought the first ele- phant to the United States. He hitched 1t to a plough and pro- ceeded to furrow 8 field on his es- tate, "Iranistan."
