BUILDING REVIVAL
CALLS ARCHITECTS
Shortage of Technical Men
Threatens, Says Head
of Committee.

A shortage of technical assistants
threatens building and construction,
Lucian E. Smith, chairman of the
Architects Emergency Committee Of
New York, declares in a report to the
American Institute of Architects.
The increasing number of calls for
technical men from architects in nor
NAL private practice indicates that the
long delayed revival of building ac-
tivity has come" MIR. Smith says.
Federal and municipal projects deal
ing with building have unqueStion-
ably been retarded because of the lack
of proper technical direction, as the
architect only can do this sort of
planning.
Many men have left the ranks of
the architectural profession and have
gone into other lines of business in
stead of clinging to their ideals and
training, which seemed of little prac-
tical help to them during the depres-
sion. The profession faces lack of
technical assistants during the near
future of building activity"
Gets Men and Jobs Together.
The committee at present occupies
a unique position in the profession,
Mr.. Smith points out, because it pos
seSSes a classified registry of archi-
tects, draughtSmen, and technical men
allied with the building industry,
which enables it to put the right men
and jobs together without loss of time.
Over 4,5O0 architects and draughts-
men have registered with the COM
mittee, and $500 temporary positions
have been obtained through it. Pri-
vate industry has provided 200 jobs.
Federal and municipal relief agencies
$500, and the committee, over 1,2OO
on made work" projects.
Some of the major projects organ
ized by the committee have been ab-
sorbed by relief agencies, including
the Land Utilization Survey, the
Bronx Occupancy Survey, and the
Mayan Models project. The prepara-
ton of second volume of drawings
of Great Georgian Houses of Amer
lea" has been undertaken by the
committee.

WISCONSIN PIONEERS
IN RURAL AREA ZONING
Regulations Direct Uses of Land
for Farming, Recreation
and Forestry.

A report of a study Of rural coming
made by C. I. HendriCkson of the Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics shows
that Wisconsin Is the only State which
has county rural coming regulations
designed to regulate the uses of land
for agriculture, recreation, and for
estry. Some cut-over counties there
have been divided into two districts
forestry and unrestricted; scme into
threeforestry, recreation, and unre-
Stricted.
The Wisconsin program, he finds, is
an effort TO reduce tax delinquency and
the expenses of government in sparsely
settled cut-over areas Similar pro-
grams are being projected in Mime
sofa, New Hampshire, Oregon and the
State of Washington. Studies Of the
use of land, soils, taxation, schools,
roads, and land ownership, provide
the basis for a zoning program.

Chuck, through the medium OF his
uncle, who was one o4 the heads OF
the line which owned the Altruda III,
arranged for his release, He bid fare
well to his friends who made up the
Paint 6wabbefs and Grease Monkeys,
and presented Dirk with the foot
ball as souvenir.
He boarded q train for Westhampton,
where he always spent the Summer
with his aged aunt, with whom he
had lived since his parents died in
childhood. Nancy would be coming
home from Europe shortly, ald he
looked forward with anticipation to
the time he would see her again.
For several days Chuck amused
himself playing golf, going swimming
and sitting around the country club
with his friends of the Summer colony.
Inwardly he was proud of himself.
The hard work aboard the Altruda Ill
had put him in fine condition. He
still was a trif1e heavier than he
V tied to be, but there was time yet
to wear of any excess poundage.
The light and meaningless chatter
of the younger set bored him now.
His mind was set on bigger things.
He felt he had a duty to himself. An
obligation, to fulfill. And somehow,
he had a notion that hard work, real
honest-to-goodness labor, would make
it easier for him to attai his goal
than would say prescribed course of
exercise. After all, he reasoned, foot
ball Is tough, Spartan game, and the
only way to prepare for it was by
rough-and-ready methods.
aHe received a letter from Nancy
telling him of the glorious time she
was. having on the Continent, and
that she wouldn't be home for two
weeks yet. Business engagements
would keep her father in Berlin, and
she could not return without her
family.

spot, a desperate combat was taking
place. The heron was stabbing at the
hawk with his long pointed bill, while
she maintained her position on his
back. Keating interfered instantly.
The haggard was pulled off and
the heron allowed to escape.
If hawking could be substituted for
cunning it would be a great boon to
wild life. Naturally, far fewer birds
are killed, even with the savage
goshawks. than with a shotgun. 1t is
the natural way for game birds to be
killed. Wild life shot over is in a state
of alarm for weeks after. Falcons may
be flown every day without causing
disturbance, for the game see wild
hawks continually and are used to
them as natural enemies.
The perfect play between the dogs
and the hawks. the magnificent action
of the winged hunters, the brilliant
maneuvering of the quarry - all COM
bine to make hawking the perfect as
well as the Oldest field sport.

But they were wild with excitement.
They had taken part in the greatest
thrill falconry can offer - heron
hawking.
The crow had escaped into the
brush on a hill side. The haggard had
made her point and was waiting on
over the trees when the falconers
came up. Suddenly down the evening

ing purple in the sunset light. 1t was
the monarch of the swamp, the Great
Blue Heron.
In a fash the falcon was after him.
The heron tried to rise. but the pere-
grine reached her pitch. The quarry
dove toward earth, but not in time
to avoid the deadly stoop. Then either
the falcon bound to the heron,
gripping him as though she were an
ignoble hawk, or her talons became
entangled with the great wings. Both
birds came to earth together.

the stomach, as standing with one
hand flung upward, the fingers open,
and an automatic pistol motionless
and unsupported in the air above his
hand. And he remembered the spokes-
man in a half-crouching posture,
swaying sidewise at the hips, his head
turned back over his shoulder, his
face a black mask through the eye
Sits ofwhich something white cleaned.
He remembered seeing Helen Lux
ems apparently motionless, yet in an
obviously impossible posture, her
whole body extended at an angle of
forty-fve degrees to the floor. the
handkerchief in her mouth absurd,
grotesque, incredible. He remembered
seeing mans leg and foot in the
window. snatching the curtains out
ward.
And he remembered seeing Royce's
face staring at him over the top of a
sagging, splintering door. He was
glad to see Royce; so glad that, not
being a man of action, he tainted
quietly away.
A bullet through the deltoid muscle

not particularly serious. Forsyth and
Miss Lukens spent all next day quietly
in another suite, the one they had at
first occupied being closed for repairs.
They saw no one except Royce, who
had dressed Forsyth's wound the night
before, who brought their meals and
the newspapers.
Miss Lukens made Forsyth lie still;
she insisted on feeding him bite by
bite; and from the afternoon papers,
she read aloud to him the story of an
attempted raid in the Grentham by
gang of jewel thieves who we're dis
covered in the first apartment they
entered. Two had been shot and
killed; one, attempting to escape to
the roof. had fallen to his death; and
one was dying in the hospital.
Forsyth protested, when she fin

been identified.

them, was not badly hurt.

when can we get out of here?'

you"
"Will the papers tell me what the
whole thing is all about?"
IF you can read them with under
standing eyes"
''But see here! You decoded that
stuff?'
''Oh yes"
What did it say?"
Tennyson drawled: 81, personally,
shall do my best to forget. You'd
better not know"
WAS Lukens right in saying it
was the end of WARP"
The other chuckled mildly. Look
in the morning papers, MIR. Forsyth"
he repeated. "You may read the
answer there"
Forsyth did study the papers; but
he could discover nothing of any great
apparent importance on the surface of
the news.
There was, it appeared, movement
afoot for Three-Power Conference on
Naval Disarmament. The troubled
situation in North China showed sud
den indications of an approaching
settlement. And full page advertise
ment in one of the papers announced
as Sunday feature a story about
the recently successful results of
experiments carried on jointly by the
United States and England to develop
a powerful new weapon of defensive
warfare. But that was all!
He and Helen Lukens lunched at
the Ritz. "And ii that the end of
it?" he asked. 81 find the whole thing
rather disappointing" He smiled.
Except of course in one respect"
She had no need to ask him what he
meant by this reservation. What he
meant was, between them, completely
understood. But she echoed: dis
appointing?"
From the point of view of - his
tory! As far as l can see, nothing
really happened"
''It is the fact that nothing hap
pened that is important" she told
him. 1T was to keep anything
from happening that Tom died"
Forsyth nodded soberly. Il wish l
might have known him." he said.
Her eyes shadowed. TON was
wonderful. Since father died, he was
always the one who took care of me-"
And then she smiled, her eyes deep
and tender 'He really did me last

reflected. lust suppose he hadn't

even to suppose anything of the kind"
The waiter asked. at his elbow:

thing?"
And Forsyth chuckled. "No," he
said. The gentleman has everything

watching him with blazing, con-
temptuous eyes. Il kept it as a Curl
osity," he said.
He jammed his hands into the
pockets of the overcoat. Two men
still grasped Helen's arms. Another
faced Forsyth, three feet away. The
spokesman was by the table yonder.
Forsyth walked toward him, the man
between retreating as he himself ad-
vanced, till he stood facing the spokes-
man, the open window at one side.
His thumb found the safety catch on
the pistol in his pocket. Four guns
against him -.

Il didn't do it. It's still in the
bank"
The other seemed to laugh behind
his mask. Please, l am not a fool.
There were two men here today, from
the British Embassy, from your own
Naval Intelligence. You and they
had the letter here, studied it for
hours"
Forsyth hesitated. well, what if
we did? How did you know they didn't
take it with them?"
Helen Lukens was ten feet away,
beyond the open window, watching
him with some bewilderment. Those
two men still held her arms. There
was man here beside Forsyth, gun
in hand, silent and ready. The table
lamp had a cord attached. 1t de-
scended to a plug in the Dashboard,
Just behind and below this mans
knees.
The spokesman said: 1--WE are
making sure that they did not have it."
Forsyth heard Helen Lukens' ex-
clamation, muffled by the gag He
shook his head. They didn't" he
agreed. Il tell you, it's in the bank"
With his left hand he touched the
lamp cord, twisted it in his fingers. A
sharp upward jerk might upset the
man here at his side.
why did you keep it?"
Il thought it might be important"
you made a mistake to keep it,
Mr. Forsyth"
Forsyth protested: Say. are you
trying to scare me?"
II know the letter is here. l have
no time to hunt for it. If you will not
tell -" He turned half around, spoke
to the men who held Helen Lukens.
YES" he said curtly.
Instantly, without a sound. they
forced her toward the open window.
Forsyth jerked upward, hard, on the
lamp cord. The man beside him was
thrown for an instant off balance. his
weapon pointed upward. Forsyth
shot HIM through tho stomach.
The man who had been spokesman
was watching those two who drew
Helen Lukens toward the window.
Before he could turn his head, For
syth's pistol roared again.
Forsyth never afterward was able to
give any clear account of what hap
pened during the seconds that fol-
lowed. He remembered events only
as instantaneous pictures; like some
thing seen in fash of lightning, lost
in darkness moment afterward.
He shot the man beside him; he shot
the spokesman, at close range the
bullet smashing through the other S
hips from side to side. These men
were dead before another gun sounded.
Then the two men yonder who had
held Helen Lukens came into action.
They leaped apart from her, and one
dropped to cover behind great over
stuffed chair, shooting from this
shelter at Forsyth. The other, half
crouching. pulled trigger so fast his
shots were steady rattle. Something
