PLEA FOR BEAUTY
|NBU|LD|NG GIVEN
Something More Than Mere
Diagrams Sought for
Architecture.

An appeal for beauty in architecture
Ii made by the Committee on Educa.
ton of the American Institute Of
Architects, of which Dean William
Emerson Of the School Of Architecture
of Massachusetts, Institute OF Tech
nology Is chairman.
"In view of the prevalent preoccu-
patton with function rather than de.
sign. and the tendency to regard com.
position as little more than the Assem-.
bling Of prefabricated units. the COM
mittee believes that the time has come
70 make an appeal for beauty in our
architecture-for the expression Of
something more in the exterior Of a
building than the mere portrayal In
diagrammatic form of the structure
as shown in plan," it is explained.
with full recognition Of the re-
search and reasoning so logically ex-
pressed in plan and structure, we
believe that something more Is needed,
something beyond the purely utilita-
rian, that might be called either charm
or beauty, but without which our crea-
tions fail to realize their full poSsi-
bilities. Our appeal is that this is
worth striving for, and that it is more
likely to be embodied in our archi.
lecture when we recognize our debt
to the past and the value of its les
sons in meeting the problem Of today"

award. The committee unanimously
indorsed the house.
The Silver Star Homes Committee
Is headed by James S. Taylor Of the
Federal Housing Administration, and
formerly chief of the Division of Hous-
ing, Department of Commerce, as
chairman. Other members include F,
Eliot Middleton, president OF the
Washington Real Estate Board; Irwin
s. Porter, prominent architect and i'm
mediate past president Of the WASH
ington Chapter of the American In
stitute of Architects; Edwin H. Rosen-
earten, builder and member Of the
firm of Davis, Wick and Rosengarten,
and John Nolen, jr., city planner, of
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission,
The builder of the new Star home,
the Douglass Co., is an old established
concern that has been in the home
building business for twoscore years in
Washington.
Lighting Attractive.
The home has many features, but
one of the most interesting is the
indirect lighting arrangement that is
used in the spacious living room and
in the dining room. The system in
- the living room is on four separate
switches so that the volume of light
may be regulated. The bulbs furnish
ing light are placed out of sight about
the ceiling of the room, a modern
touch that has not been introduced in
Washington before In a speculative
house.
Another feature that should appeal
particularly to the housewife is the
profusion of closets about the house.
One member of The Stars committee
said the house has more closet space
than any he has seen in any house,
and that he imagined the future occu-
pants of the dwelling would be able to
use all of it.
The house Is an electric health
home" with all-electric kitchen equip
ment. The structure is heated by an
oil-burning furnace.
The dwelling has an unusually at
tractive setting with towering oak trees
throughout the new development of
"Tall Oaks" All houses in the devel-
opment have garages attached, which
has enabled the builder to utilize space
in rear of the structures for well-land-
scaped gardens. Alleys likewise are
eliminated by this plan Of entering
the attached garages from the front
Of the houses.
Entrance via Hallway.
Entrance to the home Is made
through an attractive doorway into
sizeable hallway. The living room to
the left Is 10 by 13 feet in size, with a
fireplace at one end and windows on
two sides. The dining room Is directly
in the center rear of the home. It is
IA by II feet in size. The kitchen to
the right and adjoining the dining
room Is 10 by feet and unusually
of the entrance would be used either
as an extra bed room or a den: It is
IL by 10 feet in size. There are three
closets and bath room on the first
floor.
The second floor is comprised of two
large bed rooms, both of which are II
by 13 feet in size. One of these rooms
has windows on three sides A large
bath room is located between these
second-fioor bed rooms. There are
eighth closets on the second floor.
The house will be open to the public
each day for the next month from
10 am. until 9 pm.

Fishy Prosperity
(Honolulu Star-Bulletin)

(Honoluu Star-Bulletin)
 Fish to Alaska what sugar is to it's sister territory, Hawaii When the catch of salmon, hai- but herring, cod, founders and shrimps runs high, everybody prospers. When fishing is poor Alaska s income drops millions
 The salmon industry is by far the largest factor in Alaskas commerce. In 1884 when the fisheries products exported valued at $41 100000 canned salmon accounted for $370OOO0O As an evidence Of the industrys importance to the territory the Ketchikan Sunday Chronicle in it's annual fisheries edition points out that the salmon business alone pays more than 70 per cent of the tax revenues in Alaska.
 At the peak of the fishing season. more than 10000 persons and 5000 vessels of various kinds are employed. Thousands of workers are imported from the states, necessarily since otherwise nearly half the permanent populaton-men, women children: Eskimos Indians whites-woud have to desert thei,, regular occupations for few weeks of work in the fishing industry Population of the territory after dropping 9600 between 1916 and 1930 has again begun to increase; half the loss has been regained and the total IS now in the neghborhood of 6O OOO
 The 1886 output has established new record for the Alaska salmon pack. For the first time in history the pack ran 100000 cases This means a prosperous year for the whole territory
 Fishing it is true, is not Aaskas sole dependence Tt has sizable tourist industry as we'll It is esti- mated nearly 30000 visitors will be entertained there this year The fur business brings the territory a steady income amounting to $16,000,000 in 1885 and providing livelihood for several thousand trappers eoio production totaled more than $5000000 in 1884
 Farming is still only minor factor in the terri torys economic life Nevertheless it is encouraging to note that the Matanuska colony planted there by the federal resettlement division has come through its first full growing season with flying colors The colonists have built homes community buildings and roads; they have cleared land and raised bumper crops They have established markets for their pro- duce and cattle and they already having difficulty in supplying the demand for fresh foods and meats The malcontents have been weeded out and those who remain are determined to make success of the venture.
 From all the evidence, Hawaii's sister territory seems to be doing very well for itself With its fish cries. it's furs it's gold platinum ivory palladium and other products, it holds valuable place in the tional economy

Caterpillar diesel was shipped from Seattle, to commence erection of the equipment as soon as the freighting was completed and the weather moderated sufficiently to carry on outside work.
 Hauling 500 tons of machinery, diesel oil and hydraulic equipment for 35 miles over poor roads and trails called for unusual methods and good organization. Manufac- turers had instructions to limit the weight of single pieces to maxi mum of tons and the size to di- mentions that would clear the AL aska Railroad tunnels. Three to six carloads of material were deliv- cred at Talkeetna by the weekly freight, where it was unloaded by a small gasoline Caterpillar and three men. Sleds were loaded with to g tons each and hauled singly across the Susitna river. This stream is about mile wide at Talkeetna and required bridging where open chan nels appeared in the ice.
 On the west bank two sleds at a time were picked up by the "40'' diesel Caterpillar for the 35-mile trip to the mine. Eighteen miles out halfway camp had been es- tablished. A cook was stationed here and another was at the main camp, on Peters Creek, 16 miles be- yond. As soon as the cook at the halfway camp heard the tractor coming, day or night, he reused the waiting eat" driver and his swamp CT, and prepared a hot meal for them. The rig was stopped only long enough to change crews. The trac- tor then proceeded to Peters Creek As soon as the malamutes at the main camp announced by theil bowling its approach. the cook im- mediately prepared a hot meal foi the crew. The tractor was halted only long enough to permit the crew to eat their meal, unhitch the two loaded sleds, and hook on two empties, before starting the return to halfway camp. This routine was continued day and night,
 Seven large No. g logging sleds were used on this work, and a crew was maintained at the mine to un load and spot the machinery for later assembly. A towing winch was

provided on the Caterpillar so that when the grades became too steer (10 per cent or more), or too icy, the tow line was hooked to the lead ing sled, the tractor went on to the top, where the brakes were put on, and the loaded sleds brought up the grade. This was repeated two or three times on each outbound voy- age.
 About II miles of trail was cut through the timber and brush to get up Peters Creek, as the Government roads in this district have never been completed for any practical use. The outbound trip of 35 miles was made at the rate of about miles an hour, depending upon con- dition of the trail and depth oi snow; the inbound trip in 71a hours, or at almost miles per hour A round trip usually required from 20 to "A hours, with an average ne. load of Is tons Double this weigh could have been taken but for the grades in the hilly sections, the condition of the bridges, the tenn porary ice crossings on Peters Creek About 40 gallons of 27 plus Be. die sel oil was used in the 70-mile trip and lubricating oil of SAB 20 rat ing gave perfect satisfaction ir breaking in the new diesel motor Direct operating costs, including fuel, loading and unloading, camr maintenance, and repairs to roac and sleds, amounted to about $8 pei ton, a figure far below any con. tracting rate. The freighting wa! completed a month ahead of sched- ule.

ROYAL ROMANCE

Not since King Carol of Roumania kicked over the traditional traces few years ago and tossed aside a temporarily for titian-haired beauty has there been much romantic excitement from Europes royal circles the present olderol around the British throne. Just Madame Lupsecu made the front pages of the newspapers of the world with her Carol little American known as Mrs. Simpson is credited with upsetting the royal apple cart of England by being what the dis patches describe "the friend of King Edward"
 The affair has glamour romance. It whets the imagination of the women of the world who have read, particularly since the war of the England's Prince Charming, who is monarch of the United Kingdom It is the real old rags to riches stuff His Royal Highness and little gal from Baltimore, who used to keep the impatient boarders happy while her mother prepared dinner Film drama fiction romance not furnish such an intriguing back ground
 And the sidelights that enter into what might well be called the international romance Queen Mary, esteemed mother of Edward has called her royal coach and moved right out of Buckingham Palace. The jolly old Archbishop of Canterbury has hined to the wide world that he may not place the royal crown upon the royal brow at the coronation ceremonies next May, because-oh well, it is just not sporting, should say cricket, with the Queen especially in view of the bay old traditions and the fact that the Kings friend what the royal circles re1er to as commoner In other words, she is not to the manor born.
 But it appears that great many conclusions are being drawn without consideration of the King He IS going right merrily on his way, tending to his business of state and his business of heart just he mighty well chooses. If there an international stir because he chooses his friends he publically at least, pays no attention to it. The King as he revealed on visits to this country and Canada is a fine chap. million veterans with whom he served in France will testify to like conclusion His liberal views and compassion for the masses of his subjects has made him especially popular with his .wn people well throughout the world And it Is very likely he will pursue a similar course during his reign
 There may be frghtful frowns on some of the royal vsages and some of the royal may sniff

 To examine a mine in Alaska, dis cuss the report at meeting in Ida ho, design and construct a modern washing plant, ship it to Alaska, and transport it overland to the property with tractors in the mid dle of winter, all in 75 days, is a record accomplished by Merle H. Guise, placer mining engineer of Alaska
 MT. Guise was in New York in October, 1885, when clients decided to investigate a gold placer locat- ed just south of Mount Mckinley in Alaska. By flying from New York to Seattle to catch the weekly steamer for the North, and then taking plane from Cordova to the Cache Creek district, MT. Guise took but two weeks to reach the property Stopping only long enough after the examination to look over some pla- cer holdings at Fairbanks, and for 6 quick trip by air to examine pla- cer ground in the Chandalar dis trict, 150 miles north of the Arctic Circle, he reported in person to his principals at Lewiston, Idaho.
 It was decided there to equip the property immediately with a drag line and modern washing plant Plans for large-yardage washing plant were worked out with the en- gineers of the Washington Iror Works, of Sea tile, and an order was placed with that firm for a com plete plant for delivery within three weeks.
