SCHOOLS BETTER
FOR ARCHITECTS
Minnesota Professor Tells
of independence From
Foreign Influences.

Architectural schools have declared
their independence Of foreign influ-
ences in experiments developed during
the last year, according to Prof. Roy
Childs Jones of the University Of
Minnesota, president of the Associa-
ton Of Collegiate Schools of Archi-
lecture, in a report to the American
Institute of Architects.
"The general pattern OF the more
than so schools In this country has
been nodded by many influences,
mainly, foreign" Prof Jones points
out. "The gist of the present day
criticism seems to be that this general
pattern, however sound in principle.
has become overlaid with veneer of
decorative non-essentials. The spatial,
structural and social verities of archi-
lecture have become obscured by a
haze Of pictorial and competitive arti-
fatalities.
Declaration Of independence.
"Whatever innovations and expert
ments have developed can, believe,
be traced to sincere desire to shake
off these gradually acquired encrusta-
tions. They constitute declaration
Of independence. The schools are COM
ing to realize that in the last analysis
all adaptations, limitations or emula-
tions, based on however fine a model,
have their limitations; and that they
are of no permanent value unless they
constitute to the making of something
that has a character of its own,
adapted realistically to our own condi-
tions and objectives.
"The general ferment of these times
has permeated the schools of archi-
lecture to no small degree. The temper
Of students, teachers and practitioners
Is to revaluate in terms of more in
dependence and realistic analysis all
that they have hitherto been doing
by habit or imitation.
Becomes Outstanding.
"The past year seems to have
brought all this to such a head as to
make 1t an outstanding thing. Schools
everywhere are willing to experiment,
willing even to tear down If necessary,
to build anew and better. They can
listen without a shudder to certain
voices that long cried unheeded in
the wilderness. They no longer SO
suavely turn that Rome or Paris
tailored cold shoulder on the Oregons,
the Taliesens or the Cranbrooks.
II am inclined to think this marks

Tor American schools a nearer ap-
proach to mature self-realization than
they have hitherto arrived at, and
promises much for the future.
"A new and promising kind Of CO.
operation between the schools and
the profession Is q significant Develop
ment in the current trend. Arcl1i-
tectural training in school has its
necessary limitations. We have long
recognized that it must be interre-
lated with actual practice. There has
been too wide gap between school
and practice.
I'm the last year or two an organized
plan to bridge this gap has been
set up by the schools, the profession
and the examining boards. Somewhat,
after the fashion Of the medical in
terne, the architectural student will
spend three years In actual and varied
practical work."

RAIDING SQUAD
NETS THREE

After watching a house in the
140O block Park Rd. N. W., two
weeks, a police raiding squad yes
terday forced their way in and
arrested three men suspected OF
illegal operation activities.
Two other men are being
sought, but reports that a police.
man intimate with the ring might
be arrested later could not be con-
firmed.
Police said that when the raid
was made, one man, who posed as
a doctor, but admitted he was a
machinist, was performing an Il
legal operation.
Operations, according to police,
were performed on unmarried
women. During the two weeks
the house was under surveillance
10 well-dressed young women were
seen to enter the place and stay
for from three days to a week.
Police said the machiniSt ar
rested was indicted by a Grand
Jury in September and Is at lib
erty under $4,000 bond. No
charges will be placed against
those arrested until the other two
suspects are found.

tion projects that were being put through and what they would mean to the state. But while he listened Mark realized that 1t was not for farming purposes that the Travers interests had secured the extensive acreage that went with his old home.
 Mark had done a god deal of prospecting. He had studied geol- ogy and knew that the rock for- nations were what interested the eastern capitalists - that there might be valuable mineral deposits on the property.
 "Well, reckon I'll park the car here," declared Jed when they reached the county seat. ~Maybe you'd like to take @ look around while ! get the stuff I need. 1t'll take me couple of hours, so if you'll meet me here then, we'll be on the way again"
 Mark Chapman glanced about him. There were many changes In the town. A big new court house had taken the place of the one he had known in boyhood. The streets were paved and many of the stores were new.
 As he walked along the marble corridors of the courthouse he no- ticed sign reading, Hall of Rec- ords." "By Jiminy," he said to himself that's where I'm going" It was @ young man who pro- duced the county maps, for which Mark asked. When he mentioned that he'd been away from the val ley for 40 years, the youngster ex- claimed. "Then I guess you'll find a lot of changes. Property's been changing hands since the Travers Mining and Development com- pany came down here"
 "So?" answered Mark casually Important people, suppose" he added as he noticed the names that were listed.
 "You bet they are. Travers is worth millions and making more all the time."
 "Well, well!" commented Mark, still studying the maps. "Oh, there's the Rancho Angelo. Who owns that now?"
 "That hasn't changed hands. Someone told me it's still in the same family, though guess most of them are gone."
 "And who owns this?" Mark asked, pointing to the adjacent land, for he had taken off his glasses.
 'That's Travers property, and sos this, and this," the young man declared, glad of an oppor- tunity to impress the stranger by showing him the extensive realty holdings of this concern. (TO Be COntinued)

CHAPTER TX

Mark Chapman glanced at his Watch. It was six hours since he'd rossed the line into Arizona. By &undown he should be there. Steam Fas pouring from his dusty old car lns he forced it up the canyon. At dast he reached the top and, swing Nng toward the side of the road, shut Epff the engine. Stepping to the |6T0nnd, he climbed few paces up tEie cliff. Then, shading his eyes Erom the brilliant afternoon sun, he I2oked down on the valley and the Eed roofs of the Rancho Angelo.
 Yes, there it was-the home he Ihad run away from more than 40 Vears agol He'd been in every state 'pf the union since that day. Yes, Innd in foreign countries, too. He'd alAd luck-good and bad-but when lane sailed into New York harbor a l1aonth ago, he'd felt the call of home.
 Now, within sight of it-though he had still several miles to go- Mark Chapman felt strangely ap- sprehensive. He'd never written Ifo his folks in all these years. Occasionally he'd seen 8 home- town newspaper in some city li- brary. He knew the old folks II;Were gone. One of his brothers, &oo. He'd been an airman, stunt Ing at county fairs. Mark had seen 8 poster with his brothers picture on it as he tramped to a Imidwest town. He'd chuckled to himself, planning their meeting. The accident happened just before Inc reached the fair grounds and known. It was too late then!
 His youngest sister had married and died. He'd read that in the papers. He'd read too = years Eater about her artist husbands success. There'd been some men, ItiCn of 8 daughter. But the rest Ipf the family mark swallowed hard what about them?
 aS
 He got into his car again. See kng he'd come so far, he might as WeIl go on. He'd never be satisfied now if he didn't find out about the family and the old home. Of course, Mark wasn't figuring on sitting down on any of his relations. He wasn't penniless now, even if he didn't make any show of his wealth.
 Maybe he was still thinking of Those far-off days, or perhaps the bright sunlight blinded him as he swung around the last curve on the twisting, rocky road. Sudden ~ he skidded and the car barged into the handrail of the narrow bridge. Mark was tossed into the ditch.
 When he came to himself he WaS lying in a bunk in a cool, dark room and an old man sat by his side.
 There, stranger, better not try k0 sit up yet" The man pressed his work calloused hands on Marks shoulders. You had a nasty fall. Lucky for you the doctor had to go up the canyon t'other night. But you'll be all right in day or two, Enough you got pretty badly bruised.
 What about the car?"

Here's an offering that all checker players-and even some chess players-will make short work of. A college professor could solve this in three minutes.
 The picture presents seven spaces. Place three pennies on the dark spaces and three dimes on the light spaces. The center space is blank. The problem is to move the three pennies into the spaces occupied by the three dimes and. the dimes into the position of the pennies. You can move only one space at a time and you can jump" only one coin at a time and of course you can only jump" dime with a penny or vice versa. You cannot move back wards.

 Possessed of great pair of hands Brick averaged 63 yards on his losses in 1920, and was the talk of the country the following year, when Ohio State went west to engage the Bears in the Rose Bowl game.
 In that famous intersectional clash.

One thing about the plant that
should please the grower is that, once
established, there is an assurance of
several years Of asparagus before an
other planting is necessary. Another
is that the ground may be used for an
other crop, providing it has a shallow
root system.
Almost any well-drained, fertile soil
is acceptable-the richer the better
1t prefers a climate where there is
enough cold weather to freeze the
ground about inches deep. Georgia
is as far South as it f1ourishes.
The new plants are grown from
seeds. A new bed or patch of aSpara-
gus may be set out, using year-old
crowns or plants with roots IS or 20

variety is the Mary Washington. She,
it seems, has learned to avoid rust,

The white or bleached stalks are OBJ

they may be cut down and burned.
