FURTHER INCREASE
IN BUILDING SEEN
Costs Not to Impede Recov.
cry, Director of Archi-
tects' Unit Says.

Costs will not impede building re-
covery, Gerrit j. De Gelleke Of Mil
waukee, director of the Illinois Wis
consin division Of the American Insti-
tute of Architects, predicts in report
of architectural and construction ac-
tivity in that area.
IT am firmly of the opinion that
right before us lies . number Of years
full Of promise and prosperity" de-
clares Mr.. De Gelleke.
The present upward move began
very slowly in 1884, he points out,
and only recently has been gathering
momentum. Federal outlays for pub
lie works was Of great assistance in
getting the building industry started,
and any restriction Of this form of
spending will probably be Offset by
necessary construction undertaken by
States and municipalities with their
own resources. according to De Gelleke.
Every encouraging are the records
Of the past year which indicate that
private work continues to grow" Mr..
De Gelleke says. Actually, private
work increased approximately 100 per
cent in 1886 over 1885, while in the
same period the total amount Of build
ing rose only 20 per cent.
Costs have not been reduced to any
great extent nor is it likely that there
will be any lowering Of them. There
is, however, the probability that they
will remain fairly stable so that rising
costs will not stop the advance Of the
industry. Income from buildings has
increased, creating an incentive to
venture upon construction projects.
Undoubtedly we are on the thresh.
old Of decided advance in the build
ing industry, and opportunities for the
members Of the architectural profess
sion will multiply. The need for
houses of moderate cost is great. Thi,
portion of the building industry hal
hardly been touched by architects, YET
by training and background they are
best equipped to study the problem
and handle IT in a satisfactory man
ner.
"The use Of good materials in q
simple, economical manner, well pro-
portioned, and Of good design and
usable plan can only be accomplished
after study by able designers. The
architect will provide solution OF
this problem.
"There is a great and definite need
for low-rental housing projects
Through the, P. w. A. the Federal
Government has taken the lead in
this field and has demonstrated what
can be doile. Undoubtedly it has not
attained all its aims, but the feasibil-
ity of this type of project has been
shown, and private enterprise has be-
come interested, opening up a large
future for the industry and for archi-
tects.
I'm this connection, one Of the basic
requirements is readjustment Of the
tax burden. The present method Of
penalizing every effort made to i'm
prove housing conditions creates q
tremendous obstacle to progress, and
the question Of a Just distribution OF
the burden Of taxes must be studied.
"Inasmuch as incomes are dependent
upon the activities of and the oppor-
tunities Of communities, it follows
that q tax on income Is just and
equitable. I suggest that this matter
be made the subject Of thorough re-
search"

A T LAST-a place at the back Of
~ of your lavatory big enough to
~ hold soap, washcloth, tooth
= paste, cold cream or anything
else you want to set down while you
are performing the morning ablutions!
The greatest trouble with lavatories
Of the past has been their narrow rim,
offering no smooth expanse of vitreous
china or porcelain enamel to hold your
belongings. But now that the faucets
and spouts have moved from the sides
of the bowl to the center, there is
enough fiat space to suit the most in
veterate cream, lotion and paste-user.
One new line of lavatories has a
center fixture with faucets and spout
In one integral assembly; at either side
is large, smooth surface, which serves
as shelf. The same basin with regular
trimmings has a faucet in the center
of what should be each shelf, breaking
up the usable surface so that nothing
larger than a tube of tooth paste would
fit right or left Of each faucet. Look
ing at the two styles of lavatory, you
wonder why the manufacturers never
thought of this before. Surely space
at the back of the small lavatory has
always been at premium!
The center fixture is good to look
at, besides being a space-saving fea-
ture. The spout Is raised above the
rim of the basin-preventing back
siphonage and there Is either pop-up
waste or a chain-and-stopper, depend
ing on which you prefer.
The lavatories in either vitreous
china or porcelain enamel on cast iron
come in IL colors, besides white. Some
have chromium legs and towel bars at
the sides, some open shelves below the
basin, with smooth doors and chronl-
ium handles; others come to be hung
right from the wall. But all have the
center fixture with its gift of space on
either side of the back of the basin.

AMERICAN LOOP. FEATURES FOUR; RED SOxLEAD
Chicago and Brooklyn at Top and Bottom, Less
 Than 5 Games Apart
BY LESLIE AVERY

United Press Stan CprrespOndent.)
 New York, May 6.-(UP)-The fourth week of major league base ball competition began today with .he national campaign still 8 wide open chase and all eight clubs pos- sible pennant contenders. The situ- ation is somewhat different in the American league where the race ap- parently has narrowed down to three or four teams, although the others cannot be counted out yet.
 In the senior circuit only four and one-half games separate the league leading Chicago Cubs from the tail- end Brooklyn Dodgers. The St. Louis Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Pir- ates, tied for second place, are only a half game out of the lead.
 The Boston Red Sox are showing the way in the American with 10 and a half games between them and the last place St. Louis Browns.
 However, the Red Sox are not making a runaway race out of 1t. The New York Yankees have kept exactly @ half game behind them since they went into the lead April 29. The Cleveland Indians, former leaders, are only g game behind the Yankees.
 Lefty Grove, in 'chalking up his fifth victory and third shutout of the season for the Red Sox, yes- terday blanked the Tigers 2 to Q.
 Pat Malone, making his initial start of the season, struck out nine men as the New York Yankees sunk the St. Louis Browns 8 to ?. The new murderers row-Gehrig, Rolfe, Dickey and Di Maggio-got B of the Yanks' IS base hits.
 With two out and two men on base Wally Moses hit Q home run in the 10th to give the Philadelphia Athletics an 8 to 5 win over the Chicago White Sox.
 Thorton Lee allowed but six and the Cleveland Indians defeated the Washington Senators 6 to to sweep the three-game series.
 National league leadership was taken by the Cubs when they took advantage of five errors and whipped the Philadelphia Phillies 5 to 4.
 Yhe Cardinals toppled into sec- onA place tic with Pittsburgh as they were shut out l to 0 by the Boston Bees.
 The Pirates shut the Brooklyn Dodgers out to 0 when Big Jim Weaver allowed but four hits.
 Although Manager Bill Terry con. nccted for a triple, his fourth hit in six pinch hitting attempts this year, it was not enough to keep the Gi- ants from getting beat 5 to ? by the Cincinnati Reds.
 YESTERDAYS HERO w a fly Moses, Philadelphia Athletic center fielder, who hit Q home run in the 10th inning with two men on base and two out to give the As 6 vic- tory over Chicago.
