ARCHITECTS GET
ACCOUNT|NGPLAN
System Adopted by Institute
Is Described as Pioneer
Work.

The American Institute of Archi-
tects has oficially adopted stand
ard accounting system for architects
developed by Edwin Bergstrom of Los
Angeles, treasurer of the institute, and
described as pioneer work in the field
Of architectural practice"
"The issuance of this system indi-
Gates the architects intention to
maintain his proper position Of dorni-
nance in the building operation" says
an announcement by the institute.
'It marks recognition Of the fact
that an architects function is much
more comprehensive than is generally
known.
"At present uniform and accurate
data for intelligent comparisons OF the
costs of rendering the various archi-
tectural services do not exist. The
system, which has been in prepara-
ton for the past five years, will pro-
duce an accurate, informative and in
telligible statement of the financial
condition of a business at any date
and of the results of its operations for
the past periods.
Work Hinges on Others.
1.-THE architect is engaged in the
practice of a profession wherein he
Is dependent on others for the op-
portunity to create his art and give
it form and substance. For such op-
portunity he is dependent upon the
conditions that obtain In the indus
trial world, and for its successful con-
clusion he must rely upon his skill in
administering the enterprise as well
as upon his skill in applying his art.
The manner in which he administers
the enterprise is the gauge of his busi-
ness standing.
"Only by means of uniform ac-
counting system can the architectural
profession accurately determine and
compare the prevalent costs Of per-
forming its various functions and
know quite certainly what the cost
of doing any particular type of archi-
tectural work should be.
Until such universal cost data are
available, the architect cannot de-
termine with confidence what he
should receive as compensation for
doing any such work. With such
data available, it may come about that
the traditional scheme of charges now
prevailing in the profession will be
modified or discarded"
Summary Of System.
The system includes:

tects," embracing the principles Of

SO0THE EYES, NERVES
Blue, Green and Violet Held Best
in Color Scheme.

The colors blue, green and violet
soothe the eyes and nerves because
they reflect little light, but yellows
and reds have an opposite effect,
according to Charlotte Brennan Of
the New York State College Of Home
Economies.
When using pure yellows and reds
IN color scheme, she says, it is best
to use them in small amounts or
softened with gray, white or violet.
These light-refectiing colors, how
ever, If used in interior decoration,
can stimulate the atmosphere Of
room without being hard on the eyes.

WORLD FARLEY
PROSPECTS dim
Map Conference to Include
Only Five LoCarno
Pact Powers.
By United Press

By United Press
LONDON, March 21.-Prospect of
a world conference on economic and
financial matters as part of peace
consolidation program faded today
into the most remote future.
A high British authority disclosed
that a conference planned by the
Locarno Treaty powers in May
would include only the Locarno
powers-Great Britain, France, Bel
GUM, Italy and Germany.
If this conference succeeded, then
only would a general assemblage of
nations be convened to study world
problems.
Prospects for compromise among
the Locarno powers on the propos-
ais made to Germany by Britain,
France, Belgium and Italy increased
materially today.
After the revelation by Joachim
Won Ribbentrop, chief German dele
gate here, that Germany would con-
slider an appeal to the Hague Court
on the compatibility of the Locarno
and French Russian military trea-
ties, a British spokesman let it be
known that France has not fatty re-
fused to permit international troops
to be stationed on her soil.
Hence the possibility was forseen
of extending a narrow demilitarized
zone on either side of the French
Belgian, German frontiers. Such a
zone, if fixed, would endure only for
two months, British spokesman
said, and would be ended at once if
the Locarno negotiators at their
May conference succeeded in attain
ing an agreement. AS soon as the
agreement was made Germany
would return to the League.

State officials were reluctant IT,
discuss the case,. but several Sid
they did not believe the far-res.ch-
ing Social Security Act is impaired
permanently.
The omitted amendment, one in
sisted upon by Federal officials,
dealt with appeals from benefits
awarded by the State Compensa-
ton Board, it was said. Inasmuch
it is pointed out, the benefits to
be paid under the act will not be
available for two years, the mis-
take can be corrected in the regular
session of the Legislature next year.
Part Stricken Out
Part of the amendment was
stricken out during final concur
renee by both the House and Sen
ate. The House enrolling room, it
was said, struck out all of the
amendment in enrolling the act.
The Office of Atty. Gen. Philip
Lutz Jr. has been asked for an
opinion as to his future action by
Secretary of State August E. Muel-
Ter, it was learned.
1t is his duty to print legislative
acts from the enrolling bill. Or
dinarily, when typographical or
other mistakes of a minor nature
occur in enrolling an act, the Sec
rotary of State may correct the err
rors by brackets.
Error May Be Corrected
Where the intent of the Legis-
lature is obvious, the error is COR
rected between the brackets.
Omission of section from the
uniform salaries act of 1891 resulted
in the law being held unconstitu-
tional because no provision was
made for Shelby County, and the
law consequently was said to be
special legislation.
It is unlikely that the unem-
ployment insurance law could be so
held because of the omission, it
is said, since the omitted Amend
ment deals with question. that
could not be raised until the pay
inent of job benefits starts.

Red Cross Pushes Drive for

By United Press
WASHINGTON, March 81.
Doctors, nurses and trained
disaster workers were rushed
to f1ood-stricken areas today
to prevent outbreak of seri-
Gus epidemics among more
than 100000 persons driven
from their homes.
President Roosevelt today allocat-
ed $25, 000, 900 to the Works Progress
Administration for repair or re-
placement of public-owned property
or utilities which have been de-
stroyed or damaged by floods.
The ALLEGATION was made as the
President postponed for the third
time the start of his Florida vaca-
ton, remaining in the capital to
direct all agencies of government
in providing relief for flood dam-
aged regions.
This ALLEGATION, which is in adj
dition to an emergency allotment
of $18,411, 633 made Feb. 20, will
be apportioned to the stricken states
as needed, the White House ex-
planned.
Mr. Roosevelt placed WPA and
CCC facilities, the Army, Navy and
Coast Guard at the disposal of re-
lief directors, who were given
blanket authority to use men and
money as needed.
Typhoid Serum Rushed
The Red Cross sent more than
$50 disaster relief workers into a
dozen states while thousands of
volunteers solicited contributions to
100000 fund to finance flood
relief. Clothing, food and medicine
were needed in many places.
DR.. William F. Draper, acting sur
geon general of the United States
Public Health Service, dispatched IL
physicians and sufficient typhoid
serum to treat 5000 persons into
Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Scattered rains over portion of
the Southern flood area caused new
fears today. The Shenandoah Riv-
er was rising again in Virginia, but
the situation was not critical.
Montrose w. Hayes, chief of the
Weather Bureaus river and flood
division, warned that the Ohio Riv-
er would be at flood stage for at
least another week before the crest
moved into the Mississippi River.
There appears little likelihood of a
repetition of the disastrous 1927
flood, however, he said.

Ohio River folk prepared
today to protect themselves
against rising waters.
They have been warned that the
crest of the flood which proved so
disastrous in Pittsburgh and other
cities this week, would reach In

All relief agencies marshalled
their forces to take care of refugees
from the lowlands. The general
opinion in Evansville and Cincin-
natl is that the crest will cause no
serious property damage unless
there are heavy rains over the
weekend.
