able for the payment of debts con-
tracted in the purchase of the land
and subsequent development, such as
the installation of street Improvements
and utilities to serve such land, the
erection of homes thereon and the
erection of neighborhood shops to
serve such community. When used
for the payment of such debts, such
earnings should be wholly exempt
from both the corporate surtax and
the personal holding company tax,
The association is concerned that
there be no disastrous unintentional
tax penalization of bona flde real
estate companies, for whom eco
nomically sound operation, particu-
larly in home building and the de-
velopment of residential neighbor-
hoods, often entails long-term oper-
atlonS in certain stages OF which un-
distributed surplus or earnings may
be represented largely by mortgage
paper or by unsold structures and
could not. without breaking the busi-
ness, be paid out as dividends. Heavy
and anti-social penalization would
occur if the percentage of their in
come represented by interest and
rent should under any circumstances
bring them under the classification Of
personal holding companies. The
1897 act contains provisions whose
paralyzing effect on the building in
dustry in general and on home build
ing in particular the association be-
lieves the trainers of the act did not
realize. In fact, the Joint Committee
of House and Senate in its loop-hole
plugging recommendations stated spe-
cifically that inclusion of the word
rents was being made in a way
which it was thought would not pen
alize bona fide and legitimate real
estate companies.
Asks Specific Exclusion.
The associations memorandum asks
specific exclusion from personal hold
ing company classification for all
active bona flde operating companies
regularly engaged in the building,
creating, developing and marketing
of their products and properties rea-
sonably necessary to the conduct of
their business in the manner in which
such business is customarily and US
ually conducted by others
Already specifically excluded from
personal holding company classifca-
ton according to the 1887 act are
banks, life insurance companies,

holding companies, corporations other

MATURITY IN ARTS
CLAIMED FOR j. s.
Development of National
Architecture Cited in Sup
port of Conclusion.

America has reached artistic ma
turity. Dean Leopold Arnaud of the
Columbia University School Of Ar
chitecture declares in his annual re-
port to DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler,
president OF the university. The devel-
opment Of national architecture
which Is no longer initiative and the
increasing tendency of European ar
chltectural students to study in the
United States are cited by Dean Ar
maud as proof that art and architec-
ture in this country have come of age.
Until relatively few years ago
American students fiocked to Europe
to study art and architecture. and
very few Europeans were interested
in coming here to further their ar
tlstic studies" Dean Arnaud says.
Europeans Come Here.
Within the last 10 or Is years this
state of affairs has changed consid-
erably, for now comparatively few
Americans are going to European
schools of architecture, while Euro
peans are beginning to come to the
United States not only for travel and
investigation but also for matricula-
ton in our schools. American archi-
ture has reached maturity. 1t is 10
longer colonial or an initiative ar
chitecture.
This Is an obvious fact, even
though contemporary architecture in
this country does resemble in many
respects the contemporary architecture
OF other countries. This international
resemblance occurred also during the
Gothic and Renaissance periods. Yet
these styles were variously developed
in the different countries as the social

building; for the artistic form today
does not depend upon applied decora-
ton but Is rather the expression Of
structure, material and interior ar
rangement Of space. These elements
determine the composition OF the
voids and solids and Of the general
mass. We can justly say that in plan
ming and also in mechanical equip
ment America is well in advance Of
most other national developments of
contemporary architecture"

OUTPUT REMAINS HIGH
IN SPITE OF STRIKES

The Commerce Department SAYS that
June industrial activity tended to
slacken under the influence of seasonal
factors and industrial disputes but the
output in most lines remained rela-
lively high"
The report adds:
"The major industrial dispute during
June-that involving certain independ-
ent steel companies-affected several
important industrial areas and caused
the rate Of ingot production to drop
from about 80 per cent Of capacity IN
May to about rs per cent in June.
THE decline in automobile produc-
tion during June was attributed partly
to industrial disputes, but q recession

NEW YORK, July 14.-Summer
somnolence seems TO have overtaken
the business of buying machinery, says
American Machinist today. In most
parts OF the country orders have
fallen off. Some shops have started
their seasonal shut downs, and ma
chinery dealers, following suit, are
taking the opportunity to give their
forces vacations. But behind the
high humidity there is strong con-
viction that this slackness is only
temporary: that resumption OF recov-
cry, the underlying urge to restore
operating efficiency and the evapora-
ton of much OF the present uncer-
tainty will see large-scale buying re-
sumed with the return OF cooler
weather.

SCHOOL GIRLS
FINALLY WHIP
CONVENT CLUB
BOYS SCHOOL VARSITY FIVE
TAKES FIRST DEFEAT OF
LEAGUE SEASON AS Eel
LOWSHIP OUTFIT WINS

When man thinks that all his
plans are fixed, that everything
win proceed as he has determin-
ed, then, as in the words of the
poet, he discovers Dame Fortune
is tickle gypsy!
Before game time last night
fans had just about determined
that the Convent Girls would de-
feat the High School Girls as they
have been doing the past few
years, and that the favored High
School varsity boys team would
ronp over the Fellowship Club in
the City League game
Fortune, in the shape of "Shor-
ty" Yates. star forward of the Fell
lowship Club, with an 18 point
scoring spree, and in the beauti-
full exhibition of goal digging"
of the star High School forwards,
tipped the scales. The Convent
girls, unbeaten for the last few
years, and the High School, un-
beaten in the League, were hum
bled in the dust, 25-12 and 1894,
respectively, beneath the swirling
skirts of the tickle dame.
The victories were the two big
upsets of the present basketball
season.
The league game was lallapa-
looza. Going into an early lead,
the Fellowship Club was over
hauled by nifty prep shooting,
and trailed at the half. They re-
NAMED behind the rest of the
way, then, just as in their exhibi-
ton game with the High School
they staged a final rally. This
time, however, the rally carried
them to a tie A basket by Art
man and a tying basket by Yates
knotted things again A few sec
onds later Edward Johnson, of the
Club, was fouled as the final
whistle blew. The calm Edwar-l
dius, for once, shot too hurriedly
and failed to gedunk the oval.
In the extra period 4 baskets by
Yates and Carbonell won the
game for the Clubbers. The
School Boys fought hard the ex-
ira period, but were already
whipped by the Clubs magnifi-
cent rally. J. V. Woodson was the
big shot of the High School sink
ing all kinds of toss 'em" shots
for his u point total. Domenech,
sure-shot School forward, dropped
II points for runner-up honors.
Artman was next highest scorer
for the Club with eight points.
Better floor work was big fac
tor in the, Schoolgirls win. They
continually intercepted passes
from the Conventeers. Brilliant
shooting by Ann Wise and Car
men MeBeth did the rest. The
Convent forwards made brilliant
tries, but it was not their night,
and the ball lust wouldn't sink"
time and again. Lillian Acevedo
for the Convent got eight points.
Carmen McBeth for the School
dropped Is points and Ann Wise,
II markers.
A large crowd packed the Gym
and were enthusiastic during the
games.
Next City League game will be
between the Fellowship Club and
the State Road Department,
fourth entry in the League, Tues
day night. 1t will be the last pre-
holiday game.
