Homemade Pepper Pot
BY CHLOE JAMESON

When autoumn shows signs Of
settling down upon us =. then do
we enjoy most heartily the inspir-
ing scent Of o highly seasoned
dish like old-fashioned pepper pot
"a mans dish II ever there was
one, and never so delicious as
when freshly made at home.
There are a good many ingredi-
ents in the true pepper pot; but
1t Is not an especially dif11cult
soup to make. Hearty enough,
too, to furnish the main course
for one Of the mid-week meals.
A nice crisp salad Of mixed greens
with French dressing and fresh
rolls are all the extras needed un-
TIL time for dessert which can
be something as satisfying as

TYoW often 1t seems that desserts
are passed over with an entire
lack Of interest from the family or
guests. It's disheartening! And Of
course, 1t is SO often due to the sat
1sfying dishes that have been served
ahead Of the dessert course. But, we
think this is q dessert that will

good substitute for Coffee or tea
for guests who do not drink slim

Grapefruit juice, orange Juice, lime

ARCHITECTS NOTE
TRAINING EFFECTS
QUESTIONABLE Reports Show
Individual Talent to Be
More important.

Competence of young architects de-
pends more upon individual talent
than upon the nature Of their training,
according to replies to questionnaire
sent to practicing architects Of the
New York area by the Committee on
Education of the New York Chapter
Of the American Institute OF Archi-
tects.
The committee, Of which John G. B.
Moore is chairman, sought information
concerning the capacities of recent
graduates OF architectural schools as
measured by their ability to meet the
demands OF current Office practice.
The largest number Of practitioners
are engaged in designing small houses
"a field in which the greatest number
of failures occur, it was found. Undue
emphasis on modern architecture was
another complaint against the schools,
which were also criticized for over
stressing the artistic aspects of archi-
lecture.
There was fairly general agreement
that cultural background and training
in broad principles provided by the
best architectural schools give their
graduates certain advantages over
men without these, at least at the
beginning of their practical work, "
says the committees report.
Several suggestions were received,
urging that additional instruction of
this type be included in the curricular
of the schools. On the other hand,
a few comments expressed the opposite
view, taking the position that self
trained men were not only better
equipped with practical experience, but
had greater ability to coordinate all
aspects of their profession in practice.
The great weakness among gradu-
ates was uniformly conceded to be lack
Of practical knowledge, both Of de-
tailed information and of procedure
and management. Some opinions ex-
pressed the criticism that the schools
focused too much attention on the
artistic aspects of architecture, pro-
ducing men who were one-sided in
this respect. and not infrequently
limited in their interest to modern
architecture exclusively.
Some answers criticized the schools
for placing too much emphasis on pre-
sentation Other comments, under
the heading of defects Of training,
were inaccuracy. lack of precision, poor
workmanship, slowness, poor Judgment.

DECLINE is NOTED
IN FORECLOSURES
Fewer Made on Non.Farm Real
Estate During First Five
Months of Year.

Foreclosures on non-farm real estate
during the first five months of this
year were 23.1 per cent below those
recorded during the corresponding
period of 1887, the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board announced today.
Declines we're registered IL each Of
the II Federal Home Loan Bank dis
tricts, indicating national rather
than any sectional downward move
ment in foreclosures. The declines
ranged fromm 399 per cent In the
Little Rock district to 80 per cent in
the Portland (Oreg) district.
The May foreclosure rate was slightly
higher than that of April. Numeri-
cally, there were 1892 non-farm real
estate foreclosures in May and 10.83o
in April. but the May rise this year
was slightly less than the average in
crease of 2.7 per cent in May over
April during the last four years.
Foreclosures in the Pittsburgh dis
trlct pennsylvania, Delaware and
West Virginia) were primarily respon-
sible for the higher foreclosure rate
during May, the board stated. While
the Winson-Salem, Cincinnati and
Little Rock districts also reported in
creases that month, the other eight
bank districts disclosed recessions
ranging from 42.8 per cent in the
Portland district to IL per cent in
the Boston district. In relation to
their respective four-year averages,
the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Little
Rock districts alone showed unfavor-
able comparisons
May increases in 20 States and the
District Of Columbia aggregated 1854
foreclosures. Pennsylvania accounted
for 54S of these. of which 32s repre-
sented the Philadelphia rise. De-
creases in 27 States totaled 912 cases.
One State showed no change.

BRICK WALLS PROTECTED

Unfinished brick walls should be
covered at night with boards, canvas
or tar paper as a protection against
weather and the absorption Of ex-
cessive moisture or excessive drying in
hot weather.
When the walls are finished they
should be thoroughly cleaned and
washed down. For washing away
eft1orescence a S per cent solution OF
muriatic acid may be used, followed
BY a washing with clear water.

The small-house field, it was
pointed out, absorbs the largest number
Of practitioners, and generally results
in the largest number OF ineficiencies

offering the greatest opportunity for

The greatest points OF strength
noted were vision, Imagination, intel

to make good presentation drawings,
good Judgment, good taste, impatience
with accepted forms and ambition.
