dows all on the bias All Of this we
have called modern" by which we
meant that it was not traditional.
What it will be called in the next CEN
tury will be interesting to note. For
our own convenience suppose We call
1t Goth century style now.
The best architects. whether in
trigued by the charm of the new ideas
or Mortified at such dreadful examples
and fired to improve them, have just
begun to touch on the real beauty
back of the idea of house that ex-
presses our lives as we live them today.
To these plans have been given the
best intelligence that modern engi-
neering. science and art has to offer,
combined with an exterior that is
efficient, functional and adequate in
its environment.
Space-that commodity that be-
comes more expensive In the larger
cities as the centuries roll on-is
utilized down to the last inch. Where
space does not count, the illusion OF 1t
is provided by many artiflces known
to the trade. Where space is, it is en-
larged by large unbroken areas OF
pleasing, restful texture and color.
MATERIALS are many and varied,
4'A depending in some cases on the
countryside. A field stone house
emerges naturally from rocky hill
side. shiplap covered with painted
canvas makes a seaside cottage,
painted brick tops barren Colorado
hilltop. cement and glass bricks belong
IN a fashionable suburb of large city.
Every material We have ever known
and many We have never heard OF are
used. Wood fiber wall sheathing, hard
pressed into sheets like steel, make
very thin walls with great structural
strength and are easily finished with
out the use of plaster.
Acoustical plaster that takes up
noise like a sponge prevents jangling
sounds from reaching tired nerves.
Sound -proofing goes between walls
only two inches thick to keep the other
fellows radio from reaching your ears,
while insulating materials and air.
conditioning machines make Florida
and Lake Placid meet your own living
room. These are only few Of the
things that have contributed their
share to a new pattern, new design
for living.
All Of our preconceived ideas on
what it takes to make house are
thrown out, and We start from new
premise. What is it that we need and
want. first, second and third, and how
can we make it work perfectly so that
it functions day in and day out with
the least possible time, effort, first
cost and upkeep.
When you know that your house can
start working for you while you sleep
by pressing button before you 60 to
bed at night it would be foolish to
plan a furnace room, coal room and
janitor's quarters. When you know
that an air-conditioning plant will
give you perfect ventilation at any
degree of temperature, you know that
the placing of doors and windows and
the number of them is important only
from an esthetic standpoint All of
the ideas We grew up with are thrown
in a heap. Small wonder it has taken
so long TO get out of these plans the

Answer-Forget It, Go down on
your knees and thank God that you
escaped marrying such man in
stead of beating on your breast and
bemoaning your loss
The most amazing thing on earth
is the ability women have to make
themselves miserable over things that
they should rejoice over. They seem
not to be able to differentiate be-
tween good luck and bad. so you
see them shedding tears over the
death of a husband who has never
been anything but disgrace and a
sorrow to them, and breaking their
hearts over the unfaithfulness Of
some worthless philanderer when they
should be willing to pay any woman
good money to take him of their
hands.
That is your case, and instead OF
mingllng my tears with yours, all
I can do is to urge you to use some
gumption in the matter. All that you
can do is to recognize that you are
rid of bad rubbish before marriage
and will not have to go. through the
mess of a divorce suit. For your

There was no excuse for the be-
havior of Riddle and Conway on
Saturday They tWo-timed the pub
lie in most thorough manner when
they named their famed four-year-
old to run against Pompoon and
Shark and the others In the Sub
urban, and then, with the record
crowd of the season present to
watch him go, refused to allow him
to start,
They gave a muddy track as the
reason for the scratching, but this
doesn't stand up because the course
was in far worse condition on Fri
day, the day they definitely said
he would go. And Shark. in run
ming the mile and quarter in
2:01 2-5, the fastest time in the
history of the Suburban, proved
that the track was in perfect COLI
dition.
But heaven knows, War Admiral
had nothing to do with the poor
craftsmanship of his stable. 1t was
mt Man O. Wars boy who refused
TO have a 60 at 1t. He shouldn t
be diScredited. Even those who
jeered him know. If they would
only stop to think, that had he
been started he would have run
with the last ounce Of power in
his chunky little body been try
ing with all he had right down
to the tape.
Has he ever quit? Has he ever
"dogged" it? Not the Admiral. II
makes those of us who saw the
little fellow in the Belmont last
year boil bit TO read insinua-
tions that the Admiral "ducked" the
issue. Remember that race? Few
champions in any sport have ever
put on such show of courage as
the Admiral did that afternoon.
Running on the outside, he had
taken no more than a few steps
from the barrier when he cut HIM
self. tearing a chunk of flesh the
size Of filet mignon from one of
his forelegs But it didn't even
slow him up. Leaving a trail of
blood behind him. the Admiral
rocketed around the track In world s
record time to win by many lengths.
I don't want to get maudlin. but
I'll bet you that if Admiral had
had his say ON Saturday he would
have been at the post, mud or no
mud, ready to pit his speed and
strength against anything that hap
pened to be out on the track.
War Admiral's withdrawal from
the Suburban came at a very bad
time. Only a few days before his
match race with Seabiscuit. which
had intrigued an entire nation. was
called off. And the postponements
Of the Ross s-Armstrong fight. an
other natural had sharpened the
temper Of the sporting public.
