Reserves Are Increased
In Suvinqs and Looms

Reserves in savings and loan asso-
Citations have increased relative to
the share capital in the last several
years, according to the report of the
Committee on Economic Policies of
the United States Building and Loan
League. At present the reserve ratio
is estimated by the committee at be-
tween and 8 per cent of share and
deposit liability. This compares with
an average of little more than 4
per cent which prevailed between
1920 and 1880.

War Seen as Spur
To Large-Sca|e
Housing Projects
Professor Points to
Psychological influences
UnIeoshed in Aftermath

War is generally spur to the con-
struction of large-scale housing
projects, according to DR.. Paul
fucker. professor of the history of
architecture at Cooper Union, New
York City.
Marriages. the foundation of
families, tend to increase during
times of warfare, interest in home
like environment is stimulated, and
people. for the most part, become
more willing to dispense with lux
ury and small conveniences in or
der to have their own homes" de-
clares DR.. Fucker If America is Sue
cessful in maintaining its neutrality
1t is probable that housing after
the war will receive an impetus
from the Government. DR.. Fucker
says, which will be seeking a means
OF absorbing the vast number of
workers who during the conflict will
be employed directly or indirectly
with the munitions industries and
other enterprises furnishing mate
rails for the belligerents. Any kind
of Government aid for building, he
adds, will be one of the relatively
easiest and most practical ways of
solving the unemployment problem
here when peace is declared
Inertia Overcome.
Basing his opinion on experiences
In postwar Germany where he was
dean of the faculty of fine arts
IN the University of Leasing, Berlin,
and professor of the history of ar
chitecture at the State Academy for
the Figurative Arts from 1918 until
1888. when he lost both chairs with
the advent of the Nazi regime, DR..
Fucker asserts that the inertia Gre
ated by the indifference of people
toward large-scale housing pro-
grams is greatly decreased by the
psychological and sociological in
duences growing out of war.
Following the World War, the
strengthening of organized housing
was apparent In almost every Eu-
ropean country, he points out. This

ing the struggle as we'll of the bellig-
erents.
projects were usually supported
by state funds" DR.. Fucker con-
tinues, although private enterprise,
aided by state loans at low rates
OF interest, took some part. Appro-
priation of money for housing was
facilitated and prosecution of the
work made simpler because the gov
ernments were spending so much
for rehabilitation that budgets for

building seemed almost insignificant
by comparison. Also, every kind of
RECOMMENDATION and standardization
was easier to bear as the people
had become disciplined to it by the
measures of the war;"
Architecture Affected.
Stylistically, architecture is in
f1uenced by war in two ways. DR..
Fucker says, first by the advent
of new ruling class, and second by
the difficult economic situation, a
result of the cost of the conflict.
Social revolutions and shiftings
of the different social strata which
are inevitable after war automatic
ally bring notifications in formal
expression. The new ruling group
usually strives to emphasize and
accentuate its rise to power by in
cooperating pomp and pretension
in its buildings and homes. It is
an effort of the group to prove its
adaptation to higher place in the
social order. The pomp and pre-
tension are substitutes for the lack
of former heritage.
I'm direct contrast, many people,
following a war. who either as the
result of the death of their sup
porter, or for other reasons, find
it necessary to modify their style
of living, try to substitute for the
richness of their former environ
ment by turning to simpler. more
modern and functional forms Of
architecture.
Experiments Guide Check.
These two distinct trends in ar
chitecture characteristic of the after
math of war are indicated, although
the formal development of style in
postwar eras is opposed by a re-
luctance to experiment, by a GER
tain feeling of tiredness and by a
preference for the old-homey child
hood forms of architecture.

and always will be, the least change
able branch of the arts. There is
a difference in the rapidity by which
the various fields of art are af-
fected by war. On one extreme we
have the written word, or literature;
on the other, architecture. The
financial investment necessary in
building and the heavy, complex
character of materials employed
are all in opposition to any sharp
variation in the slow, methodical

Manners
of the
Moment

Last week I ran into a friend of
mine in an office building elevator,
and she looked positively haunted.
I'm trying to meet my husband y
she explained. And I've been at
It for Is minutes now" Every time
she went up to his office. they said
he had just left, and was looking
for her. So then she would go down
to stand by the entrance to the
building, only to discover that he
had waited and then had just
trekked off to some other spot where
he thought she might be.
I hope they both finally decided
to go home I'd hate to think of
them still YEARLY riding up and
down that Office elevator.
OF course, the only way to solve
this great marital difficulty is for
one of you always to stay put. Let
one wander, if he thinks he has the
wrong place. But agree that one
of you will always stay where K
marks the spot. Also it might be
well to get it in writing that you
are going to meet at certain place
at a certain time. And one more
point. if you could just make up
your mind that your partner is more
likely to remember the right spot
and the right hour than to forget
1t, you'll be much more likely to run
into each other. Most people work
on the theory that every one else in
the world has weak memory.

Certainly the chief wall that we
hear from middle-aged wives is
that their husbands have ceased
to kiss them. They have no other
grievance Their husbands are kind
and faithful and good providers.
They are long on all the material
things, but they are short on oscula-
ton. And so their wives beat upon
their breasts and rend the air with
their lamentations.
This is all the more strange when
OUR observation of the standardized
domestic kiss does not seem to lend
it much allure for either the
kisser of the kissee. A man arises
from the breakfast table from which
there has probably been a spat over
Johnny not eating his cereal, or
leaving some more market money.
With his mouth full of ham and
eggs and his mind filled with the
necessity of catching the 7:45 train,
he bestows a perfunctory peck on
his wife who turns the back of her
ear to receive it. while she tries to
eat with one hand and hold the baby
with the other and make out her
marketing list in her mind. Why
any one should desire to give or
receive such kiss, goodness only
knows.
My own idea is that the sacred
ness of the family kiss should be
debunked. 1t should be recognized
for the hollow mockery it is. There
should be fewer kisses between hus-
bands and wives and better ones.
They shouldn't consider it an obli-
CATION to kiss when they are feeling
more like biting each other. They
should wait until the mood. the
tenderness, the sense Of dearness
and nearness is upon them, and
then their kisses would be fire on
their lips and a precious memory
in their hearts. One such kiss is
worth a million duty pecks.
