Architectural Forum
Cites Lotery's Four
Guiding Principles

A new technique for planning
and building small-town and sub
urban shopping centers has been
successfully used in the United
States by Edward Lottery of New
York, formerly of London, the Ar
chitectural Forum reports today.
Until the fall OF 1888, when he
came to this country, Mr.. Lottery
specialized in shopping centers In
London, organizing and construct
ing more than 80 during the previous
decade. His technique involves four
major principles.
l. That suburban areas should
be planned shopping districts in
stead of haphazard building.
2. That such planning must be
tailor made for each project on the
basis Of an exhaustive study OF the
needs Of each community.
3. That the construction job itself
should be both useful and attrac-
tive.
4. That cheap materials or cheap
workmanship will cost more than

Pilophorus
BY LILLIAr- COX ATHEY.

In the plant world there are many
important neighbors who are little
known to the average person pass
ing them. Yet each of the lichens
is playing a vital part in the place
in which it is established.
If you admire the soft grays, green's
and colds of these plants to be found
on the trunks of trees. rocks, ground
and such places, you are aware OF
them because of your love of ma
ture. Perhaps you have gone deeper
into the matter and learned some
thing of the mission ichens play
in reduction of decaying matter in
valuable soil.
Usually the time to see the most
beautiful specimens is when the
weather is warm and moist-perfect
growing periods for the lichen.
Really rainy days are the ideal ones
to visit the woods, especially where
there are oak trees. to become bet
ter acquainted with the exquisite
coloring, delicately branched stalks
and dividing lobes and the orange,
red and black colors Of the fruiting
bodies.
What is a lichen? The first man
to 60 deeply into the question was
scientist named Schwendener, who
believed that this plant was in real
ity a combination of two plants,
"alga" and fungus" AS you know
algae are very common. and found
as green scum on ponds, slow-go-
trunks. Fungi are also well-known.
They are cottony. weblike mold
and mildew, which most of us have
seen.
The algae are green and there
fore manufacture plant food from
the carbon dioxide of the air. The
fungus secures its food from its host,
In this case the algae, and in return
for its food provides a place for the
host to live, protected from direct
contact with the outside air. So
happily do these plants live to-
gether that they appear as one, and
are called lchens.
There are thousands Of species
and there are as many habitats
They flourish wherever there is a
firm foundation. such as rocks, trees,
soil, buildings and the like. They
are cold resistent and droughts
mean nothing to them. When the
right medium is present for pros
perity, they swell out and continue
where they left of when "depres-
sion" came their way.
Their mode of extending their
borders in thrifty. When they are
dry because of the weather, the
plant is very brittle and shrivelled.

Divorce Rate Linked
To Price Movements

STATE COLLEGE. Pa.-Dr. M. E.
John, rural sociologist at Pennsyl-
vania State College, has discovered
an apparent relationship between
price movements and the divorce
rate.
When prices rose from 1914 to
1920, DR.. John says, the divorce rate
per 100000 persons in the United
States advanced from ITO to 100.
During the ensuing depression the
rate fell to 1913. but when prices in
creased, from 1882 to 1885, the rate
jumped to III.
