Kahn Urges
Consideration
For Architects

Although the parecipation Of
government and industry in build
ing operations is desirable, the
actual work Of design and con-
struction should be delegated to
private architects. Albert Kahn Of
Detroit, fellow of the American
Institute Of Arts, declared Sat-
urday
A Stereotyped architecture and
the loss of professional initiative
are the consequences Of regimen
tation. Kahn. designer of many
n ia b g industrial structures,
pointed out.
"There can he no question
about the desirability, even
necessity, of gOVernmental-b

the carrying out OF building OPP
eratiOns," Kahn said. "This
statement applies equally 10 pri-
waite enterprise.
Familiarity with require
ments, the result of repeatedly
solving the same or similar
projects is invaluable in the de-
veIopment of plans, and the gov
eminent as well as private
industry would fail in their du-
ties IL proper agencies for dt-
recting the planning and con-
struction of buildings were not

Building Continuation

Continuation of home building
during the emergency is suggested
by the Plumbing and Heating In
duStrieS Bureau as a means of
steadying the national economy
and preventing extremes of boom
and dehation.

Selection important

The selection Of paint for styling
on brick, stucco and concrete calls
for care and experience, because
these difficult" surfaces require
paint Of unusual formulation. As
a result, the paint should be hand
mixed from the paste pigment and
pure vehicle ingredients TO obtain
a suitable product.

TABLE MANNERS

Dear Mrs. Post: Isn't a spoon
in an iced tea glass, or in a cold
drink Of any kind, while drinking
out Of the glass, as incorrect as
leaving a spoon in ones cup would
be
Answer: No. the two are not
quite alike. A cup is never served
without A saucer whereas a glass
as often as not has no plate under
il. at least usually not one with
sufficient rim TO put a spoon on il.
For this reason, the spoon is left
in the glass because there is no
other place to put il. A used
spoon. no matter how dry it is
made between the lips, can't be
put down on Ia bile. Apart from
the fact that only clean imple-
ments arc permitted on a dining
table, the thought that lip-wiped
spoon can be imagined TO be clean
and thus be put back with clean
silver explains why even a spoon
which may be put down on q soda
fountain counter must be put back
in the glass before leaving.

Affectation Steals Spotlight
From Loveliest Face and FIGURE

BY awkward poses and affected
gestures many women manage TO
conceal the fact that they have
good figures and graceful hands
and arms.
No matter how attractive and
well-proportioned your figure, you
cannot afford to have these pos
ture faults:
Leaning so far forward when
you dance that the upper half of
your body seems to be joined to
the lower half at right angles. You
can be relaxed, and therefore easy
TO lead. and at the same time stand
tall and straight.
Sitting with feet apart or with
legs crossed below the knees. When
legs are not crossed, feet should
be close together on the floor.
When they are, they should be
crossed well hove knees
