America's Architecture.
(From a Letter to the New York
Times.)
It is a well known fact that one"
often lives and works in the midst
of some great political or artistic
movement without really appreciat-
ing just What is taking place.
’I'hat the United States has been
going through a great renaissance in
architecture during the past twenty—
tive years is just now being recog-
nized abroad. In the opinion of
many foreign observers the work or:
the Amencan architect tar outshines .
that or any other country during the
same period. ‘
Some ten or twelve years ago.
Ruppert Brooke. that gifted young,
English poet who now lies, buried
"in a corner of a iorelgn field that.
is toreVer England." on the water-‘
washed shores ot the island of Sky»;
ros. wrote that among America's;
lee greatest achievements could b.
would 77777777undoubtcdiy agree that of all
America's achievements her greatest f
is her architecture greater than her:
literature, greater than her painting.

f In :1. preceding article in this
series some of the general facts
pertaining to building and loan as-
sociations were stated. Because of
the varying laws under which these
associations operate it: the different
states. it is not pomfible to give de-
tails which apply to all or them.
it will help.howevcr. toward under-
Bstanding the methods it: the case of
one association. operating in Ncwi
York state .is taken' for illustration!
There are two classes of mom-i
bers. those who borrow and thosev
.“ho simply save. It is the funds
of the latter which make possible
: the loans to the former. There are
live kinds of shares, one those rc-
gquiring a specified sum to be paid
each month and the other one on
which any amount may be deposit-
ed at any time. The dividends paid
1 on the first class are 6 per cent. and
@0105}: on the second close 5 per
:ccnt. It is surprising how rapidly
money accumulates when dividends
are compounded every six months
even at only 5 per cent. It 81.00 a
month is saved the total in 1‘”.
months will amount to $201.58. I!“
the rate is 6 per cent. the gain, of
icourse. is more rapid.
Loans are made to members only
and the mortgages are paid otI by
monthly installments of 1 per cent.
covering both interest and reduc-
tion or principal arid requiring elex-
on years and seven months to pay
oil the entire indebtedness. In the
case of tree shares, that is the
shares or members who are not her.
:rowers. withdrawals may he made
at any time although it the with-
drewsls are made before the shares
are five years old s. portion at the
credited dividends is forfeited. This
loss may be saved. however. it the
member wants temporary accomo-
dation only by borrowing from the
association putting up his pass-book
as security. In this way he may se-
cure up to 90 per cent. or the value
of his account. Later when he pays
off the loan his interest in the as-
sociation is unimpaired.
W'hen a member borrows to build
a house the association. examines
and approves the plans and pays
the contractor in installments as
the building progresses. This par-
ticular association helps-its mem-
bers by supplying plane and specifi-
cations tor prospective home bulld-
ings at a nominal cost. This is very
advantageous to those looking ex-
perience o rcontldence in their own
ability to select an architect. The
fact that the association is willing
to matte a loan on “the proposed
building is also an endorsement of‘
the reasonableness of the cost of the
proposed building. As has been
stated diaerent unseciations have
lugs and as to loans. ~. 7

Tobacco and Athletics.
(“'orccster Telegram.)
On Monday in “'orcester 21 speak- .
er told a Christian Endeavor con-E
volition that an athlete could not be
a good or. Christian athlete if he
smoked. The speaker was once a
college athlete himself and was a:
member of the American Olympic
team in 1920. Those Circumstances
lent. weight to his words. "
He called smoking " a dirty. stink
lng, expensive. and useless habit."
He predictedvthat tobacco will go
the way of liquor. "It may not be
for fifty years. but tobacco is going,
just the same " he said.
On the same day in Boston a. man
named Mcllor “on the American
Marathon. the annual feature event
of the Boston Athletic Association.
He began the race with a. generous
chew of tobacco stowed away in
his cheek. The first thing he asked
ed for. utter he had crossed“ the line
victorious. was a. cigar.
\Ve are certain 'that Mellor is a
good athlete. He could not have
won. were he not.— As to whether
he is a Christian athlete we cant
say. He is from Chicago.
