| DYMAXION' HOUSE 1AS ULTRA DESIGN Features Amaze Architectsj i* at Exhibit—Fashioned | ; on Yacht Plan. The model of a house, fashioned after | & vacht and having the features of a Suspension bridge, equipped with ultra- ultra-modern conveniences, designed to be sold for about $3,000 and capable of being assembled on a small plot of land. ‘was exhibited at the Mayflower Hotel In | eonjunction with the sixty-second an- | nual convention of the American In- stitute of Architects, which has just closed. Buckminster Fuller of Chicago, de- | signer of the novel structure, which he terms the “dymaxion house”—from the words dynamics, maximum and dimen- sion—holds numerous patents on the house plans. which include, as some of | the startling features, walls made of milk product that is translucent, pneu- matic floors, & hangar in the lower part, the whole declared to be earthquake and tornado proof, and equipped with radio. There isn't & brick or a stone in the whole place, for it is designed on the basis of dynamics. with duralu- min tubes, inflated like an automobile | tire to make them rigid, forming the | framework and the whole thing hung from a tri of duralumin masts, set in concreté. Viewed by Architects. Groups of architects passed through Mr. Fuller's room to hear him explain the manifold features of his unusual house and see first the skeleton form of the structure and then to view the | ‘working model and express wonderment | at this house which might be a previ- sion of the twenty-first century. Inhabitants of the dymaxion house, under the Fuller plan, could sleep with- out bed coverings, if desired, as a health | Mmeasure to enable air to reach the pores of the body, for it is equipped with air purifiers designed to eliminate dust and | the whole body of air is arranged to move slowly through the house, with- out drafts. ‘The house hag its own septic tank for sanitation, possesses its own generating plant and is heated by electricity and is thoroughly insulated. Casein, a by- product of milk and designed to be waterproof and acid proof and capable | of being made into various colors, forms the ouiside of the houss. The parti- | tions are a combination of utility and ‘wall construction. Under Mr. Fuller’s plan many of the things that one sssociates with the office are found in the “creative” por- tion of the structure, which corresponds to the library. . There is found the mimeograph, the typewriter and other. modern utilities. . The closets are de- signed on a revolving basis, so that the shelves, always keeping the same Jevel, will revolve upward to the eye and hand level, for convenience.

IO CONSIDERE AS FILPNOS HEAD General’s Appointment as Governor General of Philip- pines Pondered by Hoover. . Brig. Gen. Frank I. McCoy, U. 8. A. who has distinguished himself on sev- eral occasions by carrying out diplo- matic missions for the Government, and who is at present engaged in arbitrating the boundary dispute between Bolivia | and Paraguay, is known to be under | serious consideration for appointment as_governor-general of the Philippines, ‘Gen. McCoy's name was prominently mentioned at the time Henry L. Stimson resigned his post as governor-general to become Secretary of State in Mr. | Hoover's cabinet, but reports were cur- rent then that the latter would be averse to turning the administration of the islands over to a military officer. Mr, Hoover was then represented as preferring a civilian governor-general It has since been learned by the Pre: dent that there is a strong sentiment among the Filipinos as to a military man for a governor-general, and this is understood to have influenced President Hoover to the extent of taking Gen. McCoy under serious advisement. Gen. McCoy received the commenda- tion of the last administration for the successful manner in which he con- ducted the national elections in. Nica- ragua last Fall. Former Senator Wadsworth and Col. Theodore Roosevelt, jr., of New York are among a score of others who arc known to have been suggested to the President for appointment as governor general. ‘There are no indications at the White House, however, that the President has reached any conclusions in this mat- ter and it may be possible that he will delay appointing a successor to Mr, Stimson. He is understood to be mo: of years Republican national commit- teeman from Virginia, and a m— sentative in Congress from that 3 > | motored plane made four s |BULL GOES BY AIRPLANE FROM CHICAGO TO TEXAS | Yearling Holstein Flies to Cere- | mony Marking Start of, onden SCHULENBURG, Tex.

Richberg of Chicago, who as an independent addressed the general council, Natfonal League of Woman Voters, at its annual dinner last_evening, the Democratic and Re- publican party organizations may have a great deal of missionary work to do. Richberg, who is general counsel for | the_National Conference of Valuation of Railroads, was one of five speakers who discussed the future of political | parties before 300 guests of the council. | Varying shades of political thought were represented in the addresses. Parties Called Business Syndicates. | The Democratic and Republican or- | ganizations ceased to be political parties | long_ago, Richberg said. i “The Republican party that rose with Lincoln and fell with Grant, that was auctioned off by Mark Hanna and given away by Roosevelt, has been operated as & private enterprise for several dec- ades. The Democratic party of Jeffer- son and Jackson fell to pleces in the Civil War, and neither the tar of pub- lic plunder nor the glue of noble words has éver been strong enough to stick Humpty Dumpty firmly together again. “And so today we have no political parties of any important influence in, the United States.

Undesirable Foreigners Being Admitted. * The State Department is now bullding wholesale and constant forging of docu- ments to obtain the admission of aliens {into the United States.

Forgers of American passports alone | Insofar as it has come fo the attention | of the State Department. has doubled | this year as compared with previous | years. While the number of forged | passports is only an exceedingly small | percentage of the total number of : 188,000 passports issued by the depart- ment, the present figures show that the trade is growing. Visas Being Forged. Forged American passport visas are unofficialy estimated at about 100 an- nually. The American consular officials abroad issued 396,500 visas to foreign- ers desiring to enter the United States last year. Still more serious is the forgery of documents, such as birth certificates and family records, to prove citizen- ship in a country other than that in which the applicant for a visa was born. ‘Through American consul abroad, a document “forgery mill” was uncovered recently in one European country and 70 per- sons were found to have been permitted to enter the United States under fraud- ulent papers made in’ the “mill.” Most of the forgery of passports was said at the State Department to be done to obtain the uninterrupted ad- | mission into the United States of “un- desirable aliens” or prespective immi- P makes possible tl'n's the efforts of one| . SPECIAL grants whose turn to come to the United States under the quota of their countries will not come for many years. Far East Is Active. The major operations of forgers are confined 10 those nations whose quotas and waiting lists for immigration into the United States are filled for many years ahead. Practically the only other section of the world where duplication of American passports is taking place is in the Far East, where they are fur- nished to persons desiring to eclaim American citizenship and who could not enter the United States under quotas. Special steps have already been taken by the department, in conjunction with the Departments of Justice and Labor. to deal with the situation. The result has been that many cases of false pass- ports have recently been apprehended 2ither at the port of embarkation or at »American ports.
