Recognition of workers, as a means of restoring pride in craftsmanship and of encouraging individual artistry, will be actively sponsored by the American Institute of Architects. “It seems possible that already there may have been started a great country- side impulse that will bring back to us of this commercial age something of the ancient spirit of craftsmanship that was the pride and glory of the age of master builders of long ago,” de- clares a report by the Institute Com- mittee on Industrial Relations, which William Orr_Ludlow, vice pres- ident of the New York Building Con- { gress, is chairman. “Architects have begun to realize how much it means, not only to themsel: but to all engaged in building, to 1 spire those workers who execute what we dream to higher ideals and a vital interest in their daily task. Tdea Creates Interest. “The institute is giving assistance in the setting up of building congresses to bring_about better industrial relations, and in organizing committees for the recognition of craftsmanship. The In- dianapolis Bullding Congress is now a going concern of some 300 members, with many activities and a fine spirit. “In Chicago and Louisville there has ing congress idea. and it seems at this time as if effective organizations will materialize before long. “With the awakening of interest in the recognition of craftsmanship, com- mittees to undertake the work have been appointed by a number of chap- ters of the institute, including those i New Jersey, Tennessee, Central Ne York, Indianapolis, Chicago and in the State of Washington, and others are planning such action. “The Royal Institute of British Architects is now contemplating engag- ing in the work of recognition of crafts- manship by the methods adopted in this country. Visit Shops and Mills. “Another interesting activity of American architects is the organized visiting of mills where fine architec- tural cabinetwork is done, foundries and factories which produce orhamen- tal iron and bronze, architectural terra cotta yards and kilns, shops which manufacture lighting fixtures, hardware factories, stone quarries and modelers’ studios. “Of all the chapters of the institute the California chapter has perhaps been the most active in furthering in- dustrial relations. In addition to visit- ing shops and factories. they have materially assisted in the techaical school education of young men who will develop into skilled artisans and craftsmen. “They are working hand in hand with engineers and other allied branches of the building industry to promote laws to prevent the ‘fly-by-night’ architect from practicing and to bring about more legitimate methods of bonding and financing. “As in international relationships, so in industrial relationships. Accord, good will, helpfulness and mutual un- derstanding depend not so much on agreements, contracts, laws, as on the mutual understanding of the customs, manners, ambitions and ideals of those who must work together. Peace, har- mony and co-operation in the building trades will never he brought about through the pay envelope or by the ‘master-and-man attitude. “Employers must have the friendly spirit toward their men, and architects the friendly spirit toward both. Each must show toward the others a desire to understahd and help. None has a right to consider his own interests para- mount. ““This committee knows of no way for architects to express this understand- ing and a friendly, sympathetic spirit so convincingly as in the hearty recog- nition and public honoring of the supe- rior men engaged in the equally impor- tant tasks of our great art.” Other members of the institute's of | been considerable interest in the build- | Home in Good Taste Shoes on the closet floor are always in the way, and even when put on | racks carefully installed on the inside | | of the closet door they are not entirely | | satistactory from the standpolnt of neatness, for they have a way of fall- | | ing down when the door swings.

One may finish the outside in one of the colors tfl‘ the scheme and the interior in a finished with a coat of shellac. (Copyright, 1929.) 'WOMEN’S LEAGUE HITS SENATOR HEFLIN| | Alabama Organization Opposing Him Dubs Him “Admiral (to Be) of Anti-Catholic Fleet.” By the Associated Press. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 18 —Sena- tor Thomas J.
