Lescaze, of the arebilec. tural hem Of Bevil' & Lescaze, New York and Philadelphia, who has re- turned from Europe, announces that his firra hase completed the plans for• an entire village of enediunapriced, modern dwellings to be built on a 000 -acre tract of waterfront land near Dartiegteee TiOvonshire, England. "A geouP of British peoele, not speculators," Mr. Lescaze said, "were Interested in a preblem. What can we do, they said, to moderate nous - Mg conditions among -the middle -eel - Paled cls? This was the besis of the experiment, and now it is up to ours Arra to prove conclusively that the only solution of the naoderia blousing: problemi is through func- tional modern architectuee," ' Tlire proSect, which is' der-withe leadership of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard K.. Elmhirst. will be constructed on the estate of Lord • Churston whose seat is at Brixton, Devon, and not , • far from the Dartington Hall School, at Dartington, which Mrs. Elmbirst .eponsoeed seven years ago. re. Elnaleirst, formerly Mrs. tierce thy Whitney Straight, of New York, • has been active In philanthropy in both, the United States, and tang -land: Mr. Lescaze described the plans or the town in detail. Near the wa- terfront, which curves* in a wide • horseshoe, will be a 'fifteen -acre park, With tennis courts, lawns and a large pavilion. There will be a recrea- tional building with facilities for all hinds, of games. On the water side Will be small dressing cubicles giving mho the beach. On the landward gde of the park will be a main road, 4 -lined With the few stores, the bank and whatever other buildings the community will require. In one of the most favorable spots on the de- velopment, Mr. Descaze said, there Will be a fine, modern hotel, for visitors and guests .of the 'residents. 1 The houses will be of several types, due to the lay of the land and of Its orientation, with different posy bibilities of vista. Mr. Lescaze 'etressed this point as highly import - 'int in modern architecture.. His lan is .to let each become a part 'of the scene' fftting naturally into I Ithe r ' andscape and keeping the plan so flexible that every bit of sunlight, natural beauty, air and comfort will be included in the finished product. i The genetal plans call for a gar- age, living and dining rooms, a kit - ben and a lavatory on the first floor of the house. In the surrounding roperty will be a shed of some sort, or the English, he says, are partial • to sheds for storage. "That's another thing we're going to do," he explained. "Work the pee - 'pie into the scheme gradually. For instance, on tbe first houses to he constructed, within a few days now, 'we will use the regular type of what In England is called 'cavity construetion'—brIck, air space, brick, air nice, and the whole thing covered With stucco. This will make the transitibn to the new style easier for them. We're including fire- places In all the houses, too, because of the English penchant for them. 3/4 "And let use hope that this develop- ment will make, the 'United States more tonscious of doing something In the way of a constructive housing )plan for. people with small incomes. Pifteen European nations have spent Ito,oso,ogoso in fifteen years for P,600,000 dwellings, and have done in this country precisely nothing." Simplifying English Grammar Loudon Advertiser, Dr, Janet Rankin .Aiken of Columbia University would have English gram- mar simplified. The- English. langu- age is simple in tbe extreme, because of its stoma complete freedom from the inflexions which so trouble the student of Latin arta Greek, A for- eigner can, make hinaselt understood lui English by learning the meanings of two or three hundred words. He does not need to know anything about cases or moods. if he says "I done it" or e'you was" be offende against precision or elegance, but everybody understands what he means. The New York Times, discussing the sub- ject, quotes two, lines from Dryden in which a rule of granular • is trans- gressed; • e Who climbs the grammar tree dis- tinctly knows Where noun and verb and participle grows. Dryden used the singular for the plural for a whimsical:purpose. Shake- speare wrote: Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his booes are coral made. He was aiming at euphony, ""bones are" sounding much better than "bones is." He nsade the verb dis- agree with its subject "coral," but he also made the sound more agreeable to the ear. The construction of the English language is simple enough, but it is possible that the teaching of English grammar might be- simplified. It is made to appear mucls more 'difficult than it really is. The definitions are harder to understand than the parts of speech defined. Children in fami- lies where, good English is spoken learn it unconsciously by imitation, and readers learn it from good auth- ors. Foreigners and children coming from illiterate families present a more difficult problem. The way to a so- lution 'seems to be in recognizing the simplicity of construction of the Eng- lish language, and trying to make the study of grammar as easy as the lan- guage ie simple.

The tenor of Dr. Hu's argument is that there has been a radical change I,oems, with baths; depending on the lse of the house, Then above this till be the penth.ouse, the great doption of the modernists, with the tutroundlieg roof forming a deck for amee, sun baths or rest, and taking ,ii, 'e Place of the old-fashioned porch.

I "A race more resistant to, disease and capable of a more completely adjusted, happier, healthier life" is predicted as a result of what the report terms trends toward "selec- tive mating" that will tend to "breed out" weaklings • with inherited susceptibility to various diseases. "A long experience. denatinces me," the report quotes Dr. Charles B. Davenport, a student of heredity, "that many young people think very deeply on the eonsequences of their mating, especially where some de- fect lies in one of the families eon - corned. "It is fair to say that, without propaganda, but with, first, the grad- ual acquisition a knowledge, and, secondly, the ordinary processes of education by which these facts (about heredity) became the proper- ty of young people, selective mating will become more and • more wide- spread as- time goes on." Diseases themselves are not in- herited, but susceptibility to them is, the report says. A person Who has, inherited a poor constitution ors oth- er defects may live long and in fair health despite this handicap Vero -ugh the aid of good, care and favorable surroundings. But this, It is held, cannot change his germplasm, 'which may transmit to his offspring the same weaknesses, starting them in life with the same handicap, which, in their case, may be less easily overcome. "I know that it is not as to con- trol human matings, and yet the re- cognition of need of some sort of control has led to more or less suc- cessful attempts in this direction in the past. "I think especially of the influence that the French parents exercise upon the mating of their children. I think of the high ideals In mating which are inculcated in sons and daughters by parents who recognize the importance of what the Southern- ers call 'quality."' dia, Japan—ail of them. And most of all, China, the celestial kingdom. How I loved it! (turning to her). And the pagodas; did you you see them?" She (powdering her nose)—"Did I see them? My dear, I had dinner with them?"

Apple Exp.rts • To ritam In Four Years Shipments Show 160,000 Barrel Increase Observes the "Ontario Fartier"—ITh four years Ontario's exports of apples to Great Britain have increased from 60,000 barrels to 220,000 barrels, statee Andrew Fulton, overseas representa- tive of the Ontario Fruit Growers' As- sociation. Itt addition the export of pears and plums has increased from. 'practically nothing to over 100,060, packages. Mr. Fulton states that this increase in volume has undoubtedly; been brought about through the 00' operation of the Fruit Growers' AS - sedation, and the Ontario Government in establishing central packing houses and cold storage plants, thus providing the necessary facilities for standardiz- ing the pack under recognized brands.. He says the British trade appreciate Ontario's efforts to main.tain high quality brands, as the prices realized . throughout the season compare more than favorably with brands from other sources. This tremendous increase in exports of apples in the face of declins ing export volumes for almost every other product is effective proof of what can be done by organized mar keting efforts applied to farm products Last season's lower returns to the growers was due almost entirely ta the unfavorable exchange situation' and the general lowering 'of valuel rather than to any fault in the market ing system. Nor did the duty of four shilling( six pence per hundredweight, estab lisped at the Ottawa Conferenct against apples entering the 'United Kingdom from foreign countries, hell( Ontario growers much this year al large quantities of apples from tii 'United States were stored at Britisl ports prior to the duty going into e feet on November 17, 1932. The re benefit of this duty therefore will no be felt until this year's shipments be" gin to arrive. • All things eonsiderecl then, the apple growers with their pre sent marketing organization and fad titles are in an excellent position t4 maintain a profitable export busbies* with Great Britain, if the present re gulations, with the co-operation of ths growers, prove effective in ontrollini the apple maggot and kindred futon( that injure the quality 05 the fruit, Wild Cattle in Britain St. Thomas Times-7'1=nel, It may surprise many people to know that there are wild cattle in England, yet there is an authentic herd, not running wild, but living on the estate of one of England's oldest peers, the Earl of Tankerville in. Northumberland. For centuries these animals have had their habitat on the Sarl's wood- ed demesne of 70 acres, which is so stoutly enclosed by a stone wall that the breed has remained pure for up- wards of live hundred years. There are just 44 of theta, but as it costs quite a sum to feed and care for them without producing any return, the Earl has been obliged to ask for some assistance in their maintenance. The Zoological Society has come forward, and the preservation of this unique herd is assured. These cattle are pure white with red muzzles, and black tips to their upward tilted horns. They are small- er than ordinary cows, extremely shy, despite the fact that nobody ever seeks to touch them, and are danger- ous to strangers. It is said they are descendants of the aurochs, primitive wild oxen, which were hunted in England by Roman soldiers when the Caesars held sway.
