400 'Modern" Houses will
Be Constructed on the
Estate of Lord Chttrston
William E. 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.

ment will make, the 'United States
more tonscious of doing something

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.

Chinese Philosopher Urges
Period of Self -Examination
Peiping.—Dr, Hu Shill, China's fa-
mous philosopher, who will shortly
sail for America, is now' delivering a
series of lectures in which he is urg-
ing the Chinese people to enter into a
period of "self-examinaeion" to deter-
mine whether they are to blame for
present conditions.

that there has been a radical change

"Selective Mating"
Helping the Race
Young People More Parti-
. cular About Whom They
Marry, Heredity
Student Says
Washington.—Heredity is shown in
a report of the Carnegie Institution
of Washington to be playing an in-
creasingly Important part in the
health of the human race, because
young peoPle, It says, are becoming
more particular about where they
marry.
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."'

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.

large quantities of apples from tii
'United States were stored at Britisl
ports prior to the duty going into e

gin to arrive. • All things eonsiderecl

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.
