Nation Losing Sense of Har
mony Declares Noted
Interior Decorator
CHICAGO, Nov. 13 (AP).
With the resources I for obtaining
beautiful and harmonious things
tenfold greater than those pos
sessed by America's! forefathers,
"we nevertheless seem to - have
lost their sense of taste," Lionel
Robertson, prominent artist and
decorator, said in a recent lecture
to students at the Chicago Art
Institute. j
The art of living; should have
the most vital appeal to our peo
ple, Mr. Robertson asserted, while
the beauty in nature, a wish to
be surrounded with harmonious
things to avoid the shoddy and
the glaring in homes and in per
sonal appearance, ialso was the
surest way to build worth-while
character. ' . .' ..
"Beautiful things will enrich
our lives and give! us beautiful
thoughts," the speaker continued
''Yet in our homes, particularly
the city, we find all In one room
imitations of Oriental rugs with
pronounced seams, i yeliow oak
Woodwork highly varnished. Ivory
walls with no pattern, taupe mohair-covered
furniture, inverted
bowls with indiectj; light leaving
no beautiful shadows, and. stained
glass shades on the table lamps.
With such a conglomeration na
turally goes jazz music and the
current theatrical revues.
"The individual j should exert
own taste and not slavishly at
tempt to follow what 'others' are
dotagv The home - furnishings
should make for atmosphere. Fur
niture in a room need not neces
sarily all be in one periods, as it
easily might become monotonous.
Chinese decorations are extremely
useful, for the Chinese are the
greatest decorators! the world has
ever known."

Expert Advice Needed
Before Zoning Project
Is Launched In Cities
(Fourth of a series of articles
compiled from the "Zoning Prim
er," issued by the Department of
CommerceWashington. D. C.)
Before a zoning ordinance is
passed, local. needs should be giv
en a comprehensive and detailed
study, according to information
contained in "The Zoning Prim
er." WThat fits one town or city
may not suit another. There Is
no short cut to good zoning in any
community through blindly ac-
accepting what has been done for
another community.
The only safe way Is through
open-minded examination . of the
facts of each community as to ex
isting uses, existing densities and
heights of buildings, customs of
the people and the trend of af
fairs. In every city there are cit
izens and organizations having In
their possession valuable knowl
edge of local conditions. These
have a large contribution to make
to those responsible for zoning al
though those who have lived their
whole lives in a community do not
necessarily realize all that is- go
ing on about them, j!
Zoninc: of a city requires expert
professional knowledge just as the
presentation of a case in court re
quires legal training. But just r.s
the lawyer depends upon the lay
in our show window. Whether you now own a davenport, whether you contem

man to secure his .facts, so must
the professional zoning expert call
upon the citizens for much of the
accurate information upon "which
any good zoning regulations must
be based. These zoning experts
are becoming skilled in the meth
ods of getting at the essential
facts of any local situation, and in
the interpretation of those facts.
If .they possess insight and sane
judgment,' their advice becomes
increasingly valuable.
