The Architect & engineer of California and the Pacific Coast . the application of tile must be con-centrated largely because of the costliness of entirely covering the a matter of effect, from an artists point of view, what a concretesurface needs is contrast with some material which is more refined anddecorative than itself. Panels, band courses or scattered designs in tiles,so long as they do not become all-over patterns, seem particularly advisablein this kind of work, as much depends upon concentrating this decorationas does upon an intelligent selection of colors and an artistic placing ofthe individual tiles. Without doubt there can be no limit to the ways inwhich tile employed in this way may be treated. Practically any size andshape, any color, any surface, are being manufactured continually, andalong with this, molding and special colors and combinations may beobtained, provided the manufacturer considers the amount to be orderedas warranting him to produce special ideas in this way.—John Wynkoop,in the American Amrrirau JiiBtiiulr of Arrhitrrta (ORGANIZED 1857)Next Convention in Washington OFFICERS FOR 1911-12 President Irving K.
