Animals on the Mantel. The apartment where Artist Statsinger conducts her own explorations, near Chicago's crime-blighted Midway, is painted dead white. The low, simple furniture is her own handiwork, and her clothes closet is crammed with carpentry tools. Ranged along the hearth and mantel are geometric little "animals" which she makes of papier-mãché and wire for relaxation...
...hound is a friendly, flop-eared little dog with a tail that wags with the furious regularity of a revving propeller. As the "harrier," he was bred in England and Wales at least 600 years ago to hunt small game; today he is equally at home on heath or hearth, looks like a slightly bowlegged, apartment-size (13-15 in. high) foxhound.

It featured, among other things, a sunken corner hearth, floor-to-ceiling windows, and storage walls. ¶ Pictures of Tokyo's Imperial Hotel, which Wright built between 1916 and 1922. Flexibly constructed on a broad, floating base of stone, the hotel was one of the few buildings to survive Tokyo's great earthquake of 1923, is still in business...

More important, C.F. & I. also got Wickwire's Plant Superintendent Alwin Franz, a crack operating man who started in the steel business as an open-hearth pitman and is now C.F. & I.'s president...
