Thirty-year code in particular was called should be replaced. In any effort toward recodification, it was stated, the southeastern standard code, which the association is now studying, would probably be largely followed. Gas, plumbing and electrical ordinances can mainly stand as they are, it was said, and should be rm.de part and parcel of any new code. President James A. Stripling said that the subject of codification would be taken up today to see what the experience of men over the state has been.

Much of the morning session of the convention Friday was taken up with a discussion of a report by M. Leo Elliott, chair man of the capitol center devel opment committee. Elliot's committee was appointed three years ago to present the governor with a program for a capitol center in Tallahassee. Since then, Elliot asserted, the committee had gone as far as it could and the plan had apparently become sidetracked. His committee, he said, was much concerned that the present building program, a project covering 30 blocks in which some dozen or more archi tects are participating, has gone far beyond what the committee originally recommended and seems to be under way without a co-ordinator.

PRESIDENT STRIPLING, while praising the capitol center plan being supervised by A. D. Taylor as a "beautiful scheme and a workable layout," admitted that the architect's committee had somehow got lost after having referred the matter to Governor Caldwell. Elliot was asked to frame a resolution which will be presented to the convention today requesting the governor to a commission on building to work on the development. Another thougl' expressed at the convention was to the effect in undergoing great changes in recent yea architecture is merely keeping in tune with the times.

Architecture, it was said, is an effect, not a cause. The! prime causes are econor-" geo- graphic, climatic and, to some! extent, political and religious. Said one architect, "As the causes change with modern living, effect changes and you can't get away from it. It is an equation." Emphasis today, it was said, is on interior arrangement and plan and the things that make for easier living, such as in the mod ern kitchen, where labor-saving 'devices of all kinds are rapidly being made realities THE CONVENTION opened yesterday with addresses of welcome by Mayor George S. Patterson and Manager William F.

Davenport of the chamber of commerce. Following a brief afternoon session, delegates were shown motion picture films by D. W. Yike, Atlanta division manager for the Master Builders company of Cleveland, presenting the findings of various labora tories relative to the durability and resistance of concrete. High point of this morning's session will be the annual election of officers.

The convention will wind up this evening with a cocktail party and banquet at the Soreno. Prominent among the delegates attending the convention are two members of the faculty of the University of Florida, William T. Arnett, director of the school of architecture, and Thomas Lar-rick; John L. Skinner, regional director of the AIA, Miami; and Marion Manley, member of the architectural department of the University of" Miami. went all the way down to Cuba' average for November is 67.

Peters burs Executives club at their first fall dinner meeting last night in the Detroit hotel. "Whenever peace has been es tablished and maintained among man a common government has done it whether it be in the clan. tribe, little kingdom or l'ttle na tion." The principal thing that will bring about a world war for the third time would be the poison of assertion that peace is gotten by agreement. Our government was not formed on agreement but by argumentation by those concerned. Laws were set up that were applicable to the mi nority in the same degree that they were applicable to the ma jority, Nash said.

HE SAID that folks think of an international government as being too deep for them but that really human beings operate the same internationally as locally. We need only give the world government power over the com mon affairs that affect all countries. Nash said he feels such a world government will come about within this decade because things are so desperately bad now that they can't get any worse. Mankind is never willing to make a change until he has to, Nash said. He believes th United Nations cannot prevent war but it may delay it until something can be done to prevent war.

He says the worse phase of the United Nations charter is the clause saying that any of the five nations possessing the veto power can prevent the removal of the veto. "The onlv way get out of the veto straight jacket is to bust out of it by all nations saying here is general disagreement, let's settle this matter now." $21,000 Suit Filed As Result Of Fatal Crash Damage suit for $21,000 against Emma Louise Helwig of St. Pe tersburg was filed in circuit court at Clearwater yesterday by George Thompson, executor of his wife's estate.

The board states that the secret of avoiding colds is simple. "Avoid direct or indirect exposure of others, particularly little children, feeble or aged persons, or persons suffering from any other illness.

"It is desirable to practice Isolation and rest in bed for one or two days. Soft paper used for nasal or mouth discharge should be burned or otherwise disposed of to avoid contamination of hands and articles of common use." Recommendations offered by the board for prevention of colds include "maintenance of good bodily resistance through regular use of fresh air day and night, outdoor exercise, sufficient rest to avoid conscious fatigue, a balanced diet, bowel evacuation and clothing appropriate to climate and use."

Pinellas is currently in the pink, as far as health is concerned but only for the present. It's about THAT time of year, according to the county health physician, Dr. R. D. Hollowell and residents who are in the know are preparing themselves for the measles-dodging days ahead.

The bothersome malady which is characterized by fever and red blotches and comes in too many different forms, had a pretty good run last spring, according to Dr. Hollowell. Since fall, winter and spring are its principal striking seasons, local doctors are looking for "more or less of an epidemic" before long. The measles demon seems to be a little late in its arrival this year. Doctors have been expecting the speckled monster to rear its ugly head before now.

With exception of a few common colds, Pinellas' health chart has been comparitively clean for the past month. Last case of infantile paralysis was reported about the lirst of October.
