ARCHITECTS INVITED TO INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION Melbourne, June 30. 1914—The Australian government announces an international architectural competition for the purpose of selecting the architect of the Parliament House and possibly Incidentally additional architect for other government structures of the new Federal Capital City, Canberra. Only tentative outline sketch designs for the building are requested, and eight (8) prizes are offered aggregating £6000, the first being £2000, in addition to commission for service at the scale of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Designs may be submitted in either Melbourne or London before March 31, 1915, and wll be judged by the following jury of architects: George T. Poole of Australia. John J. Burnet of London. Victor Laloux of Paris. Otto Wagner of Vienna. l^ouis E. Sullivan of Chicago. The decision of the jury, will he final. A program will he issued to any practicing architect on application to the High Commissioner for Australia in London. Works Departments of British Colonies, or British --Imbassies at Berlin, Madrid, Paris, L ime, St. Petersburg, Stockholm, Vienna, Washington, from whom also copies of text in French or German may be had on request. Copies in Esperanto may De obtained from the High Commissioner or from the Esperanto headquarters at Geneva. The importance of this event is not to be measured by that or the foremost building of the commonwealth, but by the opportunity to establish an architectural standard not only for the entire future seat of government in Australia, but for a great new democracy of scope, scale and modern advantages as well as the climatic conditions differing radically from any prototype in Europe or elsewhere.

Cf. S. Courses during spare time. One letter gives the romance of a young man in California that began with little or no education; another tells the story of a high school graduate in Maine that found himself educated for everything but to make a living. Here are the heart-trobs of a fellow that toiled 12 hours a day and studied his Course as best he could; of a foremen or superintendent that enrolled because his ambition aimed at still bigger things. No matter where you live, how little spare time you have, or how brief your schooling, the I. C. S. can raise your salary. That statement is backed with 20 years of success and a record of 400 or more advancement letters received every month. I. C. S. Courses have made draftsmen, foremen, and superintendents of shop hands; building contractors, architects, structural and concrete engineers of carpenters and masons; advertising men, window trimmers, chemists, illustrators, and designers of clerks; electrical, mechanical and steam engineers of laborers; mine inspectors, foremen, and mining engineers of mine workers; bridge engineers, surveyors and mappers, civil engineers, gas engineers, automobile runners and civil service employees of young men willing to use their Bpare time to mold a career. Suppose you were to increase your earnings only $20 a month— what a fine return that would be on your Bpare-tlme investment! Yet some have increased their earnings $250 a month. Mark and mail this coupon and you will receive free information how you can increase your earnings by spare-time study. BRICK—ALL KINDS. Cont'n'l Ship, a Trad, Co.
