Horace MacFarland of Harrisburg in the Philadelphia Ledger; “He thinks of community nlunnln(ln terms of civic centers, illuminated signs (the great white way), cluster lighting ‘and other display adjuncts. His city beautiful, too, varies accord- ing to his ideals. One citizen showed his conception of the city beautiful for Newark by printing on the cover of a. billboard magazine a picture of Broad street in that New Jersey metropolis, with every building bearing double decked signs urging the merits of beer | and bread, ot stoves and soap, of toilet powder and safety razors. Another is- much’ pleased when he can secure the whitewashing' of the mutilated tree trunks - about the unorderly - public square in his home town, while yet an- other sges in a tawdry soldiers’ monu- ment, fianked by a monstrous flagpole, several dismounted cannon, some wire flower bdskets and four or five enor- mous telephone poles, his ideal of a clvic center. “In a prosperous eastern capital city the city beautiful thought was present ‘when a million dollar municipal bufld- ing was placed in surroundings that make it grotesque, located as it is ut- terly away from other public buildings or open spaces. “All of these and.others, with yet other fifty-seven varieties of misplaced civic emphasis, are sincere in their de- sires for their communities. But they don’t know what the city beautiful really is, and, alas, they don’t know that they don’t know! “It is the city clean, the city prac- tlcal, the city efficient, that we need in America. ‘In fact, I-believe that clean- liness, practicability and efficiency must and do surely precede real beauty. I told a small community a few days ago, in discussing its very serious needs, that it -needed first to clean up' and then to dress up.” KANSAS CITY PARK PLAN. New System of Ta: Producing Most Saf How Knnsas City, Mo, through a tax- on Successful, ctory Results. atlon system based on dlvidh;g the ity | Into park -districts, financed” its cam- paign for city beautification was told by George B. Kessler, fellow. of the Amerl- can Soclety of Landscape Architétts, in an address at the recent national conference. on city planning at Chi- cago. “This system,” said Mr. Kessler, “ha placed the park department of Kansi Oity in a semi-independent position with reference to its funds and has made it possible to accomplish results that would have been entirely out of the question under any other flnnnclsl system in that city. 3 “In practice the system is an-amplifi- cation of the single tax théory. ' It was not accomplished as a matter of choice, but as a matter of necessity, and, inas- much as no - properties had been ac- quired under any other system, the tax- paying public finally acquiesced and is constantly urging an even more exten- sive development in order that the en- tire city may obtain commensurate benefits through lmprovement in every Ublquitous Billboard. against - the biliboard nuisance is lively in many sections and in spite of much opposition will not down. - Civic/ organizations in many citles are waging a more or less bitter warfare against this universally ac- knowledged evil. One federation of clubs in a western state has this to say in a circular recently issued: “Never cease to agitate talk against the unsightly billboards and do all Wwithin your power: to rid your town of them. Refuse to patronize firms ad- vertising in this manner. They. will soon find out it does not pay them to use billboards in your town, and you will have gone a long ‘way toward ridding the state of them.” An active campalgn . for legislation adverse to this objectionable form of advertising is now going"on ‘in: numerous -states and in the end gives promise of being successful. Fine Points in - Advertising A reader ol The Pj other. day. planning’ night's fllhln; trip in the Adll‘o dalks, and in running through the advertising pages . chanced upon an advertisement of a sporting goods house. Being entranced by the “out-o’- door’’ atmosphere and sportsman- like toné of the announcement he was soon deeply. engrossed. To- ward the end, to his astonishment, he found wmplete, detailed in- | formation about the very lake on ] “which he expected to spend his va- cation. - He learned all about' the fish and their habits, and the kind of tackle to use and a number of oth- er useful and informing points all as if written for his especial bene- fit by a true lover of the sport! Crystallized. in this one adver- tisement was all of the informa- tion, and more, that he needed to complete the arrangements for his trip. This:is only one |nsunce of the: splendid help that present day ad- vertising offers to" the readers of The Pioneer. FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE What New York Is Accomplishing With the Application of Approved 8clentific Methods. The organized fight against tuben eulosis in New York, under the latest approved scientific - methods, dates only from 1904. Before that timé there was no successful effort on the part of the authorities to diagnose the disease properly, mor -any at- tempt to deal with it intelligently when it was discovered accidentally. Yet New York is great a sufferer from the white e as any other locality. Its congested living, its large negro population and fits indi- gent foreigners, ignorant of our lan- guage and customs, make it a fertile breeding-groupd for_the tubercle ba: cillus. Within eight .years, twenty-nine tu-- berculosis clinics have been estab- lished,: aiid several day camps have been built where sufferers can recu- perate ‘without expense and without leaving the city. In all these thor- ough blood ‘and sputum tests are e with modern scientific appara- tus. At the same time, it has been widely made known that to- recover from the dread disease it is not nec- essary to leave the city, which, sit- uated between two bodies of water, is swept constantly by fresh air, the chief necessity in the treatment .of tuberculosis—From Richard Barry's “A War Worth Waging” in the Cen- tury.
