Toronto Already Has Twenty-five Thousand In City Streets. “Although re-enfurced concrete poles have been the subject of experiment from time to time for a great many years, it is comparatively recently,” says ter in the Blectrical World, been employed or even seriously co ered. The high and constantly incr 1z cost of wooden poles, their comparatively short life, with consequent prospective renewal at greater expense, as well as the de- mand of the public for the beautifica- tion of city streets, render the consid- eration of concrete pole construction desirable for overheard systems. “A number of successful installa- tions of concrete poles have been made in the last five or six years on this con- tinent and in Europe. The largest pole installation at present is that of 25,000 concrete poles set up in connection with the municipal street lighting and general light and power distribution of the hydroelectric system in Toronto. “The appearance of an overhead in- stallation can be greatly improved by using a pole of neat and uniform con- struction, such as is obtainable by the use of concrete. With a suitable light- ing system and arrangement for over- head a pleasing and ornamental effect can be obtained at substantially the same cost as when wooden poles are used, and there is also the prospective saving in maintenance expense.” BUILDING A TOWN TO ORDER. Chicago Men Will Provide Modern Homes For Miners. A new town is being established by two citizens of Chicago, mainly as a place of residence for the miners of a coal mining property recently placed in operation near the town site and a large electric power station. They rep- resent the Peabody Coal company and the Central Tllinois Public Service company. While the purpose of the enterprise is commereial, it is being carried out public utilities, housing and sociolog- ical conditions. At the same time care has been taken to avoid mere beautifi- cation and to keep the practical pur- poses and limitations of the project strictly in mind. For this purpose fre- quent consultations were had with John Mitchell of the Miners' union. This few town, which has been named Kincaid, is in the southwestern part of the state. about twenty miles south of Springfield, or 200 miles south of Chjcago and 100 miles north of St. Louis. ing feature of thi application of practical town planning ideas for an average population in a mining district.—Engineoring News.

Plans Should Embrace Tenements and Single Family Dwellings. Housing reform applies not only to tenements, but to the single family dwelling also, according to John Ihlder, fleld secretary of the National Housing assoclation. Writing in the Survey, he says: “We have learned that bad housing may be found mnot only in the single family shacks, but even in what is styled a single family residence. Just as it was found impossible to draw a valid distinction between an ‘apart- ment house’ and a ‘tenement house,” so is it impossible to draw one be- tween shack and residence, “The new conception of what a city dwelling should be required to provide for its inhabitants runs counter to some established customs. “When public health authorities, anti- tuberculosis associations, morals effi- ciency commissions, fire departments, WORKINGMEN'S HOMES OF A NEW AND REASONABLY PRICED TYPE. life and fire insurance companies and a score of other agencies, public, semi- public and private, find that their ef- forts to secure any substantial im- provement lead inevitably to the dwell- ings of the people, then the providing of those dwellings ceases to be a pure- ly private affair and becomes in larger degree a community affair. “So our cities are coming to under stand that.upon them rests the respon- sibility of seeing that every dwelling provides at least a minimum’of sanita- tion, light, air, privacy-and safety from fire. “In New York city, in New Jersey, in Columbus; in Duluth, wherever an ad- vance in housing legislation has been made, there has been this opposition based on the fear that it would check building. And in every case experi- ence has shown that instead it stimu- lated building. “And the new buildings of higher type reduced those other and expen- sive social problems which have their roots in unwholesome dwellings,” ST. LOUIS OUSTS BILLBOARDS. Nine Year Legal Battle Brings Banish- ment For Big Signs. The final rout of the billboard trust took place in St. Louis after a nine year court battle, when the city com- missioner ordered that 1,800 billboards, virtually all in the city, be torn down within four days. The billboards were on the property of approximately 4,000 property own- ers, and to each of these owners a special delivery letter-was Sent calling their attention to the law’s violation and requiring that the boards be re- moved within three days of the receipt of notification, one day’s grace being allowed for delivery of the order. “I shall have an ax squad ready and the offending boards will come down,” said Building Commissioner McKelvey. The 1905 ordinance to be enforced by the building commissioner limits the height of billboards to fourteen feet, requires a space of four feet between the ground and the bottom of the board, limits the -area to 500 square feet and the length to fifty feet and fixes a license fee of §1 for every linedl five feet. No billboard may approach nearer than six feet to a building or another billboard, and all boards must be placed back at least fifteen feet from the line of the lot.

Tea; it’s wonderful.”” 35c. Barker’s Practical Fashion Hints By Alice Gibson Small Motifs In Cross Stitch. Something easy and quick and effec- tive, that is the usual request when an embroidery pattern is ordered. If you are an experienced needleworker and wish a simple design for finishing tow- els or some novelty you will find that these motifs have many. possibilities, and if you are an amateur or a begin- ner in needlecraft you could not choose better designs for the first attempt than these. You can make delightfully attractive guest-towels, bureau-covers, nightstand-covers, bags and cases for toilet articles, aprons and bibs and a carriage-cover for the baby embroider- ed with these motifs. Pattern 14503 includes .four transfers of each of the five designs. These little motifs are from 2% to 3 inches high and should be worked with either rope silks or No. 8 mercerized cotton. The bunmies should be done-in brown; they are-np- propriate for a child’s apron, book-bag or for a chafing-dish cloth. The trees in tubs may, be used on the ends of runners of hand woven Russian crash, which can be purchased at the dish- towel counter, or they may be worked on book-covers, pillows, bags and ta- ble-covers. The tubs may be worked in dull red or soft green, with the trees in a darker shade of green with occa- slonal stitches in red to indicate apples or oranges. The pine tree should be done in dark green on runners and pil- lows, while the little basket may be used on handkerchief bags and all kinds of dainty cases worked in brown, pink and green. The wreath may be developed in delicate green combined with pink or blue for em- broidering a baby carriage cover, child's dress, hat or sack. These designs are all so simple that the children will be delighted to learn to cross-stitch by working them on something they can use or give to mother. This Is a Perfect Pattern.
