CITY PLANNING FOR. FRANGE Bome Good to Result From Destruction ' of Towns by Bombardment; of. the German Armies. There i8 no great loss, according te. homely philosophy, without some slight gain, Great digasters often lead of the phoenix rising from its ashes is essentially true. France is to profit by the ruin of so many of her cities. Sp her people have decreed. When the Ggrman armies are are to be rebuilt. But they will not be reconstructed alopg former lines. The nagrow streets will not.he restored. The bulldings centuries old, picturesque, perhaps, but scarcely san- Itary, will not be restgred. Relms and other bombarded cities are. to. be re-. built according to the latest plaps. of experts in city planning. They are to be models on which cities untouched by German cannonadg¢s will look with envy. But that 1s not all. France has de- cided that she cannot. afford in future to allow towns and cities to. grow up In the old haphazard way. A law has been adopted which compels every mu- oicipality to organize a planning cqm- misgion, which will. dgcide on its fy- ture growth. Evegy improvement will bhave to conform to the city plen, whether it is made in newly developed territory, or replaces a construction of long standing. Paris, having oufgrown the Haussmann plans, has organized a bureau which will care not only for the city, but for the whole metropolitan area, INDIVIDUAL CUPS FOR HORSES. This Is one of a number of drinking fountains far horses, with individual cups, erected by the Pennsylvania So- ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to animals. TRACTORS ARE USED BY CITY Buffalo Declared to Have Best Gar bage Collection Syatem by Bostan Investigating Committse, Buffalo has the best new garbage col- lection plan according to three engi- neers that Mayor Curley of Boston sent to other cities to find out which had the best one in operation. The en- gineer's report describes the Buffalo system briefly as follows: “The city is divided into districts of such size that four horse-drawn ve- hicles will bandie theagarbage, ashes or: refuse, picking it up from the houses. These four vehicles after filling are pulled to a central point from which a tractor takes them on the long haul to the reduction plant, or dump, as the case may be. In this way the short haul with frequent stops is taken care of by horses, while for the long haul the tractor is used taking several trall~ ers. Care in routing vehicles would be necessary to get full advantage of the tractors and keep them constantly working. These tractors cost about $5,000 apiece, and the trailers about $1,600. For a city of the size of Bos- ton the first gxpense for this scheme study would be required to assure its economy.” . Garbage Dumps Unsanitary. Not a few cities dump their garbage upon plots of land located usually in outskirts of the city. This is not dis- posal at all, but simply the placing or removal of filth from one locality to another. Ome health authority has this to say in regard to dumping gar- bage on the outskirts: “Whole groups of zymotic diseases are traceable to ground conditiens. ‘When, as in some parts, sofls are com- posed of an accumulation of decaying matters from the city, the building of houses over it may conceal but cannot destroy the contamination. More or less of the fopl air must find its way out of the soil and endanger the health of the people living upon it.” ) A Hint for Gardeners. In city and town gardens, where the space is restricted, it is best to have the rows run the long way of the gar den—north to south if possible to pre vent the growing plants from shading each other and planting several kinds of similarly growing vegetables, like green onions, carrots, radishes, sta, to better conditions.

They had seen so mgny com- Lrades fall, and had so many narrow efcapes, that, they asswmed the bullet was not molded that could get them. One exception was a member of the .Thirteenth battalion (Canadian Black ‘Watch). He had a premonition of death and saw his fate in every shell that. bnrst in. sight. and every bullet that zipped past him. Each time he went into the trenches he died a thousand times in imagina- tion, apd he wag 8 helpless, hopeless, nseless- object the last time we went Into. the line in front of Ploegsteert woods. He never smiled, whistled or sang when in the firing:line; he was literally obsessed with the fear of death. On. the. mornipg following his last night in the trenches he was smiling broadly. The company were snug in billets and he was preparing to shave, whistling as he stropped his razor. Suddenly a careless draft man with- out warning exploded a cartridge that lay forgotten in the breech of his rifle, The bullet plerced the brain of the man with the razor, and he died with- In a few moments. Not till then did his comrades real- Ize that his fear of death was based upon a presentment that came true, though, not at all in the. manner the gnfortupate man expected.—The Wide World. UNCOVER RICHES IN RUSSIA Development of Mineral Deposits, Re. tarded by Autocracy, Now Likely to Be Rapid. As In, everything, else, the old re- gime of Russia had its strangle hold on the gold industry. Siberia and the Ural could be considered the classical parts of the world where deposits of precious minerals abound and under a free and progressive government they could easily lead all the other parts. of the werld, says the Russian- American Journal of Commerce. The Russian press is full of news. items chronicling new discoveries of gold and platinum deposits, as well as other rare metals. So from Krasnoyarsk, in Siberia, came the news that in the morthern and southern Enisey mountain dis- tricts the gold seekers have lately washed gold to the amount of about 8,280 pounds. From the Lena, well known as a gold-bearing river, comes the word that new rich gold and plati- num deposits were discovered on her tributaries, Wily and also Markha. With the laying of the tracks of the Amur rallroad there is almost a con- tinuous procession of discoveries of new deposits of precious metals, espe- clally on the Rivers Burea and Khara; all the deposits are not far from the new laid tracks and offer all the op- portunities for a successful develop- ment of the newly discovered deposits, Dress in London. Something might be sald of the shanges that three years of war have brought about in our clothes. Evening dress 18, not abolished, but it is becom- Ing much less customary in theaters and restaurants, and people coming up to London who used to bring eve- ning clothes with them no longer do so. Stiff white collars are disappear- Ing, and the soft collar is worn by all classes. The democratic process had already set In at the house of com- mons. One remembers the shock that Mr. Kelr Hardie's cloth cap created on Its first appearance there, but it has advanced immensely since the war be- gan. Frock couts are in a small and die-hard minotity. Spats are on their last legs. Top hats survive miraculous- ly, it. might seem, until one remembers thelir: enduring qualities, so that their persigtence is only a form of war econqmy after all. New Ordec Given Cowards. “The Order of the Running Hare” is a new mock decoration which i3 conferred by the Loyal Belgian nation- .al committee upon their well-to-do compatriots of military age, who, after fleeing from the German invader, have since preferred safety and ease abroad to the hardships of trench life on the Yser. Mapy Belgians In neutral countries have recelved such an order, which consists of a medal showing a flying hare, with an uncomplimentary in- scription. It is accompanied by an ar- tistically {lluminated charter, by which “We, King of the Tribe of Cowards, bestow this decoration upon our trusty and well-beloved friend, on his attack of the old shivers, which is hereby certified as incurable.” What Then? “Here's a doctor says you shouldn eat when you're worried.” “But suppose you are continually worried for fear you won't be able t¢ get anything to eat?” A Peace Appetite.
