CITY’ Purpose as Explained Is To Gain Economy, Efficiency and Beauty in City What is zoning? This is a question frequently ask- ed by persons seeking detailed in- fgrmation, since the city commission named a zoning commission for Bis- marek, A “zoning primer” publish- ed by the advi committee on zoning, Department of Commerce, Washington, explains as follows: “Zoning is the application of com- mon sense and fairness to the pub- lie regulations governing the use of private real estate. It is a pain- staking, honest effort to provide rict or neighborhood, as practicable, with just suck and just such liberty asl ure sensible in that particular dis- trict, It avoids the error ér trying to apply exactly the same building regulat to every part of a city or town regardless of whether it is a suburban residence section, or a trict, or a business and r. It fosters civic ng confidence in the tice and stability of the protec- afforded, “Zoning giyes everyone who lives or does busihess in a community a chance for the reasonable enjoyment of his rights, At the same time it protects him from unreasonable in- jury by neighbors who would seek private gain at his expense. “Zoning regulations differ in dif- ferent dis , according to the determined uses of the land for resi- dence, business, or manufacturing, and according to the advisable hts and ground areas, But these differing regulations are the same for all districts of the same type. They treat all men like. ‘Why Do We Need Zoning?” “Some one has asked: Does your city keep its gas range in the par- lor and its piano in the kigchen? That is what many an American city permits its household to do for it. “We know what to think of a household in whigh an undisciplined daughter makes fudge in the parlor, in which her sister leaves soiled clothes soaking in the bathtub, while father throws his muddy shoes on the steps, and little Johnny makes beautiful mud pies on the froqt ‘Yet many American cities do the same sort of thing when they allow stores to crowd in at random among private dwellings, and factories and public garages to come elbowing in among neat retail stores and well- kept apartment houses. Cities do no better when they allow office build- ings so tall and bulky and so close- ly crowded that the lower floors not only become too dark and unsatis- factory for human use Met for that very reason fail to earn a fair cash return to the individual investor. “‘Live und let live’ is a better motto for the modern city than the one of ‘dog eat dog.’ “It is this stupid wasteful jumble which zoning will prevent and grad- ually correct, We must remember, however, that while zoning is a very important part of city planning, it should go hand in hand with plan- ning streets and providing for parks and playgrounds and other essential features of a well-equipped city. Alone it is no universal panacea for all municipal ills, but as part of a larger program it pays the city and the citizens a quicker return than any other. form of civic improve-| ment. Zoning Protects Property and Health “Suppose yo. have just bought some land in a neighborhood of} homes and built a‘ cozy little house. There are two vacant Yots south of you. If your town is zoned, no one “ean put up a large apartment hotse on those lots, overshadowing your home, stealing your sunshine and spoiling the investment of 20 years’ saving. Nor is anyone at liberty to erect a noisy, malodorous public to drive you to sell out for half of what you put into your home. “If a town is zoned, property values, become more stable, mort- age companies are more ready to lend money, and more houses can be built, “A zoning law, if enacted in time, prevents an apartment house from becoming a giant airless hive, hous- ing human beings like crowded bees.

Zorfing Reduces the Cost of Living “By zoning, millions of waste from the scrapping of buil ed districts may be eliminated. “A blighted district is a istrict, ‘originally developed for residencé, or industry, in the future of which people have lost confidence, “The causes of ’ Sueh bli iy an famil is that of a residential ‘district into which there have begun to creep var- fous uses threatening rapid destrue- tion of its value for residences— uses as sporadic stores, or 1» Or Jim yards.

The “doll” make-up consists of a dash of red high on each cheekbone, and another dash in the middle of the forehead. This gives the fair wearer the appearance of a Dutch doll. Skirts of the coming season, the London fashion judges have decreed, shall be so made that when the wear- er walks the skirt will fill out like 8 balloon, but when she stands in repose her draperies will. enf6ld her as in a sheaf. The ultra-long skirts, so much in vogue during the last season, will ‘be abandoned. The new circular, “flare” skirts are shorter than those of last year. z With the return of the flare to the dress, the waist line, so long ignored by fashion, reasserts itself, and th effect produced by skirt draperies that flare is further accentuated by the tendency of the upper part of the dress, the blouse or corsage, to pouch slightly over the waist. The leg-of-mutton sleeve, an old style in which the upper part is large and the wrist close fitting has been brought back by some London dress- makers, and another effort tg pop- ularize the high collar is being made. Olive green will be the predom- inant color this winter, say the fash- ion mentors, with an autumnal shade of brown as second favorite. Some drepsmakers incline to soft Persian reds and vivid hues. Extraordinary embroideries, landscape, soological, and carpet, accgrding to choi however, lighten up thé row: otRegfmore or less neutral colorings. An ornamental pond with swans and water-lilies and a background of rushes and trees, all worked in na- tural colorings, is not considered too flamboyant a decoration for some Fowns. Among the hats, big picture shapes, close-fitting toques, little Breton and tam-o-shanter shapes are among the most popular for the coming season. ‘All hats will be worn well down on the head. The fashionable colors will be brown, chestnut and havana. Only trimmings are bright. The new autumn and winter hats are made of moire, satitt, panne, vel- vet, crepe satin, and felt. They may be trimmed with ribbon, feathers, ostrich tips, long ostrich plumes, or cocks’ feathers that sweep the neck. There will be much black millinery, brightened by trimmings of silver, gold and gay colors, but trimming will not be overdone. Neatness is a foremost quality of modern millinery, but it may develop into hardness, and then a veil or scarf of tulle, vel- vet or soft satin is a desirable cor- jTective. Hats will not be light, HEADS ‘CHURCH. New Rockford, N. D., Sept. 28.— Dr. C. H.

Offenders Will Quit Refusing Grain For Storage The practice of elevator companies in refusing to store grain and of- fering instead purchase contracts to farmers will be discontinued, John N. Hagan, state supervisor of grains, said today,’ Information was given | him by one lihe elevator house that the practice had been discontinu: and promise was made by the other offending elevator company that it would be discontinued, when he made vigorous protest to officials in Minneapolis, he added. “Ufider the law a storage ticket must be given when demanded,” Mr. Hagan said. “If the initiated grain grading act is held constitutional | any elevator corporation or public warehouse operating in North Dako- | ta that refuses to receive grain for | storage will be closed immediately. If the initiated act is declared un- constitutional power will rest in the | railroad commission again and I feel as though the railroad commission would immediately stop the prac- tice.” Two line elevator companies have sought to Substitute contract pur- chase for storage, these being the two that promised it would not con- tinue. NEGRO WOMEN’ URGE EXODUS ChidMmo, Sept. 28—That negro wo- men, striving for better conditions | for themselves and their husbands, and, better educational and other ad- vaglages for their children, are be- hing the migration of southern. ne- | groes from the planations ta the northern cities, is the \conclusion of the Rev, Dr. W.'A. C, Hughes, super- intendent of the department of ne- gro Work of the Methodist Episcopal church, Dr. Hughes, himself of negro blood, has made a wide study of the condi- tions and reasons causing the south: ern negrges to migrate to the cities and factories of the north. “Behind the industrious, hard- wogking negro man in this present migration, is the negro wife and moth- er,” says Dr. Hughes. “The constant dread that a son or a husband wilt say ‘to much’ is the thing that is} wearing threadbare the nerves of the negro woman of the south. Added to’ this is the lack of opportunity for, her child, and she is the driving power of the present movement from the south.” Illinois seems to be the favored lo- cality, according to Dr. Hughes. “More than 100,000 negroes hive left 11,000 farms in Georgia alone,” he declared. “A late survey of negro} congregations in rural communities of the Atlanta conference substanti- ates the estimate that 2,500 meurben have left Ilkes courity alone. W. Long of Clemson college has found that 50,000 negroes had left 41 cou ties. The delta regions of Missi sippi lost 12,000 workmen in the last six months of 1922.” Dr. Hughes has found many cases of team-work on the part of impov- erisheq negroes who wanted to go north. By pooling their resources a number send one or two of their grovp north, and these in turn send ‘most of their wages. back to bring ‘up the remainder. Fancy Spring Chickens.
