REAL BEAUTY INBUILDING [GNORED, HIS VIEW Kansas City Speaker Tells Realty Men American Cities Are Woefully Neglected. DETROIT, June 27.—The wanton abuse of beauty by Americans in the upbuilding of their cities has created 2 condition which will take billions of dollars to improve and which can not be entirely corrected short of razing many cities to the ground, said H. R. Ennis, of Kansas City, in an address before the general sessions of the Na- tonal Association of Real Estate tioards in convention here. Mr. Ennis last year traveled 50,000 miles about the country as president of the organization and has had an exceptional opportunity to observe conditions in hundreds of cities and towns. “Go to almost any American city and you will find that beauty has been wantonly disregarded and the rights of property owners, children and citi zens generally disregarded. The mind of America has been too much turned to “money-making and the material side of life; it has ignored the demands of the aesthetic. And the aesthetic side can not be disregarded without grave effects upon character. Improves “Little by Little.” “Littie by little the demands of re making themselves felt and nce to them one can, in many see Juxurious stores, stately buildings and residence districts with distinction and charm. But the effect of these improvements is marred by glaring billboards, overhead signs, dirty vacant lots, filthy alleys and dilapidated pld shacks that are at once an evesoré’and a menace to anyone who comes near them. If cleanliness be next to godliness, then surely filthy ons mean moral corruption. an has a moral right to let be used as a dump for rbage or a hothouse for weeds: no s a moral right to mar the e of a residentizl district by b vhich is entirely out others there; no wral right to make an e business district by F historic old firetrap tween a dignified bank and a stately office building. 0 one likes to do business in a{ store and few prospective ten- vision enouzh to detect ractive room. < the type of of money exclusive- ess deals should not be able t beauty can also increase Beauty is an argument for -sighted which should win both the altrufstic and the materfal- istic. There is no excuse for either type not to take it into account. Vacant Lots Filled With Trash. “I have seen vacant lots filled with trash of all kinds, a dumping place for old automobiles and other rubbish, bill- boards covering ‘the whole width of the reet, and -if a corner, beth streets. Advertising companies secure for a mere pittance the prominent vacant properties of our cities, roofs and fronts of buildings and other points of vantage until they become a constant irritation and disgrace. The billboard situation is serious. ESTATE HITS LEGISLATORS WHEN SENTENCING BANDITS Court Says Life Terms Are Im- practioal While Lawmakers Prac- tice in Criminal Courts. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 27.—Judge Rosalsky, in imposing long prison sentences on two highwaymen yester- day, declared the resolution calling for life imprisonment of bandits, adopted by the Board of Trade, “‘was impractical as long as we have lawyers in the legisiature who prac- tice in criminal courts.” The robbers, Charles Stapleton and James D. Jones, pleaded guilty to holding up a downtown restaurant and stealing $50. Stapleton was given an 18-year and Jones a 15-year sentence. Judge Rosals] said that in 1921 e and Judge Nott appeared before the assembly codes committee of the legislature and asked that life im- prisonment be made the penalty for first degree robbery and burglary. “I found the members of the com- mittee were principally lawyers.” the judge said, “and. of course, the amend- ments were killed. Apparently, their first thought is for their clients, and not the people of the State of New York.” e CHARLESTON CHOSEN. Foreign Trade Council Will Meet in South Next Year.

Picture a Solicitor Coming to the Home to Take Orders for Coal— “I want to interest you in a new fuel called coal that will cost less than what you pay for oil,” the solicitor says. “Fine,” says the householder, “you can put a tank under ground for me imme- diately.’ “But we don’t sell coal through a tank. ‘We sell it by the ton.” “Do you think I'll need a ton?” “You'll probably need about seven tons.” “But won't that fill my cellar?” “Only psrt of it, and you'll save fifty cents a ton by buying it now. You can build s tight bin so that the dust from the coal won't get upstairs.” “But if I buy all my coal now I'll have to pay for it now and lose interest on my money. I've been used to getting oil without worrying about it, and I never had to pay for my whole Winter’s supply at one clip. Still fifty cents a ton is worth saving. How do I use itP” “Well you buy s special furnace, built tightly so the coal ges won’t get through the house. And you've got to watch the dampers, 80 your coal doesn’t burn too rapidly when- ever the wind is blowing. Also see that your flues are clear, so you'll get enough draft to make your fire burn.” “I suppose it’s as easy to start the fire as it is with 0il P” “Oh, no! You have to start a small fire with paper and kindling wood. This is quite a job, but you can avoid doing it more than once a year by keeping your fire burning through the Winter.” “But I won't need heat in the house all the time. What else do I have to do? “Not much, except to provide for the ashes that are left after the coal is burned. These ashes are pretty dirty and sometimes red-hot when they come out of the furnace, so be sure to keep your ash cans and other containers dust tight and fireproof. At a small extra expense you can get a man to come around and cart the ashes off.” “Thl_t ‘saving’ seems to be fading away, doesn’t it? What else is there?” “Of course, you have to be sure the fire is kept up by shoveling in coal from the bin. I.n cold weather you’ll have to do this several times a day. You can hire a man to do it, or your wife and children could lend a hand, if they don’t mind the dirt.” “Good-night saving! Instead of a clean fuel which comes to me without care or worry; which I don’t have to order months in advance; which I can use every bit of to heat my house, and which can be utilized without work or annoyance by any of my f_lmily now, in order to use coal, I have to give up part of my nice modern cellar, where my, children play and where I store my pro- visions, to the storage of a fuel which you say is dirty and the ashes of which are dirtier still. I must keep my furnace in good condition to aveid the fumes of coal gas. I have to order my coal in advance without knowing how cold the Winter is going to be, and then wait for it, with the possibility of a strike or transportation tie-up. I've got to hire a man to look after it, or put an addi- tional burden on the shoulders of my family. I have an overheated house at one time and an underheated house at another—and all this for a saving (?) of a few dollars a year. Frankly, I don’t see where the saving comes in, Thank you for calling, but I guess I'll stick to OIL.” Before You Fill Your Coal Bin Associated Oil-Burner Dealers f Washington 1310 14th St. N.W.
