4 - CAPITAL PLANNING STUDIED INBRITAIN London Architect Believes American Methods Ap- ply in England. BY WILLIAM RUFUS SCOTT. Special Dispatch to The Star LONDON, September 3.—It will be a satisfaction to Washington to know that its city planning, zoning, hous ing and general construction regula-} tions are being studied throughout Great Britain, as models for municipal expansion, through the report of G. Topham Forrest, . R. L. B. A. architect of the London County, as the result of his recent American visit. Mr. Forrest, whose position corre sponds to the city a itect of the larger cities of the United States, but which {s rather broader in scope be- cause he also has influence in mat- ters which usually come under a fine ar commission, is warm in his p se of the courtesies received in Washington, New York. Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Boston, Buffalo and other cities cited at length in his report His general conclusion is that Lon- don can adopt many ideas he found in America with great advantage to the development of the -world largest city. The work of the Na- tional Fine Arts Commission, espe- cially, in guiding Washington along the plans c the original L'Enfant scheme, wins his commendatiol S does the control being exercised over resid ial districts, height of build- ings, commercial areas, etc King's Approval. King George showed approval o the main recommendations in Mr. Forrest’s report on his American tour 1t the formal opening on July 18 of Ken Wood, a park of 121 when his majesty said “Until recent vears we were ac- customed to regard the expansion of ordon as an inevitable and uncon- trollable force, and could only resret | the loss of so much natural beauty Experience. has now shown that, while the growth of towns cannot be retarded, it can be so guided by en- lightened public spirit that the de- velopment of new areas need not destroy the present amenities of the district.” Thus is shown the new determina tion in London to end the haphazard expansion of the city, as well as to redeem the older areas so far as prac ticable. The American tourist im mediately is struck with the expensive work now going on of widening the Strand and other streets, and is greatly impressed with the reconsturction of Regent street with a proviso that only stone fronts may be erected. This will make Regent street an exceeding- { ly handsome thoroughfare of retafl| shops | Washington, therefore, or any of| its citizens, need not feel that the zoning regulations are peculiar to the National Capital. In London. as in the recent Supreme Court degision, the view is held that the public must be considered in building operations | as well as the individual owner's wishes. Hence, Mr. Forrest strongly | recommends that the height of build-| ings in London be regulated with re gard to sunlight, air and traffic. As traffic is now an acute problem in London, his views seem likely to pre- vail acres London Streets Narrow. The great difficulty here, as com pared with Washington or New York, | continues Mr. Forrest, is_in the nar.| row, crooked streets. The averaze width of London streets is 28 feet, while in New York, for instance, the main thoroughfares are 100 feet wide | and the cross streets 60 feet wide. Moreover, the streets In most Ameri can cities intersect at right angles, whereas, in London they not only are narrow but are a crazy-quilt layvout London is going through agitation over traffic that the act of Congress creatir present traffic control system Washington, but with much more of | a problem to solve than Washington | had because of the conditions men-| tioned above. Many London streets are no wider than our_alleys. The | advent of the volume of traffic now choking London streets was un dreamed of in the davs when the| streets were laid out, and Mr. Forrest i8 trving 4o find a solution of the problem in the regulation of “ild ings. so as to prevent further con-| gestion of population in areas where motor transportation already is at a maximum Just as in some of the newest resi- dential sections of Washington the Aayout of strets has at times violated | the orderly development of the city so in London, Mr. Forrest says, “Streets are usually laid out from plans prepared by owners of estates. In the result the general layout of an area is largely accidental.” And he comments upon the tendency of a stereotyped plan in these real estate development projects without regard to topographical conditions or the consideration of London as a whole Fire Prevention. The effect on the appearance and safety of streets, of signs and ad vertising, is considered more closely in America than in London, says Mr Forrest, who recommends additional authority be given the city in this re spect. As for fire escape facilities, Mr. Forrest, in the main, feels thaf London is in a satisfactory position, although the external stairs of Amer jcan theaters, for instance, are un known in London. And in London theaters smoking is freely permitted When he comes to the subject of Zoning Mr. Forrest is enthusiastic over the progress made in Washing- ton and other American cities, justfy ing his recommendations to the Lon don County Counell in this way: “With the enlargement of the town, elvic pride demands that its plannhing ghall be such as to give dignity, and when the town becomes a great city of various occupations and diverse in ferests, there arises need of control | of the various parts. primarily in order that the advantage of one shall not be exercised to the undue detri ment of other and neighboring inter- psts. In the cities of the United Htates there is a keen appreciation of the advantages to be obtained by the individual from the control exer- cised by the municipal bodies under ihe zoning ordinances: and the realiza tion on the part of the individual that zoning protects and enhances the value of his particular property. while at the same time encouraging ihe improvernent of the general lay- put of the town, accounts for, the fact that there has been widespread adop. tion of zor principles and legisla. tion all over the countr: Property Qwner Benefited. Tt is apparent throughout Mr. For rest’s analysis of American conditions that he believes the individual prop- erty owner is benefited by the re strictions imposed far beyond any loss the owner may assume comes to him when prevented from turning a resi- dence into a store, or doing something else with his property that seems de- sirable at the moment. In other words, the zoning plan, he contends, is not an unwarranted interference with in dividual rights, but a_promoter of in- dividual interests in the long run Mr. Forrest, however. reminds his British public that London is not | sonable that ONCE UPON A TIME JANSEL AND GRETEL HAD NOTHING MORE TO FEAR SO THEY ENTERED THE WITCH'S HOUSE AND THERE THEY SAW, IN EVERY CORNER OF HER ROOM BOXES OF PEARLS AND DIAMONDS, © McClure Newspaper Syndicate THE EVENING STAR < O.NMEL STUFFED IS POCKETS WITH TNE’ JEWELS AND GRETEL FILLED HER APRON, 'NON, SAID HANSEL ,WE WILL LEAVE. THIS WITCH'S WOOD AS FAST As WE CAN" famous architect Wren, builder of St. Paul's and other noted churches, pro- posed ‘a rebuilding scheme for Lon- don after the great fire of 1666 in which the fundamental ideas of zon- ing were set forth. Wren wanted wider streets then and to isolate cer- tain industries, such as those which yield “noisome smells.” and to: have buildings m to beauty as well and utility. But the city | was rebuilt largely on the old lines. Modern zoning, by the way, Mr. Forrest attributes to Napoleon. The conqueror insisted that in subjugated German towns dangerous manufactur- ing operations, or those that were un- healthy or offensive, should be segre- gated. Germany adopted these ideas later in ¢ towns and widened the control of building. The United States, in turn, borrowed the ideas, and now they are coming back to England with | renewed force. Quotes Maj. Wheeler. Quoting Maj. R. A. Wheeler, execu tive officer of the Zoning Commission of the District of Columbia, Mr. For rest says that speculative inflation of real ate values is eliminated by a proper regulation of commercial and residential areas. He further quotes j. Wheeler to this effect “It in functional street planning we now propose to discriminate between street needs and allow different kinds of streets to meet those needs, we should permit differences of legisla- tion in the regulation of buiidings upon the streets. The real city is a federation of neighborhoods. To rec- ognize this is the function of zoning.” Washington is placed first in Mr. Forrest’s analysis of American zon- ing practices, though possibly because he visited that city early in his tour of the United States. It is interesting to note that he includes a statement of the zoning rules for Takoma Park, Md., and also of Baltimore and Nor- folk. He was informed at the De- partment of Commerce in W ton that 261 cities and towns in the United States had zoning laws in operation at the beginning of 19 The work of art commi America is rated highly important by Mr. Forrest, who discusses the Na- tional Commission of Fine Arts in Washington at considerable length. He traces the history of Washington as a city and of the plans for its development, culminating in 1910 in the creation of the National Commis- sion. The location and design of the Lincoln Memorial are cited as proofs of the utility of the commission, whose advice on these questions was followed in the main, with especial reference to carrying out the original L'Enfant scheme, and he quotes the commission that “probably the next quarter of a century will mark the greatest building activity ever under- taken by the Government since the City of Washington was begun,” with the conclusion that the comm on's work comes at a most opportune time. The Anacostia Park, Mount Hamilton project, the area between the Capitol and Treasury and other plans are listed by Mr. Forrest, while the views of the commission on sculpture and decorative effects are mentioned as having a beneficial influence. Under the heading of “Housing,” | Mr. Forrest recounts the work of the United States Housing Corporation, several drawings being presented for his British public. In discussing edu- cational construction he deals mainly with Detroit and New schools. The assumption, therefore, while seeking architectural ideas from other cities and still ready to learn from any source, the National Capital in its turn and by its own achievements also is wielding an influence upon other cities, including London. Mr. Forrest's report certainly is receiving the widest consideration in Great Britain, and through him Washington is most favorably pictured.

In the Long Lane leading from Farmer Brown's barnyard down to the Green Meadows and the corn fleld live certain little hot-tempered peo- ple. They had been there all Sum- mer. At first there had been only | a few of them, but now there were many of them and each one carried a sharp little lance. They lived be- side the road in a mossy bank. They were Yellowjackets, which, you know, are a kind of Wasp Now, at first no one had bothered them and sa they had bothered no one. But as they grew more and more numerous they began to make some trouble. Twice Farmer Brown's Boy was stung by them when he happened to stop close beside the little holes in the ground which were the entrances to their homes. Then one day Farmer Brown drove down the Long Lane and Bowser the Hound trotted along beside the wagon. Presently Bowser ran ahead. He thought he smelled something up on the bank, and, as is his way, he ran up with his nose to the ground. He ran right over the homes of the Yellowjackets. Out they came, each with his little lance ready for busi- ness. But Bowser had passed on and they didn’t see him. Farmer Brown and his two big horses, who were just passing. Things happened in the Long Lane! My I should say they did happe Sammy Jay saw it all and tells about it to this day. You see, those horses started to run away. Those horses always had been treated kindly, and they didn’'t know what to make of those sharp pains made by the lances of the Yellow- jackets. Farmer Brown himself fared no better. But he could pay no attention to anything but those | horses. Such a prancing and dancing and kicking and squealing! Such a plunging! It was a wonder that that wagon wasn't upset. But finally Farmer Brown managed to quiet the horses and by this time they had left the Yellowjackets behind. Farmer Brown got some mud and put. it on the wounds made by those sharp little lances. That made the horses feel better. He put some on his own wounds, too, and that made him feel better. It was after dark when Farmer Brown ventured to drive back up the Long Lane. The Yellowjackets had The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle (Copyright. 1925.} | THEY LIVED BESIDE THE ROAD They saw | BY THORNTON W. BURGESS all gone to bed. There was no more trouble, but he knew that there was likely to be trouble whenever any one passed that way. “We'll have to smoke them out,” said Farmer Brown. “We'll have to go down there and smoke them out.” Now, some one besides Sammy Jay had seen all that had happened That some one was Jimmy Skunk. | Jimmy had been taking a nap hidden | in the thick bushes that grew beside | the Long Lane. Of course, he had Hoan~ " ae A% IN A MOSSY BANK waked up at the sound of all that racket which the horses had made when they were stung. “Now, what does that mean?" said Jimmy Skunk to himself. “What can have happened to have upset those horses s0’ He lazily yawned and stretched Then he ambled out and looked up the Long Lane. “I don't see any: thing,” said Jimmy. “I don’t see any- thing to have frightened those horses so. They certainly were frightened. I wonder what it means. 1 think I'll have to stroll up that way by and by. Meanwhile I'll go back and finish my nap. There is no use in losing good sleep when one doesn't have to.” So Jimmy turned around and went back, and in two minutes he was once more curled up, taking a nap. When he awoke it was just before time for jolly, round, red Mr. Sun to go to bed behind the Purple Hills. Jimmy am- bled out into the Long Lane and then turned up the Long Lane. He hadn't forgotten that he was going to try to find out what had frightened Farm- er Brown’'s horses (Copyright. 1925.) B Across. . Flat tableland (plural). . Disturbances. 9. Gap .

The sundew, so plentiful these days on bogs near Beltsville, Forest Glen, Kenilworth, Suitland and Hyattsville, deserves the praises of the poets for its entrancing beauty. These praises it has never but once enjoyed, when Erasmus Darwin, grandfather of the great naturalist, celebrated its siren- like charms in some execrably bad verse, Still the sundew may yet come into its own in the popular estimation, for there is no denying that it is a curiously lovely little plant. Not more than six inches high, with a pretty basal rosette of leaves no larger than dimes on long stalks, the slender stem of the sundew rises, crowned at the top with a gracefal cluster of white flowers, minute but tiny masterpieces of floral symmetry. Look closely at the leaves and ex- amine the innumerable little crimson hairs. On each glitters a tiny jewel- like drop of clear liquid, which is what has earned the plant the charm- ing name of sundew. Should an insect alight on these leaves, and it is most likely to do so as the shining drops delude it into thinking nectar is present, it will stick fast in this viscous exudation. Slowly then, as though its presence had been made known by nerves, the leaves of the sundew fnroll, closing ir: on the helpless victim, curling over it, crushing it. Then the curious liquid begins its digestive action, which is practically similar to that of the chemistry of our own digestive juices, and the poor insect is digested. So innocent an exterior, so black a heart has the sundew. In the old countries the juices of the sundew, on account of their ability animal proteins, are used to curdle milk, and the collected and stored sundew liquid is a regular part of the economy of the peasant household in northern Europe. The curdling action of sundew may be seen to take éffect on milk in a very fe‘ moments. - preferable that stem ware The glass is st It the not a necessary are with us. s at Left. should be placed just after the forks on the left-hand side When there are spe- invited guests whether it is formally correct for fresh napkin are entertained as if the extra work entailed laundering of the guests only Those of the family daily, semi-weekly, | is to use napkin folders or flat fabric is mussed | rin; The napkin; of the place. the fresh napkins. be changed or whenever one’s napkin Each person is ured, getting his or her usual one. napkin rings are What, then, can be done in|paper will be forwarded on receipt ch member of thejof a family may have a distinct way of | envelope inclosed with a_request, di- folding the mapkin, which is a com- | rect to Lydia Le Baron Walker, care One that is better still| of The Star. the matter? mon method.
