PARIS OUTSTRIPS PLANS FOR GROWTH I5 Ot of Workd's Complex Puz- tles in City Planning Paris, Feb, 3.—The problem of guid- ing the growth of greater Paris pre- sents, according to French architects, one of the world's most complex pussles in eity planning, “Paris is like & woman who wants to follow the fashions, but they change so rapidly she cannet make up her mind which ones to adopt,” explained M, Bonnier, chief of the commission on the exten- shon of Paris, Paris has been crowded out of her old limits, like London and New York, during the past fifteen years, In fact Paris exists today, but not on paper, No less than twenty plans have been drawn for the stupendous task of gulding this growth, and so far not one has been adopted, To execute any of them would cost approximately half a billlon doflars, and just now Faris has not got that sum, Paris In 1923 is ly the third eity of the world, and spreading far out to the country by leaps ana boundas, Speculators are buying wherever they can land for residences, land for fac- tories and land for the new port con- necting Paris with the sea by mnkln:' use of the river Seine, Actually Paris has a population nearing the five million mark, If count is taken of the fact that the city has pushed its suburbs twelve miles, on a average, from Notre Dame Cathedra¥ the point from which distances are measured, Ofcially in 1921 the popu- lation of the city proper was 2,906,472, for that part of Paris contained within the old encircling fortifications, The extension of Paris presents the triple problem of Chicago, New York and Washington, according to local architects, For instance, Paris Is a political capital, llke Washington and must therefore be kept beautiful. But she is at the same time the greatest manufacturing trading and rallroad center of France, like Chicago and New York, and she has many of the problems of these cities. Likewise, Paris is a vast educational center. How to co-ordinate all these conflicting ele- ments, preserve her ancient traditions, and still go ahead, is the difficuity of those trying to guide her growth. A unique theory in city planning is | advanced by Architect Bonnler, “We must not set any hard and fast plan to force the development of the city,” he. maintains, “beyond Kkeeping the surburban lines of park space as the city races towards the country.” “No one can foresee our future,” he argues. “Paris, for instance, was never supposed to be a manufacturing center, yet today automobiles and thousands of other things are made here. . Suppose we plan space for these factories, and tomorrow they pick up and move fifty miles away? Where are we? population of Paris may be housed a hundred miles out, and ride to busi- ness in airplanes. Then, 1 ask again, where are our expensive but empty city dwellings? e : &4 Champs , Elysees ) “From the - point of view and grandeur, the Avenue - des Champs FElysees {s regarded as the finest street in the world.” “But it is a natural growth it was never pre-arranged. It was originally a part of the forest of Rouvray, that came to the very doors of the little city Paris was in those. days. The royal families living in the Louvre Five years from now the| wsed it a8 an exit to thelr country bomes 8t Baint Germain and Versallles and gradually the road was preserved. As the clly grew no one teek the trouble to build Loo near the road, and Nnally it was preserved and beautified, Today Farls Is tearing down the last line of the old eity fortifieations and making streels of them, This new | space will vastly improve the working | and living quarters both inside and outside the eity limits, These fortifica- tion spaces have an average width of 46 yards and are 20 miles long. The creation of a large eity in- volves various ehanges which would have te be passed upon by parliament, but as yet this aspeet of the situation |, |18 in abeyanee, | Meanwhile the' extension work is going on under the,prefect of the Selne, Ope plan contemplates the use of the tyenty forts ten or more miles from the center of Paris, now useless for military purposes, as parks and playgrounds, Another is to construet a broad highway, beginning where the Champs Elysees terminates at the Etolle monument, for a distance eof twenty miles to the forest of Haint Germain, Other plans include the erection of a model country town at Plessy-Robinson, the Port of Paris at Gennevillers, the removal of railway terminals from the center of the eity, and the extension of surburban rall- way lines, ENGLISH ORDER S Is Known There as the “Order of the Crusader” London, Feb, b.—A strange sccret society known as the Order of ihe Crusader, which seems to blend with an antique ritual certain points of re- semblance to the Ku Kiux Klan and the Kascistl of Italy, is springing up in England, According to a member of the or- der it was founded two years ago. During the last two months it has been conducting an intensive cam- paign for membership, and while it refuses to divulge the number of its members, it claims to have them in every section of Great Britain, The avowed object of the society is to bring back the spirit of the Cru- sader to everyday life, Meetings of the order are held be- hind closed doors. On ceremonial oc- casions the members are dressed in a striking garb. Officers wear crimson robes with a large white cross on the left side, and other members adopt a |hlack gown with a white surplice over it, on the breast of which is a red Cross, Some of the emblems order are suggestive of a different purpose, however. In the ritual a sword is carried to symbolize “serv- fce,” spurs are worn to represent “chivalry,” afd “loyalty"” is expressed by carrying banners. The literature of the order states that it af at forming “in every ward or" town and in every large village avdoniclave of crusaders, com- posed of, real leaders of public opin- jon in the locality.” TLater on they intend “to get crusaders into parlia- ment, on county and local councils, in the churches and out of them.” The initiation of candidates, as re- gards time, place and ceremony, close- ly resembles the Ku Kiux Klan. ‘When each candidate is initiated he is expected to make a donation of two pounds or more, there being no limit, to be used by the officials as they see fit. of the FOR SATURDAY WE OFFER GREATER VALUES THAN EVER SPECIALS—7 A.

M, WAS | FOUNDED N (540 Is 85 Years Older Than St. Au- gustine, Florida i | | | El Paso, Tex, Ieb. 5—Ysleta,| Texas, and Isleta, N. M., are two dif- ferent towns, but their history has been confused for perhaps a cen- tury. Now and then someone makes| the claim that Ysleta, Texas, is older by about 25 years than St. Augustine, Fla., said to be the oldest town in the United States. Yet in reality it is Isleta, N. M., if either, which is older than St. Augustine, modern historians say. Records have been found which credit Coronado with establishing a town in 1540 named Isieta or Ysleta. Some historians in® their research tried to establish the identity of that (M town 12 miles from El Paso, known as Ysleta Now, however, it is well established that Coronado was not close to El Paso, and that the nearest he got to this city was about 12 miles south of Albuquerque, N. M. The same distance from Albuquer- que as Ysleta is from El Paso, is‘a town called Isleta, which is the one probably referred to by Coronado, ac- cording to Mrs. J. M. Frank, teacher | of history at the El Paso high school. Ysleta, or Isleta, as the name of an Indian tribe, does not appear in history, until as late as 1840, so it is presumed that the Indians were named for the towns rather than the towns for the Indians. History tells of trouble the Tigua Indians and Spaniards around Albuquerque, and in Isleta, and of other trouble there and of In- dians fleeing from Isleta to the coun- try near El Paso. The Indians driven out, it is believed, established the present Ysleta, close to Il Paso. This was in 1680, At that time it was called Isleta Isleta of the South, In recent years, Isleta del Sur has been changed to Ysleta and Isleta has retained its ancient spelling. The difference in spelling has not beén an- accounted for. between del Sur, WIFE SEEKS A DIVORCE Said He Found The North Pole, is Heid ‘Who Former Explorer, For Having Whiskey Fort Worth, Texas, Feb. 9.—Dr. Frederick A. Cook, former Arctic ex- plorer, who once claimed to have dis- covered the North Pole, was arrested in a hotel here late last night, and today he gave bond of $500 to answer a charge of illegal possession of whis- Key. . Dr. Cook was trailed to the hotel by his wife, a city detective and a pa- trolman, who declared that he had the whiskey in a room with a young woman. Mrs. Marie Cook, the wife, filed suit for divorce, alleging cruel treatment and asking for custody of their child. . Dr. Cook denied that he was with a woman in the hotel and declared that his wife was trying to get his fortune. Mrs. Cook obtained an injunction re- straining her husband from with- drawing funds from a bank. Dr. Cook has been living in Fort ‘Worth for four years, buying and sell- ing ol leases and organizing com- panies which dealt in stock but have paid no dividends. Recently he ef- fected a merger and cailed on his stockholders to contribute to put it over and “draw out millions.” De- cause of this the postal authorities| now are investigating Dr. Cook's ac- tivities. Mrs. Cook has been married to the explorer for many years. After the Danish government reported that he never reached the pole, she remained 44 with him, going to many parts of the world with him. In speeches here and at Weatherford, Cook highly praised his wife for her faithfulness, I'resh eggs 51c dozen. Russell Bros. —advt. | . SLEEPING SICKNESS FATAL.
