Our elreulation Based upan this audit, This ftoetion agatnst fraud In new tribution figures to both na | local advertisers, & EremEETm e ——— ZONING PLAN TAKEN UP | At least a beginning has been made in the important matter of soning the city for the protection of property and for the systematizing of futrue development of the city, A statement | was presented to the common council | Jast evening by Councilman A, G.| Crusberg concerning the matter and was ordered printed so that the mem. bers of the hody may have it in thelr hands before the next meeting. The statement was published in this news- paper yesterday, and 1s worthy of the notice of all Interested in sound property values and the future of the city. One portion of that statement covers the situation in a few words and Is here quoted: “At the present time,” réads that portion of the statement, “there are many undesirable garages, small stores, small manufacturing enter- prises which are being erected at ran- dom throughout the city, and which naturally causes citizens to express concern as to the safety of investment ip property.” The city plan commis- sion is asked, In the statement, to look into the advisability of establishing a zoning ordinance in this city * A * to- gether wth recommendations as to en- forcement and a commission having justidiction, and “that report be made by the aforesald commission at the October meeting of the common council on the foregoing subject.” In its continued advocacy of the adoption of a zoning plan for this city this newspaper has had in mind, as the sponsors of this statement pre- sented to the common council un- doubtedly had in mind, keeping the city's present property values as they are or seeing them enhanced, and also making provisions to safeguard those values in the future. Undoubtedly care will be taken to see that no property owner suffers fi- nancially from this plan, but on the contrary that all property owners will be made more secure. It is satisfactory to nots that this matter has at last been taken up in apparent earnest. It has been neglected too long. of . el a “THANKLISS TASKS” A remark often heard from the lips of a public official or others try- ing to accomplish something, is ““This s a thankless task.” No job, well +done, is “thankless.” Leaving out of the calculation the fact that a per- son's consclousness that he has done the work well is, in itsélf thanks worth winning, there are always peo- ple who appreciate the worker's ac- complishment even though the work- er never hears of such appreciation. Human nature demands some recog- nition of labor well performed. Too much praise spoils many; too little ruins others. If the fact that their work counts were more generally ap- preclated by people who believe their preciated by people who believe theirs | is a “thankless task.” they would have | the courage to keep everlastingly at it, | convinced of the truth that what they | do well ig not “thankless." In this city recently there has been an example of this situation. We had an efficient health officer. He had many plans for the betterment ori health conditions in this city. Some of them he “put over.” Often he was practically without hope that he could accomplish what he wanted to. | He felt falrly secure of his job, but; He was sure of it as Had anyone told | none too sure events have shown him a few months ago that, upon his | resignation, a movement to raise his salary over $1,000 started he would not have credited the state- would be | ment That health officer ha eccept a more lucrative position. That the resigned to movement, to meet increased ealary he been carried out but for the realiza- | tion by those back of it that it wmvfl do no good. The mayor has written | the authorities of the city to which | the health superintendent is going, | that sald city is to be congratulated on | securing him. And yet, even {f he did probable that | was to receive, would have not say publicly, it is uperintendent, afy f his our former heaith ter the failure, plan to have our water supply pro- tected by prohibiting cutting of ice on Shuttle Meadow lake adopted had the discouraging thought that his was a “ghankless task.” Compliments, espe- for instance, o about freely.

Now comes this Mummert chap who builds a plane about half as large as Barbot's and lets an alr pilot play with it over Roosevglt Field, Long Island. The pilot soars up about @ quarter of a mile in the baby affair which welghs, pilot and all, only about 500 pounds, and actually doés some mod- est stunts in the air, propelled by the little two-cylinder, 14 horse power en- gine. He flew along at the rate of some 70 miles an hour. Later the maker stated that the little plane could fly over a distance equal to about a third of the way gcross the continent on one filllng of gass. Now all this news should not make Henry stop running for president if he wants to. Henry makes a nice lit- tle instrument, and he has just as good a chance of riding up to the| White House in one of his little crea- tions as Bryan had of rolling up there on the wheels in his own head, or as| anyone has of flying there in this little | baby Mummert ajrplane. But the news should make future purchasers of land figure on enough ground to allow them to build, in addition to the necessary garage, a small hangar in| which' to keep their infant prodigy of the air. For we must all own them | —even if we don’t acquire the nerve to fly in ‘em. . | | AN ENTANGLING ALLIANCE. An authoritative and clever writer | on political matters has said that in| New York state the Republican or- ganization has sued for a separation from the Anti-Saloon League, without | assuming alimony obligations. Louis | Seibold adds further that the Rfi-} publican organization in New Jersey also has practically dissolved partner- | ship with the League, and that other gtates have tried to do =0 If this is true in New York it is| certainly partially due to the attempts of Anderson, superintendent of the League, to dictate to the organization in his customary arbitrary manner. But there is significance in the sug- | gestion that organization i “suing for a separation.” Tn the first, place admits that a certain sort of a union did exist— that the of the Republican machine New York state were In-i fluenced, especially the actions of up- staters, by Anderson and his crowd And if, Indeed, the organization is] suing for a separation without ' nothing | | a politieal it a activities ir much suming allmony obligations” could be plainer than that it is try- ing to escapé paying the penaity for disgusted with Anderson and all his works. Fome organizations and people have separated themselves from the League, presumably because of him and his metheds. Rut, fort. unately or unfortunately, the Repub- liean organization of New York state cannot obtain the desired separation without retaining allmeny obllgations in the form of the Anderson taint Those who like to see matters fought out in the open are “glad to note any indieation that this matter of the Volstead Jaw is likely to he made a real issue, and that the votes of the people may decide publie senti- ment on the matter of modification or otherwise, No country thrives on cowardice: hiding the real lssues un- der wordy, meaningless platforms which present only false lssues Is cowardice, And we want this country to thrive. The circus has rumbled Its way out of town; ‘The stakes are all up And the tents are all down; The spangles have vanished, Performer and eclown; We sit down to work With a grouch and a frown. For, long years ago— And we've never forgot— No work tled us down When the weather was hot; The circus might leave But we cared not a jot— The next day was spent Finding things on the lot. And then came the splashing in the old swimmin' hole—which reminds us; where is it located at the présent writing? Good time to buy laundry stock! Also most people look as though they'd never heard the word—laun- ary. All of us feel that way. No wonder they're all going on polar expeditions. Where's the recruit- ing officer? Facts and Fancies BY ROBERT OUILLEN. | The British may not be multiplying, but they are becoming commoner. Fiction is improving in one way. The hero is no longer a second lieu- tenant. The agitator and the proletariat re- mind us that the sea would ‘be calm except for the wind. A small army, with God's help, may win a war; but it takes a big one to enforce the peace treaty. Poison pen letters are seldom effec- tive, however, unless somebody has been playing with fire. . The French peasant is a power be- cause he has the gold. Uncle Sam to the French peasant: “Shake.” The easiest way to keep a wife from nagging at you forever about money | is to give her some occasionally. Evidently all the queer names left over from the Pullman cars are used on apartment houses. “You know me, Al" is a funny line now, but it won't be if ever Al Smith gets to the White House. The thing to remember is that un- til Europe comes to order she won't come to order American goods. The primary business of law, how- ever, isn't to punish him for it, but to keep him from doing it. In China a governor is a man who can hire enough troops to collect enough taxes to pay the troops. A European economist says Ameri- ca is about to die of its gold. “O Death, where is thy sting?"

TOWN IS SAVED Linguaglossa Will Not Be Devastated Unless There is a New Outbreak of " Voleano—Patron Saint 1s Praised. By Tho Associated Press. Catania, Italy, June 21.—Unless there is a new and strong emission of lava from Mourt Etna the town of Linguaglossa which has been threat- ened for the last three days, is almost certainly safe from destruction, says officlal reports from the devastated | region. The huge stream of lava which has been advancing steadily toward the town now has been deviated into a | side road and is flowing with accel~ erated velocity into a neighboring valley which is gradually becoming a veritable lake of fire. The few inhabitants remaining in Linguaglossa ascribe the diversion of the lava to the town's patron saint, Saint Edigo, to whom prayers and gifts were fervently offered through- out the recent days of terror. The atmosphere for miles around the volcano is still dense with the| ashes hurled skyward trom the crater, which is now completely hidden by a dense pall of smoke and cinders. Thunderous explosions continue and from all quarters are heard distres- sing tales of wild stampedes by the| panic-stricken population, destruction of homes and heroic efforts at rescue, CANADIAN PREMIER GETS DEGREE FROM HARVARD Doctor of Laws is Conferred Upon William Lyon Mackenzie King— Other Honors Are Bestowed.
