Of course King Plerp the First had to be with the other crowned at George’s coronation, And he was “there” with the style, too, to this from the dispatches: ir.

This will obviate delays and somewhat Qllay suspicion of general rascality in the departments. As things now &re, the public is left to the alternative of believing that either the Gepartment floors or the department managers are an almighty dirty bot. Wasting Our Substance A visitor in New York called the attention of a policeman to the fact that a long row of electric lights was burning in the midday sun- @hine of Central Park. “Where do you come from?” asked the pelice- Man. “Kansas City,” sald the stranger. “Durned if I don’t think so,” Qald the “copper,” as he slouched away That incident precipitated a discussion not only on the question of P: Beat wastefulness, but on the general wastefulnesa of living in cities. It is found that residence and business blocks are so built to require twice the artificial light that would be needed under a more mt scheme of construction; that at least double the necessary Qmount of water is used; and that enough food ts thrown away to sus- tain as many again as it now does. Twice the comfort for the same price, or as much as we now get for half the money—isn’t it worth going after? The subject ts worthy @f general discussion, for somehow we have got to find better con- Gitions of living for the millions who dwell in great towns.
