A Model Village.

Passing from the insanitary to the san
itary condition. Mr.. Meakn showed pic
lures of a village that had been established
In the suburbs of Birmingham through the
benevolence of a wealthy manufacturer.
The houses had been built for the workmen
employed by this manufacturer and the en-
tire village had cost almost a million dol
lars. The village was laid out with plenty
of open space between buildings shade
trees and Fairgrounds for children being
provided. and during its first year had
Melted an income of $4,000. After the viii
lage had been thoroughly established on a
paying basis the manufacturer had pre-
scented IL to the state. with such stipula-
lions that it can never grow into a conges-
ted community. and the houses will al
ways have three times much ground
about them as is actually occupied by the
house.
From this portion of England Mr. Meakin
took his audience into Scotland by means
of pictures. and showed how the high ten
enent had grown up in Edinburgh and
how the evil had been ameliorated by laws
which compelled space as wide as a
tenement to be left between the buildings
Coming back to England. Mr.. Meakin
showed pictures of a model tenement or
block house." as 1t is called in England
He then passed over to Holland and Ger
there. The German houses were regarded
as by far the best that had been shown
during the evening and were examined
with care by the audience. Mr.. Meakin
described the successive experiments OF
Herr Krupp. the great gun manufacturer
and steel magnate of Essin, In building
an ideal village for his vast army of en-
ployes. During his lifetime Herr Krupp
built four distinct villages. each an I'M

divinity.

"PoT LUCK IN HARD LUCK.
Edmund Vance Cooke Fails to Prove
DraMina Card.


Those who took "pot luck with a
poet" at the Odeon Wednesday even
ing, upon the invitation OF Edmund
Vance Cooke. got more than the poet
did. for there We're scarcely thirty
people in the audience besides the the
ater employees. Mr. Cooke is a poet
whose rhymes have found ready sale
In the syndicate matter furnished met
ropoiitan news papers, and occasionally
il such publications as the Saturday
Evening Post. 1t Is not poetry that
has attracted national fame. however.
and the poet was almost unknown In
this community. hence his announce
ment that he would read in public
some OF his own verse failed to draw a
crowd.
Cooke is a reader of real dramatic
talent and with his power of imper-
sonaten gave his verse a lively inter-
est unknown to the printed verse. For
an hour and half, without intermis
sion, he talked and acted and elicfted
repeated applause from the handful of
listeners. On the whole he gave an
audience their moneys worth in his
show. altho his poetry is not yet of
the immortal kind.

the sport. The holiday was generally

THEY FEAR HARVARD
Yale Men Think the Crimson Will
Prove Most Formidable OPP

Victory by Comparatively.
Small Score. :

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. IT,
Among Yale men the feeling is gain
ing ground that the match with Har-
ward, which will wind up the football
season for both elevens next Saturday,
will prove a harder battle than that
with Princeton. Among Yale coaches
and trainers the opinion is felt that
Harvard has been rushing along at a
6ouble quick pace for a month, and
that Yale has the hardest task of the
year ahead of her to win next Satur-
days game on Soldiers field. When
Amherst won from Harvard feeling
began to be held at Yale that there
was a possibility that the blue might
be able to wipe out the memory of
the game on Soldiers field two years
ago when Charley Gould's eleven was
whipped. % to 0, by a bigger score
being rolled up by Yale this fall
against the crimson. This hope has
dwindled down to nothing now, and
the Yale leaders will feel that they
are doing well if they can get away
with victory by a comfortable margin
next Saturday.
At present the task of filling in
the gap between the two big games
of the year without the eleven going
stale or backward in their playing or
