"MOVTNG on"

The proposition to create public park on the
site of Chinatown" in order to get rid Of tha
detestable slums and dens which now character
ize the place has met with some approval and
from certain points of view seems COmmendabIo
There can be no question as to the obier+ioDohIa
character Of large part Of "Chinatown." II is
a blot on the map OF the city for which. how
ever, responsibility rests not so much unon the
Chinese residents as upon the criminal and
vicious members of other races who have made
that quarter a place of resort for all manner Of
evil purposes. If the place could be purified and
kept purified or abolished and kept abolished.
the gain for morality and law would be great.
Less than half Of such an end would however
be attained by simply condemning the region
ana transforming it into a park. Unless there
were such a reversal Of practically invariable
practice as we can see no reason to expect.
chinatown would disappear from PelI street
merely to reappear in time elsewhere in all its
old oHensiveness- That has been the rule here
Ihlrty years ago the Mercer street police pre-

In "CaSSiers Magazine for April Dr. Louis

In what DR.. Bell has to say about water

that windmilIs, tide motors and mechanism for
getting work out of the waves do not promise
to become resources of large capacity is in
harmony with the opinion of the majority Of
experts who have studied them carefully. Re
garding the practicabilty of realizing Ericsson's

HoDGEpoDGE STREET SIGNS.

Some recent criticisms in these columns of the
lack of uniformity in the design and placing of
street signs have called forth comments from
Tribune readers. pro and contra. 4 few of
these contend that uniformity is impracticable
even II desirable. but most Of them agree will
us in condcmning the hodgepodge system or
lack of system, which prevails TO large an
extent BY the placing of signs lampposts
It would bc possible to make them all exactly
