THE NEW ART OF
TOWN BUILDING

Sun plans are necessary for houses,
and just as necessary for towns. Some
towns have them. London is one of
these fortunate places. Its plan is de-
scribed by f. H. MacGregor of the
Wisconsin library commission in a
pamphlet on tenement house legisla-
ton.
London provides that no dwelling
house shall be higher than the width
of the street on which it faces. Tnis
lets the sun into front windows. But
there are back windows as well. For
these it provides in a novel way. 1t
draws an Imaginary line through the
middle of a house from front to back
calls the horizontal" If continued
far enough this ''horizontaI' is bound
to cross the back boundary OF the
building lot. From this meeting point
a line is drawn back over the "hori-
zontaI' at an angle of '6S1s degrees.
Beyond this second line no part of the
house but chimneys and dormers may
extend. This prevents the sun from be-
ing shut out of back rooms.
But the need of sunlight is only one
of the problems to be taken into con-
sideration in planning a town. The new
art of town-planning which is de-
scribed in a special number of Chari-
ties, published February 1, 1908, makes
provision for other needs. The good
plan should, we learn, provide, first,
for the limitation of the area in which
factories may be built. Workingmen
are to be allowed to spend their leisure
away from the sight and sound of their
work. This, of course, compllcates the
transportation problem, which must be
carefully considered.
A good town-plan provides, second,
for the number of houses that may be
built upon an acre of land. 1t limits
the height of tenements and prescribes
haw large a part Of building lot a
house NAV cover.
The plan, if properly constructed,
provides, third, for the social needs OF
the people. 1t leaves space for parks
and Fairgrounds and civic oenters. Nor
does it forget that there is an indi-
viduality in towns as well as in peo-
pie. while providing for certain needs
which are found in all communities 1t
respects the special features which dis
tinguish one town from naother. If
the town lies near a lake or by a river
1t makes the most of this advantageous
position. If it has a beautiful rolling
surface it refuses to allow land specu-
lators to lay it out in rectangular
blocks in order to increase the 'front.'
age of the building lots.
Laws Passed in This Country
Town planning is in the air. John
Burns has a housing and town plan
ming bill before parliament, Last week
a large number of people interested in
this measure made a trip from Eng
land to Germany to see Dusseldorf,
Frankfort and other cities that have
taken hold of their suburban extern
sions and are laying them out scienti-
fically. Germany may be said to be
ahead in the art of town planning, for
there are courses in the subject in six
universities and in Berlin there Is pub
lished periodical called Staedtebau,
devoted exclusively to the problem OF
laying out and remodeling cities.

On Halloween.
ARRESTS ARE PROBABLE
palladium Specially

Hagerstown,. Ind. Nov. 2.-Consider-
able damage was done to property in
this vicinity on Saturday night in the
observance of Halloween. Every
thing that was not chained was car
ried away Or else demolished to great
extent. Shutters, wagons and gates
were carried away and were found by
their owners the next morning several
blocks from their accustomed places
Fences were torn down, door bells
rung, tin cans with strings attached
were stretched across the sidewalks to
catch unwary pedestrians. and in fact
life generally was made miserable for
the more peaceably inclined In view
of some of the more serious damage
done. and the fact that several of the
culprits are known, it is ve~y probable
that there may be some arrests within
the course of the next few days and an
astonished and frightened bunch OF
youngsters made to appear before the
court of the justice of the peace.

"PolIv Of the Circus"

Mr.. Frederic Thompson who sends
his massive production of Polly of
the Circus with Fay Wallace in the
leading part to Richmond Saturday,
November 6, matinee and night is one
of the very few producers in this
country, that believe in originality for
his plays and while he personally COIL
ducts all his rehearsals of his differ
ent productions, he never allows any
one to interfere with that branch of
work. During Mr.. Thompson's career
as a manager and producer he has
never known to produce a failure, he
having launched such pronounced sue
cesses as "Brewster's Millions" Via
Wireless" and "a Fool There Was"
and that ever popular circus drama,
Polly of the Circus which comes to
the Gennett Saturday, matinee and
night, November 6. This production
is one of the few circus plays that
has been shown with real life of the
circus as its chief pictures, and as for
true realistic scenes. it can be seen
that the master hand of Frederic
Thompson, the wizard Of the New
York Hippodrome and the greatest
amusement park in the world, Luna
Park, Coney Island also at New York
City This play is produced exactly
as presented for one solid year at the
Liberty theater, New York City.

Novelists and Love.

Charles Lever believed that novelists
should retire or at all events refrain
from writing love stories in due sea-
son. In his fifty-ninth year the author
Of "Charles O'Malley" writes to his
publisher: What you hint about real
love story is good. but don't forget
that Thackeray said that no old man
must prate about love- l remember

The MURRAY 1heater.

"The best what is't" is a term trite,
but perfectly true of the present bill

Five Juggling Normans' opening here

sidered by all "Vode" followers to
have the largest fist in the fight for

it's kind to show in the Murray thea

Percival, Shaw and Sherman present
another feature act entitled "A Family
Mixup." In this little playlet there
is a boy, a girl. and an old man. The
old man wants the boy. who is his son,
to get married. He accordingly plays
the Miles Standish act and courts the
girl for his boy. The girl having
keen sense of humor, sees that the
old mans proposal might easily he
construed as a proposal for. himself
and then the "mix-up" occurs. The

calls on the girl one evening. The
girl puts the boy next to her game
This is what followed. She did accept
the old mans proposal, and more, she
made the boy believe that she really
was in love with his dad. Can you

the boy thought? Don't try, go and

Presented All Of His Data.

At the request of the society Peary
forwarded all of his data to it a few
days ago. The organization promptly
turned the papers over to the Board
of Managers. which in turn named a
subcommittee of investigation.
To this committee was appointed
Rear Admiral c. H. Chester, T. H.
Tittmann, of the Coast and Geodetic
Survey, and Henry Gannett. chairman
of the United States Geographical
board.
The members of the subcommittee
are regarded by the society as the
best fitted scientists in the United
States to pass upon the documents pre-
scented.
The explorer left last night for New
York. where he will spend today in
consultation with the officers of the
Peary Arctic club. He will then pro-
coed to his home in Maine.
