Fortunately, there has come eman-
cipation for the modern housewife so
far as many Of the former services
are concerned. What she now has
to do she can find time to do right.
In large part this result comes from
the better methods of doing things

has to assist her in doing them.
If this time of high prices serves
to increase the tendency to bring
scientific housekeeping into the
homes, ii will prove. after all, for

The Offensive Billboard

In commenting upon the recent de-
cision of the supreme court of Mis-
souri, authorizing the enforcement by
the city of st. Louis of certain rea-
sonable regulations and restrictions
against billboards, the New York
Evening Post says:
In Washington no more permits
are being issued and billboards there
will soon disappear altogether II the
district commissioners maintain
their attitude on the subject In
Kansas City and Cincinnati progress
has been made toward restriction.
In England parliament passed an act
in 1907 giving local authorities BOW
Ter to regulate or even prevent the
exhibition of advertisements In such
| places and In such manner as TO af-
feet iniuriously the amenities of a
public park or pleasure promenade
or to dishgure the natural beauty of
a landscape distinct step in adj
vance of any American legislation.
There is plenty of room yet for the
exercise OF the authority so granted

200 annually from the holders of the
privilege In South American cities
such as Buenos Ayres, Rio Janeiro,
l1imaand Valparaiso billboards are re-
guated and taxed, the city of Buen-
os Ayres itself putting up the boards
and renting the space. In America
are almost the only cities in the
world where the billboard-untaXed
and scarcely regulated at all--is free
to revel in its blight
It is clear that the shameless bill
board will not be endured many
years by public opinion, which up to
the present time has borne with il
much too patiently. In view of the
growing revolt against the tyranny
OF the hideous, unsafe and insanitary
billboard the people of Chicago must
insist that their city council give nc
unnecessary leeway to billboard con
Germs in the new building ordinances
or otherwise.
The courts may be relied upon tC
grant full justice to billboard mer
and to property owners who harbol
the monstrosities erected along pub
lie ways for the display Of huge pos
ters of every description. Therefore
the council should restrain any in
clnation it may have to concede t
property owners privileges such a:
that of erecting billboards on the
tops of buildings.
