NEW IDEA IN BUILDING

Buenos Aires has an architect in
Prof. Pierre Roveda, who has devised
a special plan for building whole dis
tricts of houses for the workingman.
Instead of erecting the houses on the
ordinary square block Professor Row
eda has used circle which has dla.
meter of from 100 to 1870 yards.
This circle of ground is divided into
80 radial lots converging to center.
The circle is concentrically divided to
form an interior avenue four yards
broad to allow communication with
the center of the circle. Each avenue
leads to external side walks and to
longitudinal and transverse streets.
In the center of the circle is plot
of 40 yards in diameter where chill
dren may be left to themselves with
out their parents care, in charge OF
a specially designated person, In this
garden a playroom, a school, a fire
station and an administration room
are to be found.
Naturally this circular plot OF
ground leaves free four corners. II
each of these four corners the pro
fessor proposes to build four chalets
such as grocery shops, dairies, hab
erdasherles and the like, which are
| intended to be carried on in coop
erative way, In each of the SO radia
plots a workingman's house is to b'
erected on the English plan. Profes
sor Roveda argues for ais circula
arrangement that It will give continu
Gus sunshine at all hours of the da!
and plenty of light and air.-Chicag'
Tribune.

ONLY ONE IN THAT CLASS

There is one plank in the state Dem
ocratic platform that means more to
the people of Ohio than anything the
Republican bosses will be able to put
in the political hodge,podge that will
be issued by their convention and call
ed a platform.
Read it again: "Instead of protect
ing and defending grafters, as was
the way of Republican officers, the
present governor is having them pros
ecuted and sued for the return to the
state of the many thousands of dollars
secured by fraud and wrong-doing.
Every agency at his command is being
employed to bring to account officers
who were recreant to the trusts re-
posed in them by the people"
The Republican convention will not
be able to say anything like that about
Governor Herrick or Governor Harris.

GARFIELD eLuNDERs AGAIN

Jimmy Garfield, the "99-cent" ter
ror of the beef trust, is reported fay
oring pledge in the state Republi-
can platform for a public utilities law.
II is said that che argued that this
was not only right, but good politics,
since the Democrats in the senate de-

If Jimmy said anything like that he
doesn't know any more about the de-
feat of the Woods bill than his "99
cents profit report showed that he
knew about the beef trust after ex'
aminng the trusts books for Roose'
