PLANNING Town and CITY.

When anything is said or written Of
1.-THE city beautiful or city group
plan" the comment Of the average per-
son is: DELIGHTFULLY."- ideal! A fine
thing for big cities like New York.
Chicago and Boston. 1t really ought to
be done some time. But the cost is
terrific" The idea that should be
kept In mind is that any kind of city
improvement is absolutely practical
and profitable; that 1t is not only for
big cities. but for the smallest town or
village: that 1t is needed by every
suburban real estate development; also
that 1t Is not costly. 1t need not mean
a huge debt. Moreover, city improve
ment in any form is easily inaugural
ed. A few citizens of any community
who have the right standards OF life
can start on Its way movement for
city betterment that will eventually
bring numberless advantages to all the
citizens.

HAMILTON BEGINNING A FLIGHT
seems to "let go all holts" after hav-
ing mounted to great height. usually
from 800 to 1000 feet. and comes slid
ing down through the air at tremen-
dous speed, driven only by the weight
of his machine, the motor having been
shut Off Several times Hamilton has
had close calls while <2oing this feat,
the closest having been when he mis-
calculated his distance while flying
over Lake Washington, at Seattle. sew
eral months ago and dived into the
water. The surface of the lower planes
broke the force of his fall so effectual-
ly that he got off almost unhurt.
Hamilton prior to the development
of the aeroplane had dabbled with ev
cry sort of flying device that had been
invented From the Anticipated gas
bag balloon. grown familiar to every
one, he progressed to the dirigible
when 1t was introduced and then ex-
perimented with the kites which i'm
mediately preceded the aeroplane. With
all Of them he Is said to have had his
thrilling escapes.
Perhaps the nearest to death that
Hamilton has been In his career was
once when he went up in dirigible
from Paterson, N. J. Right after be
left the ground he lost his ballast, and
the cylinder pointed up through the
clouds like a rocket. 1t rose G,OOO feet
while he was struggling with the valve
cord, finding out that the valve was
damned and would not respond. AT a
height recorded by the aneroid barom-
eter Hamilton carried as $4,000 feet
the bag burst The silk case fell over
the framework of the carriage in such
a manner as to form parachute, and
1t sank gradually to the ground.
In another case. while trying out a
kite, Hamilton's luck saved him. The
whole structure of the kite crumpled
while 1t was being towed by an auto
mobile at a speed Of twenty miles an
hour. Hamilton was in a seat sus-
pended beneath the kite proper Draw
ing himself up between the kite planes
be hung on between them. and they
protected him so effectually that, al
though the wreck crashed down from
a height of 800 feet, he got OF with
only minor injuries.

the novel features being that II was
