MODEL C,TIEs.

The impression obtains in this coun-
try that European cities are too slow
of growth and too nrmly fixed in de-
sign and form to permit OF any COM
prehensive planning for beauty and
comfort on large scale. 1t Is some
what surprising. therefore. to learn
that Germany presents ono of the first
examples of constructing q garden
city" The ideas of American arohi-
tects in this direction have received
closer attention In Germany than my
where else. The first town planning
conference was held in Berlin. The
plans proposed by architects for the
Identification OF Chicago have been
studied carefully. the Kaiser himself
taking much interest in them
The first result of this study IL the
garden city of IIellerau It Ia two
miles from Dresden, and is at 800 feet
higher elevation. It embraces S45
acres. with The wooded parts preserved
az far as practicable.
There are two sections. one for cot.

OF the building society. a share in
the society costs s47.5o. and interest Is
paid on this. Rents vary from SCI 10
$3.50 the year. Tho smallest cottage
contains four rooms. each cottage has

In the villa section rents range

USING THE BLOCK SIGNAL.

Use of the block signal system by
the railroads of this country Is increas-
ling rapidly. according to the annual
report OF the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. lately Issued. The :. total
length of road in the United States
governed by the block signal on Jan
uary was 1890 miles. gain OF
S5l1 miles over the figure for 1910.
This indicates plainly that the utility
of this system of train signaling Is
Widely recognized
The statistics show that only about
one-fourth of the block signaling Is
done automatically. Tho other three
fourths is operated by hand. The rail-
roads are constantly making additions
to their block signal System, as IS
shown by the fnct that thfs year the
Boston and Maine Railroad will install
The block system OH 42a miles OF road,
while tho New Haven road will add 1871
miles OF automatic block system.
The block signal system lessons the
opportunities for accidents and is eli
ways a step in the right direction. III
n time like this. when rapid transpor-
tation Of passengers IS required and is
necessary to economic prosperity. it Is
pleasing 10 learn that safety precau-
tons are being observed by the rail-
roads. Some OF the largest railroads
In the nation were operated last year

ger and no longer timely is the old
joke about what tho employee OF ono

one of the chief goals OF railroadng,
and tho common carriers are vastly
safer than they We're SO many years
