COMPULSORY FAIRGROUNDS.

A bill has been introduced in the Legislature of the state of Washing ton entitled House bill No. 81, pro- yiding for the inclusion of small parks and playgrounds in all future land subdivisions within or adjoining the limits of cities of the first, second and third classes.
 According to the best available 1n- formation says William E. Harmon, the well-known real estate authority in The Survey, "thiS is the first at- tempt based on sound economies, ar bitrarily to combine parks and play grounds with street plans in private real estate development. It is bas- ed on the theory that as streets of liberal width give correspondingly greater value to abutting land, so do parks and similar open spaces give increased value to contiguous proper ty. That there must be some muni- cipal restriction put upon land sub- manent part of the city in which they are located is an already accepted principle in many sections of the country, but it remained for this pro- gressiVe western state to carry along it's logical lines of development.
 ''It is highly important from the point of view of true economies, that no undue burden be placed upon practical work in the field of realty deyelopment, or home building on a large scale, for in the end this burden der the provisions of this bill, land can be laid out and permanent open spaces esta blished without taking a penny out of the pockets of the op- erator or adding a penny cost to the ultimate consumer of the land.

T BURIED ELEVEN" CHILDREN.

Teaching the tenant: When that means dealing with people of thirty nationalities, different customs, su perstitions and languages, one might well hesitate before embarking on that sea. Once in it, one is carried away by the deep, dark undercurrent, and is well repaid for his efforts to teach the hard-working, greatly un- derpaid class of society, our tenem ent dwellers, how to keep afioat.
 During my first week of work, sec ing a child in convulsions in an Ital- ian family, l said to the mother, Quick, get some hot water to put the child into bath" She replied, What do you know about children I guess I know what to do-a moth CT of twelve children" Well, then send one of the twelve for a doctor. Where are they?" (not seeing one). .I burisd eleven.'' We'll" I said. ''you will bury the twelfth if you sit still and wait for the child to recov- CT without help" Without as much as "by your leave" I made a fire, a good mustard bath which brought the sufferer comfort, and perhaps saved the woman her last child. I then went out and sent for @ doctor to give medical aid. The mother, who was then quite violently opposed to my advice. later became a very dear friend; the boy is living yet;two more children have been born and lived. because the woman was willing to be taught the care and feeding of in fants, besides cleanliness of body and home.-Johanna Von Wagner, in The Survey.

CHRYsANTHEMUMs AT TOXIC.

The great autumn shows of chrys- anthemums at DangOzaka, near To- k1o, offer many wonders to their crowds of visitors-miracles of breed ing and cultivation and marvels of arrangement. The road to Dangozaka is bordered with gardens, and at the time of the chrysanthem shows-a sort of national festival, for the chry santhemum is the Japanese national fiower-the way is lined with stalls of all sorts and made gay with many thousands of flags and lanterns. Nhs village-or suburb-of Dangozaka seems congeries of chrySanthemum gardens and nothing else. Two sem which is about cent|s the price of admission to any garden, and in any and alf of them are displayed strange triumphs of horticulture rows of hundreds of chrysanthemum plants obeying orders in their growth like a regiment of soldiers on their parade. You will see them in long ranks, each plant a facsimile of the next beside it, with exactly the sanna number of blooms on each. And not merely that; the top bloom will bs fully opened, and so make one of a perfectly level and equal line of fully opened blooms; the next will be near lyl opened, and again one of a similar row; the flowers of the third row ars open to a less degree; and so they decrease to the feet of the plants. where row of close green buds ex- tends. So that the whole long rank presents a constantly repeated scale of all the beauties of the opening flower, from bud to fullest bloom. And, the marvel does not stop even here; for not only the blossoms, but the leaves are matched in number and situation. In other places, in stead of straight lines, the plants are disposed fam fashion, or in the shape of an umbrella.-Arthur Morrison. in the March Strand.

GERMANY'S METHOD OF
 PREVENTING MONOPOLIES

In Germany private monopoly could never reach such gigantic pro portions. because at the very outset of the industrial age a big slice of the national assets was withdrawn from private enterprise by the Gov -ernment, being reserved exclusively for public uses and operated on a strictly sociaIistic basis for the eQuit- able good of all The other and ma 5or portion of the basic resources was, of course, left to exploitation and inn provement by private initiative. In the course of time and under the in- fuence of the economic revolutions in the neighboring European copn- tries, especially England and France, the attitude of the State towards in- dustry has naturally. undergone var ious changes. But to-day the general tendency, under the pressure of the socialistic vote, is stronger than ever before for an expansion of national cooperation under the leadership of state or national government-repre senting a compromise, as it were, be- tween the mercantilistic and the phy- siocratic doctrines, between the indi- vidualist and collectivist schemes-an attempt to infuse the cold reasoning of reckless commercialism and the utopian dreams of extreme socialism with the nobier motives of national expedfency.
 While the authority of the State is invariably supreme, it's functions are af the progressive variety. establish ing the balance between all the pro- ductive and destructive forces of the land The State not only partakes in every form of private industry. engag- ing part of the three factors of pro- duction-nature, labor and capital but it extends it's intervention in pro- portion to the growing needs of the Commonwealth It's functions of service are quite as marked as it's functions of restraint. and. with the standard of German citizenship on the zsreudant there is, indeed, a ten dercy of diminishing restraint and of frcres sing service.-Dr. Franz Erich IunEe-H ermsdorf. in The Engineer fng Magazine for March

HATS TO BE LARGER.

"The world is so full of a number of things might apply to the millin- cry world in particular as we'll as the world in general. Apparently the trade is prepared for any contingen- cy. A rush on any one article has a serious effect on deliveries and trade in general, for it is difficult to make the supply meet the demand. partic- ularly nowadays when close buying is the order of the day and the danger of most buyers. So far there has not been a serious demand for one thing above another. Large hats and small hats, high hats and low hats and hats of practically every shape and hue are being bought in all of which argues for a good Sea- son.
 Those whose prophecy it was that large hats were passe have proven the advisability of not jumping at conclusions early in the Season. The hats that arrived from Paris in time for the second Openings, as we'll as those that are still arriving, show if anything an increase rather than de- crease in size. Photographs have beeen made for this issue of The Re- view of hats that ceasure twenty-four inches in diameter and nothing much larger in the way of hat has ever been affected. But fashion does not confine herself to these huge shapes, but divides her favors equally. and so we have hats that go to the other extremity, as for example, the bon net of 1S40. Some of the smaller hats are proportionately smaller in their headsize, but the majority are built on generous lines in this res pect, the hats still hugging the ears and all but conoealing the coiffure, which by the way is noticeably flat ter and less ornate.-The Millinery Trade Review.

PLOUGH BOYS FROM
 THE GHETTOS.

A convention of Jewish farmers met in New York City recently. There are two agricultural schools maintain ed by Jews both of which are crowd ed to the doors and are obliged to turn away applicants. The Jew for centuries has been 8 dweller in the ghettos of great cities and had any, one predicted these facts fifteen years ago he would have been scoffed at
 At Farm School, near Doylestown, Pa., 363 acres of land have been re- served for the exclusive use of the National Farm School. a non-sectar- ian institution which was founded in 1S96 It is dedicated to the encour- agement of agriculture among those who would otherwise be condemned to i've in sweat shops. Though all creeds are welcomed and the relig- ious services are non-sectarian, most of the lads are Jews. The boys are taken from the influences of the ghet- tos which inevitably stunt their lives. They are admitted on their own ap- plication after grammar school training. The school has good in struotors and a modern equipment There are twenty splendid horses which gives each. boy a chance to plough.-Joseph Krauskoph, in the Survey

INVESTIGATING THE
 PRICES OF COAL
Committee is Told There's No Combining on Prices

Hartford. March 15-The initial hear ing of the joint committee to inves- tigate the reason for the high cost of living was held In the Capitol prior to yesterdays session of the General Assembly. Tho committees counsel, B. M. Holden of Hartford, started the probe by questining Clarence Belcher, treasurer of the W. C. Mason Coal company of Hartford, as to the condi- tions of the coal trade in this city.
 Mir. Belcher, who had been summon ed by the committee, was represented by E. Henry Hyde, who said that the company had been ordered to produce its books to show the amount of coal received since January l. 1909, and the amount on hand at present. This would mean work of minute examina- ton. An abstract report was submit ted instead which was accepted by the committee.
 ter wanted a report of the company's purchase from month to month and this will be submitted to the commit tee later. Lawyer Holden wanted re- ports of the freightage paid from Jan uary 1, 1909 to date. He also asked MT. Belcher if there existed any agree ment between the coal dealers relative to the price. MT. Belcher said that al- though the expenses are similar no agreement existed. He admitted that dealers met and talked over trade con- dftiOnS, but that was all His com- pany was incorporated in 1906 and had paid three dividends of 6 per cent and two of per cent.
 House Chairman Chandler Of Rockys Hill asked if any alliance existed as 8 result of common directors or com mon owners of stock with any trans portation company and the witness said his company had no such alliance and was absolutely independent all though he knew nothing as to other companies. In response to Mr. Chand- lers query as to the amount of capi- tai necessary for an Initiative invest ment in the coal business, it was stated that it depended upon the size of the business. MT. Chandler wanted to know if new dealer coming into with established firms, would have any trouble in getting coal. MT. Belcher replied that if the man had money to pay or good credit, he could secure the coal.
 It was shown that the price on hard coal was about $2.45 ton at the mine and that about $1.25 had to be esti- mated for ordinary expenses in addi- tion to shrinkage. Representative John son brought out the fact that these figures applied to the gross ton while the dealers sell at the 2,OO0 pound per ton schedule.
 The next meeting of the committee will be held on Tuesday, March 21, when some deep general probing will follow the preliminary hearing of yes- fer6av

PRIVATE OPINION
Editor Farmer, Sir:

Editor Farmer, Sir:
 The New Haven Co. have the best ability that money can buy, but they have not and there is no one who can figure any dividend paying side to this street car proposition and what ever light it may appear to others, it never has appeared to me other than matter to be sold to the New Haven Go. The owners in the Danbury & Bethel Go. to the last man will unload their ownership at par. The land north of Long Hill is of the poorest, not one-fourth of it being fit for building lots. No person along this line will put a dollar into this stock and no person would give foot of the right-of-way. The only way any good can be figured out is, it may be the means of the New Haven Go. building as far as the Trumbull line. It is easy understood, the New Haven Go. are not putting any money into such non-paying schemes.
 Sewers
 separate sewer system to take care of the rain fall. This rain fall is A inches yearly, less than four inches per month, 50To is absorbed by the ground and does not reach the sewer. Any person, much less a so-called en- gineer, who advocates this is. in my opinion, a. 1unatic and should be in carcerated in the Middletown asylum for such, the only thing against it is that he would be an abject disgrace to those there. A million dollar mortgage on the real estate of Bridge port for such 8. scheme and the real estate owners would have to pay an- other million to connect with this sewer. When the said owners have paid these bills, they will agree with me, that a political clan who would mortgage this real estate, without the consent or approval or even the op- portunity to protest. are the very tail end, the dregs of their predecessors, who gave away the street franchise to the railroad, that gave $50O,000 away of the city's money to elevate the New Haven railroad.
 Stratford Annexation
 The fool-killer should come around and rub oiit a few. The thing to do. and it is being done, put cottage on every lot and it's owner in it all over that Stratfory territory, leave the an- nexation vote to these. Let Stratford pay for all sewers, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, pavements, water, light hy- drants, engine houses, school houses. The city of Stratford will do some jugglery business with its tax rate.
