selves and so more will join in the
movement within a year. This strik-
ing fact was brought out in Boston at
the fourth national conference on city
planning. In this new movement the
cities of the United States are fol
lowing a path where Europe has shown
the way. Nearly half of the popula.
ton of the United States is now urban.
More than one-fifth is in towns or
cities of more than $500 and less than
100000 inhabitants. These are the very
places that have the best opportunity
for intelligent city planning. The time
for it is while the town is small and
while land is cheap. Mere multiplied
ton of parks does not carry out the
idea. The whole city should be treat
ed as park or landscape garden and
it's public buildings should form a
civic center on a definite architectural
basis. The only effective machinery
for the creation Of a city beautiful is
permanent city-planning commission
with power to condemn property. Har
monious development of the growing
city, with every street, tree, building
and spot of ground treated as a detail
in harmonious ensemble, is not only
art but business. Civic beauty is an
immense municipal asset.

the "heliotrope girl" the policeman's

This will never do, you are violat-

ney, as he ran over to the pier, where
the "heliotrope girl" was majestically
swimming beyond the life lines.
"Hey, come ashore" shouted the po-
Hceman, but the fair bather swan
further out into the lake. "She can't
swim around here" said Denney, as
he ran to shore and jumped into a
rowboat to overtake the swimmer.
The girl in the heliotrope colored
bathing suit noticed that the police

None of the bathers at the beach

ever attempts to take another dip, he
will place her under arrest.

was pickerel weighing three pounds.
When he yanked the fish it Topped

AS Henry was batting up again he
felt a sharp pain in one of his feet

It's teeth in his toe. He tried to kick
the fish away, but the pickerel held
on and Henry had to Use the handle

United States in search of health.
While it is impossible to tell accu-
rately how many consumptives there
are at present living in the states of
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, south
ern California, and western Texas, it
is probable that no less than ten per

territory have tuberculosis themselves,
or have come to the west because
some members of their family have
had it. Every year, the health authori-
