POLK CLAIMS A VICTORY
Players say Referee Erred in Calling
Goal Kick.

Polk school claims 1 to IL vic
tory over Rossville as a result of Fri
days game. The early reports called
the game tie. Polk players say the
kick from touchdown, which allowed
the tie, was not made. The ball hit
the upright at the goal and bounced
back into the field, but the referee
called it a goal
The Polk players are pleased with
the treatment given them at Rossville
outside the protested score. Following
the Polk lineup:

This preface breaks the letter of

The verses are full of snap and fun;
moreover, they have weight as well as
Jingle, and linger in the mind long
after the booklet is laid away
An essay on "Limericks'' is one of
the cleverest things in the book; a
limerick is described as lone of the
most harmless of indoor SpOrts,' and
numerous examples are given to show
its origin, development and peculiari-
ties. There are several parodies and
some observations, a la Walt Mason,
that are especially good.
One of the books biggest attrac-
lions Is its illustrations. Mr.. Parsons
is an artist, as well as a cartoonist,
and the pictures are adroitly done; the
one of Fame" accompanied by a
verse, is extremely clever.

sign in two colors, and is bound in

of Indianapolis show evidences of

Mr.. Atterbury takes exception TO
the American idea of each household
er constructing his home on his own
plot of ground exactly as he pleases
without regard to the health or the
esthetic feelings of his neighbor. 1t

American city to see block after block

AS TO MODEL CITIES.

Our own obstreperous Gary some
how or other manages to be mention
ed among those cities where expert
mental work in town building is now
being conducted in an article in
Scribner's on Model Towns In
America" Grosvenor Atterbury takes
up the housing problem. The gard
en- cities and 'spotless towns" of
romance have been displaced by the
ideas of the collective settlement, the
group system of building, wherein
dwellings are constructed with an
eye for the beauty of the whole Mr..
Atterbury refers to Germany. as do
so many American writer's in dis
cussing the manner of handling
municipalities, but he takes concrete
examples from the United States. He
emphasizes the need for city plan
ming, and in this his argument is ex-
cellent. With few exceptions, every
city in the United States shows evil
dences of merely having grown" and
not of having been planned. New
York had no city plan. Neither did
Chicago, nor Boston, nor st. Louis.

factories and yet who want their
children to live out of the smoke and
gas laden atmosphere.
The promoters of the new factory
district are following logical and ra-
tional lines when they select the ter

the location. There Is no conflict
with the modern ideas OF city build

REGINA ONLY CHECKED.

Hard hit though the capital of
Saskatchewan is by the tornado,
which tore half OF the fine young city,
there need be no question as to the
fate of that town. 1t is filled with
the spirit of the Canadian Northwest
and its future is well assurde.
Few parts of the earth are ad-
vancing as fast as the region tribu-
tary to Regina and nowhere is there
more confidence In the continuation
and expansion of present prosperity.
The city itself has risen in a few
year from a mere trading post to a
fine modern town OF more than So

The province of Saskatchewan, in
the midst of which Regina stands,
had only $1,000 inhabitants In 1901.
BY the spring of 1911 the provinces
had risen to $4,000, gaining a large
part of that increase from the United
States. 1t is going ahead faster than
ever now and SO is its capital.
Such a town will recover rapidly
from the disaster which has befailen
1t. There will be no hesitation or
delay in undertaking the rebuilding
of the districts laid waste by the
tornado and it will not be long be-
fore Regina will be handsomer

THE NEW FACTORY DISTRICT

The city council OF Hammond did
we'll Tuesday night when it gave its
fullest cooperation to the plan to
create a new factory district in the
vicinity of the Gibson yards.
The plan has been worked out by
Peter w. Meyn of Gostlin. Meyn &
Co. 1t opens up a large amount of
acreage, heretofore of little value, to
the small manufacturer.
The Indiana Harbor Belt railroad,
which is the best friend the cities of
North Township have, has promised
to do its share to aid in the develop
ment of this property by putting in a
factory service track
THE TIMES takes this opportunity
to point out that it approves of this
project for the reaeon that 1t is a
step in real city building.
1t will have the effect of creating
a manufacturing district in the
proper location for such a district
