MILLIONS ARE re BE SPENT
Join in the Effort for Civic
Improvement.

One hundred million dollars Is to be
spent to make seventy United States
cities beautiful
Improvements requiring this nine
figure expenditure have been planned
by municipalities all over the country.
Cities along the Pacific slope, cities
along the eastern coast and interme.
diate cities are all part OF the move
ment to evolve the real city beautiful.
It is expected that fifty more munich
palities will follow this pioneer exam
pie within year and that foreign OBJ.
servers soon will have to omit the
customary chapter on the ugliness
and monotony of American communi
ties
When James Brice wrote his Amer
lean Commonwealth" he remarked
justly that with but five or six excep
tions American cities differ from one
another only In that some are built
with more brick than wood and others
with more wood than brick"
That these conditions are going to
change was demonstrated very clearly
In the course of the meetings of the
fourth national conference on city
planning. held at Boston. The mayors
Of twenty-five different cities accepted
the. invitation rendered to them by
Mayor Fitzgerald Of Boston, the Bos.
ton chamber of commerce and the
Boston City club. With them came
many municipal engineers, many men
prominent in landscape architecture
and the representatives of many civic
organizations which are directing
their activities toward the rational
identifying of American cities and
towns.

Community Improvement.

It is not wise for community to
undertake general improvement until
each shall first have cleaned up his
own property. In fact neighbor-

pearance before much good will come

called cleaning-up for identifying
While rake and hoe and shovel will
aid much. saw and pruning shears In
the hands OF one lacking judgment
may do (and often does) more harm
than good. Spasmodic efforts seldom
result in great permanent improve
ment. When ones own premises are
above reproach he aywith proprietJ

on the neighborhood. In attacking
and prosecuting this work observe

Shinnston, w va.-Leslie Hawker,
a hardware merchant of this city, was
instantly killed when his touring car
skidded on the slippery road mile
south of town and went over an en-
bankment. The machine overturned
and Hawker was caught under it and
crushed to death. With him were two
young men, Paul and Thomas Harm
er, and the former suffered slight in
juries, while Thomas escaped without
a scratch. Mr.. HaWker, together with
his wife and three children, and the
two Harmers, had been in Buckhan-
non. Owing to the rain and the muddy
roads Hawker induced his wife and
children to return to Shinnston by rail,
and thus they escaped the tragedy
that befell husband and father. Mrs.
Hawker is FRUSTRATED. She was Miss
Coffman, of Harrison county, before
marrying.
