One Reason Why Cities There Are
More Attractive Than Their
Sisters of the East.

Altogether there are more than
sixty cities i'm the United States en-
gagged In the study and some stage
of the work of city planning. The
purpose is not only to make these
cities comedy and attractive from the
standpoint of art and architecture.
but to provide for reasonable growth.
so that there WIN be one or more
civic centers, each with radiating
streets and harmonious structures on
them A prime necessity of such
planning is to provide highways that
will obviate congestion In the civic
centers for years and years to come
and to make these centers and the
highways leading from them beautiful
and useful
The west has taken the lead in this
work The task of planning such i'm
provements has become a distinct
profession, sort of graduate or ad-
vanced branch of architecture A
dozen men are leading in it and prac-
tically they are all graduates. if the
term may be used, of Daniel H. Burn
hams workshop, or. better yet, the
Burnham School of Architecture for
cities. One reason for the eagerness
with witch the west has seized upon
the need of making it's cities as at
tractive as possible is that there is
more local pride to be found In the
west than elsewhere. Everyone wishes
to boost his own town and everyone
likes to make more or less quiet
boast that he lives Gin about the pret
tiest place you can find anywhere in

1t Is reported to the State Department
that the Mexican government has decided
to suspend the constitutional guarantees
in Morelos and parts of Puebla, Mexico,
and Tlaxcala: and also in Chihuahua,
Sonora, and In the northern part of Dur

on the increase of violations on the part
of the rebels Of the laws controlling civil
lied warfare. In the south the activity
OF the Zapatistas seems to be increa sing,
and on the 23d inst. marauders went SO
far to penetrate the federal district
The reports from Monterey, however,
are very encouraging, conditions being
described as normal and business is de-
clared to be improving. Abundant rains
are reported. which give promise of large
crops: mills and mines are in operation.
and the outlook In general has been de-
scribed as encouraging.
