CITIES NEED MORE SUNLIGHT
French Architect Urges Far-Reachins
Reform In street Planning
for thS Future.

Far-reaching reform in city plan
ming as a primary factor in the battle
against tuberculosis was demanded
by the architect. Augustin Rey, In an
address made before the French So
ciety Of Civil Engineers.
According to n. Rey, cities OF the
future must be 80 constructed that
the direction of all the streets shall
correspond to the suns daily course
In the heavens In order that the in
habitants may receive the maximum
of light, which IL the greatest NIL
crobe killer in existence
The task of architects, he says, will
be to plan towns In such way that
every nook and corner shall receive
its share of the suns rays for the
greatest possible number of hours
daily. On this account he insists
that the present system Of small
apartments will have to go, a1d.their
places be taken by smaller and moro
airy dwellings.
He concludes by saying that the
present nickname of Paris, the City
Of Light" should be that Of all towns
which care for the health Of their
Inhabitants.

ChiIdren's Valuable Find.

A group Of children playing in q
plantation at Stoneclough, near Boil
ton, turned up a sod and uncovered
what they thought was a valueless
medal They found others in the
same way, and played at keeping shop
with them. The coins were sover-
ieign pieces of the early part Of Queen
.Victoria's reign-the latest was dated
i1852-and the report getting about
people hurried flocked to the planta-
;tion in search for more. A party OF
colliers even deprived the children Of
theirs with the tale that they were
going to give them to the police. Al
together, it is thought, about fifty
were collected, but the police. who
when they heard Of it went round the
district collecting the coins, only re-
gained about thirty Of them. The ex-
PLANTATION given Is that in the early
sixties Of last century Bolton man
ufacturer was robbed on the highway
not far from the toll-bar which used
to exist hereabouts. But as, accord
ing to local history, the highwayman
got clear away and was never traced.
It is difficult to imagine why he should
have troubled to bury the money.

BUILDING UP A clTY's PARKS
Expert Gets Forth Some Sound Prln-
cIpIss Which It VIII Be Profit
able to Observe.

There are a few principles In the
selection of lands for parks, pathways
and Fairgrounds which are finding In
creasing acceptance by city authori-
ties. Briefly stated. they are as fol-
lows: (1) To acquire those easily ac-
cessibls small tracts in different parts
of city which may most cheaply be
adapted to serve as local Fairgrounds
or recreation centers; ca to seek also
some moderately large tracts, even
though less accessible for the present
generation, provided they are capable
Of conversion at relatively small cost
into park which will have the beauty
of natural scenery; 60 to acquire
property for large parks In advance
OF a general settlement Of the neigh
borhood; ca to select generally,
though not always, lands which are
not we'll adapted for streets and build
ings: (6) to distribute the lands over
the city In such a way a. to give the
maximum Of use to the people who
will be called upon to pay for their
acquisition. development and main
tenance.
These ave common-sense principles
have been approved and followed by
the leading landscape architects,
says John Nolan IN his report on New
London.

IS WORLDS LARGEST LATHE
Immense Piece of Machinery Turned
Out for Use of United States
Government.

Those who live inland, and, In fact,
all who are not fairly familiar with
the large guns used for sea coast de-
tense, can hardly appreciate the huge
size of lathe necessary to turn and
bore them. The lathe being designed
and built by the United States Naval
Gun shop at Washington, d. c., by the
Niles-Bement-Bond company, at the
Bement works, is the largest made.
The lathe is SO long that the prepare
lions for it's installation include the
construction of tunnel extending out
under a highway, as there was not
room for it between the walls Of the
shop.
The lathe bed itself is ITS feet long
and is made in five sections, but the
total overall length, including projec-
tons at the end of the bed, brings it
up to 1856 feet The main portion of
the bed on which the carriages travel
has three broad shears, the total
width being 10S inches, or feet, and
the length 103 feet. The rest Of the
bed extends under what is called the
boring bench, which has two shears.
The total width of this is 81 inches
and the length rs feet. The weight
of the machine complete with electri-
cal equipment is 100000 pounds, or 400
tons.-American Machinist.

NuIsANcEs IN DAILY LIFE
Many People Who, Through Thought
lessness, Allow Themselves to BE
Guilty Of DIscourtesy.

In the Woman's Home Companion
appears an article entitled Little
Courtesies of Social Life" In the
course Of which the author mentions,
as follows. a few people who make
nuisances Of themselves:
"Other discourtesies you meet In
private as we'll as in public. Do we
not all know the man or woman who
takes UP a book or paper and reads
while others in the circle are talking?
Do we not meet every day the persons
who discuss together people and places
and things they know and we don't?
Does any one of us escape the trial of
the interrupted who breaks in upon
our best story with an irrelevant re-
mark, or who snaps our most telling
argument in two to interject COM
ment, humorous or otherwise? Or OF
the chronic story-teller who can hard
ly wait for the conclusion of our anec-
dote because of his eagerness to cap
it with one he believes better? We
have all met just such people who
have done these very things, thought
lessly no doubt, but not the less UNI
pleasant for that reason.
These and many others are always
with us, and all are guilty of discour-
tesy and genuine bad breeding. The
only way to eliminate them and their
breaches of manners Is by individual
effort with our families, our friends
and ourselves"

Love-Maklna Over the phone.


Letter NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. writing
has degenerated into despised neces-
sity to be- made use Of when one IL
without the zone-either geographical
or flnancial-of the telephone. local or
long distance. A fluttering Hello
travelling over hundreds Of miles OF
wire now produces more ecstasy In the
manly breast than did the old-fash-
toned scented note, written on pink
paper and filled with pressed forget
me-nots and heartsease.
And the maidenly heart. too, IL
stirred more quickly by the thought
that somebody cared enough about her
to spend S. on a telephone call from

COTTON CROP ESTIMATE

The government estimate of the
cotton crop Of 1913, as made
public by the agricultural depart
ment, will reach 3.677.00 bales
of 500 pounds gross weight. The
estimate does not include the
linters which have but little COM
mercial value,
With this estimate the crop
will not miss the 100000 bale
mark very far. The demand for
our cotton has reached the point
where nearly a 100000 bale
crop is necessary to supply the
worlds needs. Prices prevailing
for this crop are bringing a vast
sum of money from abroad and
the South's banks are showing
the heaviest deposits in the his
tory of the country. Although
we regard prevailing prices good,
we do not receive by any means
what we should get for our staple.
If conditions were reversed and
the North had a monopoly of the
cotton production we venture the
assertion that not a pound of the
present crop would be marketed
under Is cents. The shrewd
Yankee knows how to get the
best out of every proposition and
in his hands the cotton crop
would be sold to much greater
advantage than it ever has been
by the south.

TRIAL OF HOBBS AND eILsc

TRIAL Or HO66S ANU 6lL0O.
The entire state of Mississippi
has been stirred for the past ten
day s by the sensational develop
m ents that have taken place at
Jackson and Vicksburg in the
indictment of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Bilbo and State Senator G..
A. Hobbs.
These officers of the legislature
are charged with offering to
take and receiving a bride for
their support of a bill before the
legislature for the establishment
of a new county in the delta,
with Belzoni as the county seat.
The great array of lawyers in
the case have succeeded in a
large measure to muddle the
minds of the people of the state
and to draw attention away from
the charges made in the indict-
ment.
All honest, fair minded men
want to see a fair and impartial
trial of the defendants by a jury
unbiased and who are willing and
able to digest the facts and ar
rive at an impartial verdict.
The people of Mississippi will
follow the case and will try it in
their own consciences. Every
man who hears and reads the
testimony will be practically a
juror, and at the close of the
case will know whether or not
the defendants are guilty or in
nocent.
These facts will be published
fully and unbiased in the daily
papers, and every one should
keep up with the proceedings of
the court. When the testimony
is all in, the people will know
what the verdict should be.
If the defendants are guilty,
they should be punished as the
law directs. If innocent, they
should be declared so by the
jury and exhonorated in the
minds of every fair and intelli-
gent citizen of the state.
