PLANNING AN IDEAL SUBURB
Chicago Architect Announces inten.
ton to Depart From Usual
Geometrical Arrangement.

In his plan for the development of
an ideal residence district within or
near Chicago, Wilhelm Burnhardt. the
Chicago architect, who won first prize
in the City clubs contests, discards &C.
ometrlcal arrangement Flowing lines
and irregular boulevards characterize
his plan; trees and shrubs are to be
used freely. 1t is an attempt to get
away from the stiff and prosaic effect
of straight lines and has precedent
familiar to many Chicagoans in the
suburb Of Riverside, where winding
streets we're laid out at the founding
of the town with happy effects.
Lovers of the picturesque lament
the inartistic results of the gridiron
plan which has been followed In most
towns of the United States Much OF
the charm of old world cities lies in
their irregular streets, and In this
country Boston is an example of sim
liar effects. The curving street nat
uTally finds its greatest use In a
billy country; on fiat land the COM
mon impulse is to build all thorough
fares in straight lines. Utility Of
course, seeks the shortest distance
between any two points, and for this
reason Mr.. Burnhard believes his ideal
residence district will not be marred
by business traffic. Whether Chicago
ans will take kindly,to the plan is to
be seen, but the City club and Mr..
Burnhard are to be congratulated on
its artistic features. AS our clviliza-
ton natures the truly artistic will be
sought more and more by communi-
ties and lndividuals-Ch Record

MEAT AND VEGETABLE SALAD
"Left-overs" May BE Used to Advan-

Free the meat from skin and bone,
and cut into small dice. For each pint
make French dressing with four ia
blespoonfuls of olive oil, one table,
spoonful Of salt and one-quarter of a
teaspoonful Of plain or tarragon vine
gar, one-half of a teaspoonful Of salt
and one-quarter of a teaspoonful of
white pepper, and with it thoroughly
marinate the meat. Set aside In q
cold place for an hour or more. that 1t

bed OF lettuce or other green salad on
a platter, pour on 1t tho meat and gar
nish 1t with vegetables. A few nastur-
tium leaves will add plquancy to the
salad, or little watercress may be
used with the lettuce, TIM combination
depending largely upon the meat on
hand and in the way in which 1t was
cooked. Boiled meat usually needs
more in the way of seasoning than
roast meat; a few drops OF onion Juice
or teaspoonful OF finely chopped
chives is frequently a decided add
ton.

Features Of City Building In That
Country America Would Do Well
to Copy.

The writer recently heard an elo-
Willoughby Rodman on features OF Eu-
ropean city building that was one Of
the most powerful pleas for the adop-
ton of sane methods in street building
and maintenance ever delivered In this
city. In spite of this and the fact
that Mrs. Rodman has talked on the
some subjects to our city officials. not
one of the latter has had the courage
Of even the common sense to advocate
changes which cannot but appeal
strongly to every hearer.
Still more does the pathos of the
matter appeal to the writer, for In this
department has many tines appeared
every recommendation, urged by Mrs.
Rodman, based on her actual obeer-
walton of the best solution of the sew
eral problems as seen In the noted
cities Of Europe Several times have

economical of room. The cellar is
big enough to partition off storage
room for fruits and vegetables in diff
ferent compartments.
House drains should connect with a
septic tank A farm house septic
tank, when properly constructed, Is
just as good as city sewer, and 1t is
no more trouble. What is known as
the septic system of sewage disposal
was tried out theoretically, scientif1cal-
ly, and practically In England years
ago. It consists Of two tanks-the
first as nearly air-tight as possible
The liquid from this is siphoned into
the second tank automatically when
1t fills up to certain point. Two
kinds of bacteria are known to work
in the two tanks. The kind in the
first tank require but little air; the
kind in the second tank do better
work when no light but plenty of air
Is admitted. These bacteria destroy
the solids in the sewage A peculiar
feature about this system Is the fact
that the solids, even greases. are re-
duced to harmless deposit in the
form of scum on the top OF the wa.
ter, with a precipitate in the bot
tom; and the amount OF scum and
precipitate does not increase but re.
mains the same month after month.
It is not definitely known what be-
comes of the additional amount added
each year. 1t disappears as II by
magic.
The septic tank system is not.
necessarily expensive. Two round
holes in the ground six feet in diam
eter each, and six feet deep, are
sufficient to take care OF the sewage
from a large house These under
ground tanks may be made OF cement,
and should be connected with a 81.
phon at least three inches in diam.
eter. This siphon is simple affair,
and may consist of U-shaped pipe,
the outlet of which should be three
or four inches lower than the inlet.
The liquid discharge from the sec
ond tank Is clear, colorless, and al.
most pure water.

Every city vies with its fellows to
prove most attractive to desirable
home-seekers. This class Of residents
Is progressive or wealthy, or both.
The growth and influence of all cities
depends upon their success in adding
such people to their population. Do
you think bare, unsightly, implanted
streets will attract them? Certainly
not. We are essentially Mecca for

Where will they leave the most

An eight-room, full two-story house,
with splendid cellar and a good at
tic, is what every large family needs.
There are a great many different
styles Of eight-roomed houses. Eight
rooms seem to be about the size re-
quired by business men in the small
er towns and country places.
great many farmers are now
building new houses. Farmers have
been prosperous Of late, and they are
using considerable money in building.
A farmer likes to have house look
we'll, and to have conveniences for
doing the work; that is, live, up-to-
date farmers do. There are plenty
Of the other kind, but they are not
building houses like this.
This house is about as large as
necessary on the average farm. 1t is
about as large as furnace will heat
economically, being 35 feet In width
by 49 in length, exclusive of porches.
The stairway to the attic is closed so
that no heat is wasted in that direc-
ton. A hot-air furnace is the best
means of heating up house of this
size. Anything larger should have
hot water or steam. There is a
great advantage in hot air, from the
fact that it furnishes ventilation;
most houses in the country are shy
on ventilation.
Members of farmers families in
some rural districts are more sub
ject to lung diseases and pulmonary
troubles than the inhabitants of towns
or cities Physicians in country places
say harsh things about some farmers,
claiming that the prevalence of con-
sumption in rural districts Is due to
living in houses without proper venti-
lation and heating; also that the ex-
ira burden thrown upon females by
want of conveniences for doing house
work is a contributing factor. They
name farmers who are very careful
of their horses and cattle, but very
neglectful of wife and daughters.
They are even bold enough to say
that the first care with such men
