CONTESTED SPOTS A MENACE
Los Angeles 10 Facing Problem That
10 Common to Most Growing
American Cities.

Every city has housing problem
which is in some respect peculiar and
characteristic. In Los Angeles this
Ia to be found In prevalent type OF
house courts" writes William H..
Matthews In the Survey. The city
ordinance, providing for their regula.
ton, defines such court as follows:
"A parcel or area OF land on which
are grouped three or more habitatlons
used or designed to be used for &C.
cupancy by families and upon which
parcel or area the vacant or unoc-
cupied portion thereof surrounding or
AUDITING on said nabitations Is used
or intended to be used In common by
the inhabitants thereof"
In places thus described a consid-
cradle part of the labor population or
Los Angeles lives. There are record
ed in the Office Of the city's housing
commission today some $50 such
courts. Within them are voughly. 3,7OO
habitations. housing 10000 or more
peopie-Mexicans, Russians, Italians.
Slavonians, Austrians, Chinese. Japan
csc and a scattering Of some twenty
other nationalities.
The dwellings in these courts pre-
sent a great variety in general style
and method of building. There are
the old adobe houses, sometimes re-
modelled and in fair condition. though
more often with ceilings, walls and

appointed to better housing condi-

Yet in spite OF the fact that the

having demolished many OF the more
unsightly Of these courts. one may
still walk many blocks in some parts
OF the city and see little else. And

a short distance OF the city's public
buildings. There. too, may be found
newly constructed courts. conforming

people and even less of privacy of

CITIES NEED MORE SUNLIGHT
French Architect Urges Far-Reaehing
Reform In Street Planning
for the Future.

Far-reaching reform in city plan
ming as primary factor in the battle
gainst tuberculosis was demanded
BY the architect. Augustin Rey. in an
address made before the French So
ciety of Civil Engineers,
According to NJ. Rey, cities OF the
future must be so constructed that
the direction of all the streets shall
correspond to the suns daily course
in the heavens In order that the In
tabitants may receive the maximum
of light which is the greatest mi
crcbe killer In existence.
The task cf architects he says. Will
be to plan towns In such way that
every nook and corner shall receive
its shar. of the suns rays for the
greatest possible number Of hours
daily On this account he insists
that the present system of email
apartments will have to go. and their
places be taken by smaller and more
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.

RESULTS WILL BE INDIRECT
Missouri Roads Received but Tenn

Built Slowly and Laboriously

The chief results Of the holiday OF
roadmaking recently promoted by the
governor of Missouri are likely to be
indirect After having toiled and
sweated in the sun those who took
part will doubtless have stronger in.

lation, whether or not they are as

roads may have received large tenn
porary repairs and Improvements,
such holiday, no matter how many
participate in it, can hardly accom-
plish much in the way OF permanent
road making, says the Springfield Re
publican And 1t is permanent road
making of which the country stands in
need. Without depreciating the Mis-.
souri, performance it may be recalled
that the Romans, the greatest road
makers the world has known did not
do their work in spasmodic festivals;
the roads that they built to last for
centuries were built slowly and la
boriously.

A druggist was once questioned
why it was necessary to advertise
that certain medicine would be a
sure cure. Even admitting it was a
good remedy, 1t couldn't help all
cases. He replied that II you simply
told the truth that it was helpful In
the majority of instances, people
would never buy il The public dis
counted anything that was said and
the advertising had consequently to
be written above reality.
In the long run this exaggeration
hurts The retail merchant catering
to public near his own store suffers
instantly from any mis-statement. The
goods, like the cat. come back They
come back very soon
The imminence of retribution for
mis-statements in local advertising
has compelled even a slippery mer.
chant to be very careful of what he
says in a newspaper. Hence the pub.
lie can rely on 1t. When a merchant
says publicly that his goods are SO

genuiness of the article and the salts

GOOD
ROADS
COUNTRY SCHOOL Is FACTOR
Good Roads Mean Higher Moral and
Educational Standardv-Should Be
Regarded as Investment.
lRy HOWARD IL GROSS

(By HOWARD FL GROSSD
There Is another factor that has an
important bearing upon the highways,
and that is the country school, Good
roads mean better schools and d high
er moral and educational standard;
they bring the best instead of the
worst out of people Bad roads make
one feel as though he did not care how
he dressed or how he appeared.
Wherever good roads are built the
people begin to buy paint; the house
and the barns are treated; the picket
fence displaces the tumble.down one
in front; rose bushes are planted and
the lawn has attention; all these
things come along apace. Hence
good road building should not be re-
gardcd as an expense but as an in
surer return than money invested in
almost any other direction. A hi6h
authority has said that with good
roads the farmer can take advantage
OF the market; with bad roads the
market nearly always takes advan-
the situation arises when prices are
good and the farmer would like to get
his corn or oats Off or his hogs, that
the roads are nearly impossible? II
he attempts to reach market he does
SO seriously handicapped. There is
little doubt that with good roads anu
watching the market, the farmer can
get better price for what he has to
sell.
Here Is significant fact that We
should not forget That no state or
community ever began the building OF
good ioads-we mean roads good 800
days in the year-and had the eX
perience of using and paying for
them. that they did not keep on build
ing more and more good roads every
year The writer is not a prophet
but he makes this predictions: That
before the gray hairs appear on the
temples of the children who open their
eyes first to the light OF 1912. we will
have a network of good roads that
shall practically cover the whole
country from Plymouth Rock to Puget
sound, and along with that we will
have scinetiflc agriculture that will
double the farmers profit, by show
ing how to produce his grain at prac'
that this country will be the happiest
most progressive and enlightened OF
all the world.

Implements to Control Fire-Blisht.


fruit gathered up every day or two
and deeply buried, If it cannot be
fed to pigs.
The most convenient way to do this
is to have a ditch a rod or more long
and about a foot and half deep, dug
in some convenient spot and, begin
ming at one end, dump each time sss
much of the refuse into 1t as can be
covered with six or seven inches OF
earth. This Is deeper than any, but
the very largest insects burrow for
pupation and consequently any larvae
in the fruit will be smothered as will
also most rust and blight germs.
Look for and cut out any branches
on which colonies Of the fall web
worm have started. Their webs, in
creasing in size from day to day, often
cover quite large branches and give
an orchard a more neglected appear
ance than almost anything else. On
young trees they are especially ruin
GUS.
Most pears should be picked while
still green and hard. If, upon exami-
nation the seeds are found to be Of
full size and beginning to color. After
gathering place them on shelves in
dark but not too close closet. They
will soon begin to mellow and color
and in a few day. will be in prime
condition for eating. The honied
seckel is an exception to this rule
and is best completely ripened on the
tree.
Fire. blight, the most destructive Of
pear;ree diseases, should be checked
as econ as observed, by cutting off
the infected branch or limb. cutting
not less than six inches below the
diseased portion and being careful to
dip the shears used in the process
into a jar Of alcohol and carbolized
water, to neutralize any germs that
may adhere TO them between every
cut. Also burn all the trimmings.

FEDERAL MONEY FOR ROADS

concerning the apportionment of $lO
0UO to this state from the federal ap
preparation of 100000 to assist in
building post roads in the various
states is important when the full sig.
nifcance is considered. The appro

among forty-eight states, is a very
small beginning in the way of building
government post roads but II is be-
ginning, says the Baltimore American
1t is of great significance that the
government has made start in the
direction OF federal aid in road build
ing. The $4,000 apportioned to Mary
land goes to pay for one-third the cost
