MISS o ROGERS

A signature rather new in the car
toon world is that of Lou Rogers"
When this name first began to appear
in the corner of breezy, up to the min
ute cartoons seen in newspapers and
magazines the public. and particularly
that Dart Of it composed of brothers Of
the ,aricaturist cult. began to wonder
who this mar Rogers IA
Great IN their amazement when the
truth leaked out that a woman was
the power behind the pen-a tiny lit
tie woman at that. at least in physical
proportions. but with a brain stuffed
full Of original ideas that any arrived
c%artuonist might envy.
Aud the wonder was heightened
when it became known that this young
oma up to a few years before her
work appeared had spent most Of her
life in "A Maine lumber camp. where her
father was employed. The force and
meaning of a cartoon had never been
explained to Miss Rogers. To the lum-
herman they were merely funny pic
lures c%aricaturing a subject or situa-
ton. but the girl of the Limberlost"
sensed them and determined to make
her impressions of current events
known to the world through the car
toon medium
How to get enough technical art
knowledge to reproduce these ideas on
paper was the problem.
That this training has been gained
one has only to see the work now being
accomplished by this plucky girl.
Miss Rogers is an ardent suffragist.
and many Of her best cartoons are tc
b. found in magazines published by
the cause.

IA He is king Of the nights and the
days.
The candy and cake and the fruit.
All the stores are a part Of his realm.
All the chimneys belong to him, too,
And whatever he wants he commands.
And we do what he wants US to do.
He has acres and acres Of shops
And millions and millions of toys
And over the steeples he hops
On his way to the homes Of the boys
That have been just as good as could be
And h homes of the girls that have
tried
To mind what their mothers nave said
So they'd get ''somethingelses'' beside.
He's the merriest king in the world,
And no other king dares interfere
With the infinite power of his reign
When the season of Christmas draws
near.
He is mighty though even his swords
Are tin and his muskets are wood.
For the strength Of his cause is his love
OF being and doing life's good.
Men grant him his every request.
At his nod they throw wild every door.
And he chooses o'er all of the rest
The homes of the humble and poor.
Some children can lei when he comes,
Some see him in dreams, so they say.
And he's here in my heart with his drums.
And 1 hope he will never go way!

But here's q breath that makes me

The radiant. glad new year draws nigh.
Hopes sunshine lights the morning sky.
What joys may not this new year hold,
What dear, u~nfathomed witchery:
What undreamed wealth Of faery gold?
Then let the hooking old year die.
His months are as q tale that's told.
His shroud Of snow about him fold.
With other dead things let him lie.
The blithe new conner makes me bold.

LEGEND OF CHRISTMAS
WREA1AS

IN sword and sash and scarlet coat
Upon a Christmas day
Through frosty woods and hoary
fields
A soldier rode away.
She watched him through the fall
ing snow,
A young and lovely maid
In milky pearls and flowing robes
OF velvet green arrayed.
With rumors Of the distant wars
The months went slowly by
Till once again the Christmas bells
Were pealing to the sky.
And, walking in the lonely wood.
A bush the maiden found
With thorns as sharp az little swords
And scarlet berries crowned.
She leaned against an ancient oak
And WOW a wreath to wear
OF scarlet berries, bright and gay.
And set it on her hair.
And, 10. the pearls upon her breast
Were changed to berries too!
And. rooted to the oak. q branch
OF mistletoe she grew.
When sweet and clear the Christ
mas bells
Ring on Ger vale and Hill
The maiden mistletoe is seen
In pearls and velvet still.
And with her in the revels ruled
BY music, mirth and folly,
In sword and scarlet still arraysd.
Behold the soldier holly!
-Minna Irving.

and surrounding suburban districts.
Several main arteries of traffic should
radiate from the civic center, making
it the central point Of the city's street
plan.
The leading principle Of the design
Of 4 civic center is that n of the
buildings should dominate the rest.
This should usually be the city hall or
courthouse. The other buildings should
be in character and style related to
the dominant building, but not of such
size or outline as to detract from Its
Importance. as it should be. in an
artistic sense. protective Of the others.
Streets and n too long and too
straight are an evil. Paris. for exam
ole, has too many streets with .vistas
dwindling into n~0thingness.
The world famous Champs Elysees
is of such a character. New York is
almost wholly composed Of such
streets. Broadway from Bowling
Green to Grace church is an uninter.
rupted line. Fifth avenue is straight
throughout it's length. Streets in al
most all American cities are ruined by
their inOrdinate length in a straight
line.
In the modern science Of city plan
ming streets are of definite length.

erwise changed in direction and by no
means necessarily of the same width
throughout.
Among the most important civic fea.
lures and one that has been left al.
most exclusively to engineers, with in
many cases unfortunate aesthetic re-
suits, il that of bridges. A bridge, be-
ing one of the most striking features
Of a city's design. should be designed
by engineers of the greatest ability
and experience. and such engineers
should be associated with architects
equally qualified.
Regulations in effect In many cities
abroad in regard to the height of the
buildings are too inflexible. The result
Is long streets of buildings all Of the
same approximate height. The height
Of building is usually limited In pro-
portion to the width Of the street.
A method adopted with great success
for getting direct circulation Of air In
blocks is to leave openings at the ends
Of the blocks. as is done In some Eng
lish and German cities.
A principle Of city planning that Is
Of particular interest to artists is that
Of color. American cities particularly
tend to assume q certain dull grayish
weather beaten appearance. due to
dust. smoke and climatic effects and
the presence In the air Of acids from
factory smoke. In modern cities such

Women Too Busy With Interests Out
side the Home.

&1oe the home.
Since all time the happiness that at
tends a marriage has been uncertain.
Men and women expect SO much and
often give SO little. Disappointment is
all too common. for the average young
individual expects perfection and finds
poor, human nature.
mo man is a hero to his valet" runs
the bitter old French proverb. 1t is
perhaps as hard to be a hero in the
eyes of the woman q mar has married
Ave years after marriage. Familiarity
breeds contempt. 1t is hard to laugh
not once. but many times, at the same
jest. at the same old story as u moth
ers did. In the present day that is not
even attempted.
Most women and a great many men
only try to please before. not after,
marriage. and SO marriage is not as
happy as it used to be.
Marriage formerly among women
was looked upon as "A profession. Now
it is only an incident. and an incident
that need not continue unless it means
sugar n spice and all that's nice to
the woman. for her home is often the
last place where a wife is to be found.
The modern woman is often so busy
that she cannot live at home. She
must sell roses for hospitals. organize
relief for strikers. Stun among the des-
titnte and leave her husband and chill
dren to look out for themselves.
This is not quite for the happiness OF
the world. beca Use the right center of a
woman's life is her home, and when
that is vacant the cupboard of the at
fections becomes bare. Remember. aft
er all il said and done. it is the man
who works for the woman. 1t is he
that tolls Tor the bower and for the
comforts OF his wife. 1t is therefore
not only foolish. but not fair, If. when
he returns home. the bower rs always
empty.
