NOT ADVERTISING THAT PAYS
Unsightly Billboard Of Little Value to
Loser and None to the Com
munity.

The commission appointed to study
the billboard problem In Greater New
York, and whose finding will be of in
terest to other large cities as we'll, de-
elares billboards generally to be a nui-
sance; a conclusion, by the way, which
the public reached long ago. The
commission also entertains serious
doubt whether this form Of publicity
is worth as much to the advertiser as
other methods. If it should be money
wasted, only the patrons of this loud"
advertising are the losers.
1t is the flaring, glaring %billboards
themselves from which the public suf-
fers. Their tawdry and often I'M
slightly character is an offense to good
taste. They dist1gure the landscape
and increase often the fire danger.
Why then, If they must be permitted,
should the owners of the billboards OF
the advertisers not be made to pay
for it2 France is quite up-to-date in
this respect, by imposing a tax Of from
rs to 500 francs on each such board
according to size and location.
At this time, when problems of tax
alton are so acute In this country, II
may be the proper thing to draw pub
lie attention to the matter. If there
must be b%illboards, let the men who
make this their business pay for the
privilege.

TRUTH FROM YOUTHFUL LIPS
Not Exactly the Answer spinster Ex
pected, But 1t Came From
the Heart.

A middle-aged spinster who lived In
the suburbs had a fine orchard. She
likewise had a heap Of trouble with a
lot of youngsters, who looked on the
orchard as something placed there for
their especial benefit.
Finally the spinster decided that she
could do more with kindness than with
a fence rail, SO she prepared a feast
OF apples and other dainties and in
vited every small boy in the burg to
join the jubilee.
Now, t5H me, boys" said the host
ess at the conclusion of the feast,
would the apples you have just eaten
tasted so good had you stolen them?"
mo, ma'am," answered little Willie
Smith, with surprising frankness.
Il am certainly glad to hear you say
that, little man. responded the spins
ter, with a glow of pleasure. Why
wouldn't they have tasted so good?'

reply of Willie, 1--WE wouldn't have had
no ice cream and cake with them"

Relation Of City and Country.

population as the forests are to disap-
pear. City and country are organical.
ly related. Crops cannot be grown with.
out fields, nor exchanged and manufac.
tured under the modern system Of d.
vision Of labor without cities. Only
In the rudest pioneer settlements do
men dispense with this division Of la.
bors by doing everything painfully and
badly ON the farm. Such settlements
are retarded and hampered until they
have towns for the city part of the
work. When we estimate that the av.
erage inhabitant Of New York may
have had but a few score square feet
for his own use, we are apt to forget
that he can only exist on them because
somewhere in the country there are
acres Of ground producing for him, as
really and definitely for him as If he
owned them and hired the labor on
them, what Professor Penck has called
his "sustenance space."-Mark Jeffer

Poor Charities.

There are charity societies, as all
the world knows, that only give to the
poor a quarter or a half cent of every
dollar they take in, most Of their sub
scriptions going for salaries to Off.
GERS and investigators for expensive
rentals, etc.
richard March, the charity expert
Of Denver, Colo, was condemning
these charities. He said:
"A mans wife shouted up to him
the other day:
Don't you think this blue over

new and fashionable, George, to give

Its the agent of the Alpha Incor-

WANTS OPINIONS OF EXPERTS
City Of Philadelphia Has Planned Elk
tensIVe Scheme for the Better
ment Of American CltIes.

Invitations to participate in an ex-
hibition of American and foreign city
planning have been received in Phila-
delphia by city departments and civic
organizations. The exhibition will be
open from November "a to December
6. The arrangements are in charge Of
an advisory commission on city plan
ming exhibition, appointed Jointly by
the heighth Of buildings committee Of
the board Of estimate and %appropria-
ton Of the city of New York and by
the Merchants, association Of New
York. The work of collecting and In
stalling the exhibition has been In
trusted to the American city bureau. A
circular outlining the scope Of the ex-
hibition may be obtained at the same
address by anyone interested.
Commenting editorially on this ex.
hibition, the American City says:
"A need widely recognized by city
planners Is about to be met. Toe
many municipal officials and civic
bodies are still applying with mediae'
val literalness the precept to live az
though this hour were thy last And
even where there has come, to certain
far-sighted leaders, a realization thai
cities will exist ten years or fifty years
hence, this vision has halted or hest
tated before the obstacle of an unen
lightened public opinion"
Indeed, popular ignorance as t.
aims, methods and advantages is al
most everywhere the chief hindranc'
to the adoption or enforcement Of al
adequate city planning program.
