The first lesson TO be learned by
the girl or woman who seeks to de-
velop her beauty is that enduring
beauty comes from within; that
lovely thought create curves of love
liness in face and form; that the
more susceptible she becomes to their
elevating influence the greater is
their vitality and the more effective
the work of the refining chisel.

CITY INHABITANTS
LIVE LIKE ANTS,
DECLARES HOOKER

cincinnati. December 3.-The growth of
cities in America is causing the inhabit-
ants to live like ants, declared George L.
Hooker, civic secretary of the Chicago
city club, at the third annual session
of the National Conference on Housing
here today. Crowded conditions in the
larger cities necessitated large buildings
where human beings swarmed and re-
duired burrowlng into the ground to give
them means of transportation to and from
their places of business, he said
His address was on Garden Cities"
and Mr.. Hooker pointed out the advance
made in giving breathing spaces and
parks to city dwellers. Light, air, land
and reasonable amount of the amenities
of home life is being denied to thousands
In cities, on account of crowded condi-
tions and this, he said, the garden city
would prevent.
The garden city movement, which began
In England and is rapidly spreading, has
now become divided into garden cities
proper and also garden villages and su-
purbs according to Mr.. Hooker. 4
Another division OF the conference list
ened to an address by Arthur C. Comey Of
Boston on cooperative Housing" He
said the problem of housing is threefold-
architectural social and financial. He
continued that the only proper way to
90 away with the old system of landlords
was to apply limited dividend system
speculative profits being eliminated and
the money returns fixed, commensurate
with the risk involved and at a fair per-
centage to the builder
AT the general assembly of the confer
ence tonight the delegates were formally
welcomed to the city by Mayor Henry T.
Hunt.

mands that he be reinstated In spite of
a manifesto Issued by the railway union $
executive declaring that the strike was
not authorized and that no strike pay
would be allowed. the movement is spread
ing and threats made of a general
tie up of the Great Western system.
