prove most attractive to desirable
home-seekers. This class of residents

The growth and influence of all cities
depends upon their success in adding
such people to their population. Dc
you think bare, unsightly, implanted
streets will attract them? Certainly
not We are essentially a Mecca for
tourists. The burning question is:
Where will they leave the most
money? 1t is said that tourists an
nually leave in Italy a sum of money
greater than the interest upon the ma
tional debt. The great mass of visit
ors to Paris each year go there be-
cause it leads the world in civic art
and beauty. Do our American cities
enjoy such a reputation, or in any
wise approach it? Will they ever do
so? The whole exterior appearance

Garbage Cans or Lamrposts.

Some 800 lampposts and telephone
poles in the downtown district of
Portland. Ore, have been utilized as
standards for rubbish receptacIes. All
that is necessary TO empty one of the
cans is to unfasten a catch, which
allows two semi-cylindrical sections to
swing outward.
A conical cover is set around the
post. about six inches above the
mouth of the can, to prevent rain from
entering. Fruit, papers, paper bags
and like rubbish must be thrown into
these receptacles. and persons litter
ing the street with such things are
liable to arrest.-Popular Mechanics
