CIVIC BEAUTY is AN ASSET
Thought That Must Be Impressed on
the People by Workers for Bet
ter Cities.

Civic beauty is an asset; civic ugli-
ness is liability. We need to have
this thought impressed upon the peo-
pie as whole before, we may ex-
pect any great awakening, and few
there be In Los Angeles that work
steadily toward some attainable and
desirable goal of civic identifying. In
this city, with nearly half-million
people, where there is a lamentable
dearth Of street trees, this department
stands alone in the city press advocat-
ing municipal control and the institu-
ton of a city street-tree commission.
Yet these things shall come to pass,
for they are almost as inevitable as
death and the tax collector" Our
one hope Is that by constant agitation
we may hasten the day when our peo-
pie and our city officials shall realize
the gravity Of the situation and that
this constant plea has something more
behind 1t than an esthetic impulse.

Street improvements

Alderman Thompson of the national
housing reform council of England
says that under modern conditions of
subdivision the cost of roads, sewers,
ETC., reaches from $45 to 1925 a cot.
tage, and puts up the cost Of rents. A
forty-foot paved road on the outskirts
of town costs $1,000 to $1,000 an
acre.
Nettlefold says that where there are
Is houses to the acre the rent must be
advanced one-sixth to pay for the cost
of street paving and repair on 40
foot street.
Unwin has worked out plan of
adapting the width and improvement
of the street to it's use, SO that an
owner with 20 acres can put in the
improvements and build $40 houses for
the same money as 200 houses would
cost if rectangular streets Of uniform
wiSth and paving were paid for.
In the London town planning con-
vention of 1910 Hogeman of Berlin and
Adams of England both said that wide
streets caused tenements. ut was
necessary that the owner extract from
each yard of his frontage enough rent
to pay its share of the costly street."

Very Plain Criticism.

Children are not always grateful be-

terrain. At birthday party kindly
natured adult had toiled hard In the
effort to amuse the children by means
of parlor magic, ventriloquism, bur
lesque dancing and the like. The
other adults present were highly
amused, and some of the children
deigned to chuckle mildly. The mother
of the hostess, however, felt that full
Justice had not been rendered, 80 be-
fore announcing refreshments she took
pains to thank the entertainer, and to
call the attention of the youngsters to

Church Plate Travelled Ear.

The curious adventures of set of

parish church Of Melksham, in Eng
land, and discovered in British Gui
ana, South America, were related in a
recent issue of the West India com
mittee circular The plate consists of
a f1agon, chalice, and paten. 1t was in
regular use in the parish church of
Melksham, Wiltshire, until 1876. when
it was replaced by new set. The old
vessels were packed away in the
church in an unlocked box, and in
May, 1893, the discovery was made
that they we're missing. Then comes
the apparently mysterious sequel. The

CHAPTER XVIII.
Another MESSAGE,


Hamlin sank back on the bench and
leaned his head on his hand. Had any
thing been accomplished by this in
terview? One thing, at'least-he had
thoroughly demonstrated that the
charm once exercised over his imagi-
nation by this beautiful woman had
completely vanished. He saw her now
as she was-heartless, selfish, using
her spell of beauty for her own sordid
ends. If there had been left a shred
of romance In his memory of her, it
was now completely shattered Her
GOODNESS, her adroit changing Of
moods, convinced him she was playing
game. What game? Nothing In her
words had revealed its nature, yet the
man instinctively felt that 1t must in
volve Molly Mcdonald. Laboriously
he reviewed, word by word, each SEN
tence exchanged, striving to find some
clew. He had pricked her In the Cas-
kins affair, there was no doubt of
that; she knew, or at least suspected,
the party firing the shot. She denied
at first having been married to LIE
Fevre, and yet later had been COM
PEELED to acknowledge that marriage
There then was a deliberate false
hood, which must have been told for
a purpose. What purpose? Did she
imagine 1t would make any difference
with him, or did she seek to shield
LIE Fevre from discovery? The latter
reason appeared the more probable,
for the man must have been in the
neighborhood lately, else where did
that haversack come from?
So engrossed was Hamlin with
these thoughts that he hardly real
lied that some one had lifted the win
dow curtain cautiously. The beam Of
light flashed across him, disappearing
before he could lift his head to ascer-
tain the cause. Then voice spoke,
and he leaned back to listen.
Not there; gone back to the dance
likely, while we were at the bar"
Nobody out there?" this fellow
growled his words.
Some soldier asleep with his head
on the rail; drunk, l reckon. Who
was she with this timer"
"Barrett?"
who? Oh, yes, the fellow who
brought in that troop of the Seventh.
Lord, the old girl is getting her hooks
into him early, Well, as long as Gas
kins is laid up, she may as we'll amuse

rather good locker, isn't he? Do
you know anything about the man ?
Has he got any stufi?"

voice. Hes a West Pointer. Vera

that's the woman of 1t. Heard from
Gaskins tonight"
"Oh, he's all right" the man
laughed. THAT little prick frightened
him though. Shut up like clam"

story quiet, all right. AS soon as he
is we'll enough to come down here

lightly with her fan, but was once

Hamlin when he was a major of the
Fourth Texas infantry during the late

mates. Naturally was delighted to
meet him again."
The captain stared at the mans
rigid figure"
Good Lord, l never knew that,
Hamlin," he exclaimed. Glad to
know 1t, my man. You see," he ex-
planned lamely, I'VE get all kinds of
fellows in the ranks, and are not in

Hamlin under my command for two
years now, and hanged if l knew any,
thing about him, except that he was

go, Mrs. Dupont?"
"Oh, yes; we have exhausted all
our "reminiscences. Goodby, Sergeant;
so glad to have met you again"

He accepted it silently, aware of the
slight pressure of her fingers. Then

window, and the falling curtain yelled

Hamlin caught glimpse of theiI
backs as they passed out-one In in
fantry fatigue, the other, a heavier
built man, fairly we'll dressed in citi-

to see their features the Sergeant
swung himself over the rail, and

LIFE LONGER IN THE CITIES
German Efficiency Makes SAC Persons
In 1000 Reach Age Of Fifty
Years.

Life is longer in the German cities
than in the small towns. This is the
discovery announced by the German
statistical bureau, which has published
figures showing that 546 persons in
each 1000 In cities of more than 1907
900 inhabitants reach the age of 30.
compared with $40 reaching the same
age in cities of between 10000 and
100000 and 544 in towns of fewer than
10000 inhabitants.
These figures pay a remarkable
tribute to German efficiency" said
Prof. A. Fraenkel, director of the
Municipal hospital of Berlin
I'VE believe that speed In the cities
tends to shorten life, but 1t helps to
cure our other evils. We believe that
one of the principal reasons for life
being longer in cities is that medical
attention is prompt and expert at the
same time In small towns there are
fewer physicians and hospitals and
might have saved his life.
Another great reason for longer
life is the success of the recent cam
paign aimed at saving babies in the
large cities through giving free in
structlon and assistance to mothers
in the care of infants and providing
pure milk, free nurseries and supplies
This is difficult matter in the
smaller cities because Of the lack of
organization. The result is that SO
more babies in every 1000 live through
the first year than was the case ten
years ago."
