B'WAY WORST ON EARTH
That's How Picture of 1t I'm

CITY PLANNING, HIS TOPIC
Would Have Great Skyscrapers
at Least Quarter Mile
Apart in Cities.

THAT is one Of tho worst things the
earth has ever seen" said DR.. Werner

the architectural development of Berlin
| yesterday afternoon at the City Club. as
| he threw on the screen a picture OF lower
! Broadway taken from the 25th floor OF
| the Woolworth Building.
DIR. Ilegemann was the first speaker on
the subject CITY Planning" The reflec-
ton on New York's skyline beauty was
heartily applauded by several hundred
men and women.
As an antidote for his severity, per-
hapS. DR.. Hogemann followed the picture
with one taken from the roof of the Fifth
Avenue Building. showing the Metropoli-
tan tower, Madison Square Garden and
vicinity
That" he said. is a splendid example
of the use Of high towers i'm city plan
ming. Give us ton towers like tina, in Ber-
lin. and We will have cleaner healthier
offices. But they must be separated by at
least quarter of mile. Build them as
YOU have done downtown. and you have
the city hideous."

was the PENNSYLVANIA Railroads plan o'

our elevated railroads. he thought, were
inartistic TO tho very last degree. They
have given. he said many European cities
the excuse" for some very corrupt intro
auctions of elevated lines that were most
az unloyely."
Borough President McAneny before he
introduced tho speakers. ventured the
opinion that New York was even now the
greatest city on earth" in spite Of the
fact that the city is only in its infancy"
lie said in twenty-five years the popu-
lation would be more than 100000. and
for that rea.on the outlying boroughs

What are the sweetest things on earth?
Lips that can praise rivals worth;
A fragrant rose that hides no thorn;
Riches of gold untouched by scorn;
A happy little child asleep;
Eyes that can smile, though they may
weep;
The minstrelsy Of summer days.
A heart where anger never burns;
A gift that looks for no returns;
Wrongs overthrow; pains sweet re-
lease;
Dark footsteps guiding into peace.
The light of love in lovers eyes;
Age that is young as well as wise;
A mothers kiss, a baby's mirth-
These are the sweetest things on earth
