TWELVE HOUSES TO THE ACRE
New Building Regulation That Has
Recently Been Put In Opera
ton in England.

On Monday, June 8, the first town
planning scheme under John Burns
complaining act of 1909 became OPP
erative. Before doing 80 1t had to
pass through various stages of ap-
proval by the local government board.
and also to run the gauntlet of the
houses Of parliament.
The plan thus approved concerns
1920 acres in the suburbs of Birm-
ingham, upon which, according to the
law as established by these various
authorities, not over IL houses to the
acre may be erected. This measns
that, at about FIVE persons to the
house, this suburb laid out on the
best Of lines, with open space in
abundance, will accommodate about
100000 persons.
In most American cities two-story
houses are erected about 40 to the
acre, and the average number Of in
dividuals is five and two-tenths.
This would mean crowded popula-
ton of 4S2,560 on the area Of 1880
acres.

Fancy Towel.

An unusually handsome towel can
be made of heavy linen buck and cor
onation crochet insertion. Procure a
buck towel Of the size desired (the in
sertion is rather too heavy for the
small guest towel, with hemstitched
ends. Cut one end off about an inch
and a half above the hem. On the
raw edge of the towel and on the
raw edge Of the piece cut off, make the
narrowest possible hens by hand.
The coronation crochet to be used
is that beautiful lace made by crochet
ing coronation braid into design with
heavy crochet cotton. 1t is quite as
effective as cluny. Join the two
places of the towel, after they are
each hemmed. by whipping on to both
small hens the strip of insertion.
Only one end of the towel should be
ornamented in this fashion, the hem
stitching being sufficient for the other
end.

KNOWING

When you can not have an egg beat
er try using three forks instead OF
one.
A coat of clear varnish Is good
thing to give straw mating before II
is laid.
When cooking beef in a fireless
cooker do not put salt on until the
beef is done.
II fruits are canned as soon as they
are picked there will be less loss by
fermenting.
Let the white woodwork have plenty
of sunshine. Too much shade makes
1t yellow.
To save both time and the cream
in whipping 1t, whip cream in pitch
er instead of a bowl There is no
chance Of scattering.
When a cloth dress becomes spotted
sponge 1t with equal parts of hot wa
ter and turpentine. Iron the parts
when dry over a damp cloth.
Pieces of old kid gloves are excel
lent for mending the back seam OF
children's shoes. Sew the patch neat

To clean lacquered articles, brush

Hamlln and a dozen other men were
still In saddle. Without orders they
dashed forward. squirting maddened
horses Into the ranks of the Indians,
hurting them left and right, firing into
Infatuated red faces, and slashing
about with dripping sabres. Into the
lane thus formed sprang the tortured
mules, sweeping on with their precious
load Of ammunition. Behind closed In

Dragged from his horse at the first
fierce shock, his revolver empty, his
broken saber jagged piece of steel,
Hamlin hacked his way through the
first line of warriors, and found ref
uge behind dead horse. Here, with
two others, he made stand, gripping
a carbine. 1t was all the work of
moment. About him were skurrying
figures. Infatuated faces, threatening
weapons, yells of agony, cries Of rage.
The three fought like fiends, standing
back to back, and striking blindly at
leaping bodies and clutching hands.
Out Of the mist, the mad confusion
of breathless combat, one face alone
seemed to confront the Sergeant. At
first 1t was delirium; then 1t be-
came reality. He saw the shaggi-
ness of a buffalo coat, the CLEAN of
white face. All else vanished In a
fierce desire to kill. He leaped for
ward, crazed with sudden hate, hurled
aside the naked bodies in the path,
and sent his whirling carbine stock
crashing at Dupont Even as it struck
he fell, clutched by gripping hands,
and over all rang out the cheer of
the charging troopers. Hamlin stag
gered to his knees, spent and breath
less, and smiled grimly down at the
dead white man in that ring of red.
1t was over, yet that little body of
troopers dared not remain. About
them still, although demoralized and
defeated, circled an overwhelming
mass of savages capable Of crushing
them to death, whom they again raj
lied and consolidated. Custer did the
only thing possible. Turning loose the
pony herd, gathering his captives
close, he swung his compact command

In the southeastern part of Asiatic

wet season, forms part of the bed Of

abundance on the bottom lands uncov-

object being to impress upon the In

sion that the Seventh would never

7 Helps Y
PARKS NO LONGER A LUXURY
Not Only Health Necessity, But Con
stltute Most important
Civic Asset.

One of the latest cities to secure
general plan reports, joining in with
the leading American cities in secur-
ing such general schemes of develop
ment, is New London, Conn. The re-
port, presented by John Nolan, Of Cam
bridge, formerly of Philadelphia, con-
tains the following reasons why New
London and every city should acquire
parks:
There are at least four reasons
why New London should now act in a
large way In acquiring and improving
land for use as parks and Fairgrounds.
~ Property is steadily increasing in
value. 1t is not likely to be cheaper
than 1t is now. (2) Once bought, park
lands increase in value. All other pub
lie works depreciate. Parks appreci-
ate. (3) Parks pay for themselves, or
more than pay for themselves, by ma
king new real estate values. Some ex-
amples In support of this statement
are given in the appendix. az A sound
park policy, vigorously pushed by pub
Tic authority, soon brings rich g1fte
from private individuals. The history
Of American city parks furnishes much
evidence in support of this tendency.
Cities that own few parks seldom re-
ceive gifts of parks. On the other
hand, cities like Hartford, Conn. that
have long and honorable record in
public park-making, have an equally
long and honorable record of private
gifts for parks.
Parks are no longer considered
luxury by growing American cities.
They are classed with streets and
sewers and schools as, a necessity.
They contribute directly to health and
efficiency, to pleasure and economic
wealth. Moreover. they stir and nour-
ish civic pride"
