NOT ADVERTISING THAT PAYS
UnsIahtiy Billboard Of Little Value to
Loser and None to the Com
munity.

The commission appointed to study
the billboard problem in Greater New
York, and whose finding will be of in
terest to other large cities as well, de-
clares b%illboards generally to be a nui-
sance; a conclusion, by the way, which
the public reached long ago. The
commission also ~entertains serious
doubt whether this form Of publicity
is worth as much to the advertiser as
other methods. II It should be money
wasted, only the patrons of this loud"
advertising are the losers.
1t is the flaring, glazing b%ilIboards
themselves from which the public suf-
fers. Their tawdry and often un-
slightly character Is an offense to good
taste. They disflgure the landscape
and increase often the fire danger.
Why then, If they must be permitted,
should the owners Of the billboards or
the advertisers not be made to pay
for It? France is quite up-to-date in
this respect, by imposing a tax Of from
Is to 500 francs on each such board.
according to size and location.
At this time, when problems Of tax
alton are so acute in this country, 1t
may be the proper thing to draw pub
lie attention to the matter. II there
must be bi1lboards, let the men who
make this their business pay for the
privilege.

him alive again. She had prayed 81.
lently for help to come, but she was
still alone. Already she was giving
up hope from that quarter and was
conscious that upon her own efforts
In all probability the very life Of the
man she loved would depend. To add
to her anguish vas the fear that he
might regain consciousness and be-
tray himself by a mean.
Now 1t all depended upon Little
Ella. 1t had been a clever stroke,
that Of Ryan's, asking her how she
would be treated in this woman's
home. Against this appeal to class
prejudice Gloria had not scored.
"Ill TELL" said the woman.
The two men looked at each other
and smiled.
"Stop!" cried Gloria, looking not
at the men, but at the girl who lay
pale and trembling upon the bed. do

my sorrow you shall have proof of 1t

amazement. "You shall see II you

eyes. She stretched out her hands
to Ella pathetically and begged hum

to take him from me?"

it's all the same. Get them to go
away"
This was easier said than done, but
Little Ella vas willing to make the
effort.
You git away from that door. an
leave me alone"
open this door, you she-devil,"
threatened the besieger, "or III"
And then interrupted another voice
with a suggestion that made Gloria
grow faint.
"Aw! Let's bust it in. He's in there
all right"
Let 'er CO." answered the first
one,
Then came the heavy thuds as the
men threw themselves against the
door, The knocking at the gate in
Macbeth" had no more portentious
sound in the play than had this at
tack upon her stronghold to Gloria.
She felt all the rvousne Of troops
under fire that must remain inactive
awaiting orders. There was nothing
she could do but wait until the door
was battered down.
This was not long in happening. AS
she stood In front Of the trunk ner-
vously twisting her handkerchief in
her hands, at n last mighty effort
the bolt yielded, the door few open
and two men stumbled into the room.
Little Ella recognized them both in
stantly. They were Buck Kelly and
Turkey Ryan, notorious denizens of
the underworld. II ever there were
two vicious-looking cutthroats, these
men answered their descriptions. To
make their ruflanly appearance worse
they bore the marks Of their recent
encounter. Kelly's left eye had
swelled almost closed, and Ryan had
a long cut across his cheek where
Wright's ring had left Its mark with a
slashing blow. He had done even more
damage than this, but these showed
the plainest. Needless to say, their
tempers had not been sweetened by
the episode.
Nov, damn you" Ryan began
savagely.
Stop" Gloria commanded. what
are you doing here?"
Until she spoke they had not seer
her, and both men were taken much
aback. TO find a lady there was
something they had not expected,
What the" Ryan gasped, but
checked himself and then continued
in a slightly nor respectful tone. ~
begs yer pardon, miss, but what are
you dom here?"
That's none of your business. You
clear out, both of you"
This encouraged Little Ella to take
her part in the discussion, which she
did with her most strident tones.
What do youse mean, buttin' into
here? Beat 1t, you two. I'm a lady,
an when | have a lady frien' avisitin'
me they amt no place for buns. On
yer way"
1t was not this TRADE which had the
most effect upon them. Both quailed
before Gloria, who stood cycling them
sternly. Then they looked at each
other. and without a word of apology
shambled out into the hall.
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1913-12-05

This threat had an unpleasant
sound. Hitherto the girl had not
feared for her own safety, but his
surly remark frightened her. The one
thing that kept her steadfast was the
thought that she was protecting the
mar she had loved; yes, the man she
now loved more than she ever had.
She did not know how he happened to
be there; she did not know how he
regarded her; she only knew that she
loved him, that she would give her
life a sacrifice to save him.
Ryan next appealed to Little Ella.
Ella, that guy come in here. Where
is he? We amt goin' to be scared
by any fool girl. She don't know who
wants him. Now give i'm up"
Don't say a word" Gloria told her.
You gotta stick by us, Ella. This
amt no ordinary job"
At Ryan's injunction to stick BY
him, Little Ella seemed to waver.
Don't you fergit who yer friends
are. Who keeps you from bein'
jugged? Mike Noonan. Who let's you
stay here when you can't pay, an
feeds you? Mike Noonan."
That's so. He has been good to
me-"
Gloria was quick to catch the note
Of indecision. But now I'm going to
take care Of you"
Yes, goin' to, goin' to-" sneered
Kelly. you know what church prom.

stan together down here, all of u.s."
1t was the old, old appeal of class
to serve a selfish end.
Eyes, that's true. I don want to
say anything, but
Ryan Immediately pressed the ad.
vantage he thought he had gained.
This is yer chanel, Ella. You
know what she'd say to you If you was
in her house. Are you with US? I'll
see you git yours"

was at stake. Gloria believed that

Relation Of City and Country.

With US, cities are as certain te
spring up with the increase of country
population as the forests are to disap-
pear. City and country are organicaf
ly related. Crops cannot be grown with
out fields, nor exchanged and manufac-
tured under the modern system of d.
vision of labor without cities. Only
in the rudest pioneer settlements do
men dispense with this division of la
bors by doing everything painfully and
badly on the farm. Such settlements
are retarded and hampered until they
have towns for the city part of the
work. When we estimate that the av.
erage inhabitant of New York may
have had but a feK score square feet
for his own use, we are apt to forget
that he can only exist on them because
somewhere in the country there are
acres of ground producing for him, as
really and definitely for him as IL he
owned them and hired the labor on
them, what Professor Penck has called
his "sustenance space."-Mark Jeffer
son, In the Atlantic.

WANTS OPINIONS OF EXPERTS
City Of Philadelphia Has Planned Elk.
tenslVe Scheme for the Better
ment Of American Cities.

Invitations to participate in an ex.
hibition Of American and foreign city
planning have been received in Phila-
delphia by city departments and civic
organizations. The exhibition will be
open from November "a to December
6. The arrangements are In charge of
an advisory commission on city plan
ming exhibition, appointed jointly by
the heighth of buildings committee OF
the board Of estimate and %appropria-
ton of the city of New York and by
the Merchants association Of New
York. The work Of collecting and in
stalling the exhibition has been in
trusted to the American city bureau. A
circular outlining the scope of the ex-
hibition may be obtained at the same
address by anyone interested.
Commenting editorially on this ex-
hibition, the American City says:
"a need widely recognized by city
planners Is about to be met. Too
many municipal officials and civic
bodies are still applying with mediae-
val l~iteralness the precept to live as
though this hour we're thy last And
eve where there has come, to certain
fa~r-sighted leaders, a realization that
cities will exist ten years or fifty years
hence, this vision has halted or hest
tated before the obstacle of an unen-
llghtened public opinion"
Indeed, popular ignorance as to
aims, methods and advantages is al
most everywhere the chief hindrance
to the adoption or enforcement of ar
adequate city planning program.

II Gloria believed that she had put
to flight for all time such g~entlemanly
assassins as Mr.. Kelly and Mr.. Ryan,
her feeling OF triumph did not last
long. AS the door into the hall was
still open she did not dare make a

1t under the knob, before trying fur
