, PLAN TOWNS FOR WORKERS
Great Britain and Germany Are Ahead
of the United States in This
Respect.

Henry Vivian. founder Of the British
co-partnership tenants housing coun-
Gil, told the City club of Chicago
of the great need for replacing tene-
ments with comfortable, sanitary ana
livable abodes for working people. he
pointed to the manner in which cot
tages are being provided for the work
~ers of London and Liverpool on the
outskirts of those cities where sui
ticient light and air may be had
Some OF the housing ideas now USED
in England for the welfare OF workers
have been borrowed from the Ger
mans, who studiously lay out their
towns in such fashion that the great
majority of the residents are happily
accommodated Mr.. Vivian called Ger
many the country which invented
town planning
In view of the increasing imror-
lance attached to this problem the ex'
position of city building. organized By
the city Of Dusseldorf on the Rhine.
Is Of more than passing interest, as
the Scientific American points out.
The idea OF the exposition has been
suggested by the decision or the city
to call for general competition Tor
the building OF Greater Dusseldorf, the
tG.&ome OF extensive incorporauons
ol neishboring communities. Dussel-
dorf. the old and quiet town OF art
and gardens, has. with surprising
rapidly. become an industrial center
of nearly 400 900 inhabitants.
1t was intended TO exhibit such
plans OF modern city builders as would
be received in connection with this
competition but In order TO avoid any
one-sided presentation OF the subject
the municipality invited all the more
important communities OF the western
provinces OF Germany to participate In
a city exposition embracing all fields
of communal life This invitation was
sent out to all townships having more
than 10000 inhabitants In Rhenania.
Westphalla and Hessen-Nassau. az
we'll as to some firms more directly
connected with communal life. The
Dusseldorf exposition thus Is a joint
intercommunal enterprise Of the towns
and cities OF western Germany, which
in its conception IS entirely new:
About 600 exhibitors are showing near
ly 1000 different objects grouped IN
der city building sanitary arrange
ments, hospital management. civil en-
gincering and industry.
With its historical and modern town
pictures, its models and photographs
of remarkable monuments and build
ings, old and recent, its reproductions
relating to the designing Of streets
and drainage plants, gas and water
supply. the exposition is nothing short
of an illustrated history OF German
towns, and Is bound especially to ap-z
peal to those concerned with the char
acter of modern towns and their mani
fold tasks from social. educational
and sanitary point of view.

to labor A. D. 300. All those farming for
miles about live in the village, not upon
the land. Thus a village population
easily represents larger area than
that of the larger cities. Early vii

like purposes.

to get into closer touch with nature

Care of .4ancinc Baskets

All hanging baskets, no matter how
large, should be taken down at least
once each week and soaked in a tub
of water ten or twenty minutes Once
each week they should also be watered
with pot when in position. Once
each month every basket should be
given some plant food; liquid manure
is excellent for the purpose, though
soluble fertilizers may either be mixed
into the soil in the dry state or dis
solved in the water in which the
plants get their weekly perslon. Most
baskets suffer from lack of thorough
watering, but if above directions are
followed. satisfactory results will GER
tainly follow.

Reduce Width Of Rcads.

The suggestion OF the governor Of
Iowa that public roads should be re-
duced in width is very sensible one.
The governor proposes to make the
roadway 40 feet wide and turn the
rest of the land back into the farms.
While this would add many thousands
of acres to the tillable land OF the
state, the best feature OF the plan is
that 1t would greatly reduce the cost
OF keeping the road in good condition.

DAVID BELASco's GREATEST
SPECTACULAR FAIRY PLAY

With characteristic similitude
that suggests Longfellow's immortal
brook that flows on forever" David
Belasco's mental storehouse seems
to be as inexhaustible as the poetic
stream, and as year after year his
productions are presented, each year
more potent and appealing than thet
predecessor, the question arises.
NTH of his art?"
His most pretentious production in
many years, "a Good Little Devil, y
written by Rosemonde Gerard and
Maurice Rostand, wife and son of the
illustrious French poet, and adapted
by Austin Strong, comes near being
the final word in stage craft and pic
turation, as critics have pronounced
this truly wonderful production, "the
crowning achievement of his emil
nently successful career
GA Good Little Devil is a fasci-
mating fairy fantasy with the locale
laid in romantic Scotland, where the
fairies, brownies and kelpies abound
and the story in tabloid tells tale
of a little boy who lived under the
care of a prosecuting, miserly old
aunt, who was a believer in witch
craft. She dressed him in rags,
made him sleep in the garret with
the rats and half-starved kline, while
all the time she saved the money
that was sent to her by a rich uncle
for his bringing up.
One night the boy was visited by
the fairies, to whom he tells his
troubles, and discloses his love for
Juliet, blind girl who lives in the
garden, with pet squirrels, rabbits,
dogs, deer, etc., as playmateS.
The fairies promise him their aid,
and his adventures, thwarting his en-
emies, his victory, and his marriage
to Juliet, who has had her sight re-
stored by the fairies, go to make a
poetic gem such as could only ema
nate from the pens of such illustrious
authors
David Belasco has visualized this
story by his magic touch into a play
| that turns back the wheels of time
and awakens within the hearts o1
grown-ups, the tender memories o
childhood and the hours spent a

to the fairy tales of long ago.
