dairy herds do not make it q practice
to use the best sires possible in their
work.
1t often happens that a man who Is
progressive enough to introduce q high
class sire into q community is given
little recognition for his progressive
spirit. When it becomes necessary to
dispose of the sire he oftentimes must
send him to the market for beef. Our
correspondent apparently had a neigh
Dor who recognized and grasped the
opportunity to secure a tried sire to
head his herd.
1t often happens that a man buying
a young male must dispose of him be-
fore he is in a position to know just
how good he may be as a breeder. A
notable instance along this line occur
red at the Missouri experiment station
some years ago.. A registered Jersey
bull was sold at an ordinary price for
a good registered bull. and later it de-
veloped when his heifers came into
full production that he was one of the
most remarkable producers Of the
breed.
Where several men in a community
are interested in the same breed such
sacrifices as this need seldom occur.
A good sire may be kept in a commu
nifty long enough to determine his mer-
It as a breeder.

A HOUSING REF0RMER.

better conditions secured.
The condition of our poor car never
be permanently improved until their
surroundings are bettered. Every eff
fort l made to help them convinced
me Of this. Some years afterward !
was called to a town to help start a
housing movement and was told that
both the charities secretary and the
district nurse were threatening to give
up and leave unless the housing condi-
lions of the poor could be improved.
feeling that their work was hopeless
and their strength wasted.
And we were finding out then that
our eager efforts to alleviate the
wretchedness of the poor ended in
alienation. The stream Of misery
flowed on unchecked and seemed to be
growing larger. We had been doing
almost nothing to prevent the evils
whose ravages cost so much to repair.
From every quarter there was borne
in upon me the definite conviction that
l could do more for child welfare and
for civic welfare. more to fight tuber-
culosis and typhoid. more to prevent
vice and to promote social purity by
lettering the homes of our city than by
all the varied lines of effort that had
engrossed me. 1 began to notice how
the threads of the social problems. the
civic problems and even the business
problems of "a city are all tangled up
with the housing problem and to realize
that housing reform is fundamental.
From that time on l began to con-
centrate my energies upon this one
thing. which has become my life work.

Had Her Wits About Her.

Sir Robert Ball, who was a keen
humorist, was never loath to recount
a joke at his own expense. The
great astronomer was dining with
some friends at Stratford, and when
the bill was presented he said to
the landlady: MADAM, l am going
to give you a lesson in astronomy.
In 25.ooo,oo0 years all things must
return to their original condition.
We shall all be here again eating a
dinner precisely identical. Will you
give us credit until we come back"

With summer the careful mother be-
gins to think of camps for her grow

more a matter of weight than how to

ably. One sporting goods house has
just opened a department for girls
wherein everything from cap to sneak

The first item. IL the girl is to go to
a regular camp. is. Of course, bloom

manner.
MILDLY blouses to wear with them
come in white without trimming. ex-
cept for the blue or red collar and
cuffs. There are stars on the collar,
cuffs and pocket. The collar is a sail
or one. cut open ut the neck. and the
sleeves are th%ree-quarter ones.
For the smaller girl there are two
piece suits of one material. They come
in good quality drill. in tan, with a
navy blue or red sailor collar and
trimming or in solid navy blue with
out trimming. For girls up to twelve
years only the same suit comes in
smaller sizes.
One piece swimming suits come in

ROSE WITH THE MOUNTAINS.
A Bolivian City That Mas Built Before
the Andean Upheavai.

the Andean Upheavai.
The question which confronts the
archaeologist is, How could a popu-
lation sufficiently numerous to ac-
complish the building of such a
city as T%ianahuaco, in Bolivia, have
maintained itself in this region?
The ruins are located $4,000 feet
above the level of the sea on a vast
plateau, where the constant cold
prevents the maturing of corn or
other grain. At present potatoes,
oca and some other edible roots are
grown, but the region sustains only
a scanty mountain population.
The city once covered a large
area. The great structures were
built by skilled masons. One stone
is thirty-six feet long by seven wide
and weighs 40 tons. Another is
twenty-six feet by sixteen and six
feet thick. Only the monoliths of
ancient Egypt equal those found in
Tianahuaco. The movement and
placing of such monoliths point to
a dense population, to an organized
government and consequently to a
large agricultural area with means
of transportation from various d.
rections.
The only tenable explanation is
that at the time when Tlanahuaco
-lourished the Andes we're from
1000 to 5000 feet lower than at
present. Biologists hold that in the
~jurassic and even in the cretaceous
period there were no Andes and
that through a gradual upheaval
they have been formed in more re-
cent geological times. The bones
of a mastodon have been discovered
in Bolivia at an altitude of $4,000
feet above the sea, and such an
animal could not have existed at
such an elevation. Skeletons of gi-
gantic anteaters have been found
in the deserts of Tarapaca, and
these could only have existed in re-
gions of arboreal vegetation.
These and other geological facts
support the theory that the ancient
city of Tianahuaco existed when
the Andes we're much lower than at
present, perhaps when the cave
man of Britain was fighting for his
life with cave bear, wild boar and
mastodon and sketching their rude
pictures on the walls of his primi-
tive, subterranean dwelling. - San

OLD TYPE CITIES.
They Are Not to Be Regarded as Elk
ampies For Imitation.

They Are Not to Be Regarded as Ex-
amples For Imitation.
Many city planners of the old school.
says Werner Hegemann in the Amert-
can City, continue to regard cities such
as Paris, Berlin or Vienna or such as
Nuremberg or Rothenberg as ideals
that can be held up for imitation in
modern cities. This. however. seems
to be fundamentally wrong. All these
supposed model cities, though they
present most valuable material for
study. represent an old type.
The old city type is characterized by
congested tenements with stores and
business premises on the ground floors
afadyfn the cellars. The most funds,
mental idea gof modern city planning
goes back to the years 1865 and 1896.
when the great pest followed by the
great fire revolutionized the c%ongested
city Of London and, frightening some
of its citizens out of the old city walls.
taught them to desert the congestion
and to live in suburbs spread over
wide areas. The ideal city has its
dwelling house district of the garden
city type distinct from the business
district, connections being made by
those astonishing systems Of rapid
transit which characterize the modern
big city. The extravagant land values.
as one views them in congested cities
like Paris. Berlin and Vienna. pre-
vent the proper development Of private
gardens and even of public parks and
Fairgrounds. while public and private
gardens a thrive in the modern de-
centralized cities.

W. L. FINCH, TOWN BUILDER.

Pioneer In the Work Of Commercial
Organization.
Twentieth century industry and In

creation Of many new professions. but
to personal initiative alone may be at
tributed the newest and most unique
profession Of them all. that Of the COM
mercial club organizer.
Will L. Finch, president Of the Town
Development company of New York.
is the pioneer in the profession that he
has created. His hand turns CONNER
cial club lethargy into life and makes
ten members work where n drowsed
before. His business Is to prod the
sleepy commercial organization into a
realization of its existence and. hav-
ing once aroused it, to instruct 1t in
the ways it should tread. All over the
country his advent to a town has
meant that the place so favored was
due to a boom for prosperity. for his
up to date and. at the same time. hard
headed business acumen supplies the
foundation for successful commercial
enterprise.
Up and down, across and back the

Black and White Wicker.

There Is something quite attractive
in the black and white wicker furni'
ture. The pieces are so woven that
the alternate colors are formed into
broad bands or squares to decorate
the chairs. tables. couches, etc. The
creators of the black and white wicker
also make the unusual pieces Of furni-
ture that give harmony to piazza and
porch furnishings. These include the
pretty wicker trays with folding legs
(similar to those imported from Japan
and the porch pole vases and various
flower holders. OF course these can
be had in new designs In smoked bam-
boo, but the latter would not harmo-
nize well with the black and white ,litts

Mount Vernon. st. Louis. st. Paul and
St. John attribute the power of their
commercial clubs to his guiding hand.
Like most men who have attained
the summit Of their professions, Mr..
Finch has reached his present position
Of recognized authority after a long.
hard climb. Beginning as a newspaper
man in Cincinnati, he graduated from
journalism at an early age and fdenti-
fed himself with commercial work.
For ten years he was the secretary of
the old Cincinnati organization, first
known as the Industrial bureau. then
as the Commercial association and
now as the chamber Of commerce.
Growing with. or, rather, forcing. the
growth of the organization, Mr.. Finch
brought the Ohio chamber to its pres
ent high state Of efficiency. Then. hav-
ing practically reached the limit Of en-
deavor in local work. he branched out
and boldly created the field Of CON-
mercial organization. Over t%hirty-eight
successful campaigns in towns that
ranged in size from Clarksburg. w.
Va. to New York city and St Louis
attest the wisdom Of his unique ven
ture.
The recent phenomenal campaign
in Spokane. Wash, in which over 3.OOO
new members were enrolled within a
week. is perhaps the browning trt.

summation Of the efforts of this pho
