CITIES NEED MORE SUNLIGHT
French Architect Urges FarReachlng
Reform In Street Planning
for the Future.

Far-reaching reform In city plan
ming as a primary factor In the battle
against tuberculosis WAS demanded
by the architect, Augustin Rey, in an
address made before the French So
ciety of Civil Engineers.
According to NJ Rey, cities of the
future must be so constructed that
the direction OF all the streets shall
correspond to the suns daily course
In the heavens In order that the in
habitants may receive the maximum
Of light, which is the greatest mi
crobe killer in existence.
The task CT architects, he says, will
be to plan towns In such way that
every nook and corner shall receive
its share Of the suns rays for the
greatest possible number of hours
daily. On this account he insists
that the present system OF small
apartments will have to so, and their
places be taken by smaller and more
airy dwellings.
He concludes by saying that the
present nickname of Paris, che City
of Light" should be that of all towns
which care for the health Of their
Inhabitants.

Problems OF City Building.

"Ore of the problems in modern
city building is to allow proper space
on the sidewalks for shade trees" said
Henry f. Deacon Of Detroit, Mich. at
the Hotel Stafford. Every country in
the world Is advocating the planting
of shade trees in cities. Many of the
modern cities that are being built
special attention is being given to the
shade tree problem, The United States
government has taken up the matter
and Is making a close study OF con-
dtttons that exist In other countries,
Some cities pave close UP, and by
thus cutting OF the natural surface
water supply contribute to the early
death Of the trea. Others have an un-
paved circular space around the tree
which Is often dangerous for pedestr-
ans. and Is unsightly. There Is a city
in Belgium that solves the problem by
leaving space OF two feet all around
the tree and paving up smoothly to
nush iron ring, having recess inside
70 receive sectional removable iron
grating flush with the sidewalk This
makes a neat walk and saves the
tree"

the idea of purely municipal exhibit
ton illustrating the work of the city
by means of models, pictures, dia-
grams, plans and charts, and showing
the citizens the value they receive in
return for their money, somewhat on
the plan Of our American budget ex-
hibits. They, however, were designed
to show what was done with the
money after it was spent, whereas,
the American exhibits are designed to
educate the people to demand the ap-
preparation of adequate sums. The
exhibits are housed in building spe-
cially prepared for the purpose, and
they are wonderfully interesting and
are being visited every week by thou
sands of the Cologne taxpayers. 1.-THE
grumblers," the editor declares, ARE

grateful citizens will shortly rise in a
body and demand general increase

BUILDING UP A CITY'S PARKS
Expert Sets Forth Some Sound Prin-
cipies Which 1t VIII Be Profit
able to Observe.

There are few principles in the
selection Of hands for parks. parkways
and Fairgrounds which are finding in
creastng acceptance by city authoH-
ties. Briefly stated, they are as foi-
lows: ID To acquire those easily &C
cessible small tracts In different parts
of city which may most cheaply be
adapted to serve as local Fairgrounds
or recreation centers; CD to seek also
some moderately large tracts, even
though less accessible for the present
generation. provided they are capable
of conversion at relatively small cost
into park which will have the beauty
of natural scenery; 60 to acquire
property for large parks in advance
of a general settlement OF the neigh
borhood; a. to select generally,
though not always, lands which are
not well adapted for streets and build
angs; 90 to distribute the lands over
the city IN such way as to give the
maximum of use 70 the people who
will be called upon to pay for their
acquisition. development and main
tenance.
These I've common-sense principles
have been approved and followed by
the leading landscape architects,
says John Nolan in his report on New
London.

Mr.. Roethe according to the
above statements is going to the
opposite extreme of progressive
government putting an abrupt stop
to progressive legislation. Condi-
tional statements of his policies in
stead of the arbiti airy ones he has
made would perhaps appeal better
to the voters as it is hard telling
what new things will be brought to
the legislatures attention at the
next session.

EataY Electric Shocks

Electric workers know that a severe
shock received In one foot and passing
out by the other is not likely to be
serious, while If it passed out by the
hand on the opposite side of the body
it would kill instantly. This is be-
cause In the former case the current
passes through no important organ,
while in the latter it finds the heart
in its path.

POSTAGE Stamps.

The postage stamp first made its
appearance in 1889. It's inventor was
James Chalmers, a printer Of Dundee,
who died in 1853. England adopted
the adhesive stamp in 1889, and issued
the first stamps for the use of the
public in 1910. A year later stamps
were introduced into the United
States and Switzerland, and soon aft
erward made their appearance in
France, Belgium and Bavaria.
