CITY PLANNING FOR 1914.

In the United Suites the year
!. 1914 should witness n notable
!. advance for city planning in
i. three distinct directions:
EIrst-.A great many more cit
!. les and towns should receive the
; benefit of it. This will be city
planning's cumulative advance.
due in large part to such sweep
ing Legislation Of the last few
. months as the 1913 act of Mas
~sachusetts. which requires ev-
. cry city or town Of the COM
, monwealth, IL containing a pop
ulation Of 10000 or more, to Gre
ate a planning board; as the
Pennsylvania act Of 1913 Great
ing a department Of city plan
ming in the twenty-three third
class cities Of that state and as
the 1913 act of New York au-
thorizing every city and village
of the latter state to create a
planning commission. The indi-
rect influence of this legislation
may be greater than even its d.
rect results.
Second. = There should be a
qualitative advance common
surate with the cumulative.
This will reflect the growth of
knowledge and experience and
the inspiration of enlarged OPP
portnnities. The gain here should
be registered especially in en-
phasis upon the social service
aspect Of city planning-on what
city planning can do. not so
much for the appearance Of the
town as for lettering the living
and working conditions of all
classes Of people in all kinds of
towns.
Third.-There should be an adj
vance in the scientific study of
city planning principles. This
should be evidenced in an inau-
guration of new courses and in
an enlargement of the existing
courses OF city planning instruc-
ton in the universities. Such ad-
vance will naturally result from
the foregoing demands.-Charles

Ten years ago practically the whole

decades before in the decayed tene-

Such was the origin Of Roebling, N. j.

RARE WHALE RECENTLY

with an unusually retiring DISPOSE

natural history section of the Brit

at Rosslare, Ireland. The existence
of these whales Is known only from
the occasional discovery of strand
ed specimens on civilized coasts.
Not more than dozen have been
found on the British coasts since
records have been taken and the
specimens in the worlds museum
can be counted on the fingers Of one
hand. Nobody knows much about
this particular member of the great
whale family and nobody has seen it
at home.
Its address, for that matter, Is a
secret which this supreme diplomat
of the seas has SO far managed to
keep intact. It's habits and it's
haunts alike are as yet unrevealed to
inquigitive man and it only ventures
for a long stroll to well-frequented

London, Oct. 1.-The Salvation
Army has made a nit with Tommy

be seen any day at the recreation
tent which the Salvation Army
maintains at Colchester, devouring
some twenty-five dozen pork pies,

newspapers, writing letters home.
and occasionally participating In
some religious service. But the de-
mands for food have been so great
that the army has as yet mad little
time for song and prayer.
The Colchester camp Is only one
.of many where the Salvationists
maintain these popular recreation
tents for the volunteers. An appre-
citation Of the work is instanced at
Cambridge, where Adjutant and
Mrs. Windiate of the Salvation
Army served the soldiers so faithful
ly that the colonel in command pre-
sented his dress sword to Adjutant
Windiate. He and his wife parti-
cularly distinguished themselves IN
caring for some $50 wounded SOL
diers.
Commissioner Higgins, formerly
in New York with Commander Eva
Booth. directed the work of these
recreation centers. In addition to
serv,ce at home, there are five hun
dred selected Salvation Army officers
who have offered themselves 1or
work with the British Red Cross and
stand ready to enter the field when
ever needed.
Although the charges made lo'
food and drink are very slight, Gen
era, Booth estimates he can main
tain a refreshment and amusement
tent for a year on $3.50. The Saliva
tionists charge only two cents cul
for ten and the same for bread ant
