How Decatur Citizens Won the
of incoming Locomotive Workers.
When an industry moves from one
community to another the change
means for many of its employees de-
serting homes dearly paid for, taking.
children out Of school. breaking OF
church and lodge affiliations.
It was for this reason that Decatur.
ILL.,, through its chamber Of commerce,
determined to do everything In its
power to make the locomotive shop
men employed by the Wabash railroad
like their new place Of residence when
the road moved its machinery from the
old shops in Springfield to the new
plant in Decatur. one Of the largest OF
it's kind In the world
When they learned that they were
to be transferred to Decatur the shop
men sent :, committee to that city to
investigate The report was unfaEor-
uble The shopmen We're informed that
vacant houses were few, that rents
were high and board excessive.
It was then that the Decatur cham.
Der of commerce interested itself. An
investigation Of almost every boarding
house in the city disproYed the report
that board was excessive. A meeting
Of builders was called, and, though no
definite promises were secured as to
how many houses they would erect,
the chamber satisfied itself that enough
would be provided by the following
spring.
Through its secretary, John N. Byrne,
the chamber compiled list Of board
ing houses, secured the names Of the
shopmer who were coming and en-
couraged real estate men to write them
with view to finding out their needs.

wives and children, were due to arrive

companied by thirty citizens, each with

the shopmen to the waiting machines
and took them on q ten mile ride over
the principal streets and through the
park,
At the end Of the ride any lingering
feeling Of prejudice. and hostility had
been removed and shopmen shook
hands with their hosts. The news
travelled back to Springfield, with the;
result that shopmen who had been

A HOPEFUL MOVEMENT.

To me city planning is the
most hopeful Of all municipal
movements - first, because it
means a INSTALLATION Of the city
as G possible agency Of great
good to mankind. Heretofore
we have looked upon it as an
evil, as q behemoth. Now we
are beginning to realize that 1t
contains great possibilities Of
good; that poverty can be mini
mized: that the houses people =.
live in can i,c controlled; that the
city Of tomorrow need not be
what the city Of today is-a men
ace to our civilization.
Over q hundred cities in this
country have already undertaken
ambitious town planning prof.
ects. Each week adds new cities
to the list. Experts are being
employed; the architect, the
landscape artist and the engineer
are being called In for the solu-
ton Of these problems. Amer
lea awoke to this problem later
than did Germany, France or
England, but with our unbound
ed resources, with our fertile
imaginations, believe that in
another generation the American
city will outstrip even the cities
Of Germany In its municipal
achievements. For it must be
remembered that the American
city is on democratic basis.
It IS acquiring freedom to act
under home rule legislation, and
whatever the failures Of democ-
racy may have been in the past
I have faith to believe in the
evidence already before US that
democracy Will solve the prob
lens which now confront it more
effectively than have even the
most advanced nations Of the old
world.-Dr. F.. c. Howe.

! THE CITY
TEXAS TOWNS IN
SANITARY CONTEST.
More Than a Hundred Municipalities
Compete For Cleanliness Prizes.

ness by nearly 100 towns in Texas has

winner in Class a, which included

place in Class 2. which included towns

all over the state were cleaning up,
recognizing that cleanliness was one
Of the greatest obstacles to the dis
ease.
During this panic there was hardly
a town that did not carry on cleanup
campaigns. Back yards and alleys
were cleaned of their rubbish, and
houses and places Of business were
thoroughly renovated. But when the
epidemic S,ll,sided the towns were re-
lapsing into the ways of the past
. Then Colonel Holland Of Dallas came
forth with y plan for a .4cleanest town
contest" He offered $1,000 to the
town or city which would prove itself
the cleanest il, the state by the -nd OF
the year. All over Texas cities joined
In the contest.
Dr.. 81. NJ. .Gerrick Of Dallas was
chosen as inspector. He considered
the conditions of the streets, parks and
alleys. water supply and drainage, col
lection and disposal Of garbage, vacant
lots. appearance Of homes, ventilation
and care of public conveniences, espe
cially schools. presence of flies and
mosquitoes. handling and exposure OF
all kinds Of food products and other
matters affecting health.
At the end of the first campaign IL
was found that Gainesville and Brown,
wood were tied for first place among
cities above 1000 inhabitants and that
Memphis and Gonzales were tied for
first place among cities OF smaller pop
ulation. Ron!Ian, entered the second
contest. 1t had Just put down several
miles of street paving. old brick and
board sidewalks had been torn up, and
new concrete sidewalks had taken their
place. The city had a new charter'
under which it increased its tax rates
and at once issued $780, 900 in bonds.
By cooperation Of the city council
with the county commissioners land
scape gardener was employed, and the
courthouse yard was parked. The
board OF trade took the leadership in
the cleanup campaign and brought to
its assistance the boy scouts. womens
clubs. Representatives from the negro
settlements and the city council.

HELD As SPY
Texan in Hands of English as Ger.
man Spy.

London, Nov. 24.-The intense
public interest in the case of Carl
Hans Lody, the German spy recently
being paralleled in less degree by
the attention given the trial of the
man who claims to be Bridgeman II.
Taylor of Eel Paso, Tex, in the Bow
street court, the prisoner who has an
American passport in the name of
Bridgeman Taylor. but whom Scot
land Yard insists is Horst Won de
Goltz and who was remanded for a
further hearing. 1t is intimated that
the next hearing will be before an
other court, presumably a courtmar-
tial.
The only charge against the pris-
oner is that he has not registered as
an alienist. 1t is alleged, however,
that the circumstances of the case,
in some particulars, are similar to
those of the Lody trial. The prison
er arrived in London on Nov. 8. Ac-
cording to the statement of the pass
port he had he was just from Ger
many. He is said to have boosted of
|Germany's great prowess. He spoke
mostly in German and when he used
the English language it was with a
decided German accent.
other guests at the hotel at which
he registered say that the man told
them that he was born in America.
that his mother was a German and
his father a n American. Upon the
death of his father, he said. he was
taken by his mother to Germany,
where he was educated.
The prisoner is about IS years
old. tall and athletic and c%onspicu-
Eously well dressed. He was penni-
i~esss&pge6si arrested and apparently
was without friends in London.
