BOSTON TO BE SIMULATED
New York Sun Thinks That City Misnt We'll Follow the Example
 of Her Slster.

Here in New York the growth or cities has been SO swift and the prob lenis of building them have been so new that the buildings were scraping the skies along every thoroughfare that commanded high rentals before the sacrifices that a congestion of sky scrapers entailed upon the public be- came apparent, says the New York Sun.
 Reforming New York in any es- sential particular is too colossal for the city planning committee to tackle over night. Instead the mirror Is held up to us so that we can see many of our most glaring faults.
 The nearest example that we ought to study is Boston, and the plan of Boston's new zone system are the first thing the visitor sees. There. follow ing the system of some German cities, they have enacted laws forbidding the erection of buildings taller than 125 feet in large area extending from the river docks to the commons. In this area there are only two buildings violating the law, the Ames building, built before the law went into force, and the new United States Customs building, which, in spite of all protests, is 400 feet tall.
 Copley square, on which Trinity church and the Library front, is pro- tected by a height limit, and so is Com monwealth avenue. A building on Cop ley square. the Westminster chambers, exceeded the legal height and was cut down to the lawful limits, the city pay ing damages. Boston also proudly ex- hibits plans of her great 1,20O-foot docks, her great dry dock, and the fa- nous fish dock

Seniors Produce Comedy.

"Galliger", school comedy that deals with a class recep- tion at the home of the principal and all the preparations incident thereto, was very cleverly en- acted before good audience at the high school auditorium on Thursday evening by the versa tile class of 1914.
 The school and patrons are very proud of the class of 1914, for they are talented lot of girls and boys, who have not only made a splendid showing as students throughout their course in school, but are capable, re- sourceful and clever in many ways.
 The 41nportance of every de- tail in the social event of the year to a Senior Class was prop erly stressed in this comedy and happily brought out by the tal- ent, each of whom portrayed his or her part most creditably.
 Carl HirSch made an admirable "Galliger" Miss Willie Overton a pretty and stately Mrs. Grindem; Walter Stallings put on all the dignity and scholarly attitude of the principal of the school; Chas. Minor looked and seemed very woman shy" professor; Miss Julia Younger capable and well portrayed freshman in charge of the reception; Miss Rita Whit ten a good and loquacious moth- er-in-law; Wiley McMinn, an ad mirable president of the class; Miss Nellie Snetser, pretty sec- retary; Miss Stella Wallace a winsome junior and last, but not least, in a splendid portrayal of their parts, Misses Frances Bai- ley and Mary Rains as rival maids, who were jealous of each others ability.
