Cannot Elk Ace of World.

The age of the world implies fixing
the date Of the creation, and scientists
do not attempt to do that beyond say
ing that it must be reckoned by mil
lions of years. Many Bibles are print
ed with the year 1904 B. G. in the
margin Of the first chapter Of Genesis,
indicating that as the date of the
creation of the world. 1t is only with
in comparatively recent times that
science has demonstrated beyond
doubt that the world existed millions
Of years before the period formerly
assigned as the date of the creation,
and that its occupancy by man covers
period hundreds of times as long as
that formerly accepted as the age Of
the world itself The prehistoric
period means the period antedating
written history. Human records by
means Of hieroglyphics which, as now
known, reach back far beyond the
period formerly accepted as the date
Of the creation of the world.

Confederate Reunion

Everywhere throughout the
South, Confederate uniforms are
being brushed up for the Re-
union. Once more the followers
of the Stars and Bars are looking
forward to their annual meeting.
Their ranks are growing thinner
year by year, but those who have
been spared to live will march on
to jacksonville to retell the story
of the greatest conflict known to
ancient and modern history.
They played their part we'll. His
tory records no higher courage
or loftier patriotism than that of
the Confederate soldier. His
fame is enduring, and his page
in American history has no pa
rallel. He stands erect among
men, in heart at least, no matter
if his body is bent by the weight
of years. The old fire flashes
from his eye as bright as it was
on the fields Of Gettysburg and
Chickamauga, the Wilderness,
and other famous battlefields of
the war. Time lets us down
slowly, but it lets us down never
theless. A few more years and
there will be no survivor of the
Confederate armies to tell the
story. The Jacksonville Reun-
ion will be the last that many OF
these agad veterans will be spared
to attend. 1t will be a great Re-
union if no unforeseen obstacle
is interposed. Florida appeals
to the young and is intoxicating
to the old. 1t is a marvellous
country, and it's hospitality is as
splendid as the climate that sends
thousands of people to the State
every year for health and pleas
ure. Let us do our part in max
ing the Reunion the great success
that the people of Jacksonville
want it to be-.

subordinated to the interest of the
community. The crowded housing
which the greed of real estate pro-
motors so frequently brings about in
small as we'll as large towns, is not
permitted under the new town-plan-
ming legislation. Society has rights
which even the real estate agents
must respect. Cities, which were for
merly built for the power and the
glory Of the overload, and, more lat
terly, for the pocket Of the landlord,
are to be constructed for common,
ordinary folks, the class to which most
OF us belong. Life is to be preferred
above mere property.
Now all this can not be brought
about in a day. The building of
Rome took longer, whatever it's plan
ming or lack of planning required.
Progress, remarkable progress, has
been made. The Client Congress
showed that much has been accom-
plished in less than a decade. The
reconstruction Of Vienna, the working
mems houses in Germany, the max
ing over of certain poorer quarters
in Paris and Brussels and Client, Gar
den City, near London, and other city
suburbs in Great Britain, are examples
of the new but widespread movement
for better housing for town and coun-
try.
Better Housing Progress in England.
Great Britain, where conditions of
life are more nearly similar to those
in the United States, contributed the
results Of its recent experimental leg
islation. This legislation, in substance,
was designed to simplify and cheaper
the existing procedure for acquiring
land for housing purposes and to deal
with insanitary areas and unhealthful
dwellings, to require landlords to keep
rented houses in proper repair, and to
provide for town planning. Under
this act 40 British towns have
adopted schemes Of town planning tc
guide their growth and development.
Farm land to the amount of 100000
acres has been purchased and upon it
have been installed $4,000 smallhold.
ers. Ninety per cent Of this state &C
QUESTION of land was not by compul
sion but by voluntary agreement with
landowners. Ninety-eight per cent OF
the $4,000 Stockholders rent the land
Only two per cent bought it from the
state, the others preferring to be ten

is entrusted the local administration

levard and avenue and park, contrast
sharply with dwelling houses. Edin-
burgh has Princes Street, most beau
tiful, but has-or had-also North
Canongate. Paris has the Champ
Elysees and the Avenue de L Opera,
and all the sparkling boulevards, hut
also the sidestreets Of Montmartre and
Belleville London has st. James
Park and-Whitechape The same
was true Of every city yesterday and
is true today. The town-planners hope
for change tomorrow. Parks and
broad avenues and plans with noble
monuments may be beautiful and de-
sirable, but if the space which makes
them possible is taken from the living
rooms of the people, they become, to
him who sees beneath the surface
show of the city, undesirable and
hideous. Parks are city's lungs, the
breathing places for its people, but
one may not live at his best If he
breathes only on Sunday afternoons.
So the new town-plan, as the people,
particularly the little people, can not
come to the big park far removed,
takes the park to them. Town-plan-
ming and building of towns and coun-
try houses are taking on a new and
totally different aspect.
Landlords Subordinated.
In Great Britain the Conservative
party, when in power some twelve
years ago, passed through Parliament
the Small Dwellings Acquisitions Act.
The Liberals, by the Housing and
Town Planning Act Of 1909, added to
the provisions Of the earlier act the
feature Of town planning, for the first
time in British legislation. France,
Germany, Belgium and other substan-
tial countries have made large prog
ress, though not always on the same
lines. Speaking generally, the new
legislation sanctions loans by states
and municipalities for the acquisition
of land for the provision Of parks.

purposes. The interest of the land

of the scheme. Nor has this result,
according to it's advocates, depressed
private enterprise. Landlords, i'm
bued with spirit of enlightened self
interest, entered into healthy compe-
tition with the state, and leased 10000
other acres to 5000 tenants. The
scheme has cost the state about $751;
100000. In the towns, last year, $4,000
dilapidated houses were made fit for
human habitation by the laws control
Of landlords, 100000 was loaned for
workingmen's dwellings and all on the
basis of economic prices and rents.
Private enterprise was here, too, ap-
parently stimulated for in two years
the number of new houses of low val
uation and rent, constructed by land
lords and real estate owners, under
state-approved plans, increased by
100000.
State to Build Laborers' Cottages.
The British county council is often
controlled by landlords and other own
ers OF real estate, who, in a spirit of
shortsightedness, seek to keep rents
high. Walter Runciman, the British
Minister Of Agriculture, plans to have
the state at large build cottages for
farm-laborers and town workingmen
when necessary. The state, he esti-
mates, could build cottages Of ade-
quate size and character, at $3.50 each
and rent them, without loss, at rs
cents a week. He thinks 100000 such
cottages are Immediately needed.
With each cottage would be provided
land sufficient for small farming and
gardening. Housing is regarded as a
central evil in the present situation
alike Of the farm and town laborer.
The insanitary and ill-provided cot
tage which the laborer on the farm
receives in part payment for his labor
from the farmer or which the town
workman rents at an exorbitant price.
keeps the farm laborer in economic
subsection or promotes congestion in
the towns. The Runciman plan COM
mits Great Britain to a further step
toward solving this housing problem.

town planning which takes into &C
count the great majority Of the
people who dwell in the towns.
The new town-planner is prac-
teal democrat. This was the cen
trail and significant thought of the
First international Town Planning
Congress held in this quaint, historic
city Of Client, Belgium, in the Palace
Of Congresses of it's beautiful exposi-
ton. Town-planning involves house
planning. Plans are futile unless
workable. The provision of funds and
the direction and control of expendi-
ture were discussed. And because
complaining takes into account in
its largest vision the city's suburbs
and the country side, even far re-
moved, there was report of farm
dwellings and farms, of the provision
of houses in country as in town. The
gathered experiences Of a dozen ma
tions, through official representatives
from their chief cities, were presented.
Conspicuous was the object lesson
presented in an exhibit by learned
st. Andrews professor, in picture,
chart and model, Of the changing
