Such commission or board should have Il

should be a permanent organization so that the
work once started should not terminate with the
termination Of the general municipal administra-
ton in force.
1t would be the duty Of the city planning de-
partment to cooperate with other departments
in order to obtain the best results.
At present city planning in New York is beiul
carried on to a certain extent By more les
informal committee of the Board Of Estimat

city officials, contains no expert in city planning
and its members are largely, if not wholly an

THE CITY PLANNING EXPERT NECESSARY
TO DEVELOPMENT OF CIVIC CENTRE.

Good judgment not matter Of opinion, but a
matter of principle training and experience is
necessary to the selection of proper location for
q civic centre in order to avoid the criticism and
condemnation Of future generations 70 which we
lay ourselves open if we do not exercise proper
Judgment At the crucial moment.
Il is the duty of those responsible TO acquaint
themselves with some of the basic principles Of
city planning and. while there is still time, to re-
tain city planning experts thoroughly versed in
the various phases of civic engineering as It Is
taught abroad. i'm order to eliminate costly expert
mental undertakings at the expense Of the public.
1t can hardly be expected that the architects and
engineers employed by New York City for so many
years on regular salary basis to exercise the
daily routine of the architect and engineer will be
found competent to handle the problems OF city
planning which has developed a new science
abroad City planning is higher art than th"
mere supervision of individual structures, with
which we were once satisfied, but which we at
present bewail and contemplating changing at
enormous expense.
What New York City needs at present more
than anything else is an advisory board on city
planning consisting of experts who are not only
familiar with domestic practice, but who have
enlarged upon the experience OF European under
takinCs instead Of experimenting with under
takings like the Municipal Office Hdilding and
the round Courthouse. We accustomed to
excuse past undertakings for the reason that
those responsible for such undertakings were
rot sufficiently trained in city planning. StrlN-
ing examples of such mistakes are to be found
in the construction of the subway system. Large
sums Of money had to be spent for the altera
tions. such as platforms removal Of staircases,

Planning and Maintenance

~OR number Of years the City of New
IL York has contemplated the creation of q
city planning commission for regulating
the various civic Improvement uadertak-
irys of the municipality, well as those o. prl-
va,c individuals. The work which would come
rcder the supervision OF such city planning
commission would include among ether things.
housing, Industrial structures the conveyances Of
supplies ard materials Of manufacture and manu-
fac.ured products, the disposal OF waste material,
the arrangement Of the various sections o. the
city in accessible manner, rapid and conYen ent
means Of transportation, the provision Of facilities
for education and public recreation.
These arc the fundamental objects Of city plan
Ming, but many other city activities would come
under the supervision Of the city planning com
mission, such as regulating the height Of build
;ngs, dividing the city into districts and zones,
traffic regulations. etc.
To participate in the replanning of New YORK
is civic duty of the highest character, for in
no other way can New York be so greatly bene-
flied By those who take patriotic interest IN the
city's welfare. They serve not only their own in
terests but the interests Of the whole public by
taking par. in such a movement.
The Importance OF planning and replannng II

One of as sad accidents as we have
heard for some time occurred at the

last Thursday morning when his
daughter, Miss Mary, who was about
twenty-one years old. lost her life
through a kerosene explosion.
As near as we can learn the par
ticulars, the young lady arose about
) o'clock and started the fire with
intention of doing the family wash
ing. The fire did not seem to burn
and Miss Froland thinking it had

feel as completely at home in the

lists Table Forwarded to Him

Thomas A. Edison's favorite pur-
suit is chemistry Even as a boy tele-
grapher getting his first start toward
4 career, this inclination was mani
fest in his experiments with batter
les and electric devices, and it still
remains his greatest pleasure.
His laboratory is splendidly equip
ped. Every known substance ranging
through all the kingdoms of matter
from lanthanum to sharks teeth and
including over 100000 specimens, is
kept on hand for immediate avail
ability. 1t is collection of over
thirty years standing, encouraged
from time to time by prizes for new
additions offered by the inventor to
his men.
His own laboratory table is never,
under any circumstances, allowed to
be touched. A notice posted on the
doorway reads to the effect that Mr..
Edison is not to be disturbed in the
course of his experiments except for
matters of the utmost Importance.
So fond is he of his beloved pastime
that he declares his idea of heaven
is to be able to continue it, and his

backward spiral or revolve like top
and sail earthward, tail down?
Mechanism Complete

It is true that my latest craft was
built for the specific purposes to
which it is being put. But for gen
eral flying good biplane of the same
fundamental type should be equal in
stability. 1t is only touching the ex-
IRENE to assert that with an engine
of sufficient power an airman could
fly a piano box. By that l wish to
impress the statement that the air
man of today has absolutely every
thing he needs with which to fight
the laws of gravity. Because of this
the aeroplane already occupies the
place of a necessity, commercial and
otherwise, for the present and future
day man. 1t is only toss ahead to
the time when the aerial express will
be no more novelty than overland
limited trains are now.
Nv new machine which has accom-
plished hitherto unheard-of things,
such as flying at an angle of almost
90, is the embodiment of many OF
my own ideas and the adaptation of
the best principles Of other success
full biplanes. 1t is not unlike the
miniature Curtiss type, but at the
same time it is lighter, stronger,
smaller and faster than any other
practical craft in this country. In
many of its qualities it is without an
equal in the world.
Made Backward Spiral
In my fourth flight with this craft,
and without seriously contemplating
what | was doing, / performed the
first backward spiral ever accom-
plished. Fifteen seconds, approx
mately, were spent in the descent of
$500 it. The machine was upside
down and under perfect control every
foot of the way.
By unusual flying l am not at
| tempting to curdle the blood of the
world Quite the contrary is my
hope The sole thing l wish to ac-
complish is to instill into the minds
of the people of my own country the
serious importance of the aeroplane,
in order that the Federal government
may awaken from it's coma and see
that this nation takes its place in
the conquest of the air.-Lincoln
Beachey.
