ssAssisting in civic improvements
is but another way Of aiding in the
commercial upbuilding OF a city and is
one of the important FEATURES OF work
in Chambers of commerce IN num-
her of the best known cities. This
makes for better homes, IS an influ-
ence toward securing better schools
a higher grade Of citizenship, and in
cidentalIy a class of residents with
moro wealth. Would it not be wise
to arrange for lectures IN the public
schools, more especially Inose IN the
southern portion of the city, not on
the cure of, but the prevention of dis
ease?" ,,-
Retiring president V. X. Stiles was
next introduced, and spoke few
words Of thanks to the members Of the
chamber fer their support during the
past year; to the directors for their
aid, and bespoke cooperation Tor the
new board.
Toastmaster Jackson introduced Mrs.
OLGA Kohlberg, the next speaker, as
follows: 1.-THE next to address you is
a 1adv known and loved, not only
above but below the tracks, for her
public spfritedness and philanthropy.
Her name is loved by thousands Tor her
good deeds and the name is also loved
by every man who enjoys the aroma
of a good cigar Mrs. olga AonlpefS
will speak on civic improvement.
Ballot for Women.
Mrs. Kohlberg opened her address by
referring to the ballot for woman and
said if was surely coming, but she did
NOT know but what many of the women
when they did get 1t, might be like the
nepress she heard of in Denver. The
negress went to register and answered
all questions properly until she was
asked what party do you affiliate
.SWel1. If I has to tell de name Of de
marty I affiliate wit, you better scratch
NV name offn dat list. Lor'! He amt
even done got his divorce yet!
Speaking in a serious veln' Mrs
%TItiIit1 and efficiency have been the
yvatchword of the last decade; beauty
ana harmony should be the cry now
And do not think that beauty IS IN IL
self expensive; the beauuful structure
need not cost one cent more than the
urIv one It is more often over dec
grafton that offends rather than SIM
plicity.
''It should encourage the promoter o.
beauty to realize that with town as
with a man attractiveness brings Tor
tune; that the clean city and the beau
tiful citv mean not only the gratlflca-
ton of the aesthetic sense, but are d
great commercial asset civic beauty
Davs. it indicates a live, prosperous
town. increases property values, con-
seouently appeals to the practlcal
minded as much as to the lover OF
beauty. TIA
in gor monuments let US listen to the
voice of those prepared to judge Dy
training and experience, and such nor
rors as the Cleveland square Danu
stand fortunately now crumpllnS 70
pieces, and such ridiculous preaks as

T0uId Restrict Height OF Buildings.
1--WE have building ordinances Oh
formidable length. Do they contain
anv clause restricting the helghC OF
buildings? Six stories, or eight at the
utmost. should be the limit in city
of the size of ours. Prosperity IS not
measured by the number Of stories
Revond the seventh floor a building is
NOT profitable in our city The charm
of Paris or of Berlin lies in their har-
monious sky lines, in the eXpIoltSa. lion .-,n
of magnificent vistas that no edlLlCe
higher than six stories is allowed 10
mar.
Gwen more offensive than the SKY :
scrsners are the apartment houses that
have lately begun to disfigure our
pret-iest residence streets by 1ofcln5
their huge bulk on the line of the side
walk. Is there no ordinance to pre-
vent this2 Prohibit the putting out OF
line of these buildings, perhaps peau-
tifuI in themselves, but marrlng pc
vond repair a street of pretty lawns
and shrubs.
CITY Must BE Clean.
"To attain the city beautituI We
must first have the city clean lts
Z-aI1Ie from a commercial standpoint as
well as from that of the homekeeper
cannot be overestimated. The clean
CITY means a saving to the housewife
ana to the storekeeper, less wear ana
tear on furnishings and merchano lse,
less illness, thus reducing the cost OF
lfying. Well kept parks and play
