CITIES BUILT TO ORDER
By Frederic J. Haskin

Those who hold that new towns
should be laid down with an intelli-
gent appreciation of the possibilities
of their developing into great cities of
the future, that provision should be
made for order and convenience as a
substitute for chance and chaos such
as exist in the average city plan, have
this year been furnished with two
ideal working models. Two towns on
the map have been preconceived and
created along lines that provide for
model municipalities of the future.
These towns are Anchorage, in
Alaska, and Hopewell, in Virginia.
They are not mere collections of slab
sided shantieS such as were thrown
together in the cities of mushroom
growth a generation ago. They are
modern, well organized communities,
LAID out after definite, preconceived
plan in which the future needs of a
municipality have been we'll consid-
cred.
Anchorage is the youngest city in
Uncle Sans domain, if not in the
whole world. 1t has sprung up since
April 10, the date of the approval by
the President of the route of the
Alaskan railroad. Anchorage will be
the southwestern or tidewater ter
minal of the new railroad and is ex-
pected to become the metropolis of
that part of the world.
1t is less than six months since a
post office was established. The town
then boasted but three shanties and a
couple of supply shacks. Now its
population closely approXimates 5000.
It has a score of commercial estab-
lishments approaching the department
store type, jewelry stores, shoe stores,
fish, meat and produce markets, lum-
ber yards, barber shops. laundries,
moving picture theaters and telephone
exchanges. 1t has a wide-awake news
paper. which printed its first edition
from the shelter of a canvas tent, and
any number of live, hustling real es-
tate agents.
The United States Land Office com.
pleted the survey of Anchorage only

The Searchlight
PLANT OR ANINIAL2

The distinctions between plant and
animal organisms are supposed to be
clearly defined and easily recognizable.
Yet a tiny creature is now puzzling
scientists, which possesses the lead
ing characteristics of both. 1t is
known as Volox globator. Some
claim it is neither a plant or an ami
NAL. Others claim it is both-a con-
dition which sounds truly impossible.
The strange little being lives in
fresh water, assembled in globe-like
clusters or colonies. Each individual
organism has vibratory ella or flag
ella which enable the colony COM
posed of several thousand to move as
one body.
Reproduction is both sexual, as in
animals, and sexual as in cryptoga-
nous plans, so VoloX globator is
claimed by both the botanist and the
zoologist. 1t is a microscopic organ
ism of no known value or use, but
these facts do not detract from its
interest to the scientist.

THE NAVAL PROGRAM
NIGNs are not lacking that Pres

NIGNS are not lacking that Presi-
dent Wilson is to meet opposition
within his own party in the en-
actment of the naval and military
program he will lay before Congress
at the coming session. Congressman
Kitchin, Democratic floor leader, has
announced that he opposes the build
ing of more battleships but favors
submarines. Other Democrats have
other preferences in the way of arma-
'ment and still others oppose the whole
idea of preparedness" on the ground
that it will interfere with what they
regard as their legitimate share of
government pork"
Kitchin sets himself up in the face
of Admiral Dewey who recommends
four battleships year. but he may be
somewhat Modified by that part of the
Presidents program which calls for
the construction of sixty submarines
of the most approved type within the
coming twelve months. He, does not
appear to realize that little navy is
far more costly than a big navy, for
the reason that to be worth anything
a navy must be able to meet success
fully the emergency for which 1t is
designed. A little navy would be
blotted out by a superior force in a
short time, not only leaving the coun-
try unprotected but standing as a total
loss to the nation of expenditure in
dollars and cents, whereas a big
navy might stand unimpaired in eff
cheney through even serious conflict,
serve its purpose of insuring the land
against invasion and justify the ex-
penditure of the vast sums necessary
to create it. Better no navy than one
we know in our hearts would not be
able to meet any armed force that
might be sent against it.
1t would be remarkable indeed If
The President had to look to the Re
publican party for support in his ef-
forts to put the nation on a fighting
basis. but by no means surprising.
One and all leading Republicans are
behind the plan for preparedness and
they can be counted upon to support
any reasonable policy to increase the
efficiency of both army and navy. Mr..
Kitchin is heading toward personal
oblivion and the surrender or his
leadership and toward disaster for his
party if 1t follows him.

AMERICAN TRUCKS IN FRANCE

w. F. Bradley describes in The Com
m9ereiai mere Vehicle the shipping to France
trucks. At the time of his writing. the
trucks were on the piers at Havre or
in French military depots, but were
places within sound of big guns, IL not
within their actual range. Apart from
the significance of this shipment as an
incident of the war. Mr.. Bradley found
further and perhaps deeper meaning
In the fact that these We're the first
American trucks which had ever run on
French roads. Except for the exist
ence of war, they would never have
gained admission to France because of
French prejudices and the French
tarln. once they reached France
however, they were likely to serve an
excellent purpose in dispelling French
distrust of American trucks, and hence
promised to lead to further shipments
after the war.

THE PROGRESS OF THE FRENCH

THE PROGRESS OF THE FRENCH
NEWS comes from Paris that
IN French war horses will soon be
painted a color designated as
horizon blue" which is calculated to
render them inconspicuous at a dis
tance. The French have thoroughly
Investigated all the best methods of
dyeing and have discovered that the
horizon blue merges most completely
with the sky line. 1t is characteristic
of the way in which the French have
been quietly but effectively organizing
and is a remarkable contrast to their
condition at the beginning of the war,
when they were forced to go into the
field with dark blue tunics and red
is now used for both horses and men,
and is an attractive color to look upon.
Permanganate of potash was first
tried by the war department, follow
ing the discovery of DIR. Lepinay, of
the Society of Comparative Pathology,
that this solution would make the
horses nearly invisible at a moderate
distance. 1t was found, however, that
this irritated the horses, so a special
mixture of methylene with tannin
was tried and proved satisfactory.
Care must be taken in applying it to
the horses side. but once coated with
it, the horse is as good as covered
with the magic invisible cloak of
mythical fame for lengthy period.
Those who have read Richard
Harding Davis war zone observations
may conclude that the French have
seen the German invisible blue" uni
form and have gone it one better.

Romper Day has come and gone-aside
from Christmas and the Fourth of July
the biggest holiday of the year for the
children of Harrisburg. 1t marks the
milestone between the vacation and the
long stretch of school life beyond. Much
of the success of the celebration is due
to the continued generosity of Samuel
Kunkel. without his entertainment at
luncheon the day would lose much of
its zest. The boys and girls look upon
him as their patron saint. He deserves
as much pleasure in giving as the little
folks have in receiving-which is say
ing very much indeed.

MALIGNING THE GOVERNOR

T<HAT type of political reforme
who never sees any good in a
candidate for public office who
is not of his own selection is con-
spicuous just now through his alleged
concern for the dear people of Phila-
delphia where the choice of a MAYOR
is now uppermost in the public mind.
Because Governor Brumbaugh mas
manifested some interest in the stu
alton on the Republican side he is
being denounced as a boss and gen
orally dangerous person, notwith-
standing this message which he, en-
route to the Pacific coast sent to the
Republican chairman in Philadelphia:
The paramount consideration to
my mind is to nominate and elect a
Mayor who will give to Philadel-
phia a capable and conscientious
administration and who is a loyal
supporter OF national Republican
principles, who should be a man of
unquestioned integrity, with vision
and courage, who Will know no
pie of Philadelphia, and who viii
allow no man or group of men, no
faction or combination of factions,
to influence his actions as Mayor.
who should be a true and active
friend of our great industries and
do his utmost to make Philadelphia
what her industrial leaders and
workers and other good citizens
desire her to be.
He should always act openly and
impartally. He should love .the
city so well that he will always
strive for her good and decry her
false friends and her open enemies
/ have no candidate. The people
unhampered should choose their
Mayor. If their choice is an APP
pointiVe officer of the State Govern
ment, while should regret to lose
his services, 1 would not selhshly
oppose such a choice.
Urge all Republicans to take a
lofty view of the situation and, lay-
ing aside all considerations, do the
thing that is worthy of the great
city of Philadelphia.
What more or less could the Gov.
ernor have said regarding the selec.
ton of the chief magistrate of the
metropolis of the State? OF coura.
his motive will be questioned by the
so-called reform element, but the fair.
minded people of Pennsylvania arc
not going to be further deceived by
the pretense of Righteousness and un.
selfishness that has characterized the
so-called reform campaigns of recen
years.

The State From Day to Day

We are reminded by the Wilkes
Barre Record that September 6 marks
the birthday of General Lafayette. II
also comments on the fact that had
it not been for his aid and influence
the outcome of American independ-
ence might not have been the same.
The general had nine first names, with
all due respect to his memory.
1t is fitting to print at this time
perhaps, the views Of correspondent
OF the Williamsport Gazette and Bull
letin, as to the sort of men who should
not be chosen for city councilmen. He
says:-
Avoid men with hobbies.
Avoid men with no personality,
Avoid men lacking strong personal
will.
Avoid men courting favor.
Avoid men seeking notoriety.
Avoid victims of fiattery.
