lish gentleman who has lived a part
Of the year in this city for many
years celebrated his eighty-first birth
day recently. Howard W. Wood sent
to him that day the following poem
which is copied from St. Johns parish
paper, Church Life:
When am eighty-one,
long to stay as young as you;
hope I'll find the good to do,
And finding it, I'll do 1t too.
And get my pleasure, just like you
In doing the good that may 90;
So when I'm nearing eighty-two
must be young, for look at you
When you are eighty.one!

Group BUILDING Plan.

A special feature OF the building at
what Is known as The Gardens" a
section Of Philadelphia. Is the so-called
group building" plan. This plan makes
II possible to buy a house OF superior
construction and enduring value for
lower price because OF its being either
semidetached or one Of a group Of
three. four. six. eight or ten houses set
CONTINUOUSLY In q row. These groups
and rows add greatly TO the beauty and
variety Of the building scheme. They
have been planned so as to conform to
land and road contours and are OF diff.
ferent sizes and prices. with varying
interior arrangements and architec-
tural treatment. For instance. houses
may be sold for less money than q de-
tached house on a larger plot. but the
group house purchaser has the same
advantages In construction, and rich
ness and variety In the architectural
treatment Of the block unit, not pos
sible with the smaller exterior surface
OF a detached house. That this novel
building feature has been appreciated
is shown by the fact that the group
houses have been eagerly bought.

SYSTEM OF CITY BUILDING
Practically the Same Principles Should
BE Applied a. In Commercial
Development

An important session OF the conven-
ton OF the American Civic association
at Washington Was that devoted to city
planning. with Mr.. John Nolen OF Cam
bridge. Mass, vice-president OF the as
ISOLATION, presiding. In introducing
the subject. Mr.. Nolen said:
"The subject allotted for this session

association very little explanation. be-
cause It strikes at the root Of so many
Of our civic problems. think that II
10 true that all successful enterprises
OF magnitude have been planned enter
prfses: they have not come about by
chance. In city planning We recognize
that millions OF dollars In money and
many things more precious than
money have been wasted because OF
lack OF plan. Our streets. our parks.
our recreation spaces. our houses and
homes. give ample evidence OF all OF
this. The first step. It would seem. to
ward the solution OF our social and In
dustrial problems Is . comprehensive
plan. We need transportation plans to
solve our transportation problems; we
need q zone plan to district our cities,
to give stability to land values and to
protect districts: we need an indus
trial district plan In order to give en-.
cheney to industry. and We need q plan
for homes for the workers because.
without Q plan. there 10 not the slight
est prospect that they will be properly
housed. Commercial efficiency rests
upon rapid and cheap transportation
Of merchandise: upon the proper loca-
ton of water and rail terminals and
facilities: upon distributing routes:
and upon contented people In good
homes with Fairgrounds"
