NEEDS DIRECTION OF EXPERT
Advice Given by New York Times Is
Worth Consideration by Authori-
ties Of Other Cities.

Discussing the advisability of the
formation of body for the exclusive
purpose of developing plans for the Inn
proyement of the city the New York
Times says:
The eityplanning commission
should have in its permanent employ
a well-peid executive officer, who
should be an expert in city planning
and city maintenance, familiar net
only with domestic affairs, but thor
eHghly acquainted with all the various
phases OF European municipal under
takings. so that he may avoid as much
as possible experimental work at the
public expense. Such an expert must
be able to treat the subject freely on
Its merit. He should have no proper.
ty OF other interests in the city liable
to be affected, and he should have no
personal considerations that might
bend the plan to his own advantage.
as is likely To be the case Of plan
formulated by those put in Office by
local politicians.
The work of replanning a city like
New York involves so many and such
intricate features that il is undesir-
able to intrust it exclusively to local
municipal engineers and architects.
for however much experience they
may have in their own lines they will
be lacking in the special knowledge
that is necessary to make success
of city planning"

Character of Amberaris.

Ambergris, which is used as a basis
for much standard perfumery, was first
found, an unattraetive mass, floating
on the sea or lodged upon the shore.
How so unlikely a substance ever sug.
gested itself as a perfume is not
known, but it has been in use for cen
turtles. 1t is believed by some to be
the morbid secretion of the liver of
sperm whale. 1t is described as fatty
waxy substance, disagreeable to sight
and touch, but even in its crude state
exhaling pleasant odor The crude
substance is subjected to chemical ae.
ton to extract the active principle
called amberine.

Efficient City PLANNING.

It must not be understood that the
artistic effect has always been the
only aim in eity-planning schemes of
the old regime. There were excep-
tions, the most remarkable one being
the case of Berlin in the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries. when the
Prussian rulers practieed In very
efficient and far-sighted manner city
planning on an entirely social basis.
working with powerful hands for the
rapid opening and building up of wide
and healthful suburban areas, with
out negleeting the beauty of the CEN
trail district,
1t is largely due to this powerful
and advanced city planning that Ber-
lin, from a little medieval town of
5000 people, became one of the lead
ing capitals of Europe, with 100000
people at the beginning of the French
revolution. This social kind of city
planning, however, vas the exception,
and, with the entire change of the
Political situation caused by the
French revolution, the social tenden-
cies in city planning suffered the same
decline as artistic city planning all
over Europe.

HOLDING GARDEN TO MARK
Constant Attention to What Might Be
Considered Trifles viii Be
Found imperative.

One of the worlds greatest artists,
Michel Angelo. said perfection Is
made up of trifles. The rules of art,
so far as rules apply, bear the same
relation to every earthly activity,
whether It be sculpture or gardens.
Therefore. the perfect garden is one
where the planter has given, at some
time. attention To each little matter of
detail to see that 1t harmonizes with
the garden as a whole. Ii may not be
possible to deal with all at once, yet
in time the grand total may be Gov
cred and the sum of the little things
will constitute perfection. In order to
keep a garden up to high standard
II is not necessary to make many or
marked Changes at once, but deal with
each little problem as 1t arises. If a
plant dies. put in another at once Do
not wait for bigger job with sew
erai. Keep substitute plants always
ready.

Landslide On Northern
Endangers Passengers

Tacoma, Wash, Dec. 24.-Scores of
passengers on a train arriving from
Portland early today narrowly escaped
a disaster that might have resulted in
many losing their lives, when a great
mass of earth, loosened by recent
heavy rains, slid down the bluffs along
the Point Defiance line of the North
ern Pacific railroad a moment after
the train had passed, covering the
tracks to a depth of six feet. Another
train following the Portland passenger,
was stopped in time to prevent it
smashing into the debris.
The landslide occurred a short dis
tance south of the Ruston tunnel at a
point where the railroad tracks close
ly skirt the waters of Puget Sound.
The tracks are covered for a distance
of 800 yards with mud and rocks and
traffic will be diverted until the OBJ
struction is cleared away.
