arrival. so the drawing was never made, but a
chill that he caught on this journey laid the foun'
dations Of the illness which eventually carried
him off. The town hall of Middelburg and its
fine tower were new buildings when he saw them
The town hall and tower of We're were some
forty years older, having been built about l41O
by A. KeldeImans the elder, though the statues
on the facade were not added till after Durers
visit. Unfortunately the surviving pages of his
sketch-book contain no drawings of these places
There is, indeed, on one page the complicated
top of some tower, unnamed, the highest member
of which is like that of We're, but the rest is
different. Durer was evidently entertained by
these fantastic steeples and several of them ap-
pear in his sketches. In the nature of things,
however, such light wooden structures as
crowned the towers of the low countries were
not so durable as the stone substructures. Some
have persisted by fire, others have lost their open
work decorations, others have had to be repaired
in various degrees, and repair has generally
meant simplifcation. The tower of We're, how
ever, was apparently never very elaborate, and
probably remains much as it was originally built
Four-square and plain below, the stone portion is
completed with a clock chamber, strengthened
at the corners. Then comes a balustraded bell
chamber, with a Dubbed spire for roof to it, of
unusually slender and graceful proportions. Little
imitation dormer windows were a common deco
rative detail on these bulbs, but on We're spire
they are reduced to the roofs Of them only. These
and the Gothic crochets higher up are the only
medieval elements surviving in this tower.
The town hall below contains a treasure GER
tanly worth seeing, for lovers of fine goldsmith's
work worth going to see-an admirable CLASH
fcation of Sights" which we owe to the common
sense of Doctor Johnson. How useful a guide
book to Europe, confined to the things worth
going to see," would be when peace returns,
though a real peace in a once more friendly world
is hardly to be looked for in the days of any but
the young. The treasure at We're is a magnih.
cent goblet. richly enameled and chased, which
the townsfolk caused to be made for, and pre-
sented to, the Emperor Macmillan.
How they managed to have both the prestige
of giving it and the solid satisfaction of keeping
it is not recorded in any books to which | have
access. At all events, there it remains-a very
handsome example of a fine period of art In the
low countries. We're also possesses a fourteenth
century church, once in ruins but now repaired
also some remarkable old houses, a fountain o
1851 and other agreeable remains. On the Who'll,

Sims That Save.

A decided decrease in the number
of traffic accidents is reported from
Portland, Ore, since the installation
there Of a comprehensive system Of
warning signs. The signs consist of
red steel dials IS inches in diameter
mounted on steel rods sunk three feet
in concrete at the curbs and standing
eight feet deep on the top of the dial.
The dials are painted Eight red with
black letters, and read: School, Care

The signs are set in pairs about 100
feet from the danger point and in all
street directions from it, and are SO
placed that the street lights will shine
upon them at night. Portland has a
population of about 10000 greater
than Rochester, and embraces more
than twice the area of this city

COMMUNITY PRIDE AN ASSET
The Town That Cares for It's General
Appearance Is the Town That
Will Prosper.

Community pride is an asset, and it
is one of the greatest Of all assets.
The town that improves its streets,
cleans up the alleys, paints the houses,
cuts the grass, rakes the lawns and
plants its flowers is not only encour-
aging cleanliness, but is making for
itself a name among the peoples of
the outer world.
Commercial travellers and others
come, and look, and go away and talk
and the talk is all in favor Of the
town and its people.
Talk travels. and grows, and null
tiplies until the town becomes known
in many climes for its cleanliness and
progressiveness.
In time other men who are looking
for a change of location hear of this
town-and then they go, and look, and
talk, and are pleased, and it becomes,
their home.
And the town continues to expand
and progress, and as the years roll by,
it gradually assumes larger proper
tons and a more commanding and.
dominating position in the world.
When Community Pride m in,
Prosperity enters by its side, and the,
two become the mighty levers that
control the machinery of success.
Personal Pride and Community.
Pride should march side by side, for
when these two potent factors join
hands in a laudable purpose opposi-
ton quickly melts away.-Laredo

TOWN PLANNING IN AUSTRALIA.
Antipodeans Show Wise Interest I'M
Subject and Profit by Experience
of older Countries.

Australians are showing a wise in
terest in the subject of town planning
and housing in general. The troublel
with older countries has been that
they have not begun to think much
about improving housing ~conditionsl
until housing conditions have got to
be insufferably bad. Australia, being
a young country, should be able to-
profit by the unfortunate example of
other countries, and it is apparent that
Australia is striving to do this.

devotes much space to this subject. AL

association recognizes. Settled evils
