SATELLITE CITIES. ;"


 By Graham R. Taylor. Illustrated. D. Ap- pleton & Co.,, publishers, New York.
 Congestion, with all that it means in cvhocked streets dark workrooms, and high taxes, has been forcing factories to our city limits and beyond Indus try must seek the city's edge. The civic problems which have arisen because of this condition have been the subject of much study and investigation by the author and in this volume he points out the serious consequences which would re- suit from continued disregard of this important feature of our civic and social life and deals with the opportunities for community development in accordance with the new science of town planning. Various towns and cities, such as Pull man, Granite City, Gary, and Fairfield, started by industrial establishments in the vicinity of large cities are discussed in detail-the history of their foundation, their management, and the reasons for resulting success or failure. Because of it's readable style the book will be of interest not only to those immediately concerned in civic development, but also to those who are interested in what others are accomplishing in this particu- lar field of endeayor.

the officer the laugh or curt remark.
Be gentle with an officer and there will
be more flowers and not so many thistles
along the way. A few days ago the
proprietor of pool hall at Marinette
was warned by the chief of police that
he should not use the American flag to
advertise his business. The Marinette
man laughed at the officer and the re-
suit was fine of $40 and costs. There
is law against using the flag in ad-
vertising and the Marinette man
thought he knew more than the police
man. Only recently youth in Bara-
boo became sarcastic when policeman
attempted to show him the right way
and this led to fine; and an Iowa man
at Devils Lake placed himself above
those in authority which resulted in his
arrest When an officer approaches,
look pleasant and you will be happier
than the pied piper of Hamelin.

The people of Europe often criticise
the reckless railroading, careless steam
ship travel and botchy building in
America. Many lives have been lost in
railroad wrecks where safety was not
the first element, many have found a
wateryIIgrave because the craft was
weak and public buildings have became
a vast tomb because they were not
fireproof. The railroads have made
great advancement in conserving life
by the daily preaching of the doctrine
of Safety First but there remains
many buildings and water craft which
daily endanger lives. The rolling over
of the Eastland in the Chicago river
brings out the fact there was faulty
government inspection, that the own
ers were permitted to use craft that
WAS uOL Sale. Vucu a COEpUI6LlO0
owns a boat or building it takes a
strong man to stand between dollars
and death but often dollars win in the
desire for more dollars and death is the
victor. In many cases those really
responsible escape but in the Chicago
case it is presumed the blame will rest
where the blame ought to be. 1t is
true the owners have lost their proper
ty but this is not sufficient where there
is such wholesale slaughter, especially
after warnings had been given. Dollars
above death is serious business and
inspectors of boats and buildings, where
many people are liable to congregate,
should hew to the line.

Knocking

Put the hammer in the locker;
Hide the sounding board likewise;
Anyone can be a knocker;
Anyone can criticise.
Cultivate a manner winning,
Though it hurts your face to smile
And seems awkward in beginning
Be booster for a while.
Let the blacksmith do the pounding;
That's the way he draws his pay.
You don't get cent for bounding
Saint and sinner, night and day.
Just for solid satisfaction
Drop kind word in the slot.
And I'll warrant you'll get action
On your effort on the spot
Kindness every time beats kicking;
Mirth is better than a frown;
Do not waste your time in picking
Flaws with brothers who are down.
And it isn't 80 distressing
If you give little boost
To the man the fates are pressing
When the chicks come home to roost.

Burning Up Money

Your Uncle Sam'l has quite bunch

lions of men and some few women spent

Many people have been out of work

going right along entirely undisturbed

Despite the great anti cigarette
fight that has been in the United States,

TIE DEATH off. 8. Tripp.
The death of Hon j. S. Trip re-
moves from Prairie gdu Sac and Sank
county citizen of the first rank. He
came from New York to Wisconsin
with that host Of pioneers which
brought so much of worth and stead
fastness. When one looks about today
and sees so many young men whizzing
past in automobiles, on motorcycles and
on trains, there comes a thought
whether or not this generation has the
pause and steadfastness of those who
lived fifty years ago. 1t is hoped they
have. Mr.. Trip had all the elements
that made him every inch a man. He
was cultured, was imbued with integ-
rity and liberal to the community where
he resided. In his home village he
erected town hall and library of which
any community would be gratified and
at the time of his death his name
was on every lip with sadness. What
more could life purchase? His name
will long be remembered in the COM
munity where he lived and labored.

David Grayson, writing his story
"Hemp6eld' in the August American

tistic natures:
Every artistic nature sooner or
later meets some such irretrie7able hu-
man experience. 1t asks only to see life,
to look on, to enjoy. But.one day this
artistic nature makes the astonishing
discovery that nature plays no favorites,
that life is, after all, horribly concrete,
democratic, little given to polite dis
elimination, and it gets itself suddenly
taken seriously, literally, and dragged
by the heels into the CRIME and COM
