NEW IDEAS ABOUT STREETS

Every now and then some one
starts asking troublesome "whys"
about things we always have been
in the habit of doing. Nothing
shocks us so much as to have some
one ask reasons for something
which always has been taken for
granted.
Nine persons out. of ten, would
willingly commit themselves to the
proposition that street ought to
he straight. We poke fun at cities
where the thoroughfares wander
about, and Pittsburgh and Boston
have suffered much from such ridi-
cule. Persons who have travelled
about Germany come back and COM
ment upon the "quaint, crooked"
streets of old German cities.
Now come along city planners
and discover that there was a rea-
son for the crookedness of those
streets, and more surprising still,
that the same justification exists for
crooked streets today. Frederick
Howe explained some of these re-
cent studies in his lecture before the
National Geographic Society.
The inhabitants of the old Rhine
cities built their streets in odd fash.
ion for a purpose. The cities were
easier to defend on that account.
Likewise the crooked streets were
warmer in winter, because the winds
could not sweep along them with
such force, and they were not so
dusty in summer for the same rea-
sons.
Had Mr.. Howe continued his
studies on this side of the water he
might have found that Lafayette, in
planning Washington. resorted tc
avenues, though not to crooked
streets, for one of these same rea'
sons. By means of avenues radiat'
ing from circles cannon could com
mand a sweep Of the streets ant
thus the city could be defended, ir
the warfare of that day, at .severa
points along every avenue of ap
proach.
Curiously enough the way ir
which Washington is laid out real
ICES another advantage of the crook
ed street, without it's disadvantages
In modern German cities these
crooked streets are regarded a!
more artistic because tho end of {

II is generally conceded that II the
Republicans are able to elect the Pres
ident a year hence. they will also carry

the politics or political geography Of
the country at this time to warrant cx-
pectation of a different outcome. The
Electoral College and the House are 80
divergence between them has come to
be accounted almost impossible.
With the Senate matters are other
wise. The Senate has always been
elects only onc-third OF its membership
each two years. whereas It Is possible
for the House to change Its entire MEM
bership In that period. The adoption
of the constitutional amendment that
established popular election OF Senators
has made the Senate somewhat more
responsive to popular currents: but in
asmuch as the popular disposition OF
the moment Is never able to reach more
than one-third OF the members. the
chance for a quick revolution In politi-
cal attitude OF the body is only one
third as good as in the House.
Al the election OF 1914 the Democrats
slightly increased their lead In the Sen.
ate. while they lost nearly all of their
ma jority In the House. II would not re-.

Making the Little
Farm Pay

Numerous inquiries are made by city
people who intend to take land and by
progressive farmers regarding the most
profitable crops.
Mixed farming is the most profitable
system either for small or large places.
This means variety Of crops and 9TH
er farm interests instead of single
crop such as corn, or a single interest
such as dairying, poultry keeping or
pork production.

or ten sources of income so that the
failure of one or more products would
not be ruinous. | offer these general
suggestions: Use a tenth Of the land
for fruit, a tenth for garden truck,
twentieth for poultry yard and range,
a fifth for grain, a fifth for cattle and
horse pasture, tenth for hog pasture,
a tenth for alfalfa, a tenth for root
crops and a twentieth for buildings
and yards.
In a farm of forty acres there would
be, according to this schedule, eight
acres of pasture, eight acres of grain,
four acres of tree and bush fruits,
