mems clubs snd social organizations,
the commercial organizations is the
one above all others which is peculi-
arly suited to undertake city plan
ming work. This is because city
planning is directly connected with
the industrial and commercial work,
which is the reason for the exist
ence Of the chamber of commerce.
A great NOV ment for city plan
ming has spread over the country
within the past few years and the
same business forethought is being
applied to the community that the
successful business man is applying
to his own affairs. If city planning
in America is going to proceed along
permanently satisfactory lines it will
be because the chambers of COM
merce have promoted it and backed
it. The commercial organizations
have a great civic duty before them
in directing and promoting the
healthy and reasonable growth of
our cities.

DUTIES OF WOMANHOOD

About ten years ago, when a high
school for girls was opened in Il
ramshackIe building located on the
border of the East Side, in New
York City, the first step was taken
in the development of educational
ideals and methods which at that
time were nothing less than revo-
lutiOnary. In the meantime this in
stitution, because it meets a real
educational need, has grown won
derfuIly. 1t is now known as the
Washington Irving High School. 1t
is housed in its own school building,
which is one of the largest and best
equipped in the world. 1t is a true
high school, with the usual curricula.
but it has one feature that dis
tinguishes it from most institutions
Of its kind. Its special work is that
of training girls to take their proper
place in life as women. and all other
features, academic and otherwise.

interesting views illustrating the
work of this school appear in the

zine.

The performance given by the

The Funny Moon" at Brier's Hail
Monday night, was one of the best

Every member of the company

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
AND CITY PLANNING

The various phases of the develop
ment of a community can be grouped
under four heads: Industries, city
planning, administration and social
welfare. 1t is obvious that the first
work of the chamber of commerce
is along industrial and commercial
lines. After the industrial work it
will be seen that city planning is
the next most important work for
the commercial organization to take
up, because city planning. in its
right Interpretation, is the making
of the city as a whole a better place
to live and work. One of its func-
tions is to provide attractions for in
dustry, business and labor so that
the community will have a prosper
Gus and satisfactory growth.
City planning is also directly con-
nected with chamber of commerce
work in making the community an
and desirable place to
live. 1t means providing better
housing, and better recreation facili-
ties, better markets, even making
the community more attractive in
the appearance of streets. parks,
buildings. etc.
Of all the organizations in a city,
civic organizations. churches, wo.

BULGARIA

Bulgarlans fought with valor brave
Against the Turks dominion;
Why should Bulgaria hide away
Like bird with broken pinion?
The fruits of many bloody field
Were basely stolen from her:
Now, let the guilty powers beware
Who smirched Bulgarian honor.
Seek not to buy US to your cause
BY protfered territory;
'Tis ours by right, ye bartering tribes
Hard won on fields of glory.
Fair Macedonia's soil once more
A reclaimed land shall be;
Shall greet the Bulgar veterans,
The Bulgar cOlors see.
And sad the fate of that poor state
That sought entente favor;
Not all the help they send to her
In men and ships can save her.
Then let Bulgaria S flag unfurl
From Sofas highest dome;
And rally to the colors, men,
For honor and for home.
Hark! to the tramp of marching feet
They sound DER hill, through dale;
Bulgaria bares her breast once more,
Bulgaria, hail! all hal

for proceeding without hesitation.
but is a fact Of little Importance.
Transportation capital wears out
faster perhaps than that in any other
industry. 1t will not be restored if
there is no adequate return to- it.
Either the nation must allow fair
return to private owners or must
expect to provide necessary trans
portation itself as it today provides
roads and pavements, by taxation.
To a policy of that kind there is a
very easily reached limit. Such a
subsidy burden would quickly de-
feat itself by becoming unbearabIe,
though unlimited harm would doubt
less be done in the course of the eX-
pertinent.
A striking remark made by a
member of the Interstate Commerce
Commission in his recent dissenting
opinion in the Western rate case is
significant on this topic The Com
missioner says that the public in
tercst demands a straightforward
facing of the question whether rail,
way rates are generally too low or
not. The carriers are, in fact, en-
titled to such an attitude on the
part of the Government and of the
nation that they may set their house
in order if the verdict is unfavor-
able. The public is entitled to it
that there may be no doubt who is
to pay and provide for transporta-
ton in the future. The situation
is rapidly becoming a matter of
broad national significance since the
maintenance of the view that trans
pOrtation is something akin to a
natural right. to be provided below
cost or perhaps absolutely free
means a radical readjus >ment of
our policy as well as with reference
to taxation at no distant day. The
adoption of the view that transpor-
tation is an expense of production
and that capital engaged in it is en-
titled to the same earnings as other
capital means an early cessation of
many current anti.railroad schemes
and revision of many methods of
regulation" now in vogue. Is
there any political group or party
possessed of sufficient foresight and
craftsmanship to deal broadly with
this issue at an early date? Failure
to deal with the subject soon will
merely defer, but not avoid, the
necessity of considering and dispos-
ing of the situation which is grow.

SUBMARINE "a"

After five months of practically
continuous work under extremely
trying conditions. the submarine
"F-4" which with a crew of %
men on board had failed to rise fol-
lowing a dive in water 300 feet
deep outside the harbor of Homo
lulu, was raised to the surface and
on August 30th was placed in dry
dock. The raising of this vessel is
by far the most remarkable feat in
ship raising ever accomplished, says
the November Popular Mechanics
Magazine. After the vessel had
been docked, an examination showed
two large holes, one at the bow and
the other at the stern, while the
bottom and the starboard were
found to be filled with sand, mud,
battery plates and other debris. At
that time no definite cause for the
disaster to the vessel could be dis
covered. There were indications,
however, that the crew had been
asphyXiated bv chlorine gas gener-
ated by the leakage of sea water
into the cells of the storage batter.
les, and that the holes in the hull
had been caused, after the death of
the crew, by the pounding of the
vessel on the sea bottom. A view
of the submarine after being raised
and placed in dry dock accompanies
the article, which fully describes the
difficulties encountered in the work
and the means employed to over
come them.

The high freight rates have another significance to the people of the Pacific Coast It explains in Q large measure why the foreign lumber market has re- mained in a state of collapse. The addition Of S25 Q thousand to the cost of lumber has nightly restrain ing influence upon the lumber demand. When people can build brick houses, wire fences and steel framing as cheap or cheaper than they can wood con strucve material the disposition is to get along with out the wood or postpone building.
 And there is yet another significance: High freight rates have the same relation to commerce that high tariffs have. When the people of the antipodes have

 But # we had twice as many ship yards. we could not build vessels fast enough to supply the demand for water carriers Nothing could be palmer than that the economic demands of the hour point uneriugly to the need for the United States to purchase the German ships that are nterned in American ports n that were permitted 55OOoO tons could be added to Americas shipping fleet in two weeks time. and the resultant effect would be wonderful in an lines of American com merce and industrial activity.
