Peerless Geneva.

The most glowing tribute to Geneva
Is Frederic Harrison's. II hold Zu-
rich, Basel and Geneva. to be the
model cities Of our age-the fine type
OF what cities viii one day be In re-
generated age-the true type Of civic
organization, having site Of rare beau
ty and convenience, spacious streets
and avenues, noble public walks and
gardens. perhaps everything short Of
grand antique buildings" Geneva in
particular Is ''the finest type Of ra-
tional city that Europe possesses = >
true city where. as in Athens,
Florence, Venice, Antwerp or Client,
I of old, men can live wholesome civic
life, not In huge, amorphous caravan
series, such as London, Paris or Ber-
lin not in suffumigated barracks, such
as Manchester or Lyons or Glasgow
but in a beautiful, well ordered, free,
organic city"

Details.

Details are something beneath the
notice of the majority. It requires a
rare sort of mind to accord to them
the proper Importance.
1t is necessary for every great artist to
understand "details In order that he may
know when they should be ignored.
CULVER discovered this interesting fact
when he woke up one morning. The
perfection of any masterpiece depends
upon the strategic elimination Of its
details
Those who see only those things
which lie between the little and the
great see neither Of these. It requires
the same capacity of Imagination to
master details that it does to master
immensities. To see big one must also
be able to see little.
Controlling events means controlling
details.
Nothing succeeds like details. Life.

baskets he played Tooele's best
man and kept him at every lump

Bates and John Bailey played a
great defensive game. Farley
was aggressive and always in the
game, Leo played cautiously and
