Fashions In City Making

Odd how cities problems and troubles are alike all,
over .the land New York and FL Paso are having
the same public school troubles; New York and Oakland
California, are both worrying out a zone plan to
save certain districts from changing over to other uses:
the same traffic questions arise in every town with
crowded streets; every city IN the land is irving to
buiId a bg high school with a stadium; civ bosnitals
east and west. north and south have about the same
history.
One bunch of $4,000 people is very much like any
other bunch of $4,000, has about the same needs ard
the same ideas about city water plants and &c car
fares. In any big city a few will be for graft and a
few will be for bad water and a few will be for super-
pure water and many will be Indifferent; but lust whv
so many cities in the same year should have essayed to
experiment with the Gary system, and whv sof manv
cities this year have to erect the biggest handsomest
possible high school, always with a stadium. and whv
so suddenly so many cities should come to the "zoner
idea, can only be explained by psychology or by fashion.
It seems very like the changing of fashions.

that he was the biggest, boldest, baddest thing that
that she had saved up against the doctors bill or her

KEEPS SHARP EYE
Increasing Lotteries Abrosd Require
Watching to Keep Advertise
ments Out Of This Country.

Washington. Jan. is.-Increase In
the number OF government lotteries
abroad as the war drags itself out Is
forcing United States postal author
tiles to be especially watchtul to
prevent their advertisements In this
country. The lotteries are given pub
licity In the United States In two
ways. II was said at the postoffice de-
partment today. Individual letters

side they do not present a suspicious
appearance. All the suspected letters
are diverted and opened.
With news stories the department
does not find Il so easy to deal The
solicitors office OF the department
holds that any news story advsrtis'
ing a lottery must be barred from the
mails. Under the departments ruins
this means any story giving publicity
TO a lottery. II does not have to be
a paid advertisement.
Many news stories OF European lot
teries have been printed recently, the
department says. which approach
closely violation OF the law. A
story that mentions the name OF
winner or winners OF lottery Is held
10 be a distinct violation. A story
too. that might be expected to attract
such attention to lottery that read
ers would investigate is held to be
violation.
A section OF the law quoted by the
department reads:
NO newspaper. circular. pamphle
or publication OF any kind containing
any advertisement OF any lottery. gif

LIQUOR
FROM INDIANS
indian Commissioners Cato Sells Tells
Of Government Fight to Stop
It's Sale.

Washington. Jan. IA dramatic
story OF the governments fight to
stop the sale OF liquor to indians is
outlined by Cato Sells. commissioner
OF Indian affairs So well have the
efforts OF the Indian service succeed
ed. he said. that the traffic virtually
has been broken up.
Not only has the government cut
the sale OF liquor TO Indians on reser.
yations and elsewhere. but In one In
stance II has made fifth OF a state
dry through enforcement OF a sixty
year-old treaty. Older treaties are
being studied now to determine II
saloons In other territory partly pop
ulated by Indians can be closed.
Minnesota Is the state In which a
vast area was freed OF saloons by
treaty enforcement. The agreement
revived by the government Is known
as the Chippewa treaty OF 1855. For
many years It's provisions regarding
the sale OF whisky had been forgotten
until one day last summer II was dis
covered In the indian bureau here
that the convention was a perpetual
bar to the sale OF intoxicants In North
west Minnesota.
Indian officials determined to en-.
force the treaty and began. too. the
study OF similar agreements In other
states. On Oct. 20 last an order went
forth that saloons In several OF the
larger towns in the territory must
close within ten days. Liquor deal.
srs refused to close and took the fight
into the courts. where II has just been
decided that the treaty provisions still
are in force.
indian officials say the Indian him
self first realized that alcohol was a
menace to the race and that in the
Minnesota treaty as well as In most
OF the other Indian treaties. the In
dian and not the white man stipulated
that intoxicants should not be sold in
Indian territory.
In other parts OF the country OF.
ficials charged with enforcement o.
laws against sale OF whisky to Indi.
ans worked through court action. Sew.
eral officers were killed.
An educational campaign against
the use OF alcohol. Indian officials de.
clare. did much for the enforcement
OF laws. A pledge-signing campaign
also was an aid. Education Of the In.
dian against drink was undertaken
through the schools. where students
were interested In essay writing con
tests.
While investigating treaty arrange
ments Indian officials discovered a
forgotten law permitting the govern
ment to hold up annuity payments in
regions where liquor was within easy
reach OF Indians. This. officials as
sert. was one OF the most fruitful
methods tried. Payments were stop

bulletin 7ss. Suggestions for Parcel
Post Marketing" This bulletin. In
addition to explaining the postal rates
and measurement limits for parcel
post matter. discusses In some detail
the types OF containers which are
most successful and the methods OF
grading and packing produce, so that
Il will reach the consumer In good
condition and be attractive In quality
and appearance. In treating stand
ards for parcel post shipments. the
bulletin tells how TO select. handle
and pack poultry. and how to grade
and pack the various fruits and vege-
tables which the average farmer Is
likely to market through the postof.
flee.
The bulletin points out that one o.
the common obstacles TO establishing
parcel post communication between
farmer and consumer Is that the
farmer may be unwilling to offer
goods at price which attracts the
customer. or that the consumer may
offer price lower than the farmer
can obtain at a local market. To
quote the bulletin:
/ Not only must the farmer have
something additional TO the usual
price to compensate him for the extra
work. container and postage required,
but the consumer must also have
something to attract him TO marketins
, by parcel post. In determining what
the price shall be. both the farm price
and the retail price paid by the con
sumer when he markets In the ordi
nary way should be taken into con
| alteration. The consumer must re
ceive either better article at this
usual retail price or an article OF tbs
grade usually purchased at some con
cession In price.
1T Is probable that the point which
will make the strongest appeal to thu
average consumer 10 that he can Sc
cure by parcel post a fresher. bright
er, more attractive and thus possibl,
a better product than he can Obtain
otherwise.
THE average producer, as a rule
does not realize the importance OF an
pearance as a factor In selling good
and frequently is careless and indii
ferent in preparing produce for maj
ket. The consumer. on the othe
hand. relies very largely upon appear
ance in selecting food supplies. an
unattractivei articles are passed b

"a personal acquaintance should b
