but in conjunction with the commits
sion form of government or modiica-
ton of that form we are slowly devel-

the profession of the city manager.

Restricting Home Streets.

Home streets should be sacred to
homes and they should be protected
from the invasion Of all kinds of bust
ness. The home is the climax of urban
activity, and it should never be sacri-
feed to commerce Or industry Of any
character. A city wounds itself when
1t harms a home. And SO there should
be regulations and ordinances to pro-
tect the homes against business. Bust
ness can take care of itself; the home
can't. A happy home, the most useful
n honorable thing in q community,
loses its high character II a shop OF
some kind is stuck up alongside of it.
Yes, it is necessary for a man to make
a living, but it is not right to make
other people unhappy in doing it. We
simply suggest that there is ample
room here for a salutary regulation

Habit of Being Happy.

Keeping oneself reasonably happy is
a duty that ought not to be shirked.
Science is telling us these days that to
get out of the habit of enjoyment is to
get depressed In vitality and vigor, to
weaken in efficiency, and grow old be-
fore ones time. There Is nothing like
laughter-nOt empty-headed laughter,
but the intelligent, wholesome, kindly
hearted kind-to keep people young
and fresh and fit for business and the
obligation of living. OF course, this is
n prescription not easy to live up to
always, but there is no reasonable ex-
cuse for not trying to do it. Sometimes
it is just about as easy to be happy
as to be miserable If one makes up his
mind to it, and there is no doubt at
all as to which pays the best.-On-
ward.

PLANNING FOR SMALL TOWNS
BY No Means Should Only the Large
Cities Be Laid Out With Scien-
tific Care.

Another bothersome misconception is
that city planning relates only to the
larger communities already great and
populous and prosperous, and Is not
needed, or at least is not available,
by the smaller places. 1t seems to be
the unconscious conclusion that 1t is
best to first make all the mistakes of
civic ignorance and community
thoughtlessness, and to yield as fully
as possible to the greed of special
privilege, in the thought that when the
town becomes really great, it can af-
ford to plan for convenience, practic-
ability and progress. The good people
who take this view remind me of an
acquaintance who considered the serv-
ices of an architect s%uperfluous for a
certain building he was having erected.
The carpenter had handled many build
ipgs-was he not good enough to see
that this simple structure was properly
put up? So the work proceeded, the
carpenter accepting and using the floor
plans of his customer without ques-
ton, and it was not until the building
vas under roof that the lack of pro-
vision for any stairway to the second
floor appeared. OF course, the final
cost of the revised house considerably
exceeded what it would have been had
the architect done his work and the
carpenter his. 1 know many towns
that pretty nearly lack a stairway, and
for just about the same reason.-Amer-
lean Civic Association.
