How to Keen a CITY Clean.

To make a city cleaner and heater
and to substitute beauty for ugliness
is to enhance the value of both pub
lie and private property. AS to pub
lie property, this work can be easily
controlled But the city authorities
can be expected to act only on the in
sistence of the general public. I'm
fortunately, how ever, no matter how
careful a city miy be about structures
erected on public property, the gen.
eral effect of street and open places
may be spoiled by ugliness in sur
rounding structures and private prop
erty. Billboards, signs, ugly, garish
or unkempt buildings, buildings out OF
repair, untidy yards and vacant lots
all may counterfeit whatever the city
may do to make public property at.
tractive. The only way to keep the
city neat and to make it look as
though it were really self-respecting
is for all citizens to cooperate in in
sisting on private as well as public
neatness and attention to good design.

While f1reproof qualities and perma-
hence of materials are items appar-
emily increasing the cost of the new
house, the home-builder will find in
the end that economy lies in these
qualities; and applying the old adage
of the chain, his house will be as last
ing as its weakest part.
Hence the ratio between the life Of
different materials should be consid-
cred and permanence in the walls Of a
building should be duplicated in its
foundations and roof. AS for instance:
a house of brick to be consistently
permanent, requires concrete or stone
foundation, and slate roof.
The depreciation of a house Of this
type is said to be about per cent At
year, reckoning its life to be 100
years.
But the permanency of materials Is
not restricted to brick alone, and that
frame houses can be constructed to
last 100 years, though not immune of
course from the accident Of fire, is typ
flied in the numerous frame houses of
historical interest standing in a state
of good preservation throughout the
country.
Among these are the old Gushing
house at Higham, Mass, built in the
early part of the eighteenth century;
the Wadsworth house in Cambridge,
built in 1928, and the Fairbanks house
in Dedham, probably the oldest house
in America, built about 1886.
White pine was used extensively in
these houses, which fact is testimony
to the lasting qualities of that wood.

FAULT IN CITY PLANNING
Standardization of Streets Can Be Car
ried to Excess, as California Jour-
nalist Points Out.

One of the greatest follies practiced
in modern city-building, particularly
where the topography is broken in
character, lies in standardization of
streets, more especially regarding the
width, says the Los Angeles Times.
The writer lives on Gross street."
that is, one crossing at right angles
main thoroughfare - Avenue Sixty
four-that carries at least several
hundred times as much traffic as the
one first noted, yet the widths of the
two are the same. The one is three
blocks long, blind at each end, hav-
ing no possibility of direct outlet
at either extremity. The other is the
main highway from Los Angeles to
Pasadena by way of Colorado street,
and to Eagle Rock by the same feed
err"
There is no question but a greater
width is needed on Avenue Sixty-four,
as is the case with scores of streets
similarly situated. 1t is equally GER
tain that the crossing streets are
twice as wide as need be. The miser-
able parkways are but AZ inches wide,
an area so restricted that good street
tree growth is impossible. Every
property owner with whom the writer
has talked on the subject would be
pleased to have several feet on each
side added to the parkway, yet major
ity does not rule, even in Los Angeles.
No fic fr OF &c
cept the daily routine of the milk.
man, baker and vegetable peddler.
Yet the width is the same as that of
the one great highway running
through the district.
The case cited is used merely be-
cause the writer has intimate personal
acquaintance with it, having resided
on this specific street for ten years.
No personal grievance inspired this
article, for the residents on the street
have never sought to have it changed.
All concede a widening of parkings,
with correspondingly narrower
driveway, would make more beauti-
full street, give it a more pleasant as
pect, allow of fine parkway gardening,
etc. But did they know that when the
street is to be paved the cost of the
useless strips of width in paving
would pay for the change and new
curbs, they might petition the prop
er officials to make such change. AS
all streets are of The same width, and
all at right angles as we'll, the plan
ming and plating of such districts may
safely be turned over to our children.
And some of the latter would be bet
ter than their parents.

LEGAL Day of Rest,

The New York court of appeals has
given a decision sustaining the one
day-rest-in-seven" law that meets the
strong approval Of progressively
minded citizens. The following SEN
fences are worth quoting: I'VE have
no power of decision of the question
whether it is the wisest and best way
to Offset these conditions and to give
employees the protection which they
need, even If we had any doubt on
that subject. Our only inquiry must
be whether the provision on its face
seems reasonable, fair and appropri-
ate, and whether it can fairly be be-
lieved that its natural consequences
will be in the direction of the better
ment of public health and welfare
and therefore that it is one which the
state for its protection and advantage
may enact and enforce Chicago Eve

CONSUMPTION oE ALCOHOL.

That the use Of beer and wines does
not tend to decrease the consumption
of strong liquors, is shown by Gabriel
son, Swedish statistician who has
published the results Of his re-
searches. The figures are for the Pc
riod 1906-1910.
France consumes more than three
times as much alcohol per capita as
the United States, due to its general
use of wine. Italy consumes nearly
three times as much, Spain twice as
much, Greece twice as much, Switzer-
land twice as much, Portugal nearly
twice as much. Belgium consumes
considerably more alcohol, although
it is one of the leading beer countries.
In Germany 40 per cent of the total
drink consumption is of spirits, while
in the United States more than 55
per cent of the total drink consumption
is beer, which seems to indicate that
the Germans, despite their beer preju-
dices, use considerably more spirits
per capita than the United States.
