CITY LOOKING INTO FUTURE
SternIy Prohibited in Prosperous
California Town.

We have one city with sufficient
civic pride and backbone to say that
no billboards shall be erected within
her limits, and that one is Inglewood,
q small city with great hopes and am
billions. 1t already has civic center,
starting with five-block park system
thanked on one side by grammar
school and modern up-to-date high
school second to none, and on the 9TH
er side by city lands reserved for q
city hall, fire house, etc., that in time
will give Inglewood a centralized city
government of rare combination of
beauty, usefulness and economy In so
far as municipal plan is concerned.
More expenditure Is needed on the
park system and great improvement
could be made in the appearance Of
both building and grounds of the gram
mar school. With this granted, this
little city is well toward the head Of
the list in municipal improvements,
and when that new city hall is built
will outrank any place of like popu-
lation known to the writer. And she
is deserving of the greatest praise for
keeping out the offensive billboard,
which desecrates every landscape in
numbered with one. Here's to a city
council with the right sort of nerve

TOWN.
IS HELPS
"SLUMS" OUTSIDE OF CITIES
Country Districts May Have Their
Share if Proper Regulations Are
Not Observed.

When we read or hear of slums we
almost invariably think of the back,
crowded, dirty and perhaps wicked
districts in the large cities. 1t seems
that there are rural slums. When
the American Civic association held
it's convention it outlined a campaign
of attack on the rural slum as it eX-
lists both in the village and in the open
country. The campaign is part of
a wholly new movement for country
planning which is intended to supple
ment and strengthen the work of city
planning which the association has
been carrying on with success for some
years.
The civic associations information
department speaks of the rural slum
as if it were something newly dis
covered. 1t is true enough, as we al
ready have suggested, that most people
do not think of slums of having exist
! ence in the country, but that they are
no strangers there has been known
to some students of sociological con-
ditions for a long time.
There are rural slums to be found
in plenty in country districts where
good government" is supposed to rule
the day. Slums spring up about the
pens of the blind pigs" These places
are, perhaps, more of q menace to the
country youth than the slums Of a
city are to the city youth. Because
in some places there is a lack of more
wholesome attractions, the country boy
is, led to seek what he thinks are rec
reation and entertainment in the
plague places nearest at hand.-Chi-
cago Post.

give always cared" she told him
brokenly.
His heart leaped at that. And step
ping behind her quickly, he laid his
hands gently upon her two arms.
my love, my love-what a great
world it is when you're happy" he ex-
claimed. Just think! I'll get the IL
cense in the morning; we'll be married
in the afternoon and on our way to
Switzerland. l know the darlin' of a
place, right by rushing river, in the
very shadow Of the snow! And think
how young we are! We've fifty years
ahead Of us-fifty years of love and
happiness!. Just you and me, my dear!'
Captain Redmond kissed her hand
then.
She had listened to his rapid words
as if 1t were all a dream-some beauti-
full dream from which she suddenly
awoke to the stern reality Of life, with
its bitterness and its disappointment
| its disillusiOns and its heartaches.
Larry am married." she said
slowly.

Prizes Worth Winning.

The national Americanization COM
mittee is offering prizes aggregating
$1,000 for plans, sketches, grouping
and arrangements for small workmens
houses. The prizes are divided into
two groups. The first covers plans for
the housing of workmen in industrial
communities not exceeding a popula-
ton of $4,000. The prizes in this group
are $1,000 for the first, $500 for the
second and 800 each for the third,
fourth and fifth. The prizes in the
second group-covering substitutes for
old cars now used by railway con-
struction gangs-are $500, 5000 and
500 for the first, second and third, re-
spectiyely.

was the same episode. The long arm
of coincidence could scarcely stretch
that far. And now, at his final SEN

Ethel gasped.
Heinrich Strassman! Are you

bitterly.

Ethel Willoughby rose and moved

Larry chided her gently. He little knew
the agony that she was concealing
from him. "'Twas his job-and for a

That last word struck her cold.

very slowly.
"Why, that he and his wife had been

she inquired in a manner that was
strangely deliberate. Aghast as she
was at the thought OF Henry Street

jecting her to a marriage that seemed
no marriage at all, certain calm sat-
isfaction came over her. In spite OF
her shame she was glad beyond words
that she was not tied to him for life

cried suddenly.
"My dear-what Is It? What is itT
Larry exclaimed. He saw that she was
in agony. And he went to her as he
might have hurried to any futtering
bird with broken wing.

Municipalities Need Power

Thomas Adams, English city-plan-
country, emphasized the necessity of
proper legislative steps to give NUM-
cipalities power to carry out town.
planning schemes. He pointed out
that, to have a successful application
of restrictive regulations, there must
be cooperation between the owner and
the municipality. "If you leave the
control of your building development
until the buildings are up, the owner
is not going to submit to restrictions
which will take away his property. If
you go to him II years before, he will
join you in the proper health reguIa-
ton which will help him to properly
control and restrict the property so
long as you restrict everybody else in
the district accordingly"
In closing, Mr.. Adams said: "Some-
body said yesterday that you, in Amer
lea, have no war. Have you not? You
have got war with potential degrada-
ton and Stun life just as we have in
Europe, and you have to fight it. You
have war with all these difficulties that
breed preventable diseases; with those
difficulties that always confront us. l

association to be up and doing. Not
only let 1t be said that this hemisphere
is a place where there is liberty and
freedom, politically speaking, but 1t is
also a hemisphere of home"

SYNOPSIS.

Georgy Wagstaff, daughter of Sir
George, of the British admiralty, hints at
a lialson between her governess. Ethel
Willoughby, and Henry Streetman. Ethel
denies It. Henry Streetman calls on Ethel
and while waiting for her talks to Brews-
ter, Sir Georges butler who is a German
spy, about his failure to get at admiralty
papers in Sir Georges possession: he
phones to German secret service head
quarters. Streetman, the German spy, and
Roeder (alias Brewster the butlerl are
discussing the possibility of war. When
Ethel appears he tries to force her to get
from Sir George knowledge of the sailing
orders TO the British fleet. Though she
believes him French instead of a Ger
man spy, she refuses until he threatens
her. She begs him to announce their Sc
cret marriage, as Georgy is suspicious;
but he puts her off. AT tea Georgy and
her lover Guy FalConer, tease Sir George,
and Streetman makes an awkward at
Gempt to talk politics. Streetman, the
German spy, Sir George Wagstaff British
laval official Ethel Willoughby, secret
wife of Streetman, and others are having
tea at the Wagstaff home. The party is
discussing a play. Charlie Brown, news
paper man of New York, entertains the
2ea party with his views on the threat
ened war in Europe. Guy Falconer de-
Clares that If war comes he will go tC
Cuba. His mother and Sir George reprove
him. Charlie says Guy is spoofing. Capt
Larry Redmond of the Irish Guards, calls
on Ethel. The two had been undeclarec
lovers.

my own eyes. And so I've tossed
away the last twelve months-no good
to anyonew
"Yet now you've come back" she
said sadly, to herself more than to
him. She could not help remembering
what he had just said about the Irish
being too late.
He turned to her eagerly.
"'Twas only the other day in Pana-
ma l picked up copy of an old Times
and read there a paragraph about
her. She was still Miss-Miss-and so
I'm here" he said pointedly, though he
had mentioned no name to identify the
girl of whom he spoke
"Here?' she asked, as If perplexed.
He went to her then.
ETHEL! Ethel! want you to marry
me!' he besOught her. He kneeled up
on the settee beside her. "Please God,
say you will"
"Oh! Larry! Larryw She was both
happy and sad-happy to know that he
really loved her, but desolate when
she realized that what he asked could
never be.
"Oh, Ethel! love you'll love youy"
"And never even dreamed it!' The
irony of 1t all swept over her like some
engulhng food.
"You care for me, too. don't you?
Oh, say you dor he begged.
She rose, as If she would shake off
the cruel chains that kept her away
from him.
