TROUBLES OF LARGE CITIES
Land Ownership in Europe Carries Re-

in This Country.

In Europe extensive land ownership
frequently Involves municipalities in
Improbable disputes. A large town
owning n parcel Of land in nearby
township proposes to build hospital
on It, The project IN not pleasing to
the township; Its council prepares
building plan for the district. and runs
street through the proposed hospital
site. Berlin itself was. only few
years ago, treated thus by a suburban
neighbor. Electoral laws are severe; !;

thirty times as much voting power as
one in the second, and 400 times as
much as their third class" neighbor.
Again, municipal governments are
business agencies with most liberal
charters. They build barracks-in the
larger cities the average number or
persons housed in one structure runs
from Frnnkfort's 20 to Berlin's T-
and these structures are material OF
n purely speculative business which
cannot be regarded MS healthful in
tlucnce physically or politically in the
city's life. These things md hun
dred others of similar nature do NOT
condemn German municipal govern
ment any more than the peculiar e1-

condemnation of the British system In
which those particular excellences are
lacking. But they do bring out the
difficulties of government and empha-
size the fruitlessness OF comparison

DESTROY BEAUTY OF CITY
Cards and PIacards Have No Place In
Streets Of Any Weli-ordered
Community.

Political ambitions are becoming so
much an obstacle to civic beauty that
the esthetic souls of many communi-
ties have been on the verge Of rebel
lion for some time past. When man
becomes obsessed with desire TO
shine in public life he announces his
mntchlcss virtues by means OF harfn9
cards and placards. These cards nre
placed at every point where the hu-
man vision might be expected to dwell.
Does one pause to enjoy the grandeur
OF a rural scene. he Is reminded from
| every tree ana rock that Smith is the
peoples choice for constable" or that
Jones stands for the square DEAL
The outrage is heightened by a series
| Of homely visages showing the aspiring
ones in various poses Of vanity.
Vandalism Is n strong term, but Is
1t too strong for such practices7 The
worst part is that 1t is perennial. The
bounteous crop sown at election time
Is permitted to remain the year
around. BY the time the elements
have succeeded In destroying one crop.
another hns put In appearance. Cards
may be found in any grove-the CARDS
of men who have been politically dead
for years. 1t may have been proved
at the polls that the erstwhile "peo-
pies choice" was not any ones choice
yet he must be regaled with the pla-
cards on every tree and eminence.
Minneapolis, whose finer sensible
ties have been aroused, will hnve no
more of this. Hereafter, candidates
| will have to proclaim their virtues In
some other manner. Defacement OF
scenery by homely visages and trite
! slogans will be inhibited by law. AT
An election now impending, most OF the
| candidates have agreed to keep their
placards out Of public scenic places.

wIndow Seat, Make Tor Comfort.

One of the details Of planning which

hardly be too many in a home. In

and so constructed as to be useful as
well as ornamental; that 1t have cov-

W HELPS
"sLUMs" OUTSIDE OF CITIES
Country Districts May Have Their
Share IL 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 nre rural slums. When
the American Civic association held
it's convention it outlined Il campaign
of attack on the rural slum as it eN-
lists both in the village and in the open
country. The campaign is n part of
a wholly new movement for country
planning which la 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 II II were something newly dis
covered. 1t is true enough, as we al-
ready have suggested, that most people
do not think of slunis 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 plnces
are, perhaps. more Of menace to. the
country youth than the slums OF a
city are to the city youth. Because
In some places there is 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.

Municipalities Need Power.

Thomas Adams, English city-plnn-
ming expert. on n recent visit to this
country. emphasized the necessity of
proper legislative steps to give muni-
cipalities power to carry out town
planning schemes. He pointed out
that, to have n 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 nre up, the owner
Is not going to submit to restrictions
which will take away his property. II
you go to him - years before. he will
Join you in the proper health regula-
ton which will help him to properly
control and restrict the property so
long MS 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 degrndn-
ton and slum life Just ns We have In
Europe, and you have to fight it. You
have war with all these difficulties that
breed preventnble diseases; with those
difficulties that always confront us.
want to appeal to the American Civic
association to be up and doing. Not
only let 1t be said that this hemisphere

Wide Streets in Uruguay.

Cities that are worrying over narrow

buildings be erected at least 1928 feet

SCRAPS ABOUT SCRAPPERS
BY LOUIS II. JAFFE

DOXING fans now are sitting back anx-
ID iousy waiting for a boxer to come
through with the ability to win from Benny
Leonard After the New York phenom
began knocking off his opponents with CON
sistency the public wanted to see poker
who could stay the limit with Benny. Now
that he has made himself a fixture on the
pinnacle Of the lightweight throne, the fan
wants to see a boxer with sufficient class
to defeat the champion Johnny Tillman
is anxious to get the chance. Let Hanlon
or McGugan throw me in the ring win
Benny Leonard and he will be up against
his first real fight since he became famous
via his knockout punch" This is the senti-
ment Of Tillman "l'll admit that my last
bout with Leonard was a marathon and
coverng-up exhibition on my part But
succeeded i'm one thing. ! was on my rect
at the finish Leonard was putting every
one to sleep in Philly then, and IT was the
ambition of a boxer to stay the limit. In
that l succeeded Now that the fans want
10 see some one win from Leonard, all I can
say is that I am willing to try, and Benny
will know that he was in hard bout
when II is over I'll be out to win TINS
time and not to stay. If Benny Is to
knock me out he'll have the opportunity
for I, too, will try my best to slip one
over. I thank you
TTILLMAN evidently would be an
other kayo victim of Leonard's II
he were to open up against the champ,
vet one never can tell. Tillman was
picked easy for Charley White He
opened up in both bouts against the
Chicago knockout artist and won both.
It would be worth while giving Till
man another chance and II he dogged
n as before. then the Minneapolis man
should be exiled from Philadelphia for
all time.

much for the game at first but they are bo

they believe that it is now only matter

glad enough TO win, | was sorry to see that

How did you feel?" we asked Collins,

"I felt" he remarked, that Just about
