CITY PLANNING IDEA GROWS
Phase Of Community Activity Once
Regarded as Visionary Has TAX.
en- Hold on Popular Interest.

City planning, which may once have
been regarded as the peculiar project
Of meddlesome theorists, has taken a
new hold on popular interest in the
United States. New York city sup
plies one notable example of planning
activity. An examination of the causes
underlying disastrous slumps in prop
erty values in what was formerly a
congested district in the lower part of
Manhattan Island showed that the dis
trict had been permitted to grow in
haphazard fashion without any fore
thought of the inevitable growth Of a
business section farther uptown. New
York business men saw too late that
such condition could have been pre-
vented, and they asked for and OBJ
tanned a planning commission.
Interest in city planning has been
awakened in Indiana. Fort Wayne is
the first city in the state to announce
preparations for planning exhibi-
tion, although the chamber of COM
merce Of Indianapolis and several 9TH
er cities have been considering local
exhibitions as the first step in cam
paign to get a law authorizing planning
commissions. The material and scope
of these exhibitions can be adjusted to
local needs, but the purpose Of all Of
them is to visualize city planning as
it is proceeding in other places, and to
show to the uninformed or skeptical
citizen that it has an intensely prac-
tical value.-Indianapo Star.

SHOWING CHARACTER IN HOME
Builder Should Express His Own Ma.
ture And Not Follow Reigning
Style in Architecture.

The essential in the art of home
building is the ability to suit your
own taste-to express your own ma
ture. Your taste may not at all coin
eide with that of your neighbOr, but
that is not important. There are as
many individual expressions of the art
that is within one as there are leaves
on a tree, and there is no good reason
why the expression Of the individual
should not continue in the home itself.
For peoples characters do show in
their hOmes-in the architecture Of the
dwelling, the decorations within, the
selection of the furniture, even in the
pictures and the way they are hung.
To persons who are not especially OBJ
servant this fact is as plain as the fact
that one can always detect the pres
ence Of feminine fingers in the ar
rangement of the bric-a-brac, the flow

and magazines on the library table.
The thing is so palpably human that
It is almost impossible not to recog-

It may never have occurred to you
how bound down most of US are by
conventions that someone else estab-
lished without our knowledge or sane
ton and which may or may not repre-
sent our ideals. And still we follow
them blindly. But it is sorry fact
that most people don't build their
houses or their homes to fit their ma
lures. Rather do they try to make
their natures fit into the home which
they pay numerous other persons to
build for them.
They allow themselves to be made
slaves of convention, style or fad, and
their home is no more like them-nO
more the expression Of their lives or
natures-than an automobile is like q
