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 q condition could have been pre-
vented, and they asked for and OBJ
tained 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 a cam
paign to get 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 tc
show to the uninformed or skeptical
citizen that it has an intensely prac
tical value.-Indianapol Star.

Rats and Fires.

At time when everyone Is COM
planning of the high cost Of living 1t
might be well to see If we cannot elm
inate two great sources of waste-tres
md rats.
Most fires are needless. All rats
are so. Some years ago study of the
rat problem In Philadelphia arrived mt
the conclusion that the rodents of that
city ate more than million dollars
worth Of food each year. At that rate,
the disgusting creatures can hardly
cost less than $l00,000,0O0 per year
to the whole country. This is pref
ty high price to pay for the compnn-
ionship of impish pests which, besides
their other bad habits, undermine
floors and carry the most dreaded of
all diseases, bubonic plague.
Yet fires are more expensive than
rats. In l9l5-thc last year for which
figures are at hand-thc American
people paid out in premiums for fire
insurance $4i9,36l ,346. OF this vast
sum at least thrcc-fourthS could be
saved by reducing our fire record to
the rate prevailing in England, France
or Germany; and even in our time and
nation S30O,000,000 per year is saw
ing worth noting, and one which
would have n perceptble effect on the
cost of living.

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 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-ln 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
ers or vase on the stand or the books
and magazines on the library table.
The thing is so palpably human that
it is almost impossible not to recog-
niZe it.
1t 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 a 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 a
flat-bottom boat. They go to the near.
est architect, who tells them what the
reigning style happens to be at the mo.
ment, as If he were planning to III
them all with the latest Paris fashions
in dress or headgear.

This is the reason the artist ana
his fomner friend do not speak any
more. The artist got Il local dealer to
exhibit his paintings, and after few
days he took his bosom friend down
to see the exhibition.
The friend looked the pictures over
critically skeptically, Then he said

on it saying, Sold

House With Spirit of Home.

Rich or poor, We are all tempted, in
varying degrees, to build bigger houses
than our personalities call for. One
who is building a new house can hard
ly do better than follow that excellent
motto of the Greeks, "Not too much"
Is not the first principle of house build
ing to make something which shall de-
pend for its effect, not upon size and
display, but upon its quiet adaptation
to the spirit of those who abide in 1t
something the value of which no one
shall be able to measure in dollars
and cents, something that is ones own
ones home?

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Corn-Covering of
short corn, which began yesterday,
continued this morning and gave a
strong tone to the market early. The
effect of a bearish government FORE
cast and scattered rains, which were
needed, combined with lower cash
market to cause a sharp decline after
midday. Distilling interests, which
have been credited with much Of the
strength in the cash market were less
conspicuous today, and in some out
side markets were said to haze with
drawn entirely. Crop reports from the
surplus states continue very favorable.
and the high conditions in those states
as shown by the government report
seems to be maintained.
Oats-The scattered rains which were
beneficial to corn were considered bull
ish in the nearby deliveries of oats,
and September regained a. premium
over December. The movement from
the new crop is disappointing, farmers
binning their crop as far as possible,
and the southern demand being above
Chicago parity for the moderate
amount of new oats moving. It is not
unlikely that the cash demand will
continue strong, at least until the ap-
proach Of the gathering Of the corn
crop.
