POLES AND WIRES HURT CITY
Los Angeles Newspaper Complains Of
Conditions Which Work Harm In
Many Other Municipalities.

The residents Of Los Angeles + to
be congratulated If the city shall
quickly acquire the privately owned
lighting systems and avoid the multi
pie pole-and.wire systems now borne
by the northeast districts. In the lat
ter, in Garvanza and Highland Park
districts particularly, more landscape
beauty has been blotted out in a few
months than the residents have been
able to create in several years. Poles
and wires are everywhere, trees de-
spoiled, private property rights vio-
lated, in stringing wires without per-
mission, and all the evils usually at
tendant upon service by employees
protected in their vandalism by civil
service. 1t is most sincerely hoped
that acquisition Of existing lines by
the city will result In the removal Of
at least two-thirds of the present jun
gle, for the district is now despoiled.

RIcht Type Of Patriotism.

Every American who does not think
his land the fairest that eyer the sun
shone on, his own state the finest in
the Union, and his town the best place
In which to live has not reached tho
same celestial plane of Joy and pa
triotism as the foreigner, who thinks
his little wind-swept bog is the happi.
est spot in the happiest land the good
God ever made. This is the love Of
country that glorifes q land and the
people that inhabit 1t. This Is what
makes every hill and valley, every
rock and rill. the most beautiful In the
world, because It is ours, made sacred
and beautiful by the memories woven
around it.-Exchangs.

comply with the requirements of the
commissioner In the matter Of pr0vid.
ing safeguards against the spread Of
fire. The orders in question were is
sued IN March 6, 1915, and because Of
failure to comply with them were sent
to the bureau Of penalties in the cor.

the enforcement Of the legal penalty.
One of the buildings was converted

City ManaaInq 4 Profession.

When the commissioners In charge
Of Niagara Falls, N. Y, were looking
about for a manager for the city they
heard of a young fellow at Cadillac,
Mich, named Carr. Cadillac was pay
ing Carr $500 as city manager, and It
figured that it had made a good in
vestment, for he had saved the city
$1,000 out of a budget Of $4,000.
Carr looked over the ground at Mag.
ara Falls and said he would take the
job at $4,000. But he agreed to save
the city $4,000 by putting the city on a
business basis. 1t looks as if he would
make good.
That's what the city manager plan
makes possible. It builds up a corps
Of trained men who know how cities
ought to run. Then 1t permits a city |
to bid for the services Of a man who IL

Father Of "Tanks"

Patriotic Scotsmen might plausIbly
claim that the real inventor of "tanks'
was John Napier Of MerchistOn, who
also invented logarithms. He had
many varied intellectual activities be-
sides the higher mathematics, and was
II Jealous protagonist of Protestant
ism. For confounding NIL "enemies of
Gods truth" he conflded to Bacon's
elder brother certain "secret inven-
tions." These included a chariot Of
metal, double musket-prOOf, the mi.
ton Of which was controlled by those
within. "who discharged shot through
small holes, the enemy being abased,
and uncertain what defense to make
against a moving mouth of metal"
This looks like the original tank" but
Napier directed the detailed designs
for his weird instruments Of war to
be kept secret until necessity com.
