CITY LOOKING INTO FUTURE
BiIIboards and Such Disfigurements
Sternly Prohibited in Prosperous
California Town.

We have one city with sufficient
civic pride and backbone to say that
no bilIboards shall be erected within
her limits, and that one is Inglewood
a small city with great hopes and am
billions. 1t already has a civic center
starting with a five-block park system
f1anked on one side by a grammar
school and a modern up-to-date high
school second to none, and on the 9th
er side by city lands reserved for
city hail. fire house, etc, that in time
will give InglewoOd a centralized city
government of a rare combination Of
beauty, usefulness and economy in so
far as municipal plan is concerned.
More expenditure is needed on the
park system and a 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

"Annie Laurie" of Famous
Old Song Was a Real Person

Few of us ever think of the Annie
Laurie" of the famous Did song as
real person. But she was a girl who
lived in Dumfries. Scotland, which is
near MaxweIton. She was born about
1852 and when she died she was buried
in Dunscort churchydrd,
This real Annie Laurie had a sweet
heart, a Mr.. Douglas, who wrote ii song
about her. The words of the song he
wrote were not as beautiful as those
we think of in connection with her
The song with which we are familiar
was written from Douglas song about
20 years ago by Lady Jean Scott,
member of one of the great families
in Great Britain.
In one of the institutions in Dam
fries today there is the last viii and
testament" of Annie Laurie And the
churchyard where she is buried is
often spoken of by Carlyle in his
letters, for he was of that same neigh
bOrhood.

When we read or hear of Sums va

its convention it outlined camnaign

a wholly new movement for country
planning which is intended to supDla-

been carrying on with success for some
years.
The civic associations information

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 menace to the
country youth than the slums Of

in some places there is lack of more

Artificial Blood, Latest
Achievement Of Science,
Invented by an American

Making artificial blood is the latest
achievement of science. DR.. James j.
Hogan of San Francisco has invented
a fluid that may be introduced into the
veins in the place of zeal blood in
TRANSMISSION operations.
The solution consists of pEest gela-
tin combined with sodium Chord and
distilled water. The resultant liquid
solidifies and is placed IN glass tubes
until needed.
When introduced into she blood YES
sells it will remain thece as long as
necessary and az nature manufactures
new blood ii slowly disappears.
In the hundreds of cases where the
Hogan solution has been used no in
furious effect has resulted.
Doctor Hogan went abroad when he
received direct invitation from the
German government, in order to try
his method. He rot only demonstrated
his new discovery in the hospitals Of
Germany and England, but taught the
military surgeons of those countries
how to prepare it.

Municipalities Need Power.

Thomas Adams, English city-plau-
ming expert, on a recent visit to this
country, emphasized the necessity Of
proper legislative steps to give muui
cipalities power to carry out town
planning schemes. He pointed out
that, to have q 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. r
you go to him u 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 "Sou5-

Black Children of Northern

The construction of this barn Is diff

feet above the ground line. The wall
Is of concrete started two and one-half
feet below grade with wide footings to
ensure against settling or cracking.
In fact, 1t might be said that the whole
substructure of this barn is made
in one large piece, since the con-
crete floor and foundation wall are
poured together. This method of con-
Struction is very practical for il not

base upon which to SET the wooden

The framework of the building is

the top of the wall. Plank frame truss

to the peak Of the roof. This frame is

Microscope Greatest Instrument

No single invention has made possi-
