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
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 s.smtys in prop
erty values in what was formerly
congested district in the lower part of
Manhattan Island showed that the dis
triet had been permitted to grow in
haphaZard fashion without any fore
thought of the inevitable growth of
business section farther uptown. New
York business men saw too late that
such a condition could have been pre-
vented, and they asked for and OBJ
tanned 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 exhibit
ton. 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 pill of
them is to visualize city planning as
it is proceeding in other places, and to
show to the uniformed or skeptical
citizen that 1t has an intensely prac-
teal value.-Indianapolis Star

speaking on behalf of the majority

porters were Germanophobes, and that
consequently the Social Democrats
based their hopes on NJ Kerensky
(Russian minister of justice) and NJ
Tcheidse Ca Socialist leader in the
Duma). On this subject NJ Kerensky
made the following declaration TO a
party of journalists:
From the incomplete information

ample and dethrone their emperor, We

house The deputies listened with nm
broken attention until the first men
ton of the United States. Then they
broke out in applause. At first it was
decerous clapping of hands, and
then the whole house spontaneously
arose, cheering for the United States
and President Wilson.
The American ambassador, William
&c Sharp, was in the diplomatic gal
lery. The deputies turned toward him
and the demonstration continued. The
| ambassador stood up and bowed and
the cheering was redoubled in inten-
sity.
President Poincare of France had
sent the following cablegram TO Pres

SHOWING CHARACTER IN HOME
Builder Should Express His Own Ma
ture And Not Follow Reiguing
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-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
enee of feminine fingers in the ar
rangement of the bric-a-brae, the flow
ers or vase on the stand or the books
and magazines on the library table.
The thing is so palpably human that
1t 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, AMI
their home is no more like them-n5
more the expression of their lives or
natures-than an automobile is like
fiat-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 fit
them all with the latest Paris fashions
in dress or headgear.
