BUILDING ON DEFINITE PLAN
Country Has Been Quick to Recognize
Advantages of Having Expert
Lay Out City.

Town planning has received so much
attention within the last ten years that
1t is developing into a new profession
and one that promises to be most re-
munerative. The obvious advantage
of brand new city, built up from the
ground on plan in harmony with
modern developments, over the city
lage in which sanitation, convenience
and civic beauty were unthought of,
has been recognized by a number Of
corporations In the selection Of sites
for manufacturing plants. The need
Of persons competent TO plan new
cities as well as to remodel old ones
led the University Of Pennsylvania to
establish a course of city planning. II
has been under the direction of Il. An
trim Haldeman, city engineer of Phil
adelphia; Carol Aronovlci and Bernard
Newman of the Philadelphia housing
commission and Prof. james z. Lich-
tenberger of the university.
A number of cities are now estab-
fishing commissions for the purpose Of
procuring n definite plan suited TO in
dividual municipal need. New York
recently established such a commits
sion and the group of public buildings
which are adding so materially to the
efficiency and beauty Of Cleveland
were built from plans which recog-
nized the peculiar and distinctive con
ditions Of that city. Dallas and Gal
weston, Tex, Birmingham, Ala, and
Reading, Pa, are among other cities
which have recently adopted a definite
plan upon which future improvements
Will be based.

EMPTY LOTS MADE TO BLOOM
Denver's School Garden Crusade Is In

Dement'S From Gardening.

The man who puts in honest and con.
scientious work on his garden must be
a winner, even If not one radish ever
finds its way to his dinner table. He
is benefited by the vigorous outdoor
work. He is strengthened by the con-
seriousness of having done his best.
And he has gained valuable expert
ence which will enable him to do bet
ter next year.
1t is safe to predict that the gar
dens that fail to produce anything will
be very few. The spirit which in
spires the backyard gardener is the
spirit that works miracles. OF those
who undertake the work with little
hope the majority are likely to be
happily surprised Even partial sue
cess is an abundant reward, and it will
be an incentive for more intelligent
though not more conscientious work in
the future.

A PROMISING Recruit.

On his way to the provincial hydro
building in Toronto a few days ago,
Sir Adam Beck was asked if he would
''join up" by a recruiting sergeant in
front of the armories. Sir Adam ex-
pressed his willingness, and the man
led him to the door of the armories,
asking him what unit he would like to
join.
"Ill leave that to you," was the re-
ply, "but what are the conditions as
to age?"
Under forty-eight," was the prompt
reply of the recruiting sergeant, who
took a second look at the vigorous
outdoor countenance of Sir Adam.
"Oh, a few years doesn't matter.
What's your job?'
well, I'm nearly sixty" replied Sir
Adam, land it's hard job
"You certainly have the courage, but
perhaps you are a little over age,
but what is your job?" replied the SER
geant.

Canada" was Sir Adams smiling re-
ply as he left the recruiting sergeant
who, after a salute, looked at the re-
treating figure and wondered whom
he had been asking to enlist.-Montreal

The number of settlers from Eastern
Canada migrating to the west also in
creased. From January ] to March 81,
1917, the number of cars of stock that
passed through the Winnipeg yards

LIVED IN GERMANY AND TELLS ABOUT

BERNIE, Switzerland, Nov. 16.- There has just arrived here from Germany naturalized American who has lived in Germany through out the war, worked in German sea ports, passing for or being consid- cred a German subject, mingling not only with the common people, but having occasional access to the councils of the high.
 In his opinion Germany is suffer- ing acutely now and dissatisfaction and worse reign in certain strata of her army and navy. Recent mu- tinous uprisings have had to be sternly repressed and the mutineers shot. Thoughtful Germany, he thinks, comprising men of the Bal lin type, is desperately anxious for peace and secretly anxious to end the war before America has been utterly alienated

TREE-LESS BELGIUM WILL FOLLOW AFTER
 THE WAR IS OVER

PARIS, Nov. 16-1t will be a tree-less Belgium to which the peo- pie of that unfortunate country will return, if its invaders are not driv- en out before they have completed their work of devastation. Factor ies have been deposited of their ma chinery, every form of property has been requisitioned, and now woods; forests and even individual trees are being cut down wholesale. The wooded heights of the Belgian Ar dennes, which used to protect the center of the country from east winds, are rapidly being denuded, the tall elms that lined the high roads and canals have been felled, and walnut trees that adorned the gardens of the well-to-do in Brus- sells have not been spared.

Fishermen Have Made For tunes by Picking up Wreck Val
 uabIeS.
BRING FOOD TO DOOR
Some of the Many Articles Picked Up by Those Who make living
 from Sea.

BASE OF AMERICAN FLOTILLA IN BRITISH WATERS, Nov. 16- Correspondence of the Associated Press )-Irish fishermen along the coasts where the U-boats operate, have made some remarkable catches during the past year The story of the fishermen who found a $15,- 900 box of diamonds from the Lusi- tania in his nets one day, and whose honesty in returning them to the rightful owners was rewarded by a check for $1,000, is well known There is another fisherman who ar rived home from a fishing expedi tion with a fine new American auto mobile lashed to the deck of his lit tie trawler. There are hundreds of fishermen who have made modest fortunes out of salvage of one kind or another Wheat, flour and coal salvage are all profitable businesses in the coast towns nowadays.
 The story of the man who came home from the sea with brand new automobile is a household favorite n the Irish ports. Accompanied by his son he was mackerel fishing one day when he was aroused by the re- port of an explosion. On the hori- zon a cargo steamer from America was settling in the stern. It had been torpedoed. The fisherman headed for it and soon met the cap tain and crew in two open boats. She's loaded with American auto mobiles, you might get one before she goes under" said the skipper okingly as he and his shipmates passed on toward shore.
 The torpedoed ship was still well above water when the fisherman came alongside. He at once sent his son aboard to look around. The letter faund the hold full of auto mobiles. Run one out through this yangway" directed the father. With he aid of some tackle the machine was dropped into the fishing vessel. A few moments later as the trawler steamer away the ship disappeared. l H6 llSutIllldH NllH all duIOIlODll6 s now the envy of the village.
 ManS torpedoed vessels manage to reach shore where they are usually pounded to pieces on the rocks. But before the cargo is lost forever peo- ole come from miles around to sal wage it. Anything that will float is lsed and everyone helps himself. Men, women and children attack car go and ship, removing brass fittings md anything else of value. Flour md canned meats, fruits and veget- ables form the larger portion of the Salvaged articles.
 One village has had the good for tune to have a couple of foodships bring up on it's very doorsteps. Most of the ships of course go down 1t sea- But this does not disheart- en the alert fisherman who have been known to transfer several hun lred sacks of the best American Tour from a vessel while it is sink ing many miles from land. If the explosion tears big enough hole in the victim much of the cargo will become loosened and wash ashore where it is quickly spied by the watchful eyes of the natives.
 Salvage companies also are very | active and are making huge prof | it's. Some have transferred theil whole outfits to this coast. Their agents can bid on wheat cargo without seeing it and can tell just how far into sack of flour the wa ter will have penetrated in a giver | period.
