MODEL WORKMEN'S TOWN.
Goodyear Tract Has Been Included In
the City Of Akron.

Goodyear Tract Has Been Included IN
the City Of Akron.
So successful has been the home
building plan for employees of the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber company
that the city of Akron, O., recently
included the whole Goodyear tract in
an annexation ordinance that has
recently been passed, and Goodyear
Heights is now a part Of the city.
The plan was stared three years
ago by President F. A. Selberling,
who felt that many Of the 10000
workmen desired to become home
owners, but were barred by the
"down payments" necessary in the
usual real estate deal Thereupon
100 acres Of land were purchased
close to the plant. the ground was
allotted, streets laid out, paved, sew
cred, ETC.; water, gas and electric
light provided for and homes buils
and s0ld to workmen on the basis OK
rent, no down payment being neces-
sary.
Most Of the commonplace features
Of allotment development have been
eliminated. There are no rows or
houses all alike. Each is real home.
with architectural individuality
brick and stucco prevailing as to ma
terial
A small lake partly within the
property has made 1t possible to ar
range a fine pleasure ground, with
tennis courts, football and baseball
fields, swimming and skating facili-
ties and restful parks. Goodyear
Heights already has population
close to 1000 people, with school.
church, stores and all the rest of the
usual community trimmings. The
tract is one of the show places of the
city. and its fame has spread so that
manufacturers from many parts OF
the country have made detailed in
quiries, with view, to the possibility
of adopting, in whole or part, similar
housing plans.

BEAUTIFUL
BEAUTIFY GATUN LOCKS
AND ALSO THE VILLAGE.
Zone Authorities Devoting Attention 70
ornamentins Canal and Village.

The beautifying Of Gatun locks and
the village of Gatun has been started
by the canal zone authorities. This is
the first step in making any OF the
work Of the canal assume its perma-
nent aspect from an artistic view
point.
The first work is concerned with
the removal of the superlluOus track
age needed while the work Of con-
struction was in progress. 1t will be-
necessary to leave some Of this, but 1t
will be so rebuilt that 1t will not in
terfere with the beauty OF the gen.
eral effect. The track removal will
give a wide and level lawn which
will not be broken up either with
buildings or flower beds.
Already all temporary structures
needed for construction purposes
have been removed and their former
sites converted into lawns. The huge
cranes and cableways that were used
for conveying concrete from the mix
ers to the lock walls and floors are
being removed. The lock walls have
been cleared of all unnecessary ma.
terial.
The village Of Gatun. which will
house the lock operating force and
such military establishment as is
needed to guard the locks, will be-
greatly beautifed through the addi-
tion Of many trees and ornamental
shrubs Additional roadways and
pathways win be built. A new club
house Is to be constructed, the old
one being IN such bad repair that IL
would not pay to repair IT,

Grants Pass Expects
Many at Luncheon

Invitations were forwarded the
Commercial Clubs of both Ashland
and Medford suggesting that they be
represented at some near dates by
delegations at one OF the weekly
luncheons OF the Grants Pass Cham
ber OF Commerce. when a closer CO.
operation among the communities Of
southern Oregon could be considered.
A letter received today from the Ash
land club accepts tho invitation. and
the delegation will be here as soon
as the roads are in good shape for
auto travel It is probable that the
Aslandcrs will be here on the 29rd
OF the present month, and so heartily
have the people of the springs city
entered into the spirit of the thought
that they leave size of the delegation
that will come subject only to the
number OF Grants Pass Chamber OF
Commerce can accommodate. Man
ager Sheldon is now preparing more
equipment for the dining room, the
attendance at the luncheons having
continued to grow until the capacity
OF the room is taxed. 1t is expected
that the attendance at the weekly
functions will have to be confined to
members of the chamber and their
especially invited guests in the very
near future, about 120 being the ut
most number that can be cared for
at these MONDAY gatherings.

Play and outdoor exercise are as nee

education, according to J. r. Richards,
the Chicago superintendent of recrea-
ton. In a paper on the subject, pre-
pared for the current issue Of the
American City, Mr.. Richards urges
that it is as much duty Of the gov
ernment to provide facilities for both
children and adults to play In and
about cities as to provide adequate edu-
cational facilities.
American cities have approached the
play problem in too haphazard fash

FOUR ALDERMEN OFFER TO STAY IN SERVICE
Nc6ibboney, Means, McGehee and
 Clement Consent to Again Be come Candidates for Council.

There is probability that Pine Bluff will continue to have the benefit of thj same competent board :, of di- rectors that it now enjoys for at least two years more, each of the four al' dermen whose terms expire nex: year having been persuaded to be- come candidates to succeed them selves, and they will go before the Democratic voters of the city in the primary on December '. These are:
 George McGibboney, alderman from the First ward.
 J. Harvey Means, alderman from the Second ward.
 F. o. McGehee, alderman from the Third ward.
 J. A. Clement, alderman from the Fourth ward.
 These men and their qualifications for places on the body which handles the business of the municipal corpor- ation are so we'll known as to make more than mere reference unneces- sary. Men of sterling integrity, who have made sacrifices in order to serve their city, they brought to the coun- cil Knowledge and experience that have proved of great benefit to the city and it's people. It is fortunate for city to have men of such worth as these four, and their four col 1 leagues, in charge of the governs imental affairs. and Pine Bluff is particularly fortunate in that it's ai dermen represent so many different lines of business. The result is tN give the city the advantage of eXper, advice and service in practically ev cry situation that can arise. That's why many citizens consider it fortu nate that Messrs. McGibbOney, Means McGehee and Clement have consented to become candidates to succeed thm slves in the council, and why it is predicted by some that these gentle men will he nominated without oppo sition.

THEATRE TAX GOES
 ON WITH ALL TAXES
Iaw Becomes Effective November |, and Managers Must See That the
 Tax Is Paid In Full.

Formal announcement of the inn pending war tax on theatre tickets,
 together with instructions as to the manner of it's collection, was sent cut to theatre managers all over the country by the United Managers Pro- tectiye association. The methods of collection was decided up in Wash fngtOn at conference by the secre- tary of the treasury, the solicitor for the treasury department, the cOmmis- X 6iOner of internal revenue, and LigOn Johnson, counsel for the managers.
 At this conference it was agreed that the most practical method of collecting the tax in the circumstan ces was to demand from each thea tre monthly sworn statements of it's huisness during the preceding month. tWhen theatre ticket is sold the S theatre will collect the 10 per cent tax. and will then be responsible to the government. It had been orig inaily planned to employ stamps, but the fact that the tax goes into effect on November 1 renders the time too short to effect the necessary arr engagements.
 The manager of tae theatre, and \ not the manager of attractions ap bearing therein, will be responsible for the tax. After November l, he will be compelled to keep daily box office statements. signed by himself and the company manager, and these must be preserved for inspection by the government if desired. The month ly returns to the government will be on forms to be provided by the commissioner of internal revenue.
 Although the law provides that the tax must be paid by the patron. tho theatre may pay it if it so desires but it must differentiate to the public hetMeen the admission charge and the tax. It is suggested but not re quircd. that there be printed on al ;tickets an announcement reading: This theatre is required by law tt collect from purchaser of this tick $ ct United States tax of 10 per cen ' nn admission plan"

INTELLIGENCE OF ELEPHANTS.

''I'll tell you the reason that any one of my three herds of elephants is the most intelligent bunch O beasts in this whole menagerie, which in cludes about every known animal but the populist," said the boss animal man of the Sells-Floto circus. coming to Pine Bluff for visit of one day, Thursday, October 25.
 "The elephant has five toes like 3 man, that's why. Look at those os- triches over there. You know they are the prize nobody home creatures of the universe, don't you? Want to know hy? Well, they've got only two toes. Of course, my theory does not apply to the hoofed animals, but they are all babes in arms when com. pared to elephants in the matter O wisdom.
 "Here's another thing. Did you ever seen anything with big eyes that has any brains? Take matinee idols, movie Claudes and fish, for instance. Amt I right? Now look down those elephant lines. Take the tenth one Tn the row. Pipe those little eyes. Just watch the brightness of lem. That 'bull' knows Pm talking about him; he knows what Pm saving. They gt you every time, do the bulls They size people up on sight. If they dor.t like you then. they never will. When they don't fall for persons charms, I know there's something wrong with that person. But follow the elephants tips and you'll lov, your fellow men; for you'll notice it's seldom they find a wrong 'un-mighty seldom.'
