THE MYSTERY DEEPENS
War Savings Committee Will Petition Common Council For Permission To--But That's a Secret.

\ memorable petition will be pre- sCnted to the common council at it's monthly session tomorrow night. The War Savings campaign committee is sponsor, and nothing like it have the city fathers been asked to grant in the history of this world. If the petition is granted, which there is every reason to expect it will be, it won't be necessary ever to repeat the request. If the petition was put to a popular vote every man, woman and child in New Britain would vote for it. or if he didn't he'd want to change his climate in the quickest possible fashion. If he expressed sentiments against the granting Of this petition he would be very likely to bump up against the Secret Service and District Attorney Thomas J. Spellacy's forces. The new petition Is one which is calculated to stir wide spread interest throughout the com munity. They will have d chance to do so on September 2S. 1918, by be- ing present on Central Park and buy ing War Savings Stamps which will be a very large part of the program which is being enacted. By means of purchasing War Savings stamps the reality of which the carrying out of this petition is to symbolizc will be best effected.

REASON FOR CITY PLANNING
Allows for That Development Sure to
Be the Lot of a Town That Has
Live People.

City planning is the economy OF &C
ton today that insures possession to-
morrow.
The average American city doubles
every twenty-five years. This means
that it quadruples every fifty years.
The growth of Minneapolis Is more
rapid, 1t doubles in somewhat less
than seventeen years. 1t will, at its
present rate Of growth, reach a million
and a quarter in a third of a century.
Even this rate Of growth may be e1-
ceeded.
Transportation is the essence of city
planning. Rapid, frequent and cheap
means of communication between home
and workshop, one workshop and an
other, and workshop and homes, are
indispensable to community efficiency.
The chief agency Of transportation is
the street system. Every other agency
depends upon it, foot travel, vehicular
travel, surface, subway and elevated
service, the telephones and the tele-
graph, sewers and conduits-all are
controlled, determined, dictated by the
street system.
City planning is the provision of the
imminent population and Of its trans
p~ortation needs.

is NO LONGER EXPERIMENT
Garden City Has Been Proved to Be
Complete Success by Its DeVel-
opment in England.

While the community idea in this
country should not exactly be called a
negative expression, its development
to date hardly warrants terming 1t a
positive enterprise.
Concerning this movement Noble
Fost Hagen says:
"The garden city and town-planting
movement has reached the highest
point of effectiveness in England ana
has proved something more than a sue
cessful experiment.
'sThe model villages of LetchWortn'
Port Sunlight, Bournville, which pro
vide homes, real homes, for WORKING
people, are artistic creations OF men
possessed Of splendid imagination and
sympathetic understanding. Add to
these Hampstead Garden suburbs, the
Garden village near Cardiff, with their
picturesque winding roads and Vlne-
covered dwellings, and one may look
in vain for their counterparts in Amer
lea. They are nothing less than FAIRY
garden spots.
"The difference between the garden
city and the garden suburb is that the
first is a separate entity, a self-sus-
tanning unit; the latter lies on the
outskirts of large cities and becomes
a part thereof.
"There is no distinct and overwhelm-
ing element of philanthropy as a basis
for the creation Of these model towns.
They are paying investments from the
practical point Of view. The plan mas
been for q number Of manufacturers to
give serious thought to the furtherlng
of the garden city movement. The con-
gestion in our large cities contrary 10
all natural laws, has about reached It's
limit. We can no longer excuse our
selves for past errors in town plan
ming on the theory that this is a young
country. New towns are being laid out
today with the same Ditiful lack OF
constructive Imagination as hereto
fore; paralleled streets, giving the as
pect of a great, ugly checkerboard; no
civic centers, no Fairgrounds, INSULT
cient parks.
"The garden cities that are destined
to bloom in America and that are 10
be. the result of a movement fathereo
by American industrial institutions,
should be equal. If not superior, to any
like developments anywhere in the
world"

"sTARTERs" TO RIPEN CREAM
Technical Work Should Not Be Un.
dertaken Unless Butter Is Made
on Commercial Scale.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
In creameries it is customary to con-
troll to some extent the ripening OF
cream by means of Starters" which
are pure cultures Of lactic-acid-produc-
ing bacteria grown in ~pasteurized
milk. The making of starters is tech
meal work that should not be under
taken unless butter is made on q COM
mercial scale. If the milk and cream
are produced under proper conditions,
there is no need for using starters. Ii
handled under those conditions and
protected from contamination, cream
will develop the desired flavor when
allowed to ripen or sour naturally at
the proper temperatures.
When butter is made on q CONNER
cial scale, it may be advisable to con-
troll the ripening and thus make a
product that is more uniform from
week to week.
Commercial cultures for starter max
ing may be obtained from culture man
ufacturers and from dairy supply
houses. Directions for using accom-
pany each package and should be fol-
lowed carefully.
A natural or homemade starter may
be made as follows:
1. Clean thoroughly and boil for i've
minutes three pint fruit jars INT tops.
After boiling keep the jars covered to
prevent the entrance Of bacteria.
2. Take a pint sample of milk
freshly drawn from each of three COWS,
place in the jars, cover, cool to rs de-
crees Fahrenheit, and keep at that
temperature until curdling occurs.
8. Curdling, or coagulation, should
take place in about "a hours. An ideal
curd should be firm, smooth, marble
like, free from holes or gas bubbles,
and should show little or no separa-
ton of the whey. 1t should have q
clean, sharp, soul or acid flavor.
4. Select the sample that most close
" meets those conditions and propa-
gate it; discarding the others. The
selected sample is propagated as fol-
lows:
(a) Clean thoroughly and boil for
five minutes a quart jar, the top, and
a teaspoon.
(b) Fill the jar with freshly drawn
milk, cover loosely, heat slowly to boil
ing, and ~pasteurize by boiling gently
for 80 minutes.
(c) Cool the milk to Is degrees Fab
renheit and add a teaspoonful of r
died milk described in section 3 and
set away to curdle at that tempera-
ture.
(d) Propagate the starter from day
to day in the same manner described
in a, b and c.; The starter de-
scribed in c is the n to use for
ripening the cream, and should be add
ed in such quantities as to be one
tenth to one-ffth Of the cream to be
churned.

When Planning Brick Building.

The choice of brick is a difficult mat
ter TO advise. Avoid brick likely to
discoloration through presence of salts
in the clay. Brick should be hard
burned, impervious TO water and non
ab~sorptive. Do not judge Of the effect
of brick from a sample held in the
hand. Go and see some building in
which the brick in question has been
used. In purchasing brick make sure
that the same size and color are likely
to be in stock for some time. This
may prevent trouble in case of later
alterations.
