Just how few pairs of shoes can we
get along with this summer? That's
the question that women are called
upon to settle for themselves, now
that wartime economy calls for re-
trenchment on all sides. Secretary
McAdoo says he has his shoes half
soled when they need it-and appears
to be proud of 1t, recommending this
course to every one else. Leaving out
house slippers and evening slippers
that need not come in the reckoning at
all, three pairs of good shoes will see
one through. This will seem an i'm
possibly slim allowance TO the woman
who usually buys from six to twelve
pairs, but three pairs will answer.
There is no economy in having only
one pair of street shoes, because they
wear much longer and look much bet
ter when two pairs are worn alter
nately. Shoe trees keep them in good
shape when they are not In use and
are as necessary TO shoes as hangers
are to coats and frocks.

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

While the community idea In this
country should not exactly be called
negative expression, its development
to date hardly warrants terming 1t
positive enterprise.
Concerning this movement Noble
Fost Hagen says:
THE garden city and town-pianting
movement has reached the highest
point of effectiveness in England and
has proved something more than sue
cessful experiment.
"The model villages Of Letchworth,
Port Sunlight, Bournville, which pro-
vide homes, real homes, for working
neoDle. 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 vine
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. seif-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 has
been for q number of manufacturers to
give serious thought to the furthering
of the garden city movement. The con-
gestion in our large cities, contrary to
all natural laws, has about reached Its
limit. We can no longer excuse our
selves for past errors in town plan
ming on the theory that this is young
country. New towns are being laid out
today with the same pitiful lack of
constructive imagination as hereto
fore; paralleled streets, giving the as
pect of great, ugly checkerboard no
civic centers, no Fairgrounds, INSULT
Gent parks.
THE garden cities that are destined
to bloom in America and that are to
be the result OF movement fathered
bv American industrial institutions,
should be equal. IL not superior, to any
like developments anywhere in the
world
The Monticellonian., 1918-05-31
REASON FOR CITY PLANNING
Allows for That Development Sure to
Be the Lot of Town That Has
Live People.


City planning IS the economy of ae-
ton to-day that lnsures 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. II doubles in somewhat less
than seventeen years. II viii, at its
present rate of growth, reach million
and a quarter in a third of century.
Even this rate of growth may be ex-
eeeded
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
portation needs.

Provost Marshal General Crowder

deals with the great question of COM

also to gamblers of all description and

clairyoyants, palmists and the like,
who for the purpose of the regulations
shall be considered as idlers.

Indians on the Prairies.

That the prairies of the West were
not peopled by Indians until after the
coming of the white man was the
theme of an article by DR.. f. ii. Storms

tribes of the plains lived by buffalo
hunting; buffalo hunting was not pos.

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
uosorptive. DO not judge of the effect
of brick from 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
