CITY PLANNING IN cLARKSBURC.

HARRISBURG is another West Virginia city in
~ which the city planning idea has been taken up, and
at the Eks club of that city Thursday expert city plan
ner will give talk to the citizens under the auspices of the
Rotary club and is hoped at that time to launch full
aedged city planning movement.
That city is now making preparations to spend million
dollars on municipal Improvements and it believed that
the time ripe to call in expert advice There can be no
doubt about that but city does not have to wait until it
is preparing 10 spend million before it undertakes to con-
troll city growth so that will be along the proper lines
The time is not very far distant when it will be deemed
evidence of backwardness for city not to have complete
city plan and wide awake and energetic City Planning
commission to direct how ordinary city improvements shall
be made.
Famont has been making some progress along that line
but not as much it should to be hoped, therefore,
that the address here Thursday at the Rotary luncheon
of Flavel Shuref secretary of the National City Plan
ming conference will mark tuning point in the movement
locally and that from this out there will be more actual
ground covered
Wheeling, which took up city planning about the time
it was first launched here having city plan made now
and is getting ready to launch Greater Wheeling move
men Carksburg now that the matter has been brought
up there may be expected also to with considerable

these cities prdes itself upon being Of the most pro-
gresve communities n the country and in matter of this
kind surely wants to feel that not being oudstanced
by any other West Virginia cities.

ALlEMsM AND WEAK MAYORS.

cal pusllanimity last night when the Mayor Of New
when he found that his official order that German
opera must be sung in New York was going to be ignored
issued statement to the effect that he meant to test the
matter in court and turned his police against service men
and patriotic if misguided, citizens who sought to take the
law into their own hands Bricks and stones were hurled
heads were broken and few shots fired but luckily
10 deaths occurred And through it all the Objectionable

After a meeting of National Committee for the Or

yesterday Chairman Fitzpatrick declared that while the
third week was the critical week in the strike the strk
ers have been gaining since Naturally Fitzpatrick
does not understand his case and the plain meaning OF
this is that If there had been no prospect of arbitration
through the Industrial Conference the strike would have
ended dsastrously to the strikers in the third week
Perhaps there will be another Critical week before

of relief for the strikers through the conferences

According to figures running over period of six years
for eleven principal industries in this country the steel
workers got the largest increases But figures about
pay do not cut much of figure these days. The real
issue is the control of the industries and that it is
frankly admitted that the steel workers trying to
sovetize the industry there will be lot of people who
did not think much of the stand taken by Judge Gary
who will line up on his side. Most people feeling the
pinch of the high cost of living disposed to stay
the fence during strike for higher wages, but in
strike of this kind there are no innocent bysanders If
the radicals were to win in their effort to take the
steel mills and the mines the thing would not stop until
every last savings bank and building and loan assoc
ton fund in the country had been wiped out That is
the way it has worked in Russia and it would the

THE MICROBES sERENAoE.
A forlorn microbe met by chance
At a swagger, bactericidal dance
A proud bacilian belle. and she
Was first Of the animalcule,
OF organism saccharine
She was the protopIasmic queen,
The microscopical pride and pet
OF the biological smartest set,
And so this infinitesimal swain
Evolved a pleading, low retain:
20 lovely metamorphic germ,
What futile scientific term
Can we'll describe your many charms?
Come to these embryonic arms,
Then HE away to my cellular home
And be my little diatom!"
His epithelium burned with love,
He swore by molecules above
She'd be his own gregarious mate,
Or else he would disintegrate.
! This amorous mite of parasite
Pursued the germ both day and night,
And meath her window often played
A Darwin Huxley serenade-
And warbled to her every day
This rhizopOdical roundelay:
20 most primordial type of spore,
never met your like before,
And though a microbe has no heart
From you, sweet germ, I'll never part;
Well sit beneath some fungus growth.
