NO EXCUSE FOR ueLlNEss
Man Who Today Builds an Unattrae-
tive or Commonplace House is
Behind the Times.

There Is no excuse In these days for
building an ugly or commonplace
house. A generation ago not many
capable architects were available, es-
pecially In the western country. Even
when they were, the prevailing taste
ran to frills of turrets and jig-saw
work. The beauty Of simplicity was
not known, and the architect who
stood out for 1t often found his client
obdurate.
All that has changed. A comparison
Of the bulk Of the houses built In the
eighties and nineties with those of
more recent years will reveal how far
the country has come The number OF
competent architects has increased,
and of even greater importance, the
stock Of sound architectural ideas has
become widely diffused.
Books and magazine articles on the
subject have multiplied amazingly.
The prospective builder ought, OF
course, to avail himself Of the services
Of good architect. But even II ne
fails to do this he can fad in the pub
lie library excellent designs to meet
his needs.

viii Be Attained When Every Citizen
Realizes the Importance of His
Part of the Work.

A city sanitary, convenient, substan-
tial; where the houses of the rich
and poor are alike comfortable; where
the streets are clean and the skyline
is clear as the country air; where the
architectural excellence Of Its build
ings adds beauty and dignity to its
streets: where parks and Fairgrounds
are within the reach of every child;
where living Is pleasant, toll honorable
and recreation plentiful; where cap
ital is respected but not worshiped;
where commerce in goods is great, but
not greater than the interchange OF
ideas; where industry thriyes and
brings prosperity alike to the employ
er and employed; where education and
art have a place In every home; where
worth and not wealth gives standing
to men; where the power Of character
leads men to leadership, where in
terest In public affairs Is test OF citi-
zenship and devotion to the public
veal Is a badge of honor; where gov
eminent is always honest and efficient,
and the principles Of democracy find
their fullest and truest expression;
where the people of all the earth can
come and be blended into one commu-
nifty life, and where each generation
will vie with che past to transmit to
the next q city greater, better and
more beautiful than the last.-The Ma

City Planning pubIic's Business.

Real city planning Is neither a pri-
vate enterprise nor a move for "the
city beautiful" It Is primarily q busI-
ness enterprise and its benefits ac-
crue to the public at large. A planning
commission, with the aid both of plan
ming experts and the city government,
cannot hope to succeed In It's work
without the aid Of the public.
The fact that planning must be
made popular was emphasized at an
important session Of the realtors con-
vention. Whatever method is adopted,
a planning commission, after first care
fully preparing its plans must sell"
its ideas and aims to the people.
Though constant publicity the pub
lie must be educated to see the needs
and the benefits OF a businessllke or
dering Of the city's development, and
must be made to share the labor In
volved and to contribute to the COST
Exchange.

Stanuer lmapjnation.

Suggestions OF distances more and
more inconceiyable are feature OF
recent astronomical investigation. In
studying the parallax Of a sixth mag
nitude star, DR.. Robert Trumpler has
found a tenth magnitude star more
than eight minutes Of arc from 1t that
has the same large proper motion aud
the same parallax, and he concludes
that the two stars must undoubtedly
be connected. They are separated by
not less than 1920 times the distance
Of the earth from the sun. Revolving
In a circular orbit around common
certer, they must require hundreds of
thousands Of years to complete SIN
gle revolution, and yet they are SO re-
mote from the multitude OF other star
systems that there is no interference
with their companionship.

"Balip Lightning.

Occasionally readers report hav
Ing seen or heard of q thunderbolt
falling In some place, or an account
appears of the damage done by a
thunderbolt. Very often this can be
accounted for by certain forms Of
lightning, particularly that known as
"ball' lightning. The "balf' Is proba-
bly, an isolated sphere Of ozone gas
containing a considerable amount of
energy stored in It by the action Of
electricity during thunder storm,
which falls earthwards as a luminous
ball after q severe fash Of lightning,
and explodes with extreme violence
on nearing the earth. The energy thus
liberated is capable Of causing a the
fanlage attributed to "thunderbolts."
