NEW CITY IS NOT bUILDED BY HANDS, y
 R0TARIAN STATES
Address Given Before WO. mems Club Federation
 Meet

Allen D. Albert of Chicago, spe- cialist in city development and form erly president of the International Association of Rotary Clubs, ad- dressed the Federation of Women's clubs held in Des Moines recently on "The New City Not Builded by Hands"
 "There is coming into America a new hope" he said. Since men first came together, since Adam and Eve played in the Garden of Eden, the community is coming to be a unit. All the cities in the world prior to 1850, practically belonged to the rich. In the English speaking coun- tries of the world today, however, for the first time, they are being managed for the whole body of their residents"
 MT. Albert pointed out that the professional, business and other non- laboring elements, constitute but 2 per cent of the community's popu- lation. "Nniety- three per cent" he declared, "are mechanics, draymen, street car men, skilled and common laborers. And if your city is not made for these 93 per cent, in it's rivalry with other cities of the coun- try it is wreck"
 Big Majority "Clean.'
 For proof that the great majority ot people in every community, those represented by the 93 per cent of which he spoke, are those "whom God keeps sweet and pure," as a re- buke to the other per cent. MT. Albert related his experiences in q number of cities, where upon in- vestigating the most intimate desires and wishes of the common people. he found that almost invariably they craved an opportunity for edu- eating their children and a clean. wholesome place in which to rear them.
 He also pointed out how the Nor mons had developed in a. high degree the proper absorption of the recrea- tional hours of the children and grownups, which, he declared. had a most wholesome effect on the entire community.
 Neighborliness and the inherent need for it, was MT. Albert's expla- nation for the emigration of people from the farms to the cities. An opportunity for the members of women's clubs to assist in bringine about favorable conditions in every
