The eleemosynary institute does poor

because they are without their poor, their

Latin America" said DR.. Rowe, got a
different start from that of the United States
in city building. From the standpoint OF
ground plans and architecture their munici-
palities are better thought out. They were
not allowed to grow up haphazard as have
many American cities. The city beautiful
idea was in existence from the very begin
ming.
Latin American towns are well laid ut.
The sites of public buildings are carefully
selected. They are strategically located from
the standpoint Of being seen to advantage.
They are not crowded into narrow streets.
Latin America has learned much from the
French in this respect. The percentage of
the influential citizens who have studied in
France is very large. They are not provin-

The present generation is particularly an

"Quite the contrary in Latin America.
Most Of the republics to the south have poets
of national reputation upon whom all the
people look with admiration. The fact
that one Of these poets is composing new

There is much to be said in favor of the
family life Of Latin America. The ties
of kinship are much more binding there

CONVENIENTLY many evidences Of busi-

willingness to strike sfeld, TO Try the thing
for which there is no precedent. One Of the
smaller countries, for instance, found that
virtually all its FIRE insurance was being
handled by foreign companies. Thus the
money was going abroad. 1t believed that
the rates were unduly high. So the govern
ment determined to write FIRE insurance for
its own citizens. II placed the rate at just
half those they had been paying. Naturally
Il rot all the insurance. Despite the lov

1.-The municipality has complete control
over new construction. Your ownership Of
a lot on a certain street does not give you
the right to put up any sort of house you
want to on IT. The plan for q prospective
house must be submitted to the authorities.
They consider the plan without reference to
its surroundings and determine whether or
not il is acceptable. II it is they study IL
