That twice around an elephants

done by placing rope around the ami

multiplying the length so obtained by

a quarter of an inch or so more, but
never less than the exact height.

LOOK TO FUTURE EXPANSION
Civic Bodies of Kansas City Are Show
ing Spirit Well Worthy of
Emulation.

Just how valuable it may be to pre-
pare for the orderly development of
city industrially is indicated in
piece of work which is now being
undertaken by the city-planning COM
mission and the chamber of commerce
of Kansas City. The industrial depart
ment of the chamber aims to make
a survey of industrial conditions in
Kansas City which it may use in it's
own work, and the planning commits
sion will seek much additional data
through the survey which may be used
to excellent purpose by various COM
mittees Of the commission, by the in
dustries themselves and by other
agencies concerned with the most bust
nesslike and systematic expansion OF
the entire city.
What the planning commission de-
sires to ascertain in this respect is
just what the most progressive and
far-seeing business man would have
in order to make possible the best
development of his interests. The
commission already has committees
at work obtaining facts about KANSAS
City's present status and probable fu-
ture expansion in respect to CONNER
cial, residential and industrial dis
tricts; recreation facilities, highways
and transportation conditions; and it
has prepared a basic map which
makes coming of the city possible. But
the necessity of obtaining such facts
as these about the city's industries,
as well as the value of the facts, is
at once evident:
What industries has the city?
What is likely to be the expansion
of these periods of ten, twenty or
thirty years?
Where will the expansion be?
What additional industries is Kansas
City likely to have?
Where will they be placed?
Where will the additional employees
live?

School Gardens.

Is there ground available for school
gardens? Some schools have rented
vacant lots and fields near the school
house for their gardens and have sue
ceeded in earning money on them,
which has been used for other school
projects or equipment. certain
school has an orchard of 100 trees, in
which the children are given practical
instruction on the care of fruit trees;
the profit from the sale of the fruit
goes to the school; and the orchard
serves as a model for the community.
Is it possible or advisable in your
school to have gardens and orchards
so managed that they will make sub
stantial contributions to the upkeep
Of various school activities, and at
the same time provide valuable practi-
cal laboratory training for the pupils?
This is a community problem, which
may be solved best, perhaps, by gen.
eral discussion.

"TACTILlSM" THE LATEST ART
Pictures Can Be "Seen" by Touch, 10
Declaration Made by Inventor
Of New Fad.

Among the things that "have their
day and cease to be- artistic extrav-
agances hold a prominent place. The
wild vagaries of impressionists, GU
bists and futurists one by one eclipse
what has gone before.
"Tactilism" Is the name of a new
"art" invented by Signor Marinetti, the
Italian futurlst, who, recently, to a
large audience of painters, art critics
and society people in Paris, explained
its principles. 1t is method of con-
veying impressions through the sense
of touch, (which has hitherto been
neglected by the arts"
Marinetti told how he had tried to
establish series Of conventions,
which could be easily learned, by
which different touches would bring
forth definite ideas. For instance,
something rough, spiky and hot to the
touch would give the idea of the
Sahara. The seas would be conjured
up by something smooth and cold, like
silver paper, and Paris by mixture
of silk and velvet 1t is an evidence
Of the readiness Of the day to take
up anything new that this adventur-
Gus futurist pioneer is now the lion Of
the season. He intends to be in Paris
for some weeks, but has already re-
ceived so many invitations to attend
fashionable receptions and evening
parties that he confesses that he hard
ly knows how to cram in all his ap-
pointments.

Use of Peat as Fuel.

Few have realized that peat might
replace coal and break to large eX-
tent the dependence of some of the
northern states upon distant coal
mines.
For several months a Minneapolis
company has been engaged in the prep
aratiOn of peat for fuel, said to be the
only enterprise of its kind in the coun-
try. A machine has been perfected that
digs, macerates and spreads out to dry
100 tons of wet peat in a day, or a
quantity sufficient to produce 100 tons
of dry fuel. That's how much peat
contracts in the drying process. One
man operates the machine.
During the summer the machine was
operated on bog near Minneapolis,
and peat, prOcessed at the University
of Minnesota, was burned with salts
factory results in a Minneapolis office
building.
A crusher plant, with a capacity Of
500 tons of peat day, has been built
in Minneapolis during the winter to
produce powdered peat, and in the
spring ten peat digging machines are
to be started on the Minnesota boys.

"City Plan" Works Well.

The city plan has been tried In
many cities with success. st. Louis
and Milwaukee are examples. Un-
der such a plan the city does not re-
peat obvious mistakes. At present
the man who builds home has no
assurance that a filling station will
not be his next-door neighbor tomor-
row. He may move into another dis
trict and later see factory shut OF
his light and air. The city plan idea,
summed up, is that there is place
for everything and that everything
should be in Its place. The only way
that idea can be made effective is
through laws giving the planners the
legal right to act.-Exchange.
