IN FIGHT FOR CIVIC BEAUTY
Commercial Interests Of Kansas City
Unite for War on Billboards
on Boulevards.

The commercial interests OF Kansas
City have gone on record as enemies
OF the "uglies."
The city planning and public build
ings committee Of the chamber OF com
merce adopted resolution, taking q
definite stand against "the encroach-
ment OF either filling stations or bill
boards IN the city's boulevards and
homes"
The resolution stated that the cham.
her members are heartily I'm accord
with and desire To lend their moral
support to the Joint resolution of the
two houses Of the council to the effect
that filling stations and blllboards
should not be permitted to destroy the
effect of Kansas City's boulevard sys-
TEN.
After protracted discussion the
committee declared in favor Of 10
cal option" on the uglies. BY that
was meant that each neighborhood be
permitted to decide whether blllboards
or filling stations should be allowed to
locate In that vicinity. The residents
whose homes are within view, or with
In close proximity of the ugly. should
have voice in denying or permitting
Its location, the committee members
believed.
BlIlboards In certain localities are
not Objectionable II properly con-
structed and lighted, in the opinion OF
the committeeman. But their place Is
not In residence nelghborhoods or on
boulevards, they agreed.

House Painting.

When the home owners thoughts
turn to house painting problems Cal
ifornians. particularly. begin to won
der what color will be best for the
movies. A location director for mo-
tlon pictures In Hollywood. Cal, says
that white houses are almost impos-
sible for use In motion pictures and
he hopes the people within the area
of the picture industry will use neu-
trail or dark shades when they do their
house painting.
'Darker shades are more agreeable
TO the eye than those Of dazzling white
ness" so this movie director says, land
they photograph better, In addition to
blending with the natural colors OF
the landscape"
An-white houses are also hard on
the eyes.

ic0D ROADS SAVE MUCH GAS
Trucks Use Twice az Much Fuel on
Dirt Highways as on One
Built Of Concrete.

That good roads cut the cost of
gasoline more than 80 per cent 10
stated by Freight Transportation Di-
gest." A loaded two-ton truck was
used In u test and In running 100
miles on al earth road consumed 17.3
gallons of gasoline. making an aver.
age Of 5.7S miles q gallon. The cost
figured at % cents a gallon was S4.33.
The same truck was used on con-
crete road and travelled the same dis
rance on $40 gallons OF gasoline, max
ing Ills miles per gallon. The cost
In this case. figured on the same
basis. was $2.12. The net savings In
cost Of gasoline on the improved high
way was therefore $2.21, or more than
100 per cent.
Statlsticians could step In here and
conJure colossal sum TO represent
the savings In gasoline cost II all the
highways of the United States were
paved, remarks the Columbus (O.)
Dispatch. They could for instance,
assume that all Of the ore-half million
motortrucks In the country were two
ton trucks, and on this basis figure
out saving In gasoline costs equal to
couple Of Liberty loan issues.
This enormous reduction In gasoline
costs, coupled with the ability to
handle loads with less fractional eff.
fort, has become one Of the strongest
arguments for good roads. The two
test cited In tbis instance show con-
cluslvely that poor roads are expen-
sive to the farmer and merchant alike
The farmer who bauls with motor
truck is getting only one-eighth of the
profit he could get and the merchant
and lnter-city freight truck operator
are paying out twice what they should
for gasoline and are getting only one
eighth of the profit they could get.

For several minutes the young man

beauty Mot Matter Of gxpense.

Beautiful grounds need not be ex'
pensive. The loveliest flowers and
plants that ever grew are found In
the woods and along the banks of
streams, In fence corners, and In fields
and shady hooks. They are yours for
the digging. What is rarer or prettler
than a bed of wild violets and ferns
In a shady spot near the house? Plant
generously OF perennlals, so that they
will bloom and grow year after year
with little time and attention and give
stability to your landscape effects.
