Improve City Plans
Great Public Need

Good planning for cities and for
closely built towns and villages is
not primarily a matter Of aesthet-
les, but of economics. The laying
out of most American cities has
been casual and thoughtless of fu-
ture needs. The common rectangu-
lar layout without any well con-
sidered diagonals causes a great
daily waste of human and animal
labor and OF fuel, while high build
ings, narrow streets and lack of
open spaces make it impossible to
keep the cities well aired and well
summed. To improve or reform the
layout of most American cities is
therefore a great public need, not
only for beauty's sake, but for the
sake of the health, efficiency and
happiness OF their people.-Charles
W. Eliot.

JOINT OWNERSHIP
OF APARTMENTS
NOT EXPERIMENT
Was Put in Successful
Practice Abroad Many
Years Ago.

The housing crisis throughout the
entire country has brought forward
many suggestions for solving the
problem.
One plan that has been strongly
advocated by many prominent citi-
Zens and realty men that has the
advantage Of not only meeting all
the demands but combining with 1t
thrift. economy and the assurance
of a permanent home is the Coop
erative apartment ownership plan
which entirely eliminates the land
lord bugaboo.
Much has been said for and
against the plan which many people
are of the opinion is an experiment.
Cooperative apartment owner
ship is not an experiment and Is not
new. Years ago the idea was put
in practice abroad. In this coun-
try 1t has been reduced to science in
New York City, where millions of
dollars worth of cooperative build
ings have been built during the last
Twelve or hIteen years tnaI nave
not only been successful in every
respect but have yielded a hand
some profit to the joint owners.
Under the cooperative plan the
objects are first and foremost a per-
manent residence in which are en-
bodied in every room the owners
individual ideas as to floor plan and
treatment These features. together
with many other distinct advan-
tages, make the high class cooper
ative building far more desirable
than the ordinary apartment house.
Many New Workers. who had the
courage and foresight to invest
their money in this class of home a
few years ago are not only living
in large, lux Irious apartments prac-
tically rent free, but when they de-
sired to sell did so at handsome
profits, in many cases double the
initial cost.
At recent meeting of realty men,
the matter was discussed at length
and 1t was the consensus Of opinion
that the cooperative plan was
growing in favor daily.

WANTED BESSEMER
 MAN APPOINTED

Resolutions authorizing F. M. Wheeler. superintendent of the county roads. to appoint a Bessemer man as warden at convict camp No. which is located at Bessemer, was introduced at the meeting of the board of revenue yesterday by Lacey Edmundson.
 It was pointed out by Mir. Ed mundson that on account of tho slump in business conditions and the large number of industrial plants in that section of the county being down there was much unemployment there and these men being residents of Bessemer would naturally take more interest in the camp.
 He stated that recently the warden at this camp resigned and that man from the eastern end of the county was sent down there to fill the place and in his opinion the vacancies at this camp should be given to men in that end of the country. The resolution was lost however, for failure to get second.

Alaban1a Women Eager to
 See Miss Bina West Named

Alabama members of the woman's Benefit association, of which Mrs Pearl H. Croy is state commander, have entered enthusiastically into the effort to secure the appointment by President Harding-~of Miss Bina M. West of Port Huron, Mich, as a mem- Der of the advisory conference com mittee on the limitation of armament.
 The president is expected to name committee of about 15 who will serve in an advisory capacity to the nations delegates in the disarma- ment conference. Mrs. Croy and other officers and members of the Ala bama organization have already been in touch with senators Underwood and Heflln and Congressman Huddle- ston to secure their indorsement.
 The local members are very proud of the recognition that has been given Miss Vests abilities" said Mrs. Croy yesterday. "She Is perhaps the best known woman in the United States. In addition to being commander of the National Womans Benefit associa- ton, she is past president of the Fraterna1 Congress. which represents SOHlt orUUV,VUU CltiZcHS. AS SupTenle commander of our organization, she has built 1t up to a membership of over 250, 900.
 "In, her work she has never been associated with a faction, and she is not a theorist. and these points are expected to count strongly in> favor of her appointment by President Harding.
 During 30 years she has had re- markedly broad experience with big problems. She has handled vast financial matters: she has for years been identified with commercial and business life, while she has written extensively on health. education and kindred subjects. Those who know her best regard her as the best qual- by the President for the important work of the advisory committee"
 Miss Vests own attitude toward the appointment Is summarized in the following statement:
 T appreciate the fact that my friends are recommending me to President Harding as eligible to serve as a member on the committee which he is appointing to confer with rep resentatives of other nations of the world on the question of limitation of armament. If he finds that my eX- perience would be of any value to the country at this time 1t would be very great honor and privilege to serve. I sincerely hope. however, that all will bear in mind that this isl a matter for President Harding to de- eide. We al, have unbounded confi- dence in his judgment and stand ready to support his conclusions. We ap- preciaite the constructive effort which he is making to find working basis at the forthcoming conference for solution of this great problem"
