MERE UTILITY NOT ENOUGH
Designers Of "Main Streets" Should
Get to Realize the Value Of
Appearances.

We spend our young years grubbing
for dollars, and whom we succeed in
making our pile, IL we do succeed, we
are too tired and too unframed to en-
Joy 1t.
Some day we will wake up to the
fact that beauty pays.
We need not abandon work and go
to loafing. 1t is just as necessary, and
adds just as much to the rational en-
joyment Of life, to have beautiful
place to work in as to have beau
tiful place to play in, or to worship
In.
The main trouble with Main street is
that it Is hideous.
The store fronts are not attractive.
The men who put them up did not care
how they looked. All they wanted was
place, secure from the rain, where
they could sell hardware and grocer
les. And all the people want that visit
them is place where they can get
stove or can Of corn.
That is why the young people hate
the place" That is why they leave it
as soon as they are old enough. At
least, that Is very important con-
tributing reason.
That Is also one of the reasons why
we have so little civic pride. We have
little to be proud Of.
We ought to realize that even from
the standpoint Of efficiency people do
better work when they are in conduc-
i've surroundings.
A large eastern manufacturing com
pany has no strikes. 1t has never had
any labor trouble. If you visit the
place you will see why.
The factories are beautiful. They
are largely of glass. The workers
work amid beautiful surroundings.
They are not only well paid, they are
treated as human beings. All around
the work buildings, engine houses,
stables and warehouses are beds of
flowers, smooth lawns, graveled roads.
And vast park is at hand where the
workers can picnic.
90 to another factory, one that I
have especially In mind, where they
manufacture steel products. Its huge,
blackened walls look like state
prison. The fire and smoke belching
from its chimneys look like hell. The
homes of the work people are novels.
There are no flowers, no trees, no
lawns; only dirty. cluttering yards,
goats and battered tomato cans. They
have plenty of labor troubles there.
This, of course, does not mean that
you can satisfy laborers by giving
them posies, but it does mean that
beauty helps.
For the company that provides
beauty shows that it realizes that 1t Is
dealing with human beings and not
with cattle.--Chicago Herald and Ex-

"What was the nature of the bargain

the lawyer.

1t was the only chance remaining. The
jury might believe her.
Suddenly there leaped into Payne's
mind the overwhelming conviction that
Bowyer was at the back Of the muir
der. Nothing else could explain his
vindictiveness. He learned that Kitty
was recovering, and, before returning
to inform Wilton, he had the impulse
to 60 to Jim Belts quarters. He want
ed to see the only man who still be-
lieved in Wilton's innocence.
At Belts home he was told that the
old man had left Clayton two weeks
before, and had not yet returned.
Payne made his way slowly back to
the Jail. He had to uphold his faith
alone-his faith in an acquittal. 1t
was the hardest job he had ever had

The Closing Of the Trap.
Payne was struggling with his per-
plexities about a month before the
date set for the trial when Jim Belts
and Kitty came to his Office. Kitty
sobbed out her story, while Payne lis
tened In utter amazement
"Why did you do this, Mrs. Bos-

her to the end.
Because love Will and wanted to
help him." she answered.
you are willing to tell this story in
the witness-box just as you've told it
to me?"
II will" cried Kitty. "Tf 1t will
save Will--if it's needed to save him."
AS the day of the trial drew nearer
Payne knew Wills case was desperate.
Public opinion was inflamed against
him, and Bowyer's skillful campaign
had borne rich fruits.

to clear his own reputation for laxity
