There seems to be the greatest aver

the country. The very last word in
perfection of an article has come to
be a certificate that 1t has not been
touched by human hands. The insist
ance has reached the world Of hotels.
After the most active inventors at
large have devoted their energies to
the development Of culinary equip
ment for modern hotels, first obtain
ing the most sanitary machinery, and
second. in as much labor saving as
possible. The Hotel Commonwealth.
now being built, has added this final
stroke to its achievements. Those en-
gagged in designing its kitchens will be
able TO guarantee the patrons, who
will be It's cooperative owners, that
none Of the food they eat has been
touched by those human hands. AS
the hotel dining rooms will serve more
than 10000 meals a day, this elimina-
ton of the personal element is prob
ably happily regarded by the chefs.

Adequate means of communica-
ton between home and industry,
one industrial region and another,
are indispensable to a communfsy.
But transportation itself, unless
worked out in connection with a
recognized plan of control by zon-
ing, will fall short of its require
ments and cannot help but be I'M
economical; for all local transpor-
tation is related to the streets, and
the street system is bound up with
the type of occupancy on the
ground Transportation does not
deal with small. unrelated districts
its lines stretch out for miles.
This is one OF the many reasons
for comprehensive coming; that is,

Public Health Value.
The importance OF coming on the
public health in its relation to the

that the latter be also provided
and safeguarded. While questions
of intensive land development are
not acute in small towns, they
should be considered in forming a
safe background in the study OF
coming problems.
In the outer districts OF a town
considerations of freedom and re-
pose OF sunlight, of air and Gea-
eral well-being must control the
residential areas. where the life IS
lived regularly year in and year
out by the workers of city.
All these considerations lead up
to that of a fine city, an essential
element in the welfare of our popu-
lation. For no matter how We may
think of economic conditions, deep
down at the root of the entire mat
ter is the essential consideration OF
beautiful surroundings, which by.
their nature are the highest civiliz-
ing agency.

fixed by coming. Professor Charles
E. Merriam OF the University of
Chicago in 1916 exhibited records
to show that $50 per cent of all

mixed residence and business or

But it is not always necessary that

a controlling factor.

Concentration is of great eco

Zoning. then, is a matter of vital
economic necessity.
Zoning controls by ordinance the
use to which private property is
put, the height to which buildings
can be built, and the percentage. of
the lot area they can occupy.
But the most salient feature of
coming is the determination of the
use of districts. The first purpose
of coming being to promote the
prosperity and welfare of the city,
it is necessary to create conditions
favorable to industrial enterprise,
to the facilitation OF business and
to the improvement of living con-
ditions, which in a broad sense may
be said to result from the proper
ordering of the industrial and COM
mercial districts. A thorough study
of existing conditions, therefore. is
necessary in order that the provis-
ions of the future may rest on a
sound basis, and be consistent with
the best development of the city as
q whole.

aCcomplishes in this protection
something which no other agency
has ever been able to do. Frontage
consents and temporary provisions

makeshifts in this regard.

on all public properties and utili-
ties, sewage, lighting and water

factors OF streets, transportation.

DOGS AND TOGS GROW DAILY

Wire Haired Breeds and Snappy Tweeds Are Splendid

Whether YOU are buying u new

Time was, and not so many years

informal than serve or cheviot.
And in those days smooth. haired
pug dogs, silky span!els, dainty little
Griffons were the accepted favorites
of the canine world
But rough dogs and rough togs
have been creeping on us gradually
for several years.

Sometimes the three-piecc suit is

but most frequently it consists of a

While tweeds are in the limelight,

ideal for the three-piece suit.
