Lord Allenby is setting out for Egypt

EXCESS.

He had more wine than he could drink,
His glass was filled UP TO the brink,
But still he kept on pouring moro
Until it ran about the floor.

Its crimson course across a book,
And what had been a mansion fine
Was tainted with the smell of wine.
LIES but glass for us TO fiji,
Poured TO excess, the contents spill; ,
In moderation men are glad
Too much of anything is bad
There is a realm where all is fair,
Enough to eat. good clothes to wear;
Lies glass holds this-of friends few
Some pleasure, and some worN to do
But who would fill the glass with Joy
The charm Of laughter would destroy
And who keeps piling up his gold,
Soon finds his treasure base and cold
What was delight becomes disgust;
When once the wine is at the top,
Good Judgment bids a man TO stop.
Life gives so much. to seek for more
But spills the treasures on the floor.

THE WAY TO PEACE IN INDIA.

ZONING SYSTEM,

In common with other cities. VIII
mington is now giving attention to
the matter Of dividing the city into
building zones, for the restriction of
certain kinds OF structures. OF vary
ing heights and characteristics, the
especial polntsin view being to guard
residential sections against unwelcome
intrusions In the form OF uncongenial
structures and those that tend to
make neighborhood unattractive.
The system is generally favored.
Great care should be exercised, how
ever. in adopting regulations for a
coming system. In some New Jersey
cities they have the system, accom-
panied by a provision prohibiting the
erection of apartment houses In some
residential sections. All kinds Of
apartments are rigldly excluded
The natural result is that In Sec
tons so guarded there are coming into
existence numerous residences that
are an eyesore by reason OF falling
into decay. They arc no longer de-
/ sirable as mere residences and the law
prohibits their conversion into family
apartments, or even their occupation
as such without alterations. Thereby
Is created a situation that Is costly
to tho owners OF such property and
an annoyance 10 the neIghborhoods
In all coming regulations such con-
ditions should not be overlooked. They
should be so framed as not to operate
in an unintelligent and restrictive
manner, TO the annoyance OF many.
