GIRL WHO CARRIED
D0UGHNUTS TO VETS
WILL SPEAK HERE

Local Salvation Army authorities
have announced a series of special
meetings at which Envoy E. Pauline
Swartz, from the central territory
headquarters at Chicago, will be the
chief speaker. The meetings cover
a period from Aug. 20 to Sept. 4 and

doughnuts and coffee to the boys in
the front lines in France during the
World val She is a graduate of Mt.
Holyoke college and has spent six
years in evangelistic work in Japan.
She has since travelled extensively in
Europe and South America. Late in
August, 1921, Miss Swartz returned
from a long trip through the holy land
and it is expected that she will dwell
upon conditions there together with
the Bible history of the country in
her talks here.
Envoy Swartz sometimes talks on
Alaska, South America, war work and
social conditions in the near East.
Kiwanis and Rotary clubs everywhere
have heard her talks as have various
church missionary societies, Sunday
school classes, advisory boards and
jail inmates. All join in declaring her
a most interesting and forceful
speaker.

MOSCOW, Aug. II. Far greater
concessions toward a complete capt

previous decrees which restrained

tries" Turkestan is normally one Of
the largest cotton growing regions of
the world.
The decision came as a result Of
two factors-first, the Improbable
ness of government controlled indus
tries, and second, the unrest among
the population due to the revolt
against the Soviet regime which is
being led in Bokhara by Enver Pasha,
formerly commander-in-chief of he

~dessatines were sown. and this year,
in Turkastan, without Bakhara and
Khiva, where the Enver Pasha revolt
is stronger than in Turkestan, only
$4,000 dessatines were sown.
This is expected to yield about AS.

to the Russian factories about 20,

A PLANNED CITY


1t is believed that Washington, D.
c., is the most beautiful city in the
United States. This is because it was
built upon a plan.
From the standpoint of utility, 1t is
a great advantage to have city streets
laid out according to a plan, because
people can find their way about more
easily. The wider streets facilitate
traffic, adm make provision for wide
parkings and b~oulevards. Trees can
be planted according to a system of
height, position, and variety.
a well planned city has plenty of
parks located so that all may enjoy
them. Park land is set aside and sold
to no n no matter what its value it.
In the business district, property
owners should not be allowed to build
steps and show-windows upon the side
walk. In a planned city, a building
line is established for each street, and
no n is allowed to construct build
ings forward of this line.

vision among the coal operators as to
the form of their proposal for future
negotiations with the miners devel-
oped today and temporarily delayed
the work of the joint scale committee
of the operators and miners, that had
been created to consider an agreement
that might effect a partial settlement
of the soft coal strike.
After a long caucus among them
selves, the operators went directly to
the afternoon meeting with the miners
TO announce whether they had reached
any decision as to the demands. Some
operators on the committee, however,
are understood to have demanded that
any agreement should provide for ar
bitration in the future. Before they
held the caucus the operators had
been told by John L. Lewis that the
miners would not accept arbitration.
