wv ILL the cities of the fu-
" ture become mere indus
trial centers surrounded
by suburban homes?
This is a possibility which is
made the more apparent by the
influence the automobile is hav-
ing on city and country life.
A recent survey by the Ameri-
can Automobile Chamber of
Commerce. in sixty large cities
throughout the country, shows
that 135. 900 automobile owners
drive to these cities daily from
surrounding towns. By the same
ratio. it is estimated, 100000 au-
tomObile owners have been living
beyond the boundaries of the city
in which they do their business.
Bureau of Census officials at
Washington say the tendency
nowadays is for cities to expand
in area, rather than increase
their population within former
boundaries.
It is all a result of quick and
easy transportation, say auto
mobile authorities.

 pre-war predecessors.
 1 The king and queen will have Windsor castle which is close to As- cot Heath. full Of guests all the week and if the weather holds good their majesties will follow the usual cus- tom of heading the procession of state carriages from the dukes drive in the castle to the race course. This is one of the features of the meeting.
 There will be semi-state dinners each evening at the castle. Members of society also plan to entertain their guests on a lavish scale at their near by residences.
 In contrast to derby week which is an outing for the masses the As- cot meeting is almost exclusively a society function.
 Tn consequence of the death of Princess Christian the kings aunt, several members of society will wear black and white gowns similar to Queen Mary's attire at the recent courts.
 A number of valuable prizes the stakes will be contested for in the racing. These include the royal hunt cup and the Ascot stakes.
