 Miss Viola Tree, well known Eng fish lecturer, however, does not share Lady Balfour's views regarding the girl of today. Arguing that the most criticised girls today were the stage girls. she declared they were worked too hard to have any time for ex- cesses. For comradeship and mutual self-help, she said, there was nobody like the chorus girl. Instead of steal- ing down to the telephone fin her night dress to talk to a young man, the girl of today orders her mother to have a fire in the drawing room.

while provisions have been made here
for the expansion of existing indus
try as well as for new industry, the
question is raised as to how much
new industry should be encouraged
iE the federal Capital.
'The recent creation by the zoning
commission, D. c., of a district where
the erection of apartment houses is
prohibited was strongly supported by
home owners on the grounds of pro-
lection of property and health. How
much more true Is 1t that one garage
on a residential block may destroy
dences. In the preservation of the
morale of a neighborhood, in the
pride of home ownership, in the Sc
curity of land values, and in the full
enjoyment of home property, the
value of zoning is so well recognized
that it needs no defense.
Actual experience with Zoning
regulations has brought to light cer-
tain striking facts.
1T Is stated on reliable authority
that the New York zoning regulations
have prevented vast depreciation in
many districts and effected savings
in values amounting to millions of
dollars in esta blished sections. Ger
tain districts have been rehabilitated
as a direct result of the zoning ordi-
nance. Another Interesting result
has been the production of a type of
high building believed to be far bet
ter than the former elongated match
box type.

tend to follow the residence district
and do not even attempt to seek To-
cations in Industrial or unrestricted
areas. Except commercial buildings,
which were built partly in COM
mercial and partly in Industrial dis
tricts, the development of ST. Louis
is said to be fitting itself very closely
to the zoning plan.

"A distinguished architect of New

and, at the same time, traffic is con-
