Applying the Simple Life Principle

manufacturers, builders and architects
adopted one size and style in each
case, eliminating 20 numbers previous
ly made. In dealing with hollow
building tile the varieties of sizes and
weights were reduced from SO to 10.
while in. the case of metal laths sizes
and weights were reduced from lbs to
"a. covering both fat and rib-type
Iaths.
Developing the simplification process
with regard to range boilers, 13 varie-
ties were retained out of a list of 40,
which had beea revealed in the survey
of this industry.
Where there had been more than
200 various dimensions of beds,
springs and mattresses, the division
was able to bring about al agreement
of one length and four widths as
standards for this group.
And in the case of milk bottles the
divisions survey indicated 40 styles
and sizes of milk bottles, with tops
necessitating % sizes of caps. Meet
ings of those interested reduced the
styles and sizes of bottles to nine and
of caps for bottles to one.

public by Mayor Gam, after the re-

already arrived and will be installed
as soon as possible. 1t consists of
swings, see-saws, springs, slides and
other modern devices found in all
well equipped Fairgrounds.
The old fountain has been turned
into a beautiful flower garden. Flow
ers of many varities and hues have
been planted in the base and on the
top. A white light post similar in
design to those around the square,
but with only one bulb will be placed
in the center. The iron part has
been reprinted a varied green and
rivals the natural green of the plants
in beauty.
The benches are being placed
around in convenient spots. They
are all being reprinted and strength
ened. When all have been placed
the park will afford seating capaci-
ty to 200 people.
A hedge is being planted along the
walks and around the edges of the
park this will add much to the beau
ty of our park. Every week Coun-
Gilman Baldwin or Mayor Gam think
of something else to add to the beau
ty of the park. Marietta is truly
going to have "park beautiful be-
