Confederate Captain Liues to
Deny His Demise.

Richmond, Va.-How Capt. J. J.

60 years after his death" is being
told by Capt. w. Frank Smyth, state
accountant, who as ten-year-old
youth was detailed to inform the fam
lily of the casualty.
Captain Geisler died recently at
ninety-three. While leading his com
pany of Confederate cavalry In brisk
encounter near Lynchburg 60 years
ago, two Federal soldiers whacked him
across the forehead with their sabers,
making a complete cross. The report
spread that he had no chance to re-
cover and his death was accepted as
fact.

Eight Adrift at Sea
So Hours in Ydtul

Boston.-A story of shipwreck, long
exposure in an open boat, hunger and
thirst, was told by Mrs. L. B. Bishop
of Maiden, sea-going wife of the skip
Der of the schooner Susan B.
With Miss Katherine Woodwork,
her eighteen-year-old niece, Captain
Bishop, John Bishop, their son, who
was the schooner's mate, and three
members of the crew, the sixty-year-
old woman, who had been at sea for 81
years, was landed here after her first
shipwreck, by the steamer City of At
lanta, which had picked up the party
from yawl Off the Virginia capes.
The seven, huddled in the open boat
for 90 hours, with food destroyed by
salt water, attracted the attention of
their rescuers by waving a blanket.
Three times other vessels passed them,
their lookouts failing to see them.
1--WE could not have stood it much
longer" Mrs. Bishop said
Stories that Miss Woodwork had
kept the spirits Of the shipwrecked
ones alive by song had preceded her
ashore. But this she disclaimed.
How could one sing under such cir
cumstances? But we did try to be
brave" was her remark.

Must Look to Future

I've always believed that city plan
ming was unworthy of the name unless
it provided for the future of the city
in question and therefore really came
under the heading of regional plan
ming. writes Myron II. West, president
of the American Park Builders.
The first city to take advantage OF
the new law regarding the sections
outside municipalities was Decatur.
which caused to be prepared a COM
prehensive city and regional plan pro-
viding for the plotting of 10000 acres
in addition to the 1000 acres con-
tanned within the city limits. This ex-
tended area will take off an added pop
ulation of 100000.
1 believe that the very foundation
of city planning lies in comprehensive
zoning and in street control, as made
possible under the recent Illinois act.

BY ROBERT LA MAR

Day by day engineers of the various
radio manufacturing corporations are
making improvements in circuits that
have been standard for many years.
Occasionally one of them stands out so
prominently that 1t becomes an i'm
portant factor In the industry. The
kompentrol, the trade name of a new
tuned radio frequency receiver, comes
under this heading.
The performance of the receiver, one
that employs five tubes, Is very much
superior TO many others in this cate
CORY. This is a broad statement which
unquestionably will arouse some dis.
sension, but it is based on rigid COM
parative tests conducted by the writer
In various localities, some of them the

The new set consists of two stages

performance of the set Is.

Well to Prouide Nou
for Future of City

American cities, with their present
rapid growth and the increasing de-
mand for homes away from the crowd
ed section, are constantly breaking
over their boundary lines and over
flowing into new territory The march
of an urban population into the region
still under the township authority
brings some large problems. Haphaz-
ard development of the outlying terri
tories, plots laid out without refer
ence to the way in which they con-
form to the city's plan of arterial
streets, residence lots parceled out far
from water and sewer connections,
hampering of the semi-urban territory
by legal restrictions as to township ex-
penditure framed to meet the needs Of
purely rural township, these are
some Of the growing pains Of suburban
territories.
The creation of metropolitan areas,
or districts, Is the device which mod
.ern cities have evolved to aid in the
adjustment of these difficulties. The
National Association Of Real Estate
Boards Will undertake study OF now
far American cities have devised sue
cessful plans for the development of
suburban territories through metro
politan areas and will hold national
formidable discussion of subdividers
looking to the encouragement Of work
able plans and toward the spread Of
such methods of subdivision develop
ment as will make for sound and
healthy city growth.

Citizens Must Be Alert

Concern with the problem of city
government is not confined to students
of municipal affairs. 1t is shared by
the people of the cities. Those who
must bear the burden of city govern
ment in the payment of taxes are be-
ginning to realize their chief hope for
the future lies in more economical
and efficient administration of their
affairs. 1t would be wholesome
change if there should come the reali-
cation, too, that whatever the system
of government. persistent and alert
public interest in its administration Is
necessary to effective results.-Ex-

Group Aids Beauty

AS general rule, more beauty and
dignity is the result of planting a
group of one kind of tree instead of
mixing them I am not here speak
ing about forest or woodland planting,
but about planting along our high
ways. Where the adjacent landscape
is not interesting, the roadside pic
ture would be enhanced by promis-
cuous planting of trees, not in for
NAL line, but In scattered way, so
that you meet many trunks in place
for a lane of trees, shutting off the
view of the adjoining country.-Ex-
