Profit In Beauty

Where villages are being made more
beautiful, the impetus has come in
nearly every case from local initiative.
Villages that have well-planned streets,
attractive recreation spots and pleas
ing approaches are nearly always in
debted for these advantages to the
energy and public spirit of some small
group of citizens. Under such inspira-
ton dump heaps have been turned
into garden spots, unsightly shacks and
dilapidated stores have been torn down
and replaced by smart substantial
business buildings, and extensive pro-
grams Of landscape gardening and tree
planting have been undertaken. Vii
lagos that have embarked on this path
are finding that beauty pays. 1t inn
proves local business and attracts tour
ist business. 1t enhances real estate
values and has a powerful influence
in raising individual standards Of eff
ticiency and enterprise.

Children Need "Hon1e''

No one is more susceptible to en-
vironment and surroundings than a
child, and it is the children who suf-
fer most when the family is trans
planted too frequently. Living in
rented quarters is quite conducive to
frequent moving, with resultant strug-
giles to find and make cOngenial
friends, to adjust oneself to different
schools and often to different methods
Of instruction, to try to find a place in
the new neighborhood. If the family
is settled in it's own home, friendships
school and church relationships can be
permanent and lifelong, and each child
feels that he has a place to fill in the
community life. He will share his
parents feeling of responsibility as
members of that community and he
will do his best to make his home town
the ''best little place on earth New

Turning American streets into hang
ing gardens by means of flower boxes
on the windows and lamp posts is re-
garded as an enterprise of doubtful
value by the civic development depart
ment of the Chamber of Commerce Of
the United States. The motive is a
very good one, but experience of cit
les where the experiment has been
tried shows that after time interest
lags in this method of Identification
and the hanging gardens take on the
aspect of an arid waste.
AS an alternative the civic develop
ment department suggested, in re-
sponse to an inquiry, that to make the
business district of American cities
more attractive attention might better
be directed to setting a better stand
ard of taste in architecture and in re-
gard to street fixtures and creating
public opinion which will demand only
that which is good.
It also recommends the appoint
ment Of special committees to advise
on facades of new buildings, pointing
to the experience Of the national capi-
tai and one or two other cities where
the local chapters of the Institute Of
Architects effectively serves that pur-
pose.

war was on. He wound up that war
by defeating the Indians at the Battle
Of OkeechObee. In 1910 he was put
in command of the southern division
of the army and moved his home to
Baton Rouge, La.
In 1916, upon the breaking out Of
Taylor was ordered to the Rio
Grande. On two successive days, he
fought and won the battles of Palo
Alto and Resaca de la Palma and
cleared the lower valley of the Rio
Grande. Next he marched to Nueve
Leon and fought a series Of battles,
ending, in the same year, with the
capture of Monterey. NOtwithstand-
ing the fact that, under orders from
his government, he had sent his best
troops to reinforce General Scott, who
was invading Mexico by the way Of
Vera Cruz, he pursued Santa Ana and
with much inferior force, defeated
that Mexican commander at the Bat
tie Of Buena Vista May %, 1847. This
important victory was followed by
the Mexican campaign of General
Scott which ended with the capture
of the City of Mexico September IA,
1847, which virtually ended the war.
Peace between the two countries was
declared February 2, 184S. This war
confirmed the annexation of Texas
and also brought into the United
States California and Nevada, most
of Arizona New Mexico and Utah and
a part Of Colorado.

ThOmpsOn's regiment Of Illinois vol
unteers was Capt. Abraham Lincoln.
Jefferson Davis (1S0S-89) was a
West Point graduate of 1928. After
the close of the Black Hawk hostili-
ties he eloped from Fort Crawford
with Sarah, the Oldest daughter of
Colonel Taylor. A little later he, as
an engineer, made a survey of the
Chicago and Calumet rivers, the fed
eral government having decided to
establish a harbOr on the west shore
for the fast-grOwing schooner traffic
Of Lake Michigan. Davis recommend
ed Calumet, his chief reason being
that Lake Calumet could be made a
land-locked harbor for the mainte-
nance of fleet to be used against
Canada. No, you will not find this in
the histories. And the trick by which
Chicago finally won over Calumet is
still another story.
Davis left the army in 1885 to be-
come a cotton planter in MiSsissippi.
In 1915 he was elected to congress.
but resigned to get into the Mexican
war as colonel of a Mississippi regi-
ment. He fought under General Tay-
lOr at Monterey at Buena Vista: In
the latter battle he displayed great
gallantry and was wounded. From
1917 to 1851 Davis was in the senate.
Then he served as secretary Of war
under President Pierce The year
1857 found him back in the senate
and in 1861 he resigned to go with
the South and to become president Of
the Confederacy.
Abraham Lincoln was twenty-three
when the Black Hawk war broke out.
He responded to the call for volun-
teers by the governor of Illinois. The
'boys" insisted upon electing him
ceDtain and away he marched. You

Today one witnesses everywhere the
Frightening up and rearrangement of
our shops Never before have such
artistic exteriOrs been planned and
such orderly interior arrangements
been witnessed.
Up to this time our shops were a
conglamoration Of the material sold.
There did not seem to be any definite
plan, whereby a customer could see the
goods to be sold to advantage. Instead
of trying to show all the goods that
might be purchased in a store, as was
formerly the custom, we find today
that the merchandise in general is
subordinate, and forms the background
of the entire store However. the spe-
cialties which it is the purpose to en-
ph2size, are shown to their best ad-
vantage, and naturally bring results.
The up-t0-date owner pays great at
tention and gives serious study to the
general architectural scheme OF his
store-the kind of floors, ceilings,
walls and columns that are employed,
and he insists that the entire arrange

the secretary Of war to establish

Zachary Taylor deserved well Of his

to Kentucky in 1885. In 1903 at the

question as to whether this leGisla-
ton should be enacted by the Domin-
ION Parliament or the Legislatures of
the different provinces. Dominion law
officers have held that the S-hour day
was a question for provincial and not
federal legislative action, and when
the question went over to the nine
provincial governments, British Co
lumbia was the only one to take
action. contingent on the rest of the
Dominion following suit.
Upon the inSiStence of labor men
the question was referred to the Su-
preme Court of Canada. which decided
that the only authority of the Domin-

the Dominion government and to ter

comprises the industrial districts. au-
rhority to legislate lies with the pro-

1t is expected that the Trades and

the stand that the Dominion govern
ment should enact legislation for an

ton as defined by the Supreme Court
ruling, which, it is argued. would lead
the way to similar action by the

 Robbery developments point to the likelihood that Richardson, Burns and Watson, the other trio of escaped prisoners were close to the scene of the holdup.
 Capt. Hedges recommended that Pa trolmen Rush and Sands, who cap- tured the prisoners, be cited for brav- cry. They captured Rush and John son in woodshed after a pistol duel. Sands captured Tanning by crawling under a house after him, using a small flashlight to discover his mans whereabouts.

MOST DELEGATES JOURNALISTS IN
 FORMER YEARS
FRENCH DEBT MISSION DELE GATES COMPOSED OF NEWS
 PAPER MEN

PARIS, Oct. i. (P)-Most of the del egates accompanying Joseph Caillaux minister of finance, on the French debt mission, now in the United States, are, or have been journalists; ma- 1 jority of them have been and still are lawyers.
 Henry Berenger, who ranks next af- ter the minister of finance, has been director of at least three papers in Paris during we'll filled career and has found time to write four novels of a political and philosophical turn. He is senator from Gaudeloupe, and an active member of the budget and na- val committee of the senate
 Senator Paul Dupuy is a distinguish ed journalist rather than a legislator. He owns Petit Parisien, the paper which has the largest circulation in the world-1,7 ,750,OOO to 2,OOOOOO copies la day. He is an enthusiastic friend of the United States and his wife is an American.
 Vincent Auriol, socialist deputy and until recently chairman of the appro- priations committee of the chamber of Deputies, is also a journalist in the French deception of the term, that is to say he occasionally contributes to the papers of socialist opinion. He is lawyer also and now one of the guiding hands of the socialist party
 The Marquis de Chambrun, who needs no introduction to the Ameri- can public, is lawyer, but as yet, has made no claims to the title of jour- nalist, though, he also, has contrib uted some valuable papers to the French press.

FRENCH WAR DEBT SETTLEMENT IS
 IN DEADLOCK
FRENCH PRESENT FINAL PROPO. POSAL AND WILL RECEIVE
 ANSWER EARLY HOUR

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. (P)- The French war debt settlement is up to President Coolidge. The commission offered what it considers it final pro- posal, to which the American com missioners were unable to agree.
 Caillaux has been promised an an swer at Il o'clock today.
 The French offer forty million dol lars annually for five years, and sixty millions annually for the next seven years, and one hundred millions an- nually for the next fifty years, total ing $5,620,000,000 principal and inter- est on recorded debt of $4,210,O00,O00 principal. The interest rate has not been mentioned but is expected to av- craze two and a half percent.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. (P)- Rejection of the French debt propo- sals is disclosed in a statement by Secretary of Treasury Mellon, after the American commission had con- ferred with President Coolidge who submitted no proposal. Caillaux an- nounced that he would return at o'clock this afternoon with the French views on the subject.
 French Refuse U. s. Terms
 WASHINGTON, D. O., Oct. 1 (P)- The agreement by the United States which is subject to the French ratifi- cation, provides that France pay the United States forty millions annually for five years which will be consid- cred as full interest on the debt. Pre- mier Caillaux refused to sign this agreement flatly on the ground that he had authority only to settle the debt fully and finally.

CAPTAIN HEINEN,
 ZEPPELIN PILOT,
 GIVES TESTIMONY
DECLARES THAT DISASTER WAS UNNECESSARY AND WAS
 LITTLE SHORT MURDER

LAKEHURST. N. J., Oct. 1 (P)- Captain Anton Heinen, former Ger man Zeppelin pilot, told the inquiry board Investigating the Shenandoah disaster that in his opinion it could ! have been very easily avoided. He said, My criticism is applied only tc handling the ship on the fatal trip. hold responsible the man in charge during the flight. The ship ran delib erately into the center of the storm 8 half hour after danger signs were shrieking aloud" He denied that ii was a wreck but rather was "pure murder"
 The reduction of the eighteen safety valves to eight were directly respon. sibl for the disaster, he told the judge advocate.
 Judge Advocate Foley asked Heinen Are you prepared to say that had you been in charge you coould have es- caped the storm?"
 Heinen replied, ''I am proud to say &that could have and would have done SO."
 He gave loud explanation of tech nical details at the time gesticulating violently and raising his voice as he told how he would have avoided the disaster
 Tells Source of Information
 At the behest of the court Capt Heinen revealed that the basis of his information was secured from Benja- min Hereth, Shenandoah survivor, and from James Work, chief draughts- man of this station, who gave him most of the particulars.
 Heinen stated that Lansdowne was well versed in aerology, but judged wrongly because he was not expert enced in handling dirigibles.
 Judge Advocate Rosendahl asked: What is your opinion of Commander Lansdowne as a pilot?"
 ''The very highest and still is," was the reply of Capt. Heinen
 Capt. Heinen said when Lieuten- ant Anderson told Lansdowne he saw storm clouds going apparently against the wind, he was observing one of the greatest danger signals we know in the air"
 He declared course should have been steered to which the ship would hold without drift then or the ship allowed to drift to the left out of the path of the storm.
