Clean Up Back Yards

A national movement for cleaning
up the unsightly back yards" OF
cities, which they exhibit to travellers
along railroad rights of way. has been
inaugurated by the Industrial division
Of the National Association Of Real
Estate Boards.
Industrial commissioners Of all rail
roads in the United States will CO.
operate with the Industrial realtors
in the cleanup campaign. CONNER
cial associations and civic organiza-
tions in the cities will be asked to
take an active part in making the right
of way outlook represent their citieS
fairly to the travelling public.
Appalling neglect that Industries
throughout the country, especially IN
the smaller communities, give to that
part of their properties visible from
the right Of way, is emphasized by
the division in outlining its program.
The exposure Of piles Of ashes, rub
blsh and junk Is no way to build up
interest in the community on the part
Of passers through the town who
might become permanent residents,
the division CONTENDS.
Together with the cleanup CAM
paign, the division calls attention to
the desirability Of enabling the tray-
eler to identify easily the town
through which he is passing.
Intercity exchange of business In
Industrial real estate Is another mat

BUILDING
Urges Smaller Cities to
-'' 7" Wider. Through Streets

"widen and open up necessary ar
terial streets and avenues to handle
present and future motor vehicle trahic
now," Is the recommendation Of
Thomas P. Henry, president Of the
American Automobile association.
Mr.. Henry feels that one Of the most
important fields of club activities is to
cooperate In every way possible with
the traffic authorities of the various
cities in the solution of problems rel
ative to handling the constantly III
creasing traffic. The question. he
points out, not only involves e1pedit-
Ing traffic but also the saving Of lives.
"Practically all of our cities and
larger towns were planned before the
days of the motor vehicle" he said In
a recent bulletin. MANY cities and
towns were developed to their present
proportions without any plan. With
narrow streets or without an adequate
number of connected thoroughfnres
from the suburbs to the heart of the
city, traffic authorities in the majority
of our cities are staying awake nights
wondering how they are going to han
die the present day motor traffic Tenn
porary expediencies such as more traf-
&c officers and one-way streets are
adopted with the realization that these
measures are not going to meet the
situation year or two from now with
the corresponding Increase of traffic
which has been noted during the last
few years.
'The question of solving local traffic
problems. can be answered by scien-
tific study of the needs of city and
how they may be met.
1.-The lesson which the larger cities
are learning from experience, should
prompt smaller cities and towns to
begin their city planning to take care
of future motor vehicle traffic now and
not walt until 1t becomes Imperative
and the cost of widening and connect
ing streets becomes almost prohibit
| tive"

Mary rose to her feet at once.
"A foreigner?" she repeated. with

she has news from Lord Dombey."
Nevertheless, when she entered the
little room where Elsa Francks was
waiting. 1t scarcely seemed likely
that news of 30 fastidious a person as
her brother could come from such a
source Her doubts, however, were
soon set at rest.
"Are you Lord Dombey's sister,
the woman asked bluntly, without
Offering to move from her chair.
II am" Lady Mary acknowledged
at once. "Have you brought news
Of him7"
"I have brought him home," was
the unexpected reply.
"You?" Lady Mary exclaimed.
The woman laughed coarsely.
"Yes, mel" she declared. II have

But where is he?" Lady Mary de-

Mary, scarcely conscious of what
she did, rang the bell. This woman
was certainly the strangest visitor
who had even penetrated the portals
of Hinterleys house. She seemed
larger and coarser than ever. Her
clothes were snowy, but unbrushed
and crumpled as though she had slept
in them for nights; her hair was vel
low, but untidy. The rouge and
powder were distributed upon her
face in ungainly daubs. She breathed
an atmosphere of stale scent. Not

sylvania in the hope that it may be of
use to you in the widespread consider
alton of Giant Power, which is COM
ing.
Giant Power is a plan for supply
ing electric current for every purpose
to the people of America in greater
abundance and at cheaper rates than
ever before. 1t includes the produc-
ton of electricity in enormous guam
titles, partly from water powers but
chiefly at huge coal burning central
power stations near the mouths of
mines; the pouring of that electric
lty as 1t were into a great pool of
power for the service of all; and the
saving of the valuable by-products of
coal burned for power. 1t aims 70 as
sist and hasten the rapid expansion of
electric service.
The Giant Power plan undertakes
to prevent the nationwide electric
monopoly now almost formed, from
acquiring industrial, commercial, fl
nancial and political control of this
nation. 1t does not aim at public own
ership, but demands that in all plans
for electric development the public
interest shall receive first considera-
ton. Through effective public regu-
lation, it proposes to break down and
put an end to the present unfair dis
elimination in rates in favor of few
great users of electricity and against
moderate and small users through
which the latter are made to pay eX-
tOrtionate charges.
Super-power is the name chosen by
the electric magnates for their own
set up Of nationwide electric mo-
nopOly. Giant Power and super-pow-
er are as different as a tame elephant
and wild one. One is the friend and
fellow-worker of mantle other, at
large and uncontrolled, may be a dam
gerous enemy. The pace for the pub
hc is on the neck of the elephant,
guiding its movements, not on the
ground helpless under it's knees.
Giant Power means regulation by
the people of the coming electric mo-
nopoly. Super-power means control
of the people by the monopoly. The
principal object of super-power is
profit for the companies-not benefit
for the publc-and it is on the way
to being realized with a rapidity that
is difficult fully to understand, If we
are to have Giant Power instead of
uper-poWer-development in the in
terest of all instead of development
in the interest Of a few-the time in
which to make sure of it is very
short. Sincerely yours
CLIFFORD PINCHOT,
Governor of Pennsylvania.
