every residential district. Neigh
borhood stores should be grouped
at points convenient to all, but
not where they cause congestion
of through traffic.
The location of schools is even
more important. When the school
board can use a good city plan
showing the probable character of
its development and the location
of major streets, it is better able
to choose adequate school sites in
new districts.
The type of site usually desired
will be convenient to the fami-
lies that are expected to move into
the neighborhood, and at the same
time be off the main thorough
fares with their noise, confusion
and dangers from heavy traffic.
Ample space is needed around
schools for Fairgrounds as well as
for light and air.
It is therefore good business for
the city to anticipate its needs
while land values are still low and
there is good choice of large
sites not yet built upon.
Parks and Fairgrounds
Adequate recreation space, al
though often overlooked, Is Of
great Importance to a community
and provision for it rightly be-
longs in q good plan. Open space
surrounding the home Is the best
| playground for very small chill
dren, but organized games for
larger children and adults require
public open spaces, and in apart
ment house neighhorhoods play
grounds are needed for even the
smallest children.
In providing play space the dis
tances that children Of various
ages viii customarily travel ia
Fairgrounds should be recognizel
as well as the amount OF
space required. The il

Public Buildings-Civic Centers
The dignity and attractiveness
of a community and the con-
venience of its citizens may be
served by thoughtful location of
public and semi-public buildings.
The city hall, the court house, the
public library, and the art museum,
are each much more impressive
when part Of q well arranged
group, especially when it can be
seen from long street approaches.
In same way, schools, church
es, even hotels, aside from their
primary use, may through proper
location, add to the dignity and
beauty of the central grouping
plan. In such an arrangement
special care should be taken to
preserve a practical street plan.
Residential Districts
In most communities the dis
tricts where the people dwell are
far greater in area than those in
which they work and do business.
Different families have different
desires in the way of homes. Most
prefer to live in one-family houses
on quiet streets with grass and
trees about them.
Many families that can afford
these advantages, more often those
without children, still prefer te
live in apartments, frequently tc
avoid personal responsibility fol
lupkeep of the dwelling and te
have easier access to the city cen
ter.
Others assume this more cramp-
ed manner Of living because o.

fact remains, too, that many ex.

MANY SUFFERERS
FROM INFLUENZA
GO TO HOSPITAL

An epidemic of Influenza among
the poorer people of the county, has
swamped accommodation nj the
county hospital, according to Super
intendent Weir, who stated today
that six additional eases were recciv-
ed at the hospital last night.
The total number of inmates at
the hospital and farm his morning
was 81, which greatly taxes the in
stitution which normally can accom-
modate about 45 people. Every
available bit of room, with the ex-
ception of the pest house, is being
used to care for the sick and needy.
Unless relief comes soon Weir
stated. he will have to place i'll tents
any additional patients that may
he received. The demand on the
hospital is always heavy at this sea-
son of the year, he said, but it is
Il little heavier this year than ever
before.

This year has seen more dra-

any other, and in dance Mad
ness which comes to the Eltingc
for Monday and Tuesday, Claire
Windsor and Conrad Nagel are
seen in romantic comedy roles
And they both make the grade
with ease. While Nagel has had a
little experience in Excuse Me-
Miss Windsor here makes her first
appearance in asecmcdy.
However, this Is a comedy year,
and everybody seems t. be doing
it. Miss Windsor brings refresh
ingly sincere note to her perform
ance, and her knowledge Of panto-
mime serves her to advantage in
q number Of the scenes. She has
adopted new style of hairdrcss,
which adds immeasurably to her
beauty as well as changes her per-
sonality.
Nagcl PLAYS the part of Roger
Halliday with much more vigor
than is usual. 1t is part far diff
fcrcnt from any this actor has
played in Il lcrg time, and this
NAV account for the enthusiasm
with which he invests it.
