ores of Chloride mines will respond
to this treatment.

HOTEL IN FARMINGTON, N. NJ.

FARMINGTON, N. M "Oil on

He has discovered that while
members of the oil fraternity from
all sections of the country have
come to this region in search of
oil, they don't want to find it in
their rooms.
The trouble all started early Fri
day when a woman patron, her

rushed down and wanted to find
out from the night clerk "who

Realtors, Lawyers. and Plan

mental Principles.

One hundred and fifty-eight leading
realtors, lawyers and city planners IN
the United States have indorsed 10
real estate fundamentals on recrea
ton recently submitted to them by the
Playground and Recreation Associa
ton Of America. The fundamentals
are a. follows:

They are keenly alive to anything
that maks these homes better or more
attractive.
2. 1t IL evident that the children ana

ers have opportunity to save individ-
uals and families from their own
thoughtlessness and make it easy Tor
them to live in a community Whefe
there are neighborhood open spaces
saved for play.
L. The Increase in automobiles us
ing the public streets makes the
streets increasingly dangerous for the
play Of children and makes 1t increas-
inkly necessary to save certain open
spaces for play.
S. The built-up portions of cities
At very considerable expense have
been securing play space. II Is the
part OF civic economy to have such
space saved before congestion has
made the securing OF land for the pub
lie dificult and costly.
s. City real estate planning should

The approach TO the house includes

areas bordering on It, usually open

If the house is in the city. this space
from the sidewalk to the building line
is part of the public parking and
there are restrictions forbidding high
fences or high planting to cut it off
from the street. Even when there are
no such restrictions custom is so
strong that the owner usually prefers
to consider this part of the grounds
as semi-public. not inClosing 1t as a
private lawn, but leaving II open to
the street.
If this is his point of view he will

gradually unite as joint owners in in
dustry, both will be more interested
in applying the golden rule.
Labor Banks are Factor.
One OF the most hopeful signs along
these lines is the development OF labor
banks throughout the country. The

been orsa nized in New York, Boston

As an employer becomes sympa-

overalls and goes to work in mill. so
labor becomes sympathetic with capl-

faces. In conclusion let me say what,

metaphoricahy to thumb the nose
at themi It is probably the most
soul-satisfying thing known to
the experience Of man: upon this
mundane sphere there is nothing
to compare with RI save the joy
Gus news that a wealthy relative
has been run over by a truck.
All of this Mr.. Melbourne took
into consideration. but, alas! how
many things, indeed, one must
take into consideration as opposed
to the matter Of putting ones
pretty wife in a position OF
hazard more unpleasant to her
husband, perhaps, than to any
one else concerned-even herself.
The more Mr.. Melbourne thought
the thing over, the more pricked
he felt by the horns OF his
dilemma. He couldn't possibly
take Mr.. Brice out with two
other women, for that might get
Mr.. Melbourne in wrong with his
wife-and no man wants to get
in wrong with his wife-if she
is beautiful; she may take an
unique revenge.
Unique Revenge
At last he managed to figure
out something which he thought
might work fairly well. Mrs.
Melbourne, among other I'M
The Washington times., 1926-03-22

doubted accomplishments, made
a charming dinner guest. He
would take her and Mr.. Brice
to the widest and jazziest and
most Charlestonesque of the road
houses on the outskirts OF Chi
cago, and there, during the course
of an evening, Mr.. Brice could
be prevented from expiring Of
boredom by the presence of the
vivacious Mrs. Melbourne; the
surroundings would be such as
to please Mr.. Brice's flair for
surroundings, and he would there
fore be probably fairly well sat
isfied.
Dangerous
OF course, it was dangerous
at least it appealed to an ex-
newspaper man as being such
but, he, Mr.. Melbourne, would
be right there at the table to
keep his eyes, his ears. even his
intuitions open and to steer the
conversation into safe channels
while keeping sharp lookout for
mines, torpedoes and depth bombs.
Surely Mr.. Brice would realize
that there were a few women
in the world that he had no
right to.
So far, so good; but, alas,
