The cheap stuff is dealt out from kitchen to kitchen

RADIO REALITY

Four died while listening to the radio account
of the seventh round of the Dempsey-Tunney fight.
Six others died at other times during the contest and
while engaged in argument it. A great
insurance company states that five and four-tenths
might have been expected die in that half hour
fight fight, from heart troubles
This means that only five six of the deaths
be said to be caused in any degree by the fight And
the wholly interesting point that of those who
died were present in Chicago The deaths, one might
say, caused by excitement due to imagination
1t is curious process. The images of the fight
ing were produced the retina of the announcer'S
eyes These were transmitted to his brain and came
through his voice The radio took his utterances

again in thousands of receiving sets. And so great

THEATERS

A supercity, in which the Wool
worth building would be dwarted; in
which there is more life under
ground than above; in which modern
machinery, modern economic systems
would be considered primitivc-this
is "Metropolis.'
To those who saw the stage play
II. L. r. some years ago, this
theme will not be totally unfamiliar.
For Metropolis touches on that
day when men will make mechanical
men to do their shaving. At the
time the picture starts, humans still
do the dirty work. The stupcndous
machines run continuously and the
men work in shifts. They never see
daylight. since their section of the
city is underground. With the con
struction of the first mechanical be
ing Ga woman( trouble brews. She
incites them to revolt, after which
they wrcst from John Masterman,
who runs the city, the rights of hu-
man beings.
The sets are most astounding. TO
describe them properly is impossible.
Huge buildings rise miles into the
air; there are streets on all levels
for all kinds of traffic. the machines
underground are as large as our
Public Library. One scene is par
ticularlv impressive. The master
machine of the city is let run looS,

ZONTNG GROE~TH

Probably principle of municipal government
has ever made such rapid progress in this country
city zoning 1t only II years since the first zoning
ordinance was adopted in New York City Today, the
Department of Commerce reports, 55 per cent of the
urban population of the United States numbering
than 3C000000 persons, live in regulated by
ing laws
There has been remarkable development along this
line during the present year Many communities for
merly dubious, have been persuaded by the action of
the United States Supreme Court In the last u
months in four the court has upheld the right
of cities to establish districts for various types
struction and regulate the use, height and area of
buildings.
The larger cities have led in this movement of 6s cities
of over 100000 population, 81 zoning laws. The
smaller cities however, rapidly falling into line,
they hear the testimony of pioneers regarding the
benefits obtanabe from such regulation This fear is
usually found to be groundless. With typical zonng
system, administered inelgently and fairly, ndivd-
uals seldom lose anything that they would have
moral right to keep and nearly everybody shares in
the general benfits to the community.
