= Building
TouOn to Haze Novel
-qr Home-Life Features

Now new kind of town has been
invented. The first one is being built
at Radburn, N. J. IT.
1t will consist of number of units
for 600 families each. Each house
will have its own individual garden
in the rear. From each garden
path will lead to a parkway. Each
parkway will be city block in width
and about half a mile in length.
Primarily the parkway will be park
space, but in each parkway will be
tennis courts, Fairgrounds, a school
and community center.
The cultural life of the 600 families
of each unit will center about their
own parkway. Every child can reach
school by walking along tree-shaded
paths and, even If the distance be as
much as half mile, without having
to cross any automobile road.
The limited dividend company" is
the practical and powerful tool,
through which towns can be built
which will solve the perplexities in
PRODUCED into city life by the automo-
bile age of today. 1t limits dividends
on its stock to per cent. Through
economies possible by building hum
dreds of houses at a time it has been
able to pay 6 per cent and yet to de-
velop home regions not for specula-
tive profit but to provide generously
for home life and community we'll
being.
One novel feature Of the Radburn
plan is that all homes front on side
streets-dead-end streets-which will
be used only by the automobiles that
are going to houses in the particular
block. Through traffic is restricted,
therefore, to streets definitely planned
as motor highways, and hence made
wide enough in the first place to &C
commodate traffic.

Bricks Value Appreciated

While the ancients knew how to
use brick structurally and left COM
mendable examples of their skill, they
were handicapped in achieving the
beautiful effects possible today be-
cause the wide range of colors and
textures as manufactured now were
not then available.
1t is gratifying to know that. our
own country has far outstripped the
rest of the world in providing this
versatile material in such a variety of
colors and textures. And that the
architect is thoroughly appreciative
of the opportunity it affords in the
way of artistic effects is evidenced by
his lavish use of face brick, not only
for exterior walls, but interior finish
as well.

try, where the farmer is master and
lord in his own domain; where life

CHAPTER TX
The Fatal Errand

This meeting with Gist and his two
Indians was most pleasing to US, al
though the Delawares did not care
enough for our company to slacken
their pace. They ranged ahead while
Gist travelled with us. He gave us
much news. On July third the Indians
had refused to go on scout, but on
the following day two had been in.
duced to accompany him. The three
of them had advanced to within half
mile of the fort and had been de-
TERED from approaching closer be-
cause of the excitement occasi0ned by
the escape Of the girl, the Onondaga
and myself. They did not know what
had happened, but with so much yell
ing and bowling and running into the
woods the Delawares had taken fright
and declared the entire red force was
starting to attack the army. Two In
dams had sighted Gist and had chased
him for some distance. The Della
wares surprised and scalped the
Frenchman the DinwOld girl had
stumbled upon among the bramble
bushes.
Gist said he and his companions had
attempted to follow Turtle creek to
its head, where they had expected to
find the army, but had been turned
back by large band of savages COM
ing down the creek. They had taken
refuge in windfall and had remained
in hiding through the violent storm.
This delay permitted the girl and me
to get in advance of them. In scout
ing to the neighborhood of the fort
they had found the fords open and
without any signs of an ambuscade
being prepared. Nor had they discoy-
cred any trace of the enemy's savages
being outside the immediate vicinity
of the fort until the night of our es>
cape.
When Gist set out from the army
camp, Braddock was about to march
to Thicketty run, small branch of
Sewickley creek. Time had been lost
at Jacobs creek in waiting for Colonel
Dunbar's provision train to come up.
Many of st. Clair's road-builders were
on the sick list, and quite number of
them had died. The wagon horses
were in miserable condition. Colonel
Washington was too Ill to travel and
had not rejoined the army up to July
fourth.
"You have nothing but bad talk in
your bag" remarked.
"We have one French scalp" he
grimly replied. sand since June twen-
ty-fifth Braddock has been paying five
pounds apiece for scalps. But none
of our scouts are getting rich on the
bounties. If we could only get ahead
faster, and reach the fort before all
our soldiers are dead, or too sick TO
fight, we'd win just by showing our
selves. Mr.. William Shirley, the gen.
erals secretary, is very much dis
gusted and discouraged at the way
things are being managed. He says
he doubts our success But talk like
that Is all foolishness, of course. II
we can only hold out till we reach
Duquesne, We'll whip the French easy
enough"

On Rearing Children
from CRIB to COLLEGE
. y q
Compelled by the Editors of CHILDREN.
The Magazine for PARENTS

Nursery schools offer way of pro-
viding the very best care and train
ing for all little children.
Give your home laughing voices and
dancing feet. Make it place where
your friends, your husbands friends,
and your ,children's friends like to
come and are reluctant to leave. The
society of others is especially neces-
sary to the growth and development
of young people. They must have
friends, and if the little spot which
they have learned to regard as home
is home in the real sense, naturally
they will bring their associates to
it. Is yours a home Or just house?
The study of music, when properly
taught, is the best of mind trainers.
1t develops the following faculties es-
pecially: invention, memory, quick
ness of thought, accuracy. concise OBJ
servation, concentration of mind,
broad mental grasp, ability to COM
pare and analyze. To these may be
added, patience, self-control, refined
feelings, cultured taste, imagination,
acute sensibilities and most essential
of ALL that firml.ess of will necessary
to overcome difficulties and to sur
mount crises on the instant.
The amount of allowance given a
child ;noIld be determined by the
child's age and individual needs. The
child's training is furthered by keep
ing accounts, provided these are made
to be a help and not a burdensome
task.
An adequate breakfast for both
children and adults includes milk,
fruit, either stewed OF fresh; hot
cereal, bread stuff, and fat in some
form, either in bacon, cream or egg
yolk.
Parents often lessen their children's
respect by carelessness of one kind
or another; carelessness in personal
appearance, carelessness where cour-
tesy is involved, carelesSness about
dignity. A mans or wOman'S truthful
ness, fairness and dignity are subject
to daily examination in the close in
timacy of the home and very young
children show an astonishing capacity
to read theil parents and judge them.
See that your children form the ex-
cellent habit of drinking a glass of
water Immediately on rising every
day.
A school child's aversion to night
ly warm bath for cleanliness and a
cold shower in the morning for stim-
ulation can be overcome if parent
stands his ground and insists that
that daily healthful custom shall be
observed without exception.

DR.. CUMMING DISCUSSES
INFANTILE PARALY LYSIS
Surgeon General Says Most Prom
Using Time for Treatment Is
in Early Stages.

The most promising form Of treat
ment for infantile paralysis Is possible
in the early stage of the disease before
actual paralysis sets in, according to a
statement by Surgeon General Hugh S.
Cumming of the United States Public
Health Service.
The name 'infantile paralysis" Is a
poor one, DR.. Cumming states, since 1t
does not cover the cases of older chill
dren and adults, nor the cases of the
disease without actual paralysis. The
essential feature of the disease Is in
f1ammation Of the gray matter Of the
spinal cord.
The use of human blood serum from
persons recently recovered from the
disease is the most effective form of
treatment yet devised, according to the
statement, which urges all convalescent
victims to volunteer their blood for use
in treating other patients.
