MILLIONS EXPENDED
(From the Wash. Postl

Now, in it's tenth year, national prohibition has cost the Federal Government more than $3OO,OOO, 900 for enforcement and $3,OO0, 100000 loss in revenue, crowded jails to capacity, congested court dockets to the limit, taken toll of 200 lives outright, and before reaching adolescence has kicked over the traces 50 much as to become the Governments chief problem.
 Other millions have been ex- pended by States on enforcement, and other untold hundreds have been killed and wounded in the process. International complica tions have piled up. Disregard for law has become a fad.

CHINA HAS TRADE IN
 0LD POSTAGE STAMPS

CANTON, Sept, 23, (P)- Of the diverse occupations emanating from the fertile brain of the Chin csc coolie who finds himself tenn porarily without the common nec- essities of life, there is perhaps none So renumerative as sale of washed, used postage stamps.
 The practice is to collect lightly cancelled stamps from waste bas- kets and to obliterate the cancella- tion ink by thorough washing. The stamps are then re-gummed |and the Chinese coolie sells them openly along the main thorough
 fares for half their face value.

lecture minded"
There is" he adds, IAN almost
universal lack of understanding of
the Importance of architecture and
its inseparable setting, landscape
architecture, which together form
the background or environment for
all the people of this country,
particularly where they are grouped
together in cities.
Few Are Equipped
More than 500 American cities
are now reported by the Depart
ment Of Commerce to have city
planning commissions. Yet, with
the exception of St. Louis. and a
very few other cities. there are
seldom architects on these com.
missions, and If there are they do
not seem to know what to do.
Scarcely any real esthetic con.
siderations have been included in
American city planning to date
Meanwhile there lis enormous eco

people OF the country who must
live In them.
This condition is mentally I'M
healthy, and economically and
socially unsound.
"City builders, architects and engi'
neers are faced with stern RESPONSE.
biIities. This is the planning age.
America confidently enters 1t, and,
with higher standards of living than
man has ever known before, will
brook no little plans, no tinkering,
no dalliance with halfway meas
ures.
Man must have in this urban era
that joy of living which is only truly
satisfied by a highly esthetic en-
vironment as we'll as by sound social
and economic conditions.
Mostly Futile
"City planning is futile which does
not keep ever first in mind its hu.
man purpose and detectives. Too
long have we talked about the dry.
mechanical processes of planning;
too little have we emphasized the
Importance of the beautiful.
Economic, social and esthetic
considerations are inseparable in any
complete planning for the best urban
life, or even for the best country life.
The old city beautiful slogans and
campaigns of 20 or more years ago
lacked the solid economic and social
foundations necessary to make them
succeed, and We had to soft-pedal
them until better public understand
ing Of all three phases of city build
ing was achieved.
Now the public has caught up
with the city planners. In fact, it is
ahead OF them. City planners must
wake up or they will be soon cast
aside for leaders with better grasp
of the public demands OF our time"
