Teaching q community how to

evolved from this machine age.
Towns and cities are no longer
Aa self contained as they were;
klIeir prosperity and development
depend to a large degree ON the
nrosperity Of an entire area.
This has brought about the wide.
S3read application of city planning.

Car Problems Many
OF all the problems the commu.
nifty of today has to face, that of
the automobile and its attendant
demands is Of most concern. The
travel f1uidity of the car has caused
fiA suburb and outlying districts to
blossom. Adequate traffic arteries
1aust be built and certainly there
must be some directing agency to
see that they are built, and built
where there Is the most need.
1ot all, of course, but most com.
Runities are growing with fair
rapidity. Many are growing at a
East pace, as Miami, for example,
whose population has increased 1873
per cent since 1925.
In days gone by cities and towns
grew without intelligent direction.
Streets for the most part were con-
fined to that age-old four-rod width.
Without proper guidance, growing
communities will find themselves

routes which became inadequate

least one member Of the family Of
Mrs. Hattie stone, accused OF pois.
onlne her 15.year-old son, George,
was decided upon today by authori-

Attorney w. Worthington Hopkins,
intends to find out why four mem.
bers of the family have died with
symptoms Of poisoning during the
past four years.

Hopkins plans are being shrouded
in secrecy. but it was definitely
learned that the prosecutor has been
inQutring into the circumstances at
tending the deaths of Edward stone,
husband of the accused woman; Mrs.
Emma Stone, uer motherin-laW;
and Edgar Stone. her eldest son.
When the nother,in.law died IN

Edgar Stone died june q, 1927,
after q brief Illness. He had suf'
fered from epilepsy. but his death
excited considerable suspicion at the
time.
Mrs. Stone UnmOved
The husband died suddenly on a
train near Edgewood, and ply
stefan gave a certificate Of death
from heart disease.
In each case, however, witnesses
have stated, the persons died in
commissions, accompanied by nau-
sea, the same conditions attending
the death OF the boy for whose
death his mother Is held.
When the news that the bodies
would probably be exhumed was
brought to Mrs. Stone in her cell
at the Jail in Belair, she asked,
cooliy, what OF it?"
She declared that IL poison should
be found in ans of the bodies, she
knew nothing of 1t and probably
never would know who was re-
spOnsible.
Consent Obtained
Authorities obtained the consent
for the elimination from Mrs. May
Baker. nearest living relative Of
Mrs. Stone, it was learned.
Mrs. Baker opened the investiga.
ton by testifying that Mrs. Stone
had confessed to poisoning her son

the State with James e. Aberts, q
former boarder.
