Modern City PLANNING

Today we would not be satisfied
with city planned wholly by an en-
gineer; it might be an efficient city.
but it would not be beautiful. Beauty
is more important factor in our
lives than efficiency, and that applies
to radios and automobiles as well as
cities and regions
People buy radios and automobiles
for their beauty as we'll as for their
efficiency people move out of cities.
planned for efficiency, into the country
because of the ,eauty Of the surround
ings. They would rather spend two
hours on the train and live in the
country than 10 minutes each day and
live in the city.
Areas around large cities must pro-
vide pleasant places in which to live:
and if our citizenry is to develop in a
normal way we must see to 1t that
the areas best suited for homes are
maintained exclusively for that pur-
pose. The plans should provide for
reservations, parks. parkways. coming
and rail transportation.

Combine Planned for
Promotion of Building

Organization of building congresses,
linking architects. builders. bankers
and workers. is to be a major aim Of
the committee on industrial relations
of the American Institute of Architects
during 1881, according to the annual
report of the committee. of which VIII
liam Orr Ludlow, New York architect,
Is chairman.
Establishment of credit associations
for the guidance of the building indus
try in distinguishing between financial
~ responsible and irresponsible firms
is also projected, Holding that "labor's
part in building has never been prop
erly recognized" the committee will
continue it's efforts to secure recogni-
tion of superior craftsmanship.
The committee also seeks united ac-
tion to relieve unemployment and to
inform the public of the advantage Of
building now. while costs are from Is
to 20 per cent below normal.

Smaller City Has No
Need for s'Skyscrapers"

II
Large cities have carried concen-
tration too far and must begin to
think in terms of Decentralization.
Cass Gilbert, New York architect, re-
Gently told the members of the So
ciety of Arts and Sciences when they
presented him with the society's gold
medal for inaugurating the age of sky
scrapers with the Woolworth building.
He also intifnated that skyscrapers
will not last indefinitely.
Discussing the problems Of modern
cities in relation to skyscrapers. Mr..
Gilbert said:
81 doubt If skyscrapers are desir-
able for small cities. for they reduce
property values by drawing tenants
from surrounding buildings. Just as
they do in large cities. only with more
serious economic consequences. AS 70
whether the skyscraper. per Sc. IL

cussion in the competent hands OF
those who discuss whether the hen or
egg came first.
Transportation is the pulse of mr.
ban life. AS transportation provides
access business will develop. When
business develops. then land is varu-
able. When land is valuable, build
ings will arise.
"The architects for 30 years have
been advocating the development Of
city plans adequate for the future
which they clearly foresaw. Trained
to plan even more than to construct.
they clearly foresaw the need, but only
recently has the public begun to awak-
en- to that need"

Poet Prepares His Tomb

Gabriel d'Annunzio, sixty-six-year-
old Italian warrior and poet, sent a
telegram to Rome stating that his
order for a mausoleun was most
urgent. This picturesque son Of
Italy now lives in his Villa Vittoriale
near Gardone, where he spends most
Of his time IN study into which no
visitor is admitted. Some time ago
he decided that he desired to be
buried near the villa under tomb
consisting of four massive columns
surmounted by the statue of a rae
ing greyhound. His friend, Renato
Brozzi, was selected to sculpture the
statue. D'Annunzio has provided In
his will that Vittoriale is to become
a national monument after his death.

In contrast to the wolverines"
the "Gophers," the Badgers and the
"Hawkeyes" which symbolic the
state, it's inhabitants and its univer-
sity teams, there are states in which
all three are vastly different. South
Dakota is the Sunshine state but 1t
has an animal symbol-the coyote
and South Dakotans and the athletes
of it's state university are known as
state but its inhabitants are more
widely known as "Creoles" than they
are as "Pelicans" For the chances
are that mention of the latter word,
instead Of painting word picture of
a state, will more likely result in
there being quoted the famous jingle
about:
A wonderful bird is the pelican
Its neck holds more than it's belican;
1t can hold in its beak enough food
for week
But don't see how the helican.
The largest state in the Union is
called the Lone Star state but it has
a symbol which meyer fails to bring
to mind instantly the name of Texas.
Kicked like Texas steer" and wild
as a Texas longhorn" are SMILES
which are a part Of our everyday Ian
guage. so the ideas Of Texas and
longhorn steer are inseparably linked.
It is wholly appropriate that this ami
NAL should be the symbol of Texas for
upon the vast cattle trade which be-
gan after the Civil war was Texas
present prosperity based.
If you don't say kicked like Texas
steer" then you probably say kicked
like Missouri mule" and every one
knows of the dynamite that is con-
cealed in the heels of that animal.
Which brings up the fact that Mis-
souri,, the Show Me state, is blessed
with not just one state symbol but
two and either one of them as surely
spells Missouri" in the mind Of the
average American as longhorn steer
spells "Texas." One Of them is the
mule and the other is the houn' dog.
Not only is Missouri famous for the
number of its houn' dogs, and their
high value for hunting purposes, but
there are two other reasons for the
association Of the words Missouri"
and houn' dog" One is the famous
grafton delivered by a famous Mis-
sourian-Senator Vests "Eulogy on
the Dog"-delivered during lawsuit
over the killing of "Old Drum" The
other is the famous Houn' Dog song,
"They Gotta Quit Kickin' My Dog
Aroun'," which played an important
part in the campaign for the nominal
ton for President of another famous
Missourian, Champ Clark.
Senator Vests grafton, which has
become a classic in American litera-
ture, not only immortalized the Mis-
souri, houn' dog but has become a
veritable monument to ''man's best
friend"

to light recently the curious paradox
that in all probability Michigan, the
Wolverine state, does not now have q
single wild wolverine within it's Dor
ders! That is the discovery that
Fielding Fl. Yost, famous football
coach and athletic director at the Uni
versity Of Michigan made, according
to an article which appeared recently
in the Detroit Free Press which says
''When Professor Yost started out to
ascertain why Michigan is known as
the Wolverine state, he ran up against
two printed explanations. It appears
most likely that the name was given
Michigan because bales of wolverine
furs used to reach the New York fur
market from the trading post at Sault
Ste. Marie, although most Of the furs
were brought in from Canadian trap
pers and not from Michigan territory.
In the early days of exploration,
said Yost, a trading post was estab-
lisncd at Sault Ste. Marie. Many
wolverine furs were shipped to the
New York market from this post. A
large proportion of these furs were
supplied by Canadian trappers, al
though Michigan had wolverines at
this time. AS the result Of these large
shipments Of wolverine furs, this ter
ritory came to be associated with vol
verines and eventually the state came
to be known as the Wolverine state
This explanation does not coincide
with the theory Of A. D. P. Van Buren,,
in volume five Of the Michigan Pioneer
Historical Collections published in 1884,
but DR.. Norman Wood Of the univer-
sity museum faculty, who co-operated
with Yost In his search for living
wolverines in the state of Michigan,
declares that the second explanation
is not at all plausible
Evan Buren's explanation holds that
the appellation, Wolverine state came
about as the result OF an incident which
occurred at the old Ten Eyck tavern
at Dearborn. A party from Detroit
stopped there one day and were served
wolf steaks, his story relates. One
of the men facetiously remarked, We
have eaten wolves; we must have the
appetites of wolverines The story
spread, Van Buren, says, and the name
,came 10 be applied to the natives of
Michigan.
"Game wardens, trappers, and fur
dealers were called upon to aid Yost
in his attempt to learn whether the
wolverine is extinct in Michigan. With
two exceptions, these men supported
the findings expressed by DIR. A. @.
Roche, Of Calumet, who wrote: I
waited to look this matter up pretty
thoroughly. ! have seen practically all
the game wardens and hunters in these
parts and not one has ever seen a
wolverine up here"
Mr.. Yost's inquiry was made during
his quest for native Michigan VOL
VERNE to be used as a mascot for the
Michigan athletic teams, a quest which
was unsuccessful. True, live vol
verines have been displayed at some
OF the big football games at Ann
Arbor In recent years but they had

fN-@71 HERE are eight states in
the Union with nicknames
I'D related to birds or ami
IL mails, presumably because
III they are SO characteristic
III of those states that a per-
Ill son invariably thinks Of
IL them together. They are
Ill the following:
Arkansas, the Bear
state.
Delaware, the Blue Hen state.
Iowa, the Hawkeye state.
Louisiana, the Pelican state.
Michigan, the Wolverine state.
Minnesota. the Gopher state.
Oregon, the Beaver state.
Wisconsin, the Badger state.
But 1t is curious fact that in ad-
dition to every state having a popular
nickname, there are some states
which have symbols that are in no way
connected with the nickname If they
were connected, whenever you thought
OF Arkansas, you would think Of a
bear. But the fact is that whenever
ycu think Of that state, the chances
are that there rises to your mind the
Image sof one of those lean, lanky
porkers with its long snout and high,
sharp backbone which gives 1t the
name Of razorback. For the razorback,
descendant of the pigs which the Span
ism explorer, De Soto, brought to
America and which escaped to the
woods and ran wild for generations,
ID Arkansas native hog and as such
has become that states symbol rather
than the bear.
Time was when the razorback was
such familiar figure in the Arkansas
landscape that it became a part of
those popular legends which are re-
sponsible for fixing in the public mind
certain ideas, as often erroneous as
not. about the people in some one state
or some section Of the country. Hence
the tradition Of the "Ozark hill-billy"
whose "shiftlessness" has been per-
petuated In the famous Arkansas
Traveller" story. And a similar story
in which the razorback figures is
this one:
Traveller Through Arkansas (observ-
ing razorback scratching itself
against post)-Your hogs seem to
be troubled with the mango.
Ozark Hill-Billy ~ Mango nuthin',
stranger. That there is a razorback
and he's just stroppin' hisself! :
So while it may be true that the
razorback hog was once the most dis
tinctlve domestic animal in Arkansas,
modern farming and modern live stock
raising in Arkansas have largely done
away with him and he Is more of a
relic and a tradition than living
fact. The tradition has been pre-
served, however, by the athletic teams
Of the University Of Arkansas which
have become widely known as the
"Razorbacks," especially since an Ar
kansas football star made the ALI
American.
In fact, such has been the wide
spread interest in college athletics In
recent years that the mascots and
nicknames of athletic teams, espe-
cially those of the state universities.
have done much to fix in the public
mind a certain state symbolism, even
though 1t may not always agree with
that suggested by the official" state
nickname. Outstanding examples of
those which symbolic both the state
and the college athlete are the "Wol-
verines'. of the University of Michi-
gan, the "Gophers" Of the University
OF Minnesota and the Badgers" of the
University OF Wisconsin.
