THE ORIGIN
Ghent, Belgium.
T own-plan
ning is not a
modern inven
tion. Only the
purpova of the
planning has
changed. Towns
were planned yes
terday for the
glory of the great
and the enjoy
ment of the few,
for show or for
safety against in
vasion. The town
planners of to
day are working
on other and to
tally different
lines. Almost
within the decade
has developed the
town planning which takes into ac
count the great majority of the
people who dwell in the towns.
The new town-planner Is a prac
tical democrat This was the cen
tral and significant thought of the
First International Town Planning
Congress held in this quaint, historic
city of Ghent, Belgium, in the Palace
of Congresses of its beautiful exposi
tion. Town-planning involves house
planning. Plans are futile unless
workable. The provision of funds and
the direction and control of expendi
ture were discussed. And because
town-planning takes into account in
Its largest vision the city's suburbs
and the country side, even far re
moved, there was report of farm
dwellings and farms, of the provision
of houses in country as in town. The
gathered experiences of a dozen na
tions, through official representatives
from their chief cities, were presented.
Conspicuous was the object lesson
presented in an exhibit by a learned
St Andrew's professor, in picture,
chart and model, of the changing
plans of towns, from the glorification
of the Caesar, the church or the state,
Berlin or Rome or Washington, to the
good of the men and women and even
of the boys and girls, who were the
residents.

us but to fit our neighbors' eyes.

hideous. Parks are a city's lungs, the
breathing places for Its people, but
one may not live at his best If ha
breathes only on Sunday afternoons.
So the new town-plan, as the people.
particularly the little people, can not
come to the big park far remorse,
takes the park to them. Town-plan-

totally different aspect,
Lend lord Subordinated.
In Great Britain the Conservative
party, when ta power some twelve
year ago, passed throng Partiainent
the Small Dwellings ArtprtrHVM Act
The Liberal, by 12m Housing and
Town Planning Act ot 1909, added to
the provisions of the earlier not the
feature of town planning, for the first
time tn British legislation. Franos,
Germany, Belgium and other substan
tial countries have made large prog
ress, though not always on the same
lines. Speaking generally, the new
legislation sanctions loans by states
and municipalities for the acquisition
of land for the provision of parks,
the erection of dwellings and other
purposes. The Interest of the land
lord or the owner of real estate Is
OF ADULTS
sabordinated to the Interest of the
community. The crowded housing,
which the greed of real estate pro
moters so frequently brings about In
small as well as large towns, Is not
permitted under the new town-planning
legislation. Society has rights
which even the real estate agents
must respect Cities, which were for
merly built for the power and the
glory of the overlord, and, more lat
terly, for the pocket of the landlord,
are to be constructed for common,
ordinary folks, the class to which most
of us belong. Life is to be preferred
above mere property.
Now all this can not be brought
about in a day. The building of
Rome took longer, whatever its plan
ning or lack of planning required.
Progress, remarkable progress, has
been made. The Ghent Congress
showed that much has been accom
plished in less than a decade. The
reconstruction- of Vienna, the working
men's houses in Germany, the mak
ing over of certain poorer quarters
in Parts and Brussels and Ghent, Gar
den City, near London, and other city
suburbs In Great Britain, are examples
of the new but widespread movement
for better housing for town and coun
try. Better Housing Progress In England.
Great Britain, where conditions of
life are more nearly similar to those
In the United States, contributed the
results of Its recent experimental leg
islation. This legislation, in substance,
was designed to simplify and cheapen
the existing procedure for acquiring
land for housing purposes and to deal
with insanitary areas and unhealthful
dwellings, to require landlords to keep
rented houses in proper repair, and to
provide for town planning. Under
this act 140 British towns have
adopted schemes of town planning to
guide their growth and development
Farm land to the amount of 160,000
acres has been purchased and upon it
have been Installed 13,000 smallhold
ers. Ninety per cent of this state ac
quisition of land was not by compul
sion but by voluntary agreement with
landowners. Ninety-eight per cent of
the 13,000 smallholders rent the land.
Only two per cent bought It from the
state, the others preferring to be ten
ants of the county councils, to which
Is entrusted the local administration
tne scheme. Nor has this result,
according to 1U advocates, depressed
private enterprise. Landlords, iffl-

f iats to Build Laborers' Cottages.
The British county council Is often
oontroUed by landlords and other own-
1 no m Plrlt ot
,
Walter Rundman, the British
Minister of Agriculture, plans to have
1 the state at large build cottages for
farm-laborers and town worklngraen
-when necessary. The state, he esti
mates, ooold "build cottages ofds
quale also and character, at 7U each
and rent them, without loss, at Tl
oents a week. Be thinks 100,000 such
cottages are immediately needed.
With each cottage would be provided
land suffldsnt for small fanning and,
gardening. Housing Is regarded as a
central evil in the present situation,
alike of the farm and town laborer.
The Insanitary and Ill-provided cot
tage which the laborer on the farm
receives tn part payment for his labor
from the farmer or which the town
workman rents s. an exorbitant price,
keeps the farm laborer In economic
subjection or promotes congestion in
the towns. The Runciman plan com
mits Great Britain to a further step
toward solving this housing problem.
The Ghent Congress heard that Great
Britain could employ, if necessary,
compulsory powers to purchase land
In considerable blocks, erecting cot
tages, four to an acre, thereon and
make the scheme profitable at 76
cents a week. This estimate included,
in addition to $750 for the cost of the
cottage, f250 for the land. After due
allowance was added for loan charges,
repairs, insurance, and supervision,
the total annual cost to be met was
set down at $160 per group of four,
which works out about 75 cents a
week for each.
Model Cottage for 62 Cents Weekly.
The model was shown of a cottage
in Surrey, England, actually built and
rented to three young women earning
their living. This cottage has three
bedrooms, parlor, kitchen, pantry,
bathroom, coal -cellar. A framework
of block weather-boarding was used
for the external walls. Between this
and the plaster interior is an air space
which Is said to make the house warm
and dry and perfectly weather-proof.
It cost, land included, $600 and rents
for 62 cents a week.
Better housing on the farm may not.
of course, check the movement of pop
ulation to the city. Perhaps It is
neither necessary nor desirable to re;
tain upon the soil, under today's con
dition, so large a proportion of the
population as yesterday. The more
rural conditions are improved, the bet
ter the wages and the housing, the
higher the education at the school,
the less will the farm-laborer be satis
fied with the country as it Is. So
better farm conditions, through Hous
ing Reform and in other ways, brings
an Increased betterment of all rural
life conditions for those who remain
and, with better conditions, fewer
hands are needed. It was not a far
cry, therefore, when the Town Plan
ning Congress heard one speaker em
phasize the need for a more comforta
ble rural life and for a more intensive
agriculture.
A Slum Life Story.
Over against the progress of the
new attack upon the old slum, as
shown by the Ghent Congress, may be
put a story told a few evenings before
at a London club. Miss B., an old
maid with much money and nothing to
do, became Interested in slum work.
She rented rooms In a London slum
district, gave tea and cake the Brit
ish climax of afternoon hospitality
to children who came and presented
material for any garments they would
make. One little girl worried Miss B
She looked so poor and 111 and mis
erable. Finally the Good Samaritan
decided to Invite the child to her coun
try home for a week's holiday, an In
vitation accepted with delight The
good woman made every provision for
her comfort, a pretty bedroom, toys
and playmates and books, food and
flowers. The child of the slums could
stand It only four days. She wanted
to go back to London the second day,
she cried all the third day and neither
food nor fruit nor flowers could tempt
her on the fourth. She Invented ex
cuses to Induce her benefactor to take
her back to her tenement dwelling
she dreamt her mother was dead, she
had sprained her foot her father had
written that her baby brother was ill.
The truth was that her small Cockney
soul fairly sickened for the sights and
smells of the slums and that a ha'pen
ny worth of chips eaten from a scrap
of newspaper tasted to her sweeter
than a well-cot Ked omelette served in
a china plate. "They are all the
same," said he who told the story as
argument against the new crusade
against the slum, town-planning for all
the people, "they are all the same;
you can do nothing with them dress
them, feed them, pamper them, it is
all the same, they will fall back into ,
the gutter and regard you as an enemy
for ttying to lift them out" 1
"It is not an effort to lift men from
the slums," quietly replied the St An
drew's professor, "it is an effort to
abolish the alum, so that no one will ,
be born therein. For if there Is no
hog-wallow, even the swine cannot rs !
tarn $9 It".
1 heaven, if the town plans of John ,
the Beloved are realised, is to be a
alumless city not a country-place
city in which there will be neither sor- j
row nor crying nor pain, for the for-,
mer things of yesterday will have,
passed away. And this city, near at '
hand on earth, the zealous, optimlstio ',
town-planners of Ghent all see, at
least "in their mind's eye, Horatio!"

Cannot Fix Age of World.
The age of the world Implies fixing
the date of the creation, and scientists
do not attempt to do that beyond say
ing that it must be reckoned by mil
lions of years. Many Bibles are print
ed with the year 4004 B. C. in the
margin of the first chapter of Genesis,
indicating that as the data of the
creation of the world. It Is only with
in comparatively recent times that
science has demonstrated beyond
doubt that the world existed millions
of years before the period formerly
assigned as the date of the creation,
and that Its occupancy by man covers
a period hundreds of times as long as
that formerly accepted as the age of
the world Itself. The preMstoiio
period means the period antedating
written history.. Human records by
means of hieroglyphics which, as now
known, reach back far beyond the
period formerly accepted as the date
of the creation of the world.
Horse's Wonderful Endurance.
To test the staying powers of a
thoroughbred horse a New Jersey man
rode an animal from New York to
Chicago. Be covered the first seven
hundred miles in less than twelve
days of actual riding. This horse once
made the distance of seventy-eight
miles in twenty-four hours, carrying
a rider over the mountains between
Johnstown. Pa, and Pittsburgh.

It is the trademark of the latest

It is the sign of the greatest Im
provements ever made in oil heat

Smokeus
The Perfection Heater, as now made,
gives more heat, holds more oil, is
better made and works better than
any other heater on the market
Zt has a wide, shallow oil font, which
allows the oil to pass readily up the
wick and insures reliable, unchanging
flame and heat, whether the font is full
or nearly empty.
The Perfection is smokeless, because
the patent locking flame -spreader
prevents the wick being turned up
high enough to smoke. It is easy to
re-wick, because the carrier and wick
are combined fuet turn oat the old
