City 'Planning 'The cardinal advantage of city planning is best evidenced in those cities, in which the ab

sence of a plan is creating serious problems. In

Chicago, for instance,- the handling of loop traffic,-aggravated by certain geographical conditions, has created a problem that is agitating the

whole city.

- The failure years ago to provide arteries of traffic to meet probable expansion accounts for the present predicament, there. Efforts to give relief by widening a street, although it is a civiq necessity of the highest order, is meeting with determined opposition from many property own

ers. Many months will be wasted before the

property owners are convinced that the damage

to their property will be offset by the increased

traffic and consequent enhancement of property values. , r This example 'from Chicago is only one of the hundreds that can be mentioned. In each case, the chances are that if the future expan

sion of the city hafl been kept in mind, the prob

lem would not have arisen. -One "of the import

ant phases of city zoning is the attention that is

given to problems that may arise in the future By planning well and systematically, these per

plexing and trouble making cases ' virtually are

eliminated. . . -

Few cities realize the value of arranging their improvement on a systematic plan which

tries to anticipate future needs. Those that do

are very fortunate in being able to show pro

gress along definite. lines. Haphazard city build

ing is expensive from both the standpoint of the

city" and of the individual citizen. Collectively all of tnem pay for mistakes of judgment and

in the individual case the unfortunate taxpayer

sees his property depreciated in value.

There is something depressing about the sight of a house with the shades all drawn. I want to get by it as soon as possible. And that's the way I feel about many human beings that I meet or pass their shades are all drawn. Life is away! But what a change in the cast of everything just the minute that a radiant personality inters your immediate circle. No matter what the mood of the mind, the golden rays of a spiritual sunshine pierce their way into the innermost corners of your entire Wing. You feel like emptying your soul at once and refilling it with this freshest of ozones that is the material of the radiant personality. You feel like saying: "The very next time that the real sun and stars gleam out their messages I want to meet them anew, and tell them how much they mean to me." We are wonderfully and fearfully sensitized. A piece of extraordi nary good news is able to lift us from great depths of darkness to heights of happiness. A smile with love and Interest and appreviation behind it will do the same thing. If, therefore, we are brought to feel the beautiful Influence of the' radiant personality from without us, how important for us to seek hi every way to make our own personality a breathing, moving, cheering affair in the midst of the contrary influences that fill the time and space of all that we are, wherever we are. I do not like to think that it is my duty to help make the world a better place in which to, live but my privilege! "

Georgia, compare with the bulk of coal that has been mined in thin country? C. O. C. A. Stone Mountain ha3 a visible bulk of 72 billion cubic feet. The amount of coal mined in this country ' up to 1919 was 13 billion tons. This

would make 320 billions of cubic feet. Q. Why do some plants and trees produce flow ers . before leaves? P. I. K. A. The department of agriculture eays that a variety of tree growing in the south and sending out its blossoms before its leaves will in the north send out foliage ahead of blossoms. This characteristic is evidently associated with the responses of the plants to climatic conditions and temperatures. y. How much is the coast of England and the United States being washed away each year? T. T. F. A. ' The amount varies exceedingly with the locality. . For instance, on . the coast of Yorkshire, England, it is estimated that the action of the water is washing at least 7 feet per year. At Cape Cod the erosion is about six inches a year.

the public printer a speech containing

several poetic allusions to fchaKespeare, and if the same congressman absent-mindedly spells Shakespeare three different ways in the course of his effusion, the government printing office does not waste any time wondering what to do. And if a bureau official, writing a report, capitalizes every word that could possibly be capitalized by stretching gramatical -rule, the public printer still maintains his digniied pose. Once, it Is true, incidents of this sort led to situations, even to complications. Officials who considered their education assailed if ther style of wrting was questioned, would solemnly argue with the printing office lor weeks over the placing of a comma, or the compounding of a word. But controversies about spelling,

punctuation and capitals in government publications are over. For near

ly a year the government, printin

office has been -adhering strictly to a thin red style book of its own making, and to a well-known dictionary.

F.efore thaLAho printing office had a style book but it was not accepted universally by government officials as final authority. All of the patent office printing, for instance, until recently, was done in a peculiar, socalled patent office style. Some 20 years ago, an official of that bureau had a particular fondness for a certain dictionary and he insisted that all copy sent from his office conform to the rules of that dictionary. Twenty years passed, and

the official was dead, but; the patent office still clung to its handed-down spelling. This made trouble for the compositors and proof readers at the printing office because they had to remember all of the exact ways in which the patent office style was different. Finally the secretary of the interior was consulted, and he promptly decided that the patent office should spell and capitalize like other

government bureaus. Until the new style book appeared, the trouble was that each official and congressman was apt to regard his copy as exceptional, rad to want it printed according to his taste. Requests of this sort might seem slight, but in reality they led to expense and trouble. A Rhetorical Representative

This can be seen from the case of one representative who had been a school teacher. When his speeches were set up to be printed and the proofs were returned to him for correction, he would go through the pases inserting numerous punctuation marks totally unnecessary to clearness. - A grammatical expert at the printing office explained this mysterious svstem to the puzzled operators. A, comma indicated a slight rhetorical paus. A semi-colon showed that here th srwnker naused longer for dra

matic effect. A period or dash indicated breathless suspense. This rhetorical punctuation was once widely used in printing speeches. It is now a defunct practice, and not one person in a thousand would understand the reason for so many commas and dashes. The government printers, however, had to reset entirely, neaVly half of this man's speeches tiecaqtse

of the extra punctuation.

showed the need for a single, flxed style in a shop which is said to be the largest printing plant in the world. But bureau officials could never seem to compromise on their pet controversies. Soon ar.ter the present public printer, George II. Carter, took office, however, he energetically tackled the proposition of making the government style book a real official standard. A board of revision was formed of printing office officials' and some au

thorities from other government

agencies. For more than a year this

board met and discussed policies. It

consulted with scientific experts and

cicuonary editors, it conducted re

search to be certain of usages by the best authorities. In one historic instance the board set down a rule

which would have made "mealybug" and "fruitworni" each two words. The department of agriculture objected that these and certain other terms should be one word. The department

pointed out that to write mealybug in two words indicated that the insect is a bug a"nd that measly describes it, while vin reality, a mealybug is

not, strictly speaking, a bug. Smilar-

ly,' a fruitworni is not a worm. After extensive correspondence, the printing

board surrendered to this argument.

When the manual was compiled, it

represented a final government standard for punctuation, abbreviations

and printing style. rlne book was

approved by the president, the buget director, the congressional joint com

mittee on printing, and by the perma

nent conference on printing, composed

of officials in the government departments who are In charge of publica

tions. Adopted as

a Textbook

While the tyle book is an official

standard for the government only, it is also being used to a considerable, extent by other agencies. It has been adopted as a textbook in some schools and colleges, and its rules are being followed by a number of printing offices and publishing houses. Mr. Carter explains that the manual is not an autocratic attempt to decide emphatically what is right and what is wrong in English style. Language and custom change too steadily for that to be practical. What the board of revision did was to study good usage and opinions of authorities, end to decide what practices would be best for the government to adopt to avoid confusion. Though the rules in the style book are official, so far as the government

is concerned, they are not unchangeable, and the printing office has evolved an effective method of keepmg its mannual up-to-date. Officials who use the book in their work have special copies made with blank ruled

pages after every printed page. If

a new public issue brings up a new

word and there is a dispute over cap

italization, the board decides what the

government's policy vwill be, and the

decision is written' into the office style books. Changes in rulings are occasionally requested on the grounds that usage is making a different form more desirable. All questions of this sort are taken to the board of re-

vision and a decision is rendered. Because of this progressive revision.

and because the manual was so carefully compled in the first place, Mr. Cater believes that very little work will be necessary when a new edition is to be printed. A few well-defined exceptions to the general rules are provided for by the style book. For instance, by special arrangeemnt a scientific or technicl piece of copy may be marked "fol. lit." meaning follow literally, and no attempt is made to revise its style. This' courtesy is also generally accorded copy of a president of the United States. There is a story along this line connected with the printing of President Wilson's first message to congress. I Mr. Wilson always conformed to the English rules of spelling, using such forms as honour, labour, traveller. He also punctuated carefully, accord

ing to orthodox academic usage. A

comma before a dash, to take one ex

ample, was once insisted upon, and is

still considered preferable by some academicians, though the comma is more often eliminated now. Mr. Wilson's message came to the printing office and the employes set to work to fit it into the government style. The proof went back for the president's okeh, but it returned promptly with the original spelling and punctuation restored, and a penciled note explaining that Mr. Wilson would like his copy followed. Needless to say the president's wishes were acceded to. Mr. Harding uses the . government style. Having been a printer himself, ho follows the style so closely that almost no changes are made in his copy.
