THE SYRACUSE JOURNAE

City Planning Dates Back Over Five Centuries Ago City planning, of which we hear so much these days, as though it were a new Idea, began in America over five centuries ago under the cliffs of Mesa Verde, in southwestern Colorado. Here may be seen the oldest and most fully realized civic center scheme in America. Prehistoric civilization in our South west is second only to the develop ment in Peru, Central America and southern Mexico, where architecture ruins of astonishing beauty are todaj crumbling under the jungle. This civilization was ruthlessly destroyed by the Spanish conquest following the discovery of America. The remains of the cliff dwellings of the Mesa Verde are being preserved in a great national park set apart by congress. The builders of Mesa Verde’s prehistoric dwellings were of the Pueblo type.. Two herdsmen. Richard and Alfred Wetherill. while hunting lost cattle one i December day in 1888, discovered these ruins. Coming to the edge of a small canyon, they saw under the overreaching cliffs of the opposite side, apparently hanging above a great precipice, what they thought was a city with towers and walls. Later they explored It and called it Cliff Palace —an unfortunate name, for It was not at all, but a village, with 200 rooms for family living, with 22 kivas, or sacred rooms, for worship. Later on they found another similar community of dwellings, which once sheltered 350 inhabitants. This they called Spruce Tree house, because a large spruce tree grew near it. A great mound on the top of the mesa, which Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, chief of the bureau of ethnology, unearthed in'the summer of 191.5, shows that, probably about 1300 A. D., they had begun to emerge from the caves to build upon the surface. It is significant that this building is partially sculptured and architecturally ambitious. It Is still more significant that it was not a house for temporal needs nor a fortress, but a religious structure. It was a temple to their god, the sun. Cuts Building Cost Ernest Flagg, designer of the Singer building in New York in recent years has built more than five hundred dwellings with a saving of onethird of the ordinary cost. He has studied the construction of dwellings with an eye to beauty and comfort, and many of his innovations are astonishing. He tells of his work in Collier's Weekly. He believes that stone houses &iould be built because they are cheaper than frame houses in the long run. Recently he put up a stone wall for 6 cents a cubic foot, the average:' cost of that sort of construction being seven times as much. He eliminates the high priced stonemason by placing his rubble stone in a form as if he were going to make concrete. The stones are fitted together dry and concrete is shoveled into the form behind the After the form is taken down mortar is squeezed tietween ttie stones. Much of the cost is saved by doing away with attics and cellars. A full sized attic for a medium sized house would cost about SI,BOO. One-fifth of the total cost of the house goes into building a cellar. He looks upon thg attic as a waste. His living rooms and bedrooms often run to the peak of the roof and are ventilated by the little dormer windows at the ridge of the roof. He eliminates ordinary partitions with a kind of construction which seems Im-, practical at first. Instead of being six inches through, as in the ordinary partition, his are only one «ud threequarters Inches thick and are fire and vermin proof. Lights Beautify City The theory that beauty, and practicability run counter to each other has so long existed that until a short time ago the ordinary places of business—the retail stores even in the greatest cities of the country were Doted for their frugality tn the employment of those things indicative of artistic nature or real effort to harmonize the commercial equipment with an esthetic atmosphere. Nowhere has this been so noticeable as In the utilization of proper lighting in show windows. which has proved the most valuable of merchandising agents and which has given countless stores an appeal to both men and women. Good store window illumination not only helps t<» stimulate business bat to a real credit to the community, it gives it a wide-awake atmosphere that few other things can accomplish. Ornamental Cate Posts The decorative value of well designed gate posts is so well recognized that they are often used merely for ornamentation and without the purpose of enclosure. Concrete gate posts ar* more commonly nsed because they last ao well and are so to build. For driveway posts the best measurement* vary from 14 Inches square to 28 Inches square, and the heights from 5 feet to 8 feet Smaller posts are more suitable for narrower drives with less formal treatment. Cities Fight Smoke Smoke nuisance in cities is again receiving the attention of civic authorities and organizations tn their campaUm for its elimination, reports to the Interior department at Washington indicate. The campaign was zuspemk'd during the war, when most of the «-ountry's smoke ordinances were held in abeyance to allow industries to operate unrestrictedly when maximum production was necessary. With the return of normal conditions many cities have shown a determination to take up this matter seriously.

white bleached dandelions —which, j served with chopped onion and any kind of salad dressing are truly worth while. Another dressing to be used over the fresh uncooked greens Is: Dutch Dressing. Wash and drain onb pint of tender greens, cut Into two-inch • pieces. Cut two ounces of bacon into small cubes and fry until crisp and brown. Beat one egg -until light; add two tablespoonfuls of sugar, one-quarter of a tablespoonful of salt, one-third of a cupful of water, one-quarter of a cupful of vinegar. Pour this mixture into a frying pan with the bacon; mix well, stirring constantly until thickened. It should be about of the consistency of cream. Pour hot over the greens and serve at once. The tender onions, the multipliers, are early, full of mineral salts and vltamines which are needed to keep the body In good health. The poke in the South, the milkweed stalks in the North, cooked Just as they first come up, are tender, nicely flavored and as tasty a dish as much of the early asparagus. Dock and wild mustard make very good cooked greens, as well as the sheep sorrel and ragweed so common In the field. Lamb’s quarters cooked with dandelion greens have flavor as well as variety. Asparagus With Buttered Crumbs. Boil a bunch of asparagus. Place on a platter. In a saucepan put four tablespoonfuls of butter, one-half cupful of fresh bread crumbs: fry a deep brown. Sprinkle over the asparagus, with salt, pepper and minced parsley. Garnish with sliced, hard-cooked eggs. Serve with melted butter. (©, ISM, Western Newepeper Union.) o Milk In Los Angeles.
