That term "tho City Dcautirul" sounds like tying pink ribbons around lamp posts. Even as applied to civic art, as distinct from city planning, the name is sufficiently misleading. It Is tho Idea indicated by that unfortunate, falsifying phraso that Raymond Un win, in his admirable "Town Planning in Practice," lampoons. "Civic art is too often understood to consist of fllllng our streots with marblo fountains, dotting our squares with groups of statuary, twining our lampposte with wriggling acanthus leaves or dolphins' tails, nnd our buildings with meaningless bunches of fruit nnd flowers tied up with impos sible stono ribbons'." It is not tho prettifying of cities that is the object of city planners. Tho building of intraurban, intercity and Interstate transit facilities, the con struction of sowers, of gutters, of gar bage disposal plants, tho destruction of Insanitary areas to be replaced by decent housing, the development of port facilities, the upbuilding of tho health of the city through tho crea tion of playgrounds and parks parks primarily as health agents, not prettl flcatlon measures all of these and others are tho chief alms of city plan ning. There will, of course, he a nec essary Improvement In the appear ance of the city as tho natural result of skill in city building, and that im provement is an entirely proper ob ject, but It ought not to be permitted to paralyze tho whole movement through the creation of an entirely in correct understanding of the ends to be attained. Other phrases have been suggested, which are useful as antitoxins io that "City Beautiful" phrase, but they gen erally accent eome one phase of city planning at tho expenso of the others. "The City Practical," "The City Use ful," "The City Scientific" are exam ples. One of the best Is negative. It was coined by Robert W. De Forest and represents the movement as aim ing to exterminate the "Unregulated City Hideous." But no phrase yet suggested epito mizes the wide range of city planning, and least of all can it be said that tho "City Beautiful" is the central thought of ito exponents. HAS NO PLACE IN STREETS Authorities Give Warning as to the Noxious Character of the Orna mental Plane Tree. Residents of towns where the plan j tree has been planted In the streets in j large numbers will feel considerable ' Interest in some remarks made con cerning that tree by an Australian pa- I per, from which the following is an ' extract: "If you aro planting orna mental trees beware of tho planes. In the height of the summer's heat many I people will bo found coughing and sneezing, and, incidentally, blasphem- lng tho weather and the season gen- ' erally. What has been the cause of j the epidemic? Tho victims have in haled the emanations or ejections of the insidious plane tree. An English I authority on forestry, Dr. Henry, takes tho popular view to be correct, and another authority adds that ar, far back as 1873 the newly installed Ger man authorities In Alsace wore warn ed against tho danger. Nurserymen complain of ailments brought on them by contact with the mild looking Upas tree. A London paper brings classic lore to the theme of abuse. The an cient Greeks, we are told, wore proud of their plane tree, which Xerxes much admired; but their great physicians wore well aware of tho noxious na ture of tho plane." London Globe. Traffic and the City Plan. There was a time when the city planning movement touched tho prob lem of transportation very gingerly. About the railroad company hung an awful air of "touch me not" Tho most that the timid city planners could hope to do with the railroad company was to persuade it to plant a few shrubs about the depot and to hire a one-legged switchman to keep the grass cut But now, praise be, the city planning 'movement Is growing to be what Us name implies. It is not afraid to move a railroad around when It needs to. Indeed, tho very first problem which it attacks, in a given locality, Is the problem of transporta tion.

' Operator Finds It Easy to Alter Fine Writing, but Difficult With Cale graphy of Ignorant "Man ual" Used by Crooks. Chicago. A Chicago crook sat in a room just off La Salle street four years ago studying a check. It was made out for $27, and was certified by the state bank on which It was drawn. The crook's specialty was check rais ing. He was preparing to steul a for tune with tho little piece of paper. The president of a cement construc tion company had written the check. Ho had taken what ho thought proper business precautions. He wrote "twenty-seven," drew a horizontal line through two short vertical lines, and added "and 00-100" before the word "dollars" on the check. The long horizontal lino through the two short vertical lines, often termed a "hlckey," is a fiequent device againBt the unscrupulous. The man in the back room just off T.a Salle street made three movements with his pen and the "hlckey" became "th." Then he wrote "ous," tho word "and" com pleting "thousands." Three ciphers wero added to the figures in the line above. The certified check was then deposited in a trust and savings bank, and a withdrawal of $27,000 was im mediately made againBt it. A veteran thief catcher in Chicago recently, in recounting this Incident, added that there exists among pro fessional check raisers what amounts o a manual. "Write mo a check," he urged a vis itor. A check for $200 was written. It was passed over to the detective. Within two minutes, without un eras uro being made, it called for $500. "By the 'manual' the figure 'two' is always potential of 'five,' " ho explain ed. "The aim Is alwayH to avoid the Interlining or the extending of wpj;d3. Check raisers know all the characters which lend themselves to change's that cannot be detected. The capital 'T,' rb most of us write it, can. for in stance, be changed to the capital 'P' without tho slightest trouble. "Hore nre a few of tho changes that can bo made almost as fast as writ ten: " 'One' to 'eight.' "'Two' to 'five.' " 'Ten' to 'fifty.' " 'Four' to 'forty.' " 'Twenty' to 'seventy ' "Now, the figure 't,' for instance, may be readily formed into any other figure save '2' and '3.' "The word 'hundred' may be formed easily from tho ripping scroll that many write after a sum. Almost any movement of lines that have any regu larity may be formed into words. "The hardest check to raise or alter is the one written by a nqnrly illiter ate person," the expert continues. "The gracefully flowing hand is the easiest changed. "There Is, In fact, no comparison between raising checks with a genu ine slgnaturo and forging the signa ture itself so far as the ease of exe cution is concerned. "Of course, banks and business house, many of them, at least, pro tect themselves nowadays with de vices that brand a limitation of the check indelibly Into tho very toxture of the paper, In this field, too, many dovlces at first thought absolute safe guards w'ero soon outwitted by tho crooks. Filling Perforated Checks. "Take a machine that perforated tho paper with tho exact amount for which the check was drawn. Heally all that was needed was a common little punch and a bottle of invisible glue. Every crook knows where to AX-MARKED PETRIFIED TREE Woodsman Makes a Very Interesting i Discovery on a Mon tana Butte. Great Falls, Mont. Proof that men inhabited this part of tho world In pre historic timos and ovon then used axes and showed judgment In felling trees, has been devoloped by Colomon Ab bott of Shslby, north of this city. Not far from tho Sullivan ranch and near tho junction of Cut Bank creek OF WATERPOWER DEVELOPMENTS put his handB on that. Or cIbo thoy use a bit of money mender and then peel It off. "But what docs the crook do? He has a check perforated $300. He takes Ills little punch (and punches from tho edge of tho check a few tiny disks of the same size. With a needle Up he plugs up the holes In tho last dollar sign. After the glue is dry ho punches a cipher in its place and a dollar mark after it. Where the machino perfor ated an entire letter, tho crook bought a smaller machino and filled up the perforations before making new ones to suit himself."
