LONDON SUBURBS
TO BE CITIES OF
FLOWER GARDENS
Esst City Will House 40,000
People and Will Be Self
Supporting in
. Food. -
By, FLOYD MACCRIFF,
Intmurtlonal ?fw Bnrle Staff
i rorrropondrat. ,
London, Sept. 27. London is to
have new garden city suburb, to
' be the first of a series of such satel
iitet to suck away London's Over-
population..
- ' This garden city will house 40,
600 persons, be independent and
self-supporting so far as food is con
cerned and be an acfuality in jsome
four years.
' Backed By Government.
The propect is backed by the gov-
' eminent. Ultimately it is hoped to
i have a ring of such cities around
London, say. within 25 minqtes'
train service.
.- " Building operations will begin
- next year. Some 4,000 acres will be
required for the new community,
2,500 of which will be devoted to in
tensive agriculture within the
suburb's limits. Small industries
will be fostered. .
v The whole idea is to prevent Lon
don from growing larger. London
today is top-heavy, from whatever,
angle the matter is viewed trans
portation food supply, housing,
congestion, etc. The idea is to
build up farm citieswhich will allow
the worker. to live under 'more
healthful conditions, doing away
with the transit problem altogether.
The future development of the city
will be strictly limited.
Streets Lined With Trees.
All the Streets in this model city
will be lined with trees and grade?
plotted, like they are in so many
American cities. That idea has
never been given a chance here.
There will he no rows of houses,
nor blocks of houses. The town
planner will be i" all his glory.
There will be a I usiness center, a
social center, a municipal center
nd most of the low-rent, cottages
will each have a plot of. ground to
help out the breadwinner so that
he'll never want to go back to
, smoky London town.
' ,The city will have its own electric
light, water and power plant. Care
will be taken to prevent the city re
trograding into an unhealthful,
purely industrial place.
- Alaska Snow Motors. o
Ketchikan. Alaska, Seph 27. Dog
teams, which for years have pulled
the mail sleds over wintry Alaska
snow trails, may be replaced by
motors. A Seattle firm is reported
building motor sleds designed to
- pull trailers. Mail will be earned
aver some of the Alaska routes by
Hfutotor leds this year,

Ballyhoo, Who Relate In Their Interesting Way the Wonders of Their
'
Once Valuable Mine
Now Worth $20,000
Grass Alley, Cal.,Sept. 27. The
famous f'Paddy" Campbell mine,
known as1 the Blue Point and lo
cated near Smartsville, one time es
timated to be worth ; in excess of
$1,000,000, is to be sold for $20,000.
This has just been revealed here
by the filing of a suit by E. P. Fitz
simmons asking for the appointment
of a receiver and an accounting.
Fitzsimmons alleges that $1,000
has been owing to him for Service
since 1902, and that the property is
about to be transferred without the
debt being liquidated.
Sidney B. Wood, to whom the
property is about to be transferred,
has been operating the mine , in a
small way; for several months. The
mine is one of the many large hy
draulic properties greatly damaged
by the passage . of the anti-debris
legislation 35 years ago.
Study Anatomical Form
With Motion Pictures
Inspired by the .success of motion
pictures as teachers of airplane and
engine constructi6n, a British army
surgeon has prepared a stries of an
atomical films which have proved
highly valuable in classroom work.
In the pictures a complete skeleton
is first displayed at all angle's, and
then begins to disintegrate, the
process bdng slowly continued until
the backbone alone is left. The skele
ton is then reassembled each bone
being clearly indicated before it
takes its place, to impress its form
and purpose firmly upon the minds
of the spectators.
Tobacco Chew for Life.
Venice, Cal., Sept 27. A fat man
rescued from drowning in the surf
here by James Kirby and George
Townsend, lifeguards, offered his
rescuers a chew of tobacco as a re
ward. They refused
He calmly took it himself and departed.

by John W. and Lent H. Hill
On damp, chiily summer days; frosty, cold days of spring and
fall; during periods of severe winter we have all wished for a con
venient and effective way of bringing up the house temperature
quickly. ... " ' ; :
"' This is now provided in the Humphrey Radian tf ire which al
most instantly throws out heat of the sort you have only known
before as coming from heavy beds of glowing coals.
r This marvelous new source of heat is at your immediate call
any time, any place that gas is obtainable. ;
Localize your heating to the rooms where you spend your time
and save a ton of coal a month, and the Humphrey Radiantfirc
makes it a pleasure. y ;
Costs on the average 2 to 3 cents per hour.
Radiantfire Type De Luxe No. 102.
The glowing radiant incandescence
of the Radiantfire will bring cheer and ,
comfort to your hearth. It solves the
problem of the unused fireplace. It is
an ornament and an economy to any
home. l .

The Advantage of Radiant Heat
Radiant heat is heat derived from energy waves "projected through
the atmosphere from an incandescent mass. It carries its warmth directly
to that body upon which the radiating heat waves fall and is, therefore,
very different from so-called "convected heat," which merely warms the air
surrounding it. It is radiant heat that you enjoy whn seated in a sunny
window on a winter's morning. This radiant sun-heat has traveled
through the frigid temperature of outer space for 95,000,00 miles and yet
bathes you in warmth upon a zero day. Again it is radiant heat that beats
upon you through the car .window as the train rolls by a pile of burning
ties. It is radiant heat you feel also when seated close up to. an open
wood fire. And now at last for the first time, this living radiant heat is
made available for general heating in the home with gas fuel. It is be
yond comparison the most healthful, satisfying type of heat because it
warms th body, yet leaves, the air in the room both cool and fresh for
breathing, The room that is heated by the RADIANT! iRE will never
feel "elbse" and "stuffy." '
The Radiantfire in the Living-Room.
Tho Radiantfire is most ornamental in design and finish.
There are different types from massive bronze to dainty white
Colonial to harmonize with any style of furnishing and decora
tion. .... f
The Radiantfire in the Dining-Room.
The Radiantfire is ideal for the dining-room a wanii toom
and a cheerful, cozy, open blaze ready for every meal without wood
to carry or a fire to watch afterwards-
. The Radiantfire in the Bed-Room.
The Radiantfire is a cheerful comfort in the bed-room. It
gives warmth instantly .for dressing in the morning and nt the
children's bed time. It is clean and absolutely safe.
The Radiantfire in the Library.
The Radiantfire ;glows and shimmers like a huge incandescent
opal, with all the firelight effects that charm and fascinate. It is
a cozy, comfortable fire to sit by in the library.
