HENRY FREEND OPTOMETRIST Eyes Sci&atiiieally Examined Definite Pattern for Cities Seen at Vital The growing practice of fitting American cities to a definite pattern rather than allowing them to grow as they will is disclosed In a report of the civic development department of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States on city planning and zoning accomplishments. This practice, which originated twenty or more years ago, has stead lly grown until at the present time more than 000 American cities have adopted some form of city planning. "City planning," the report explains, "is the proper co-ordination of civic development, to the end that a city may grow in a more orderly way and provide adequate facilities for living, working and recreation. "To serve the community best a comprehensive city plan most co-ordinate all physical improvements, even at the possible expense of subordinating individual desires. City planning applies the fundamental principles of 4business corporations to civic development. It means the budgeting of future Improvements to obtain an orderly and uniform growth for the entire community and prevent overexpanslon of one phase of development at the expense of others." Health Department it County's Great Need Alt you living in a county without an organised health department? asks Dr. R. O. Beachley In Hygela, the health magazine published by the American Medical association. If you do, you are not receiving proper health protection from your local government. State departments Of health cannot carry on Intensive health work In every county In a state. Therefore the only way to "maintain proper health standards is to have an efficient health department in every county. No investment can yield greater dividends than money for public health, Doctor Beachley continues. A whole-time health department will reduce the amount of sickness from such diseases as typhoid fever, diphtheria, smallpox and scarlet fever by almost 75 per cent during the first five years of its existence, he declares. The typical health department consists of a physician who Is a graduate of a medical college with special training in public health work; one or two graduate nurses who have studied public health; one or two sanitary inspectors and i clerk-stenographer. If possible, a laboratory should be provided- KEEP IN IKE TO AVOID CONGESTION Motorists Should Stop Wavering Courses on City _ Streets. Disorderly alignment of traffic on heavily traveled streets and the oldfashioned regulation requiring drivers to pass on the left when overtaking vehicles are two of the factors responsible for the failure of most American cities to use their overcrowded streets to more than 75 per cent of capacity, according to studies made by the Albert Russel Ersklne bureau for street traffic research. Movf on Fixed Tracks. "If sll vehicles moved on fixed tracks It would be possible to accommodate a much larger number on a given roadway," declares Miller Mc- Clin took, director of the bureau, which is endowed In Harvard university. "Part of the present confusion and danger on the streets result from the wavering course of vehicles. This in turn results In wasteful spacing and in collisions. This condition is especially acute on curves and at street intersections. On curves traffic has a tendency to follow the shortest course, while at Intersections drivers often draw op In Irregular lines when waiting for a traffic signal, and make It impossible for the maximum number of vehicles to approach the inters section or move through it In orderly alignment Cut Across Curves. Part of the tendency to cut across curves has been eliminated by the widespread use of lines marking the center of the roadway. This principle can be further extended, however. In reports prepared by the Ersklne bureau on intensive street traffic surveys made in Chicago, and more recently in San Francisco, It is recommended that the entire width of the roadway be divided into lanes on eurves and at intersections. In the latter instance the lanes should be marked within 100 feet of the Intersection. Lanes should not be less than 0 feet wide, and may be as much wider as required to obtain an equal division of the roadway. Hard Starting Eagtaa Trouble Laid to Plugs A alow starting angina, tha bane of motorists, is frequently corrected by attention to the spark plugs, accord- Ing to David Gregg, research engineer, who recites this interesting experience. "An automotive engineer visiting a laboratory complained that his car was hard to start in spite of a recent overhaul and adjustment His spark plugs had only been in use for 12,000 miles and he said there was nothing wrong with tl.ern. "Using some laboratory equipment, the sparking voltage of the plugs was measured and found to be 0,700 volts, almost the limit of his spark coll. A new set of plugq. was Installed and the voltage rqguired to fire them was only 4,000. The engine started with a snap and Idled smoothly. "There Is nothing mysterious about this action," Gregg explains. "Bach one of the old plugs had produced more than 25,000,000 pparks and the electrical characteristics had slowly changedT^lth increasing resistance and electrical leakage. This Is why all spark plugs should be looked after at least once a year to get the best results." HOW1 Shade Trees a Necessity "The city of fine shade trees Is the city beautiful" -- Charles Lathrop Pack talking--"When the traveler gives thought to the world's most beautiful cities, he thinks Instinctively of Washington and Paris; and in thinking of them he delights in the memory of their wealfli of trees. Ia each of these cities great architects and gifted artists have created buildings of rare splendor and stately grace. The chief charm of both cities, however, is found in the magnificent shade trees which line their streets and beautify their lawns, parks and public grounds. Who can picture Six tefenth street or Massachusetts avenue, or any of the streets of Washington deprived of shade tree beauty 1 Visualize without their trees the city streets and parks with which you are familiar, and see what becomes of the City Beautiful 1" California Parks Set New Marie for Tourists All records for number of visitors in California's four national parks were broken in 1927 and the figures Indicate that new records were established for all states. Compilations Just made from government reports by the Automobile Club of Southern California touring bureau chow that the four California national parks registered a total gain of 52 per cent last year. In 1096 there were 432,940 persons visited these parks, and In 1927 the total was 100, a gain of 226,250. The tremendous percentage of increase for California was brought about largely by Yosemito, which topped all others in popularity. The attendance there leaped from 274,200 In 102ft to 400,000 in 1027, a gain of 21&22L This remarkable Increase is credited largely to the new all-year road which has tarred to stimulate travel into (ho park ovary month of the year. California's four parks registered a total of more than 23 per cent of all visitors In aU parks during the year. The 10 national playgrounds showed 2,707340 visitors, a considerable increase over the previous year. Tire Chains Will Last Longer When Reversed If you will examine your tire chains, you will find that the wear comes at th6 points indicated in the drawings above and, owing to the curve of each link, when you turn the chain over, the wear comes at a different point on the link.

And what's more, it has found a way to bottle It and keep it cool I The new light was discovered and has been perfected in Los Angeles by Wlllard Tracy, local scientist and graduate of the California Institute of Technology at Pasadena, and Curt Grelner, German scientist. The light is gold In color, and mora closely resembles sunlight than any other artificial light known to science. It is called neogold, which means "new gold." It is remarkable for its brilliancy, and can be seen at great distances. It Is capable of penetrating fog, and is said to be very economical in operation. This new light Is produced in luminous tube form, similar to the red and blue neon tubes now used so successfully In advertising signs. Its Inventors have succeeded In synthetically producing sunlight In somewhat the same way that the sun itself produces light. At the same time, by a very Ingenious method the two scientists have been able to control this light and to keep it cool. The lamp Is in the form of a tube, which is composed of ft specially made glass. This tube is first evacuated, and a combination of chemical gases is Introduced. When excited by a high voltage electric current those gases become luminous and create a pure gold light The tests that have been made have attracted wide attention among scientists on the Pacific coast How Thieves of East India Cbnceal Booty Thieves In India resort to various clever devices to make away with their loot, but the strangest of all, In the opinion of Col.
