HARRM LORD J tftli Tooting Our Own Horn •Hidustiy has come to recognize the commercial value of good schools, good bousing, good planting, good churches and good health," B. Letcher Lambuth told fellow realtors at an Industrial property conference at the national real estate convention in San Francisco. "All of these," Mr. Lamboth said, "are safeguarded in tlm model industrial cfty. Gary schools are not only model educational institutions; they are a profitable Investment, as far as the steel corporation contributes, directly or indirectly, to their construction and maintenance. ••Cities of this character are some, times built to house the labor of a great Industrial corporation, as In the case of Gary and Granite City; sometimes to develop business for a railrond, as In Klngsport, Tenn. Equrfl 01 greater, perhaps, in magnitude, although differing in scope, are the central Industrial district and the clearing industrial district in Chicago and North Kansas City, Mo. "Each of these, and many others with which I am not familiar, are major real estate operations which, in the end when properly designed and administered, wih rival In Interest and sometimes In profit the original operation which they were designed to supplement and serve. "Their great Interest lies In the ftict that they Isolate and demonstrate the factors which make for the success of commercial and Industrial cities. "Permanent and productive Industry Is a combination of capital, labor and management Management selects a location where raw materials may be assembled, manufactured and jmarketed most conveniently and profitably. Commerce and business serve Industry. "Cities are trade centers, points where raw materials may be assembled, manufactured and marketed with the greatest convenience and economy, There capital and labor and management congregate. "The prosperity and growth of cities depend upon their ability to Attract and sustain business, commerce and Industry." Tin Pan alley, like Its lyrical re* trains, has its Joys and sorrows.

To avoid the common condition that Industrial plants encounter of having to do business on a "residential basis,' denied large-scale facilities in their vicinity on account of protests by residence owners, Alameda, Calif., with other cities, has established industrial sones In which no new permits to build residences will be granted. A lead' log municipal engineer is quoted as saying that the prohibition of resi dences in industrial zones is one of the most Important protections to put in" a zoning ordinance. This method la being relied on to develop Hoboken , J., as a great Industrial terminal In New Jeraey it has bete found that the unzoned suburban town Is at a distinct disadvantage as compared with the community protected by a sonlng ordinance. People are asking themselves why they should Invest money in a home or lend money on mortgage In an unprotected, unzoned locality. The zoned towns are actually absorbing the better grade of development The result has been that builders^ architects and real-estate owners In unzoned towns persistently urge their local councils to adopt zoning, so that they may have as good a selling proposition to offer prospee tlve clients as their competitors In the zoned towns. Information concerning zoning progress in states and cities of the United States has been made available by the division of building and housing of the Department of Commerce at Washington, D. C. A selected bibliography o£ zoning is issued by the dlvlsl^ a>ad may be obtained on application^ About the easiest thing in the world for a member of congress to do Is to introduce a bill. All one needs to do is to write the bill out on a piece of paper and put it In the basket on the clerk's desk. Then It has been introduced. Many bills are introduced, hut few are passed. In the last congress 16,170 bills and 559 Joint and concurrent resolutions were Introduced in the house and 5,052 bills and 304 Joint and concurrent resolutions in the senate. Out of all of these, 09 public resolutions and 521 bills passed and became laws of the land. The record for the greatest number of bill3 Introduced was made In the Sixty-first-congress, when 34,383 bills and resolutions were Introduced In the house alone, out of which 810 became law. When the cierk gets hold of the bill he refers It to the appropriate committee. And there it may rest In peaceful slupiber forever more, or it may be heard from again If enough pressure p*>j BLOW AFFECTS THE Sudden Shock to Brain Cauees £e.n«*- tten Known to Many of Ua^"v "Seeina 8tars." feach of the five senses has its special set of nerves through which sensations are recorded in the brain. With the exception of the nerves of touch, which extend to all parts of the body, these perform special functions for certain individual organs, the nerves of sight being connected with the eyes, those of smell with the nose, those of taste with the mouth, and those of hearing with the ears. Whenever the brain receives a iudden shock, such as would follow a blow on the head, the vision nerves are disturbed in such a way as to produce the effect of seeing dashes of light, or "stars." The sensitive eye^-nerves cannot be Jarred without producing this effect of light, while a severe blow will often react In a similar manner on the nerves of hearing, thus leading the person who is struck to imagine that he is listening to unusual noisea. ^ Fresh Water in the Sea. tt%ring of fresh water, which wells up through the sea off Elbury cove, Churston Ferrers, in Torbay, off the British coast. Is attracting a large number of visitors. This is the best time of the year to locate the spring, and yachts are being anchored at the spot, so that visitors may taste the water. The real source has never been found. It is surmised that the waters from the rainfall near Elbury and the northern hills finds a course in the same valley, and then forces Itself up through tttte sea at a distance of 90 to 100 yards off the beach. The circular space of the fresh water is plainly visible from the rocks, and the white pebbly beach at all stages of the yde.

One darky, anxious to find a wife for his son, went to this agent, who handed him a list of lady clients. Running through this the man came upon his own wife's name, entered as desirous of obtaining a husband between the ages of twenty-eight and thirty. Forgetting about his son the darky hurried home to announce his discovery to his wife. She was not at all disturbed. Yes," she said. "I done give him my name.

The use of a light sprinkling of nitrate on the lawn is the best and quickest way to produce a luxuriant stand of blue-green sward early in the season. The action of the nitrate of soda may be noted if a lump of the nitrate Is dropped on the lawn.

Imagine it, if you can. No man can read fast enough to keep up with all bills introduced. Most committees get more bills referred to them than can be given intelligent consideration. So, naturally, the bills which have the greatest support in the country get first consideration. Congress gives first consideration to the appropriation and revenue bills. These and some other bills of nation-wide Importance come along automatically. /; Hearing* on Bill*., When a committee decide* to five consideration to a bill, If it concerns many people or interests, hearings are held. That Is, people Interested are Invited to come in and tell the committee why they think the bill should or should not become a law. Sometimes these hearings are quite* elaborate affairs. Some last several weeks and hunclreds of people come from all over the country to testify for or against the bill. The tariff bill hearing brought experts and prominent representatives of every line of industry to Washington. * The appropriations committee has 35 members, the ways and means 25 members and other important committees have 21 members each. The members Sit around a long table and the witness addresses them. The witness must know what he is talking about If he would make a good Impression. Any member may Interrupt him at any time with' any questi«»n, and before he gets through the committee is likely to find out all he knows and some he doesn't know about his subject. The hearings are open to the public. An official reporter takes down everything vthat is said, and later the hearings are printed In paper-bound book form. Some of these hearings, like that on the tariff, for instance, run Into thousands of paras. They bring out a vast amount or useful information, and some of the printed hearings are practically textbooks on the subject discussed. The printed hearings are given to all members, so that they may become posted on any proposed legislation. Others who are Interested may, at times, get copies. After the hearings are closed the committee holds executive sessions and discusses the bill. It may decide not to report it out. This practically kills a bill. It may decide on some or many amendments to the bill, or It may rewrite the bill In another form usually some are adopted. On one Mil over 300 amendments were offered. Often amendments are offered in order to weaken the bill and help to defeat it. Amendments not supported by the committee* have hard sledding and few are passed. Occasionally amendments are offered by members merely to enable them to make a speech that may please constituents interested. It has been estimated that only about Ave per cent of the amendments ©£> fered on the floor are adopted. , t*r \ When the bllf is read through for amendments, which Is the secondj reading, the committee of the whole* " - votes on reco aim rating its paRsageJ X' If this Is favorable the committee! , • then "rises" and the speaker takes ^ ^ the chair and calls the house to order.'

The speaker concluded his remarks by pointing to the object of his attack: There he sits, Mr. Speaker--there he sits, mute, silent and dumb!" •Yes Mr. Speaker," interrupted Unde Boggs, "and he isn't saying a word."--Pittsburg Leader.

When the bill is reported out it goes on the calendar. There are several kinds of calendars, operating for different classes of bills under different rules. Debating the Measure. The big bills come up In the committee of the whole house on the state of the Union. Debate Is usually two or four hours, though any amount of time may be agreed upon. Sometimes 12 or 14 hours has been agreed on. The time is equally divided between the majority and minority sides. The greatest fairness as to division and distribution of time always prevails. The time Is parceled out by the chairman of the committee In charge on the majority side and the ranking minority members on the other side. The bill Is first read. Then comes the debate. Sometimes members must stick to the subject under ^discussion and sometimes they are permitted to talk about anything undar the sun. Here Is where campaign speeches Sometimes get In. After the hours for general debate have been used up the bill Is read again by sections for amendments. This Is termed "reading the bill under the five-minute rule," as no member may talk more than five minutes, except by unanimous consent. No member can get the floor except to advocate or oppose an amendment Members do often make a motion "to strike put the last word" or "last two worte. etc., In order to get the floor for five tninutes. __ . _ .
