peed nute Is | for Man m There is a beauty of the country, and there is the beauty of a town which is well and nobly planned. ‘ What is wanted is a campaign of round and sane building, and this can ¢nly be assured by the mobilization of public opinion in its favor. * Not so Jery long ago, Mr. Baldwin plea#ed for an education of public epinvion which would "save the coun tryside from the afrocities which are now too often committeed." Mr. Ramsay MacDonald is apparentâ€" ly of the same mind, judging by the following utterance :"Every day that goes past, some offensive bungalow, ©r some abomination of a building echeme . . . destroys not only the imâ€" mediate spot where it is placed, but the whole sweep of the countryside. Public Apathy "Something really must be done to #stop it and nothing can be" done until public opinion is shocked by the atrocities and roused to action." Well, public opinion has certainly been shocked, and continues to suffer fresh shocks every day. But little inâ€" terest is being shown in the steps taken to prevent or remedy the evil. It is not a question of expense. Peoâ€" ple can build at once well and cheaply." The only real necessity is competent| rupervigion. Proposed building | schemes should be supervised and lD'! proved by local county committees composed of people with a keen apâ€" preciation of the beauty of the counâ€" tryside. What has been done in Oxâ€" fordshire and the Thames Valley whould be copied elsewhere. It is a question of taking the larger view; whetker a new building on a certain site, of a certain atyle, and of a certain material will be in keeping with its surroundings or not; or whether it could not be altered withâ€" cut detracting from its asefulness and at the same time add to the beauty of its «urroundings instead of marring #} The "Fans‘" Who Only Watch Dr. A. A. Brillâ€" in North Amerfcan Review: For the great majority, un able to surpass and shine, to become champions and heroes, prefer the vicarious trinmphs of a chosen idol to the dull level of mediocrity. It is not Inziness that makes 99 fans to one player: it is not even the difficulty of inventing and providing games for multitudes of players. No, it is the fact than an ancient instinct, and. a #ound one, impels the average man to Identify himself with Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey, Bill Tilden or Waster Ha Â¥en, rather than to play bimseif, withâ€" wut distinction. To play the game, win or lose would serve our physical good,. but only m’h, the dom of an opponent, the chrism of ap plan«e, canâ€" preserve our payohic health. ‘That is why I, for instance, gave up playing golf. The exercise, the walking and the shythmic awing of the.arms were good for my body, but my inability to turn in a card be low 100 was ‘bad for my @80.â€" _ .â€"~ During the summer months of this year thousands of holidaymakers have sought to refresh their soule and bodic« by a sight of the countryside which Constable and others made faâ€" mous. And although large tracts of upspoiled hills and felds and valleys remain much as tbey were years ago t@vellers in many parts of this counâ€" try have been appalled by architecâ€" tural crimes which are being perpeâ€" trated apparently without a though tor the bbauty which is being marred. The bungaloid peril is real. ‘The deâ€" wise to combat it is no desire fostered ty cranks anxiouns to mind other peoâ€" ple‘s busigpess, but a crusade to . pre werve from destrution _ something which is essentially English and preâ€" wiou= to English men and women. "peaking recently at Maidstone, the Archbishop of Canterbury said: "Comâ€" ing back from London this afternoon, at every eminence where I had expectâ€" «d to see a piece of the beautiful garâ€" «en of England, what has struck my ¢ye was a petrol pump, a tea kiosk, or one of those bungalows for which 1 find it impossible to find a suitable adjective." A similar thought must have been in the minds of thousands of bis felâ€" low countrymen who have the preserâ€" vation of the rural beauty of this ¢ountry at heart. If the present orgy of indiscriminâ€" ate building is allowed to go on unâ€" checked and without plan there is a danger that the English countryside will become one huge, ugly ‘suburb, without the amenities of either town ByGeneral Crozier Since the days when the great Engâ€" lsh poete and painters first made 4t famous, the quiet beauty of the Engâ€" lish countryside has been proverbial, It is a beauty which bas a quality of its own; a beauty felt and loved alike by Wordsworth and Rupert Brooke. But is is a beauty which is in danâ€" ger of being spoiled by the erection of arcless, incongruous, and ugly dwel} K1 English Homes No Longer Stately Let us buy our experience from the ection of the hideous early Colonial acks and stores, whose ugliness uld not be helped.

I saw a sea front ranged with dull white‘ I‘ houses, square and high; there was a | flatness of outline which remlnded‘ me of seaside resorts in England, | and I hunted in vain for the tapering minarets and domed _ cupolas with which the first sight of Jeddah and Suakim rewards the newcomer,. _ Alâ€" though the population is about 60 per | cent.

And the hotel, when I reached it, removed the last tinge of my first disappointment.

"a wousemoro name IN 54 counTRigs The early efforts of the In Zanzibar Brockville, Excellent Roads It was curious to be driving on exâ€" cellent roads through the exuberant scenery of an Indian Ocean Island; still more curieus was it to learn that only ten years ago Zanzibar had no roads to speak of, that transport and movement had been by jungle tracks and that there had been villages withâ€" in 15 miles of Zanzibar whose inhabitâ€" ants had never seen the inside of the city. Toâ€"day the automobile trade flourishes in tho island; there are lorâ€" ry services collecting from all the larger clove estates; and there are even motorbus servicesâ€"15 miles for half a repee. This motor transit marks the latest stage of the developâ€" ment of Zanzibar; but it has also rung the knell of what, 30 years ago, was regarded as the marvel of the island. Zanzibar boasts perhaps the oddest railway with certainly the oddest name in the world. The BuBuBu Railâ€" And then we came to the clove shambes (estates). All of us have tasted the spice, but few of us know how it grows or how it reaches the stage in which our cooks buy it for the flavoring of the apple pie. The trees are tall and bushy; their foliage resembles the bay leaf; the clove itâ€" self is the yearly blossom â€" which grows in clusters, and at barvest time has to be picked from ladders 40 to 60 feet high. When the clusters have been gathered they are separated petal by petal, and these petals are strewn on spacious terraces of beaten earth to dry out in the sun. They are then the cloves which our grocers reâ€" tail. T Di diiart cmd c asc c ca sc As first step a Protectorate Council was formed, presided over by the Sulâ€" tan, but it was purely advisory and consultative and in 1926 it was reâ€" placed by what is known as the Exâ€" ecutive and the Legislative Councilsâ€" the former presided ‘over by the Sulâ€" tan himself; the latter by the British Resident who is assisted by three ofâ€" ficial and six unofficial membersâ€"two representing the Arab, two the Indian, one the Parsee and one the European communities. ‘The formation of the Executive Council under the direct preâ€" sidency of the Sultan has passed on to native shoulders the bulk of domestic responsibility. ‘The police is native; there are native village courts of jusâ€" tice who settle their own affairs Acâ€" cording to tradition with the right of ultimate appeal to the Sultan and the British Resident. Zanzibar, in spite of its polyglot ingredients, is slowly developing a native individuality and responsibility according to the motive of the policy of the Dual Mandate. Picturesque Landscape Zanzibar is very small; its sister island Pemba is smaller still; in all, the Sultan rules over little more than 1100 square miles. But the smaliness of the islands is in the eyes of the visitor disguised by the luxuriance of its subâ€"tropical scenery, I enjoyed great hospitality during my stay; and in a full week drove the length and breadth of the island along fine macaâ€" damized roads cut through a landâ€" scape which was sheer delight. There was something in this tropical vegeâ€" tation which defeated the traveler‘s armory of adjectives. The colorsâ€" greens and blues, pinks and browns â€"were incredibly vivid; the shadows were deeper and less barsh than on | the African mainland. We drove‘ through dark avenues of enormous mango trees, and on through palm groves which looked like bunches of: knitting needles reared up, this way{ and that, against a pale blue sky. We skirted the coastâ€"one bay succeeding another; shores of dazzling white sand washed by brililant blue sea and flecked by the crissâ€"cross shadows of overhanging palms.

Lewis in the Realist (Lonâ€" don): The danger of excess of populaâ€" tion about which we hear so much these days is a remote contingency as compared with the danger of a dysgenic population, that is a populaâ€" tion with an unduly large proportion of persons of poor hysique and low mental status. If we could examine the fall of nations and the passing of ancient civilizations in the light of our present biological knowledge, we should probably find that the deciding factor was the quality and not the quantity of the men and women. The rapidly increasing tendency in modern times to breed from poor stock, toâ€" gether with the humanitarian attitude of civilization towards the physically and mentally subnormal, which to a large extent nullifies Nature‘s method of eliminating the unfit, must inevitâ€" ably result in a serious deterioration of the human material in the nations of the Western world. riages, its miniature belching engines, for 30 years â€"roared and bumped its Baby‘s Own Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach.

There is no ratio of 55â€"3 in chemical warâ€" fare, for theâ€"nitrogen of high exploâ€" sive is in all the air around us, and the. factories that produce fertilizers foods and break up the constituents of nature for drugs and dyes are, with the slightest change in their machinâ€" ery, the arsenal of high explosive and of poison gas. ‘Commercial airplanes are the longâ€"distance cannon of toâ€" day, so that if disarmament were realâ€" ly getting rid of potential weapons, we should have to limit science in its adâ€" vancing control over nature. .
