The greatest zoning cen ter is in the territory in New York, state and northern New Jer sey, having New York City for its hub; other centers are in Califor nia, Ohio, assachusetts, Illinois and Wisconsin. Secretary Hoover, In a ' recent statement, characterized properly drawn zoning ordinances as "rea sonable, neighborly agreements as to the use of land." They divide a city Into districts In which are limited the use to which land and structures may be put; the height and number of stories of the build ings; and the areas of the lots to be occupied by the buildings. Their professed object is to regul ate the use of private real estate for the purpose of promoting health, safety morals and the gen eral welfare' of the entire com munity. That the idea has made a strong appeal to the American people is shown by the rapid spread of zon ing. On January 1, 1923 there were only 129 zoned cities, towns and villages. The first comprehen sive effort to zone was the passage ) i i Buy Your LUMBER and all Building Materials at the place where you can get the most per dollar That's at the COEBS & MITCHELL CO. ; A. B.

Cities, towns and boroughs throughout) the country generally are showing more than a passing interest In zoning.. Where author ity Is granted, various municipali ties are actively engaged in the solution of their zoning problems with enthusiastic zoning commis sions and auxiliary committees at work. Even where state legisla tion does not authorize zoning. various public-spirited ana pro gressive organizations are study ing the local situation so that when zoning can be effected leg ally, much of the preliminary work; will be finished. ,j New Jersey leads In the num ber of zoned municipalities, hav ing 66; New York has 41; Cali fornia has S3; - Illinois, 25; Mas sachusetts, 24; Ohio, 16; Wiscon sin, 13; Indiana, 5 ; Michigan and Missouri, 4 each; Iowa and Rhode Island, 3 each; Florida, Minnesota Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington, 2 each; ad Ar kansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, - Maryland, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina.

Then, added to that is the method adop ted for handling used cars. This Question is becoming L a greater problem every , year because more and more cars are becoming prac tically valueless i and I In spite of the fact that mechanically they; would be able to furnish consi derable transportation, unless the buyer of a used car is on the alert, or doesn't buy from a dependable firm, he is in danger of becoming1 the owner of a machine which Is not worth the money he pays.

Forty-five per cent of all new business taken during the week women believe that opposition to the amendment la based upon mis understanding and narrow-minded nesH, and have. been endeavoring to ret a" clear understanding in their own orpaizations in order to spread it about their commuities. The League of Women Voters ' has an especially keen interest in the women's property rights bill. which Mrs. Wlllametta McElroy, one of the league's active mem bers, is redrafting with A L. Veazle.

Nov. 17 (AP) The lack of a standard size, of recent years, for German paper money, or rather of a standard that could be expected to endure, has made difficulties for, the manufacturers of pocketbooks. They never knew what size to trim their leather. The new paper money of today, the renten mark, has approximate ly the shape of the American greenback, but is a little smaller. Its permanence seeming well as sured, the bill-fold makers are go ing ahead full blast to meet an active demand. AN WEEK.
