Alhanibra, A TEST OF NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING - - It is announced from New York sources that the Belgian relief fund In that field has passed the million. dollar mark. It is the fact that this achievement in. philanthropy is due first and foremost to newspaper advertising, Most of that money has been directly contributed to collec tion centers designated by the newspapers and the method of contribution and the amounts contributed in specific Instances indicate that the giving was in response to newspaper urging. For example, it is of record that the lowest contribution, one cent, was made by a Chinese laundryman, who said that he saw in the newspapers that that amount would be received. Here is another instance covering larger contributions, yet .evidently those made by people in moderate circumstances. By a. -certain committee there was simultaneous insertion of an ad vertisement with coupon attachment in three of the big New York dailies. In less than, a week more than $25,000 was collected, all of which was traceable to those coupon advertisements. It was not only by the direct appeal in paid advertisements that the newspapers helped in this splendid work J hor was it the New York nor yet the Eastern papers alone that helped swellthe financial Tesult for the relief of the suffering Belgians. ' The case of Belgiumvwas exploited as a stupendous human inter est story the country over; and relief was vastly the more gen erously afforded on that account. The American newspaper . never did better work In the cause of humanity; it never better demonstrated the value of thepublicity which it gives. Tele gram, "T BUILDING FOR A DAY. 1 ; Probably the most hopeful thing architecturally about Am erican cities, says the Saturday evening Post, is that nobody, expects them to last long. We read without surprise, 'for ex ample, that a Chicago structure Is so antiquated it no longer pays expenses and interest. It was erected nearly twenty-five years ago and naturally is out of date. It is considerably higher than any business structure we recall in London, or Paris, or Berlin. Probably an American builder Would consider its modern improvements in advance of anything to be found In those cities; but to pay In an American city it should be twice as high. All our skyscrapers' are monuments to the landlord, piling ever higher and higher rental values to a given plot of ground. Their natural concomitants are vast and serried' flat buildings, packed subways and , straphangers 'In the surface and elevated care. A powerful! tendency to pfte up in one spot 'Is visible In Inbst' American towns. The idea is 'tb 'get all the bufsmess',' if possible, on a given forty acres. Hiving business naturally means hiving people and tremendous demands for 'transportation in the hours when they shuttle between business hive and 'dwelling hive, j Perhaps this is more economical than the slow old European style of sprawling at large and mixing business and residence all UP together; but Its effects are less agreeable to the eye. That we have not, on the whole, made up our minds as to.how a city should be built, is indicated by the facility with which we tear down and build over. It we should presently decide to build New York, say, horizontally instead of perpendicularly, there is no thing in our architectural habits to prevent us from pulling the thing down in a few weeks and doing it .over again. i ' Right now is the time to do some effective work1 on thedk't roads. Rains of last week moistened the ground a' little, and now a treatment with a drag will level up the road';arid put it inshape for good travel during the summer.' Constant repair is' the one big secret of good roads. A railroad that failed to keep section men going over its line constantly would soon deter iorate and fall to pieces; If a shaky railroad is bad, so is a wagon road that is 'hard to travel over, -' nf ' ; Tragedy came closer tb Springfield Sunday and laid a heavy hand upon a near neighbor.
