Ever notice the wife at home making little knick knacks for her company room out of odds and ends' Just wondetitil vhat the little woman can do with almost nothing, isn t it' Well, s. me day American cities are g"ing i<> realize that It is possible to do just the same thing with properties they neglect They are going to achieve beauty where it was never dreamed of before. Look at Montreal. Rising out of the midst of the rocky islaiul is a peak of volcanic origin some /HO feet above sea level But the Canadian metropolis converted it into a park Mount Royal—with winding roads through a primeval forest, and at last you come out on top and have a glorious view of the vast city, the St. Lawrence and the mountains, miles away It is a piece of wild nature set right in the heart of a smoky tity. Look at our own Seattle. What once were near-moun tains are now leveled off residence and business districts. It took work to bring about the transformation, but the workers were there, and the resourcefulness, and the pluck. Or look at Toronto. A deep ravine run* through part of the town. Did they make a dump out of it ? Or fill it up with ashes? Not much! They filled in part, so that they could construct a boulevard down there, running through the overhanging bushes and trees. It it now a unique drive way. Or look at New Orleans, which we usually consider be hind American cities in progress, rather than in the van. Its residence streets in the new city are wide. The car tracks, of course, run in the center, but the city has made a grass parkway on both sides of the track for about 15 or 18 feet, and also planted palms and magnolias, parallel with the tracks The result is a continuous stretch of green beauty. And what these cities can do, others can. It is simply a question of making use of opportunities. WANTED—LA Social and industrial legislation, transcending all else in importance, will give the measure of the 13th legislature ©f the state of Washington, which convenes today. The human note must be the dominant one if the legis lature is to make good. If it is not, no matter what else in the way of road ap propriations, constitutional reapportionment, and even direct legislation that it may pass, the Uth session must go down in history as a failure. Throughout the length and breadth of this land the human note in legislation is demanding attention. Washington, having pioneered in the workmen's com pensation law, must maintain its place in the front. Re«- gardless of party, regardless of who is to be speaker of the house or president of the senate, regardless of the many little petty organization differences, such measures as the mothers' pension law, the minimum wage for working women, the first aid provision in the compen sation act, the free employment agency, and similar Social and industrial legislation should receive human and not political consideration. There is grand opportunity for the coming legislature to engrave itself in great, human work. "I am not my brother's keeper" has been discarded by the leading, earnest, conscientious, public-spirited sociologists of the day. The state does owe a duty in the industrial and social field to its people. It owes them the duty of giving them the opportunity of living decently.
