"The Front Steps of Harrisburg " In the old world cities much attention is given to the permanent im provement of the streets and parks and the development of the artistic as well as the practical features of the several municipalities. This is especially true of Germany. In city planning as in other things Germany calls In her experts, just as has been done In Harrisburg. Town planning, according to Fred erick C. Howe, has become a science, and It is treated as such. A school lias recently been opened in Berlin devoted to the subject. The railway stations open into spacious plaaas adorned with flower beds and fllanked with public buildings which conform to a uniform style. Most large cities have one or more show places. There Is the Bruhl terrace in Dresden —"the Balcony of Europe," with its boule vard prospect far up the River Elbe. The bank of this river at Dresden is one of the best, examples of river front development In Europe. It Is now up to Harrisburg to establish once for all a distinctive public feature which will give the city fame wherever It is known, and there is no better possibility at the p.resent time than the remarkable river front wall now In course of construction. This wall is being built in the form of reinforced concrete steps running from the foot of the terrace to the low water line of the river, and extending for three miles along the water front. Why, then, should not this wall become famous as "THE FRONT STEPS OF HARRISBURG," just as the ter race at Dresden is famous in the old world as 'The Balcony of Europe?"

Selling Electricity By Co-operative Advertising The Public Service Corpor ations In the largo cities are find ing; It. Is good business to de velop the co-operative spirit. Acting as a leader It is the gen eral rule for the lighting com pany to get together with the manufacturers of supplies, the dealers, and the contractors, and plan united action. Each helps the other t to get ' business. For instance, when the contractor wires a house he at once makes business for the sell er of electricity and a customer for the seller of appliances. In many cities the electrical in terests have got together on co operative newspaper campaigns. The chief Idea of these Is to spread the desire for eiectrlcltj»— by showing how It can be made to save time or labor or money. As the uses and the oaera of electricity Increase there is more business for all concerned. Be sides evidencing a coinmendfcble spirit, these co-operative electri cal campaigns have been goqd I business getters. I Manufacturers and dealera gen- | erallv might .study them with profit. The Bureau of Advertising, American Newspaper Publishers Association, World Building, New York, will be glad to answer any questions about co-operative work with dealers In newspaper advertising campaign*.
