LONDON'S GREEN GIRDLE

At last action has been taken to preserve - a ring of green, open country around the built-up area of London. The need has long been recognised. Thirty-five years ngo it was pointed out that the growth of London was

threatening the well being of Its inhabitants, and that

steps ought to be taken to acquiro and preserve for the publie benent broad bolt of land on the circumference. If the suggestion had been adopted then the green girdle would havo been little more than five or six miice from the centre. Now, if measures are taken at once, tho average distance from the heart of the metropolis will be at least eleven miles. If postponed for an other decade, so rapid is the. present rate of expansion, it would In most cases be necessary to travel twenty miles before the playing ficide and the rural walks would begin. But In recent years the Greater London Regional Town Planning Committee has laid its plans well; and the lender of the Socialist majority in the London County Counell has determined to act upon them. The Council has decided to offor a contribution of $2,000,000 to money which may be spent by luent authorities in the areas around London, with the ob- ject of purchasing or sterillaing broad tracts of land which may be kept as open spaces in perpetuity. The decision is taken, late, but better late than never; and it is hoped that the example will en- to courage other growing cities act before the problem assumes more formidable proportions.

The Very Idea!

A FORMULA FOR SUCCESS

By Horatio (Self-Made) Bógg

So much has been read in these columns of the Bogg millions, that people are beginning to question how we made them. ·

Some have even gone so far as to doubt whether they ever existed.

We can afford to Ignore these last, leaving them to the torture. of their doubts, and will content oursole for the present with the hope that they will not be too dazzled when they finally see these millions.

Meantime, we can go ahead and expound methods of making millions, and we can do no better than take the precise methods which have produced the Bogg. millions, as illustrations.
