No Longer Stately
`13y General Crozier
• Since the days when the great Eng-
lish poets and 'painters first made it
famous, the quint beautyof the Eng-
lish countryside bar; been proverbial,
It is a beauty which has a quality of
its own; a beauty felt and toyed alike
by Wordsworth and Rupert Brooke,
But is is a beauty which is 1n dan-
ger of boing Spoiled by the erection of
areless, incongruous, and ugly dwell-
ings,
During the summer months of this
year thousands of holidaymakers kava
sought to refresh their souls and
bodies by a eight 01 the countryside
which Constable and others made fa-
mous. And although large tracts of
upspolled hilts ane fields and valleys
remain much as they were years ago
travellers in many parts of this coun-
try have been appalled by arcaltec-
tura] crimes which are being perpe-
trated apparently without a though
for the beauty which is being marred.
The bungaloid,peril Is real. The de=
sire to combat it is no desire fostered'
by cranks anxious to mind other peo-
ple's business, but it crusade to pre-
serve from • destrution something
which is essentially English and pre-
cious to English men and women.
Speaking recently at Maidstone, the
:Archbishop of Canterbury said; "Com-
ing back from Loudon this afternoon,
at every eminence where I had expect-
ed to see a piece of the beautiful gar-
den of • England, what has Struck my
eye was a petrol' pump, a tea kiosk,
or one of those bungalows for which
I'find it impossible to and a suitable
adjective."
A similar thought must have been
in the minds of thousands of his fel-
low countrymen who have the preser-
vation of the rural beauty of this
country at heart.
If the present orgy of indiscrimin-
ate
ndisc iminate building is allowed to go on un-
checked and 'without plan there is a
danger that the English countryside
will become one huge, ugly suburb,
without the amenities of either town
or country.
There is a beauty of the country,
and there is the beauty of a town
which is well and nobly planned. '
What is wanted is a campaign of
sound and sane building, and this can
only be assured' by the mobilization
of public opinion in its favor.
Not so very long ago, Mr. Baldwin
],leaded for an education of public
opinion which would "save the coun-
tryside from the atrocities which are
now too often committees."
Mr. Ramsay MacDonald is apparent-
ly of the same mind, judging by the
following utterance :"Every day that
goes past, some offensive bungalow,
or some abomination of a building
scheme . , destroys not only the im-
mediate spot where it is placed, but
the whole sweep of the countryside.

"1 NOW go about my daily
work with pleasure," says
Mre. Scott of Guelph.. In
spite of tiring domestic taeOs
and family cores, that is the
way every woman should feel.
But how many do?
Thousands of women all
over the world have regained
strength and nervous energy
by taking Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, and write to toll us so,
Mre, Scott le one of these.
"X was very much run-down,

Williams' Pink Pills and am
as well as ever again. Now I
go about my work with pleas,

public opinion is shocked by the
atrocities and roused to action."
Well, public opinion has certainly
been shocked, and continues to suffer
fresh shocks every day. But little in-
terest is being shown in the steps
taken to prevent or remedy the evil.
It is not a question of expense. Peo-
ple can build at once well and cheaply.
The only real necessity is competent
supervision. Proposed building
schemes should be supervised and ap-
proved by local county committees
composed of people with a keen ap-
preciation of the beauty of the coun-

Picturesque Landscape
Zanzibar is very small; its sister
island Peniba is smaller still; in all,
the Sultan rules over little more than
1100 square miles. But the smallness
of the islands is 1n the eyes of the
visitor disguised by the luxuriance of
its sub -tropical scenery. I enjoyed
great hospitality during my stay; and
in a full week drove the length and
breadth of the island along fine maca-
damized roads cut through a band -
nape which was sheer delight. There
was something in this tropical vege-
tation which defeated the traveler's
armory of adjectives. The colors—
greens and blues, pinks and browns
—were incredibly vivid; the shadows
were deeper and. less harsh than on
the African mainland. We drove
through dark avenues of enormous
mango trees, and on through palm
groves which looped like bunches of
knittiug needles reared up, this way
andthat, against a pale blue sky. We
skirted the coast—one bay succeeding
another; shores of dazzling white
sand washed by brilliant blue sea and
flecked by the criss-cross shadows of
overhanging palms. Nature surprised
me and excelled'herself.
And then we came to the clove
sheathes (estates). All of us have
tasted the spice, but few of us know
how it grows or how. it reaches the
stage in which our cooks buy it for
the flavoring of the apple pie. The
trees aretall and bushy; their foliage
resembles the bay leaf; the clove it-
self is the yearly blossom which
grows in clusters, and at harvest time
has to be picked from ladders 40 to
60 feet high. When the clusters have

Excellent Roads
It was curious to be driving on ex-
cellent roads through the exuberant
scenery of an Indian Ocean Island;
still more curious was it to learn that
only ten years ago Zanzibar had no
roads to speak of, that transport and
movement had been by jungle tracks
and that there had been villages 'with-
in 15 miles of Zanzibar whose inhabit-
ants had never seen the inside of the
city, To -day the automobile trade
flourishes in the island; tbere are lor-
ry services collecting from all the
larger clove estates; and there are
even motorbus services -15 miles for
half a repee. This motor transit
marks the latest stage of the develop-
ment of Zanzibar; but it has also rung
the knell of what, 30 years ago, was
regarded as the marvel of the island.
Zanzibar boasts perhaps the oddest
railway with certainly the oddest
name in the world. The BuBuDu Rail

ed excitment of new experience,
But my arrival at Zanzibar was
frankly disappointing. The tiny Per-
sian trading boat with its inevitable
Scotch captain, which had brought
me from Mombasa, anchored a mile
from the shore, and I •awakened to
look across a dazzling sheet of water
toward Zanzibar, on the not far dis-
tant horizon, but looking far from
the gem I had anticipated. I saw a
sea front ranged with dull white
houses, square and high; there was a
flatness of outline which reminded
me of seaside resorts in England,
and I hunted in vain for the tapering
minarets and domed cupolas witb,
which the first sight of Jeddah and
Suakim rewards the newcomer. Al-

bowled quickly past the modern banali-

real Arab atmosphere. Byways and

never progressed more than 30 yards
in any direction; we seemed always
to be charging blank walls. .And the
hotel, when I reached it, removed the
last tinge of my first disappointment.
It was an old Arab house, set in a
street 12 feet wide; I passed through
a door of African teak, studded with
enormous brass bosses and of a brown

Dr. 17, O. Lewis in the Realist (Lon-
don): The danger of excess of popula-
tion about which we hear so much
these days is a remote contingency
as compared with the danger of a
dysgenic population, that is a popula-
tion with an unduly large proportion
of persons of poor hysique and low
mental status. 11 we could examine
the fall of nations and the passing of
ancient civilizations in the light of
our present biological knowledge, we
should probably find that the deciding
factor was the quality and not the
quantity of the men and women. The
rapidly increasing tendency in modern
times to breed from poor stock, to-
gether with the humanitarian attitude
of civilization towards the physically
and mentally subnormal, which to a
large extent nullifies Nature's method'
of eliminating the unfit, must inevit-
ably
nevitably result in a serious deterioration
of the human material in the nations
of the Western world.
