THE CITY BEAUTIFUL.

(By a Member of the Association.)
When the Great Creator planted a
garden in Eden eastward" and put a
man in charge, His wisdom Immediate
ly confessed the inadequacy of the man
to carry out all His designs alone. So,
1t has been true. down the ages. that
the man has ever the need of his help
meet" to perfect every plan that would
compass the happiness and well-being
of the world.
Whenever woman tries to eliminate
every vestige of even the appearance
of a necessity for masculine co-part-
nership in the perfection of homebuild-
ing, the world regards the spectacle
with a plying smile! There is some
thing lacking-just what. is known
only to the Creator. who found Adam
and the beautiful Garden imperfect
without her!
If, then, the effort of the truly mod
ern feminine is only partly successful.
must not the modern masculine effort
show this defect also? Is not this
raison d'etre of mans failure to COM
pass the City Beautiful?
When one visits strange city, what
part of that city is the true guage of
it's claim to beauty and utility? The
parks, the shaded avenues and the
wide lawns in whose green setting the
home finds healthful breathing spaces.

answer is swift and sure: The mans

MEETING OF FLOWER GROWERS
ASSOCIATION.
There wos a full attendance of the
Flower Growers at the Exchange
meeting. Each member came in smli-
ing. with an armful of some plant or
plants to exchange for something else.
They were all deposited on great
dinner table and the members gathered
round and made their exchanges amid
much mirth and with many explana-
lions for culture. One woman came
away the proud possessor of beauti-
full German iris that she said she had
been longing for fof years, and from
which she intended to grow forty
thousand"
fine list of hardy shrubs suitable
for this climate was read by MISS
Cozart and as each one was called,
the members joined in Informal dis
cussions of it's cultivation. Many told
where different specimens might be
found growing.
Two motions were made by Mrs. NC.
Scott and unanimously adopted by the
club. They were, "a that the club
protest againt the planting of the
North Carolina poplar on our streets,
as it Is the last of shade trees to bud
in spring and the first to shed Its leaves
in fall, never affording mu CHI shade;
and, (2) that the club petition the
street and park commission to plant
more of our native trees and some
towering ones, notably live oak, water
oak, red oak. sugarberry (the right
one) ash, magnolia, poplar. the flow
ering mock orange, redbud, lockwood
and crepe myrtle. Those requests will
be sent to the proper authorities. The
club realized that these actions might
seem untimely. as this planting season
is nearly at an end. but as 1t takes
time to do all things, they hoped to
gain some influence by the next plant
ing season in the fall.

spend 1.75O years in getting up and
down---that is. in vertical travel. At
minimum at least 100000 stair trips
of single flight each are made daily;
Tor not only Is this means of vertical
travel necessary in homes. stores and
older office buildings. but also for
reaching the subway or elevated lines.

with the necessity for saving for her

travel Is heavy during rush hours, the
moving stairway, now Installed at
few elevated stations, saws minutes
and power in the most efficient way.
Much interest, too, centers In the
ramp" which Is to give access to the
street from the McAdoo tunnels. The
ramp is simply a spiral inclined plane,
and such being the case the reason
for it's adoption is not easy to see. 1t
is the Oldest means of vertical travel
known, having been used in Assyria
before stairs were invented. The chief
criticism that has been made concern.
ing 1t lies in the fact that 1t Will take
four times as long to reach the street
level by it's use as by ordinary stairs,
without decreasing the labor, as would

years New York will become the
