Prince Henry of Prussia, the kaser's brother,
is a keen automobist and has taken out a
patent for an invention in the interest of
chauffeurs. Two movable bands OF rubber are
placed on each side of the glass that protects
the driver from wind and dust. The two
bands can be put in motion by turning
handle. They pass rapidly the glass;
thus freeing it from the inevitable mud after
long run. 1t is expected that in short time
German motor will be provided with "the
Henry of Prussia patent" The Taller.

full tree is certainly worth a dozen ugly
ones; they may render some service by
giving shade when they are rightly placed
but very often air and sunlight, rather
than shade are needed. Those who Gull
tivate flowers know that many plants
must be pulled up in order that the sur

clpals apply in the case of trees. Super
hous trees are no better than weeds; they
do no good and they prevent other trees
from attaining their natural development.

A mutilated tree, unless very young, can
never recover itself; it will remain for
years a monument of bad taste or ignor-
ant insolence.
Every kind of tree has its natural
shape, which is almost always its most
beautiful shape. The charm of the elm
is in its pendulous branches, which curve
down from the great limbs above like
sheltering wings; but we often see them
trimmed to the semblance of palm trees,
naked trunks with tuft On top, like
shaved poodle dogs tail. The beauty OF
the evergreen Is in its flake like branches
which sweep to the ground in graceful
curves. Some people trim them as II

rather than the Business College graduate. The
boy fresh from the Business College has acquired
one way of doing thing, whereas, we have to
show him another way generally, and he usually
THINKS that his way is the only one. We have to
break him of what he already knows and teach him
way besides" The other banker agreed with

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The city OF Fargo after giving the subject Wnal
has probably been thorough investigation, has de-
cided that the best possible plan to secure pure
water for the city is by means Of the sand inter.
The city OF Grand Forks had this subject torceh
on its attention fourteen years ago Every avail
able source of water supply was considered The
artesian we'll plan studied, and it was decided
not to DC practicable, The plan Of obtaining water
from distant lakes were taken up, studied and dis
missed as involving cost which would be prohib'
tive with results Of uncertain quality IN the END
Chemical filtration was considered but there was
no method known which appeared likely to MI the
bill And, after considering all known plans that
of the sand filter, natures method of purificatlon
was adopted. The results have been satisfactory
1t is necessary that filter should be handled care
fully and nelligently but given the requisite care
and intelligence, filter of proper size will purify
the fouiest water and makes it fit for all purposes.
Afte the lapse of fourteen years the investigations
conducted under the direction of the Fargo council
lead to the conclusion that the sand filter is still
the best and most available means for he purifca
ton of water for cities situated Grand Forks
and Fargo.

The House and the Station Tracks.


The Washington Board Of Trade,
through its board of directors. has again
emphasized the pressing public duty Of
Congress to order. not to say authorize.
the laying of street railway tracks TO the
Union Station.
This organization of representative bus
mess men hears no call for universal
transfers. outside Of Congress. and doubts
the wisdom OF that proposition. AS 10
the supervision or control of our public
utilities by the District Commissioners, or
public utilities commission, or the In
terstate Commerce Commission, it is di-
yided IN opinion, just as the committees
OF Congress are divided. But as TO the
necessity of Immediately laying tracks
to the station-the imperative urgent ne
cessity in the interest of the publie-there
is no division of sentiment anywhere, and
the board as a unit expresses the over
whelming demand of this community.
The conferees OF the House. who are
obstinately holding out for the universal
transfer and the utility control. are
prompted evidently by the belief that
they are punishing the street railway
companies in Obstructing the track-lay-
ing legislation. Yet they are doing moth
ing of the sort. The people-not the
street car c0mpanles-are suffering from
the deadlock which Mr. Sims and his
colleagues on the committee have pre-
eipitated and are perpetuatfng. The Dis
trict expects better things of these gem
uemen, who have rendered it good sery-
ice in other directions.
In fairness to the community, and TO
visitors who rightly are entitled to decent
transit facilities when they come TO the
National Capital. the House ought to re-
cede from its untenable position. To say
that everybody shall walk two long
squares to and from the station unless
universal transfers be granted and the
powers OF the District Commissioners. ex-
tended and multiplied many fold, is an
unjustnable policy
Il is craftsmanship Of narrow and
doubtful range. No, it is not now even
that. 1t has become sheer obStinacy, and
is imposing undeserved and serious hard
ships upon helpless and unoffending
people, which is deeply resented.
Break the deadlock and order the track
laying.
