BEAUTIFY YOUR FACTORIES.
Valuable as an Advertising Feature
and Beneficial to Employees.


Valuable as an Advertising Feature
and Beneficial to Employees.
Scores of newspaper articles are writ
ten about Improvement of public
streets; magazines galore are published
in regard to identifying homes and
grounds; prizes are offered to certain
classes of people as an incentive to-
ward gardening back yards; public
Fairgrounds are established and school
yards tastefully kept. We pass judg-
ment on all these things and call them
good. says the Los Angeles Times. In
this land of sunshine. where vegetation
grows with almost no cultivation and
where to beautify at least the exterior
and grounds of our manufactures
would require so little effort, this
should be done not only for the moral
and aesthetic influence on the employ
ees, but really as an advertising fea-
ture, always showing tourists that
even working shops can be made beau
tiful by nature in our California.
Not one but many travellers have re-
marked about the vine covered water
tank practical thing truly at a GER
tain station near Los Angeles on the
Salt Lake railroad. The eye and mind
are rested at seeing a bit of greenery
there. The electric power houses sta
toned at intervals all the way from
Pomona valley to several thousand feet
above in San Antonio canyon show
what can be done in simple landscape
gardening in waste places. Every wea-
ry climber coming around a bend in
the trail up there among the mountains
can assure you that the vision Of
blooming flowers, we'll kept lawn and
maybe a fountain is welcome sight.
The writer has in mind two facto-
ries, one so pretty and refreshing that
the paSserby thinks it must be a pleas
ure to sit near the low open win
dows in summer and glance out occa-
sionally from the work of cutting
leather and hammering tacks, for it is
a shoe factory in Holland, Mich. to
which l refer, to plot of fresh green
grass. That glance does not detract
from the work, but makes the fingers
more nimble and the mind more clear.
Must we of the golden west go back
east to find the beautiful in nature
combined with utility in supplying the
needs of our bodies? Can we have no
such ornamental practical factories of
our own? Another. perhaps more pre-
tentious. is the home of the famous
lockwood pottery in Cincinnati. Do
you doubt that the influence of these
beautiful surroundings OH the artists
who decorate this ware works out
through their active fingers? Our
ground is as fertile, our workingmen
as appreciative. our own minds as aes-
thetic as any In the east. Let us look
to our factories. at least to the extent
Of improving them by the addition of a
few clinging vines to hide and soften
the glare Of walls and the harsh. con-
ventional outlines Of the buildings.

Comfort Stations For Towns.

Anything that tends to advance civil
lization and promote the welfare OF
mankind is beneficial to a town. Mil
waukee intends to do something in this
line, as its board of public works pro-
poses to establish municipal comfort
stations throughout the city.
81 am heartily in favor of these COM
fort stations" said Mayor Becker.
I'm my travels through Europe saw
4 number of the stations in the large
rites. They are located in the busy
parts OF the business districts as well
as along the boulevards. For a small
fee person can 60 into one Of these
stations, get towel and hot water and
refresh himself without having to go
to hotel to do it. People can also get
their clothes brushed and cleaned be-
fore filling business engagements. 1t is
good step toward municipal improve
ment-"

PLANTING Street Trees.

In laying out for street planting let
the first stakes be set at the street
crossings. says Park and Cemetery.
When the AUDITING streets also are to
be planted, place two stakes at each
corner about thirty feet from the point
Of intersection of the curb line on each
street Then space off the intervening
distance, setting the stakes equally dis
tant apart, but not less than sixty-five
feet as the shortest distance. Street
trees generally are planted too closely
together. Sometimes this is done with
the intention of cutting out alternate
ones, as the growth of the trees re-
quires. This, however, is seldom done,
and the trees grow up too thickly,
thereby Ove~crowding and injuring one
another, destroying all the individual
beauty of the trees and the symmet-
rical arrangement which an avenue of
trees should have.

should be supreme: but they should have
the best and most responsible military
advice. 1t would be impossible to over
estimate the good that has come from the
creation of such bodies as the general

Great good has come from the develop

by the great battle fleet which has just
returned from its extraordinary voyage
