railroad track throughout an entire
right OF way can be applied to towns
as well as cities. Trees along railroad
tracks would be planted for twofold
purpose-to provide the timber needed
for railroad ties and for the increased
artistic effect.
Mr.. Lambs suggestions are being Of
fered to the Pennsylvania. the New
York Central, the Erie and other rail
roads in the United States. Mr.. Lamb
has suggested the cutting down Tor
use in ties Of the alternating trees,
thus keeping continuous line or
growing trees, the ones removed being
replaced by smaller growths, which, In
turn. would be full grown trees when
! the second cutting was made.
| Mr.. Lamb makes additional sugges-
Planting association with the local au-
| thorities of each city and town and
with the civic associations interested
in the Identification Of their cities or
| towns so that the tree planting would
| he developed from the railroad tracks
| around the stations and on the main
| streets or the roads leading to the sta
tions. The inevitable result, in Mr..
lambs Judgment, would be that the
principle Of tree planting would be de-
yeloped in each community as it's beau
ty. practicability and economy OF ad-
ministrat ton became appreciated under
these suggestions.

Harmful Precedsnt,

banks said a banker. Even the
great Bank Of England itself has no
telephone.
THAT sort of thing Is what sets Eng
land behind the times-that observ.
ance of tradition, that refusal Of new
things, as though simply because they
are new they must OF necessity be vul-
gar and bad.
"A London bank and its branches
were swindled out Of a large sum the

failed had Il system Of telephones con-
nected these banks
But In the past banks had no tele-
