Spokane Idea For Banding Them Int
City Beautiful Organization.
In Spokane. Wash. where the city
beautiful spirit has been burning
brightly for some years. a children's
meeting was held q short time ago In
the mayors Office. The idea Of band
ing the children into a Junior city
beautiful organization was that OF
Marie Hornburg. visiting nurse Of the
associated charities. In giving ap-
proval to the plan the mayor offered
the use of bis office and then made nm
address to the assembled children. To
the small boys he held out the gilt
tering possibility that some Of them
might some day become councilmen.
Seeds were given to the children and
1t was announced that q COMMITTEES
would award prizes for the best
flowers grown from them. Miss Horn
burg said In her address, You chill
dren are going to help us have beau
tifui city, and In 30 doing you will have
lots Ut fun. will learn how to care for
flowers, and in the fall some Of you
will receive prizes and all Of you will
go to the interstate fair and have \
picnic there, and the way you will 60
will be In q parade. with music. and
with automobiles decorated with gar

Needless to say the new organization
started out with brilliant promise.

but the improvements reported are
characteristic of what IL taking place
everywhere, and hundreds Of thou
sands of barrels Of cement are used

tically none was used few years ago.
After noting the durability Of concrete
pavements comes the conviction that
the same material would make good

in few years the supply Of cement
will need to be largely increased BY
the demand for 1t in small towns and

THE ROSE ROUTE.
Attractive Improvement Of Railroad
to Eliminate Its Dust Nuisance.

Attractive Improvement Of q Railroad
to Eliminate Its Dust Nuisance.
The "rose route to New York" The
fowery phrase suggests a musical
comedy or press agents weird imag-
ination. 1t is nothing Of the sort, how
ever, for the words describe tersely
the probable ultimate result of the I'm
provement recently begun by the New
York. New Haven and Hartford rail-
road. When the work is completed 1t
will be possible for grimy enginemen
to leap from the cabs at almost any
way station and gather an armful of
roses to festoon about their levers, and
fresh bouquets may be procured for
the dining car tables anywhere along
the line. To be explicit, the railrond
between Providence and New London
Is being beautifed on an elaborate
scale. Primarily the aim Is not
aesthetic. The elimination Of the dust
nuisance is the inspiring motive. For
several years the railroad ofiicinis have
been considering plans for bettering
conditions and have vainly sought
some sort of vegetation to cover ex-
posed sandy banks. The problem has
been studied not only because of de
sire to get rid of the annoyance to
passengers, but also because the shift
ing sand has been directly responsible
for n considerable expenditure in main
tanning tracks and rolling stock.
Getting rid Of the dirt kicked up
from the surface of the track is a COM
paratively easy matter, as rock ballast
hns passed the experimental stage. but
banishing the dust sucked In from the
sandy entertainments by the trains was
a much more 1ificult problem. Appeal
was made to landscape artists for a
species Of vegetation that would cover
the soil and not be liabls to take DE
easily from sparks Of passing loco
motives. The experts recommended
Dorothy Perkins Rambler rosebushes.
and late last fall practical expert
ment was tried with 1900 bushes in
the deep cut north of Apponaug. The
bushes are planted In three rows In
the deepest parts of the cuts. It is
claimed that under favorable con-
ditlons they will send out shoots
twelve or fifteen feet long in season.
1t is planned to have them run up the
sandy embankments, and INTERVENING
form solid tangled mat which. 1t Is
believed. will effectively keep down
the dust and fine sand.-Providencc
