FOSTERS WEATHER BULLETIN

Washington, April S.-(Copyrighted,
1911, by w. T. Foster.)-Last bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbances to cross
the continent April to and 8 to IL,
warm waves April 2 to 6 and s to IL,
cool waves April to and IL to 10.
One principal feature of the period
covered by these disturbances will be
a great rise in temperatures, but in
cludes very cool following the first
disturbance. Another feature of inter-
est will be the period of severe storms
April 10 to IS. Rainfall will be gener-
ally deficient and only a few locations
will get moisture.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about April IA, cross Pacific
slope by close of 18th, great central
valleys 10th to 18th, Eastern sections
10Th. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about April IA, great central val
leys 18th, Eastern sections 18th. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
April II, great central valleys 10Th,
Eastern sections 21st.
Temperatures and dry weather will
reach the top during the passage OF
this disturbance and following 1t the
fiuctuating temperatures will gradual
ly go toward lower degrees for the
next ten days. Force of the storms
will he radical, becoming most severe
soon after the top of the warm wave
shall have passed. The waether will
then become moderate and mild as II
grows cooler.
am expecting dry weather TO IN
crease except on the Gulf of Mexico
and South Atlantic coasts and Cuba,
where excessive rains will prevail
Some alarm about drouth Is probable
particularly east of meridian 90 in the
Northern states and northern parts o!
the Southern states. ] am also eX-
pecting dry weather in Canada last
half of April. This dry weather will
probably not do much harm, but II il
should continue through May drou'h
scare would result.

there Is more or less Of the Mandy
pamby in this constant appeal to the
women and children to do what 10
really mans work. The adult citizen
should be held TO stricter account
in the matter of clean streets and
premises than he is. There is ample
room for intoxicating lessons of civic
pride in the young, but the burden
ought to be placed on the citizen and
not on the women, boys and girls.
The man who strews rubbish over the
streets, permits. his own property to
become Uttered up and fails in the
proper discharge of the obligations OF
every good citizen ought to be COM
PEELED to perform his duty in this re-
spect. There is nothing especially edi-
fying in the city officials asking the
women and children to become either
public or neighborhood white wings
Time which ought to be devoted to
holding derelct citizens to stricter
accountability is too often wasted in
these sentimental appeals" Make
the citizen rather than the housewife
and the child set the example OF civic
pride and cleanliness.-Kansas City
Journal.

TEACHING CIVIC PRIDE.

Commissioner of Streets Weaver
gave expression to some wholesome
sentiments when he urged the teach
ers of the city to instruct their pupils
in the fundamental principles of civic
pride as applied to the cleanliness of
the city. There is no question but
that valuable lessons might be taught
along this line, if it is granted that
the public schools are the place to
teach children to pick up scraps of
paper and tin cans. On general prin-
ciples the pupils of the public schools
ought to be given at least instructive
hints, if not systematic instruction, in
many matters affecting the welfare of
the community in which they live.
Good citizenship should have a place
in the curriculum of all instruction,
and the good citizen does not litter up
the streets of the city, the neighbor-
hood in which he lives or his own
premises.
But somehow or other the convic-
tion can not be entirely ignored that

mony on Natures face. Mr. Edge
should select suitable name for his,
pretty suburban home.
There stands on the front lawn of
the K. II. Astin home doll house,
Just as pretty and artistic and COM
plete as though good fairy had
brought it there from Wonderland in
answer to a child's wish. Many ladies
visited this doll house week ago,
and this is what was seen: A suite of
rooms filled with dainty furniture and
dolls dressed a la mode, some seated
at the piano while others reclined
upon couches or sat in rockers, and
everything was in apple pie order"
1.-The walls of this doll house are pa
|pered with scenes from Mother
Goose's" melodies. Little Boy Blue"
lack and JILL" Little Miss Muffit"
and many other immortals smiled at
you from every nook and corner, and
really seemed to say: Come right in;
we are so glad to have you call and
see how fine we are fixed up here in
the doll house. And don't you think
the two little lassies who run this
house are fine little housekeepers?
And we all agreed that they were. On
the gallery surrounding this doll house
flower boxes are placed in which the
children have planted many seed to
bud and bloom. This is practical
lesson in civic beauty, and 1t is wise
mother who thus teaches her little
girls the all-important lesson of home
making Home loving hearts are
best"
| In heavens name, who is the guilty
party who is killing all the trees that
adorn the highways? Who has the
authority to destroy these magnificent
trees that~have stood on the roadside
for centuries? They do not shade five
feet of anyone's farm along the road,
then why are they killed? 1t is al
most crime to ruthlessly destroy
such trees, and it is the grossest ig-
norance or objectionable indifference
that would permit such needless de-
struction. We refuse to believe that
Judge Board has any knowledge OF
this tree killing on the public high
ways But We hope, now that his at
4, tention is called to this condition, he
will speedily stop it.
The mothers who have children at
tending the Westside school will be
rejoiced to know that a paved walk
will soon replace the one that has
been worn down into a rut; so many
sturdy little feet have tramped along
this walk getting their feet wet, sit
ting all day in school in damp shoes,

colds that nearly took some of them

of our children. "One ounce of pre-
vention is worth a pound of cure"

IMPROVEMENT NOTES.

Garden making Is creative work,
Just as much as painting or writing a
poem. II is personal expression OF
self. an individual conception OF
beauty. A garden is ageless, and a
gardner becomes, ageless, too--as age
less as the wind, the rain, the sun,
summer and winter, for he becomes
one with them. ] do not believe any
living being can remain bad II they
associate daily with flowers, for flow
ers have such an Irish way of per-
suading with blarney of beauty to the
simple, real and only abiding things
in life. II the gardener is an artist he
can satisfy all the cravings OF his soul
fop color and pictures. If musician
he can find expression for all the har-
mony of his being.
Mr.. Sim Edge evidently has an ar
tistic temperament, as his suburban
home and its environment would indi-
cate. He lives just far enough from
town to avoid its noise and dust; just
far enough to listen undisturbed to
the music of the birds that nest and
sing in the branches of the stately
oaks that shelter his home. Mr.. Edge
can stand on his front gallery and see
the beauty and the majesty of earth
spread wide beneath his gaze; fields
of blue bonnets and primroses nod
ding in the breeze; the crimson beau.
