WHERE GERMANY BEATS US.
Citizens Protest, and Offensive Bill
boards Are Removed.


The fight on ugly and offensive bill
boards is not unsuccessful in this coun-
try. In spite Of technicalities and mis-
applied or too strictly construed legal
limitations But ones mouth waters
while reading OF the remarkable prog
ress of the same cause in Germany.
DEGREES have gone forth ordering the
removal or destruction Of advertising
signs along the railway rights of way
as well as on walls and roofs Of
houses The amenity of the landscape
is TO be conserved or restored, and
commerce is to acknowledge the rights
of the higher nature.
Curiously enough. the general order
against unsightly and ugly forms of
street and field advertising is due
chiefly to a movement among business
men and ordinary citizens. Crowded
meetings OF protest had been held and
resolutions against the billboard abuse
had been adopted in many places.

A SUMMER QUESTION.
Where Can People of Small Communi-

ties Recreate In Hot Weather.
The summer season. with its long
days OF almost unbearable heat. is
here, and the desire Of those who are
cooped up within the four walls in Of
flee and store work to get out in the
open at least one day I'm the week is
intense. In the big cities parks, where
all manner OF amusement is planned
TO entertain people and take away the
worries OF the preceding six days. are
plenty. The result is a man goes back
to his work Monday morning feeling
greatly refreshed and benefited from
his Sunday outing. CT course the rich
can leave their business in the hands
Of subOrdinates and so to the resorts
for the heated term.
But the problem remains yet to be
solved of affording this needed recrea-
ton for the people who work in stores
and offices in the smaller towns. They
cannot all 20 to the larger places for
this recreation. Few. if any, can at
ford TO 20 TO the mountains for even a
few days recreation and rest. Then
what can be done to provide this one
day outing in the week for the people
in the smaller places?
1t seems that n small park might be
provided on the outskirts of n town.
Think what q blessing 1t would be to
a little city. Why not organize a park
association and sell shares. use the
money to lease a body of timbered
land as near as possible to town and
turn 1t into a park ?-Mulhan (Okla.)
