Beautifying a Mountain City.

Middlesboro has ambition to be city
beautiful as well as city industrial and
commercial, Middlesboro has Park
Commission, and since its appointment
four years ago that body has given some
substantial evidence that it knows its
business. As result of the efforts of
the commission Arbor Day has been OBJ
served religiously for several years and
one thousand shade trees are growing
on the city's streets.
The public school lawn has been trans
formed from barren stretch OF soil into
what the MiddIesboro News Record de-
scribes as a beautiful piece of land

The road to Samburg committee, con-
sisting Of w. G. Reynolds, chairman.
Will White and r. B. Marshall, were in
great need Of scrapers for the road work
There were none to be had except at
considerable expense, Through the
efforts Of Mr.. Marshall the committee
conferred with Bondurant & Moseby,
well known levee contractors of Hick-
man, Ky. These gentlemen, though
in Kentucky, Immediately responded
and rendered free Of charge as many Of
their large levee scrapers as the COM
mlttee needed to forward the road build
ing. This is not only courtesy but a
donation by our Kentucky friends,
which is highly appreciated by the COM
mittee and the people Of Obion County.
Bondurant & Moseby, by the way, were
the successful builders OF the railroad

Singular.

Dear Boys: The strangest of all strang,

Lake County. In Tiptonville are sew
eral Lemons, one of them being more
than forty years old and in splendid
state Of preservation, showing no signs
whatever of decay. But still more mar
velous is the fact that the human face,
with perfect eyes, mouth, teeth and
pleasing features, has fully developed;
and still more unbelievable is the fact
that they eat, sleep, walk and talk.
In Obion County in the Reelfoot Lake
hills and in Fulton County, KY, two
marvellous Stones" have been located,
Like the Lemons" they eat, sleep,
walk, talk, and have assumed the per-
feet form and shape Of well developed
human beings. AS to the composition
Of these two Stones" while they are
highly polished, it is a question as to
whether they are Limestone, Sandstone
or Gladstone. Some scientists claim they
are composed of more Gall" than
Stone
In Weakley County a most unique
Farmer" is to be found. While he
has made most wonderful success in
his line, he has never been known to
use but one single farm implement, the
Rake" but am told that he is past

this Farmer" rake.

OF Woman's Civic League is expected
to be of material assistance in making
the municipality more attractive. The
women's leagues are doing a splendid
service wherever they have been estab-
lished and the organization should ex-
tend to every county in the State.
What has been done in Middlesboro
in the last four years can be done in
any town where there is dozen or so
willing souls to take the initiative and
to teach the value of civic cleanliness
and adornment both by precept and by
practice. The cleaning-up day" move
ment is gaining ground every year and
Arbor Day deserves to be more gener-
ally observed in the lre than it has
been in the past Kentucky has many
beautiful cities and towns, but none OF
them is SO beautiful that it cannot be
made more so. Some of our cities are
doing good deal to secure new bust
ness and new industries, but are not
doing much toward making themselves
more attractive in appearance - more
desirable as "a place to live" To such
cities the example of Middlesboro is to
be commended. --Courier-Journal

"A New Party or What ?

Those who follow the larger politics
OF the country will find an incident Of
great significance and potential impor-
lance in the action of the Senate in
surgents, who demand recognition as an
independent political group from the
Republican organization Of the upper
house.
Participants in the insurgent move
ment have for some time been looked
upon by others as rapidly approaching
an independent status. The interesting
thingsabout the latest development is
that the insurgents themselves recog-
nize it.
The resolution offered by Mr.. La
Toilette at the meeting Of the Republi-
can Steering Committee has two inter-
esting features. One is its statement
setting forth that Republcanism in the
Senate exists at present in two divisions,
each division being well recognized in
the Senate and throughout the country
as based upon clearly defined differ
ences on important legislative measures
and questions of great public interest. :"
The other feature is its census Of SEN
ators who definitely elect to be consid-
cred progressives. The list, including
certain new Senators whose exact posi-
ton was in more or less doubt, has the
twelve names Of Clapp, La Toilette,
Bourne, Borah, Brown, Dixon, Cum
minis, Bristow, Crawford, Gronna,

"The expense necessary in estab-
a thorough system of examin-
ations has been serious objection.
A careful study however shows that
it is even more expensive to neglect
this work. In view of the facts re-

it is felt that simply, efficient, and
uniform standard of methods is de-
Isirable. 1t is recommended that each
child be given a physical examination
each year and that the examination
be sufficiently thorough to detect de-

interfere with the health, growth and
development of the child. A careful
record of the preliminary and the sup

Los Angeles, Cal, June 29.-"A sur

that there are very few cities in the
United States giving complete physi-
cal examinations to school children;
or even sufficiently complete to be of
any assistance to the teachers in di-
recting the activities of the child be-
yond the examination for sight and
hearing defects" Such was the de-
claration of DR.. Everitt G. Beach of
Los Angeles, one of the speakers to-
day at the section on preventative med
icine of the American Medical associa-
tion which is holding its convention
here. In his report Beach among other
things said.
Physical examinations are con-
Quoted for the purpose of detecting
variations from the normal that inter,
fere with the mental and physical
health, growth and development of
the child. We recognize that we are
dealing with organisms subjected to
the abnormal conditions of school life,
that these organisms are constantly
changing and apparently insignificant
variations may lead us in a short time
to such gross defects that their cor
rection is difficult or impossible; and
that the normal educative process is
possible only when the physical and
mental conditions of the child do not
vary too widely from established
standards recognized as the normal.
Evidence at hand shows that large
numbers of defects are present in
every school. The detection of these
variations can be accomplished only
by careful examination.
"a careful comparison of results OBJ
tanned by the boards of health and the
city boards ofeducation shows that
the greatest benefits are obtained
where the preliminary examinations
are made in the grammar school by
the teachers. There are a number of
factors with their closely allied in
terests which demand consideration
before presenting specific recommends
tions on methods. They are the
board of health, the board of educa.

building. 1t was suggested to the gov
ernor that it might be best for the
state to take over the land and work
out the proposed $1,0O0,000 through
a sale of town lots, but to do so would
require a session of the legislature to
give legal vitality to the scheme. In
that event it would also mean from
three to six months more delay since
the legislature could not place the
emergency clause to an act proposing
to sell real estate.
