BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.

Flower stealing is one of the most
contemplate forms of thievery.
And this is the time O. year when 1t
begins.
Householders set out flowers and
shrubs.
Next morning they go out and find
holes in the ground.
Maybe they casually glance over a
fence on the next block in an aimless
stroll for the soft spring air and be-
hold their erstwhile plants growing
Justify on the lawn.
Honesty is, after all, negative.
Sometimes merely relative.
Frequently the point of view.
Some persons affect to believe that
the earth and the fullness thereof be-
longs to humanity.
So. they help themselves to anything
or everything in sight.
A plant, they argue, was made by
God for the enjoyment of man.
Therefore it should not be segregat-
ed
One man has as much right to it as
another
So he reaches over the fence and
pulls it off the stalk or sneaks through
the alley gate in the dark of the moon
with a trowel and elopes with it roots
and all
Anarchists want to do away with
law.
Socialists want common ownership.
Tyrants want absolutism.
But the same individual recognizes
that none of these are compatible with
human nature.
The Bible says that the heart of man
is desperately wicked.
And you only have to take a few
deep sea observations round your own
town to know that this is true
For it's only the fear of the iron
hand of the law" that protects any
man in the possession of his own pro-
perty.
No sadder spectacle in illustration
can be seen than the old Reeves es-
tate.
The Reeves estate is not public do
main.
1t is private property.
But the destruction accomplished by
the public is appalling to those who
knew it before it was made over into
a city addition.
The mutilation of trees and shrub
berry is outrageous.
Persons who have not bought lots
and therefore have no right to remove
or transfer any plant, tree or bit of
shrubbery have flocked thither by the
dozens and helped themselves to any
thing they might fancy.
The fine magnolias, in instance, have
been almost totally destroyed
The trees on this estate were flaunt-
ed as one of its chiefest attractions
and assets.
For the natural beauties We're pro-
perty owners besought to make pur-
chase of lots in this addition.
And it was understood that one of
the conditions of sale and inclusion
within the confines of the city was the
preservation of these natural beauties
that is beauties of nature For, in the
beginning, they were artificially pro-
duced through human arrangement.
But, between the irresponsible pub

From a Remarkable Review
By William e. Sage

6snIGHT at the start it
N should be said-for it
is the greatest praise
that can be bestowed-that the
present eleventh edition of the
Encyclopaedia Britannica
completely wipes out the one
serious valid criticism leveled
against the contents of the
previous editions-their lack
of timeliness. 1t is almost as
much up to date as the modern
newspaper.

It Is not alone enough that
an encyclopaedia should be
authoritative. 1t should be
accessible. It should be handy,
convenient, comfortable. The
old editions of the Britannica
were none of these. They were
SO heavy that they were bur-
densome.

The modernization of the
eleventh edition has done away
with this most serious objec-
ton. The new method of book
making has worked a miracle.
It has produced a volume of a
thousand pages, say, which is
as easy to handle as a novel !;
lighter, in fact, than the light
est fiction. You can take. it in
your hand as you would Har-
per's Magazine. It is printed
on India paper so light and
flexible that a page can be
twisted through a ring and
then pressed out to smooth
ness without any damage.
This lightness means no loss
of the clearness of the text.
The printing is black and clear
and, in spite of the filmy ma
ture of the paper, the reading
on the other side does not
show through any more than if
the impression had been made
on the old thick, cardboardy
sheets. It is a marvellous ex-
hibit of typography; all things
considered, probably the most
marvellous that modern book
making has yet shown us.

BALTIMORE. April lit is expected
that work on the uncompleted parts of
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS boulevard will
be pushed during the coming summer and
the road between the two cities will be
| completed before next winter.
| Delay in completing the work. said
Chairman Weller Of the roads commits
sion. has been largely due to lack. Of
funds. The recent session of the le9isla-
ture appropriated 100000 for the COM
pletion Of the road. and this money viii
be available as soon as the bonds can be
sold.
| For the section of the road between
Beitsvile and Laurel. little more than
six miles, the contract was awarded last
December and the contractors filed their
bond. Since then the weather has been
such as to prevent road building.
Peculiar Situation.
Including the Beltsville-Laurel section.
there are little more than ten miles OF
the road uncompleted. The Baltimore end
between Columbia avenue and Elkridge
has been held up because Of q peculiar
situation that arose out Of the passage
OF law by the legislature Of 1910. which
provided that the boulevard should be
built through Elkridge and on a grade
that should not be less than the grade at
any other part Of the road. Whether
an error was made in drawing the meas
ure is not known. but as the greatest
grade on the road is Z per cent and the
building OF a road on such a grade
through the village would have been Inn
practicable, and the road would Nave
been almost impossible IL 1t had been
built, nothing was done.
At the recent session OF the legislature
another bill was passed requiring the
commission to build through the village,
u had been hoped to avoid going through
the village on account Of the grades. and
the commission had planned to skirt
around IT but as the law requires the
road to be built through Elkridge this
will be done.
uncomplsted Sections.
The uncompleted sections OF the road
not under contract. but for the building
OF which contracts will be let as soon
as possible. are as follows: That between
Morrell Park. on the outskirts of Balti-
more. and the Patapsco river at Elk,
ridge. This section embraces the present
dangerous road crossing OF the Philadel-|
Ephia. Baltimore and washington railroad
at Halethorpe and the old overhead cross

Moreover, all this has been
done without any sacrifice of
the qualities which have made
the Britannica dominant from
the first-its accuracy, its au-
thority, its wide range, its
completeness. These quail
ties have been retained, but i'm
proved upon.
The old articles, let me say,
frankly, were a bit too peda-
gogic.

The books are as interesting
as they are educative. For
myself, | can conceive no more
delightful experience than to
be cast away on a desert island
"a warm, well-fooded and
well-watered one, of course,
with the definite understand
ing of a release in year-and
to pass that happy time in
reading this eleventh edition.
It would be better than a
course at Oxford or Harvard.
