friends to advise him.
Bow. L..ou. to Protect p.rk,.

According to n plan of Howard
Brndstreet. supervisor of recreation for
Manhattan and Richmond boroughs,
New York. thousands of boys who at
tended the city Fairgrounds will be
organized into body to be known as
the Parks Protective league. Tomp-
kins square hns started with a mem
bership of 1000. and 1t is expected
that all the other grounds In the city
will be well represented.
The purpose of the league is. first
of all. to protect and preserve the
Fairgrounds. 1t is also hoped to en-
courage by this method Of individual
responsibility the self government
spirit that Is playing such promi-
nent part in the schools of the city at
present.
Last year the group system prevail
ed In the Fairgrounds. but there was
no concerted effort in the direction of
preservation. This league plan. ac-
cording to Mr.. Brndstreet. will receive
Its first trial in New York. Park Com
missioner Slower stnnds back Of the
organization and believes that In the
future the Fairgrounds will be kept In
first class condition because of the eff
forts of the members of the league.
All boys between the ages of twelve
and seventeen will be admitted to
membership.

COMBINATION LIGHT AND TROLLEY POLE
provement in these conditions. and the
first move was to get rid Of about one
third of the poles over about one-thlrd
Of the length of the street. Then the
merchants were required to remove
their stands and display their goods
only within the store windows. and
following this swinging signs were
ordered removed. With the sidewalks
thus uncovered so as to be plainly Wis
ible the desirability of improving them
was apparent, and concrete sidewalks
were constructed for 500 feet. or
over one-half the length Of the street.
One improvement followed another.
standard getaways were adopted. NIL
electric wires were placed under the
sidewalks. and finally the old trolley
poles were replaced with combination
light and trolley poles.
This last improvement was effected
By combination between the lighting
company. which placed the conduits;
the property owners. who paid for the
sidewalks. and the city. which paid
for the poles. fixtures and placing.
The poles cost SOS each and 1876 addi-
tional for setting them. They are
placed ninety feet apart on each side
of the street. Each pole has cluster
of four lights suspended thirteen and
one-half feet above the sidewalk. each
light being 100 watt tungsten of
about eighty candle power. Thirty of
these poles have been placed already.
and the effect is so generally appre-
cinted that 1t Is proposed to install 100
more In the near future.

INTERESTING CHILDREN.
Spokane Idea For Banding Them Into
City Beautiful Organization.

Spokane idsa For Banding Them Into
City Beautiful Organization.
In Spokane. WASH. where the city
beautiful spirit has been burning
brightly for some years. children's
meeting was held short time ago In
the mayors Office. The idea Of band
ing the children into junior city
beautiful organization was that Of
Marie Hornburg. visiting nurse Of the
associated charities. In giving MP
prevail to the plan the mayor offered
the use of his Office and then made an
address to the assembled children. To
the small boys he held out the gilt
tering possibility that some Of them
might some day becomc councilmcn!
Seeds were given to the children and
1t was announced that q committee
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
tiful city. and In SO doing you will have
lots Of 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 a
picnic there. and the way you will go
will be In parade, with music. and
with automobiles decorated with gar
lands Of roses and of other flowers"
Needless to say the new organization
started out with brilliant promise.

A Hot Bird.

There vas a queer prank played by
several members of Walnut street
club on fellow member who few
days ago made the rather rash an.
nouncement that he never so forgot
himself us to become intoxicated.
The friends Of 1.-The man with the
iron WILL" as he was at once named,
determined to prove that he had made
false boast. So he was invited to
attend n banquet Mt a fashionable no
tel. Sparkling wine flowed freely
and he very soon forgot" Then his
friends paid for room in the fourth
floor The imam with the iron will''
was put to bed.
His friends smeared his body with
vnscline and then, that he might not
take cold, rolled him in a mass of
feathers obtained by Sitting open a
pair Of pillows. They turned on the
steam heat full force and left. In
about three hours "the man with the
iron will" stirred uneasily. In a mo-
ment his eyes opened.
In bewildered fashion he glanced
at his hands and saw that he was
covered with feathers. He gasped.
Then thought struck him. and he
muttered. ''This must be hades and ]
am bird."-Philadelphia Times.

One of the pet hobbies Of Senator
Christopher AIagee was his newspaper.
the Pittsburg Times. He kept the pa
per well to the front. and 1t was a
credit to modern journalism. One
morning the Times had been scoope1
on railway wreck.
SENATOR" asked an intimate ac-
quaintancs, chow do You console your
self on ths loss Of that wreck story
this morning7"
by congratulating ourselves" he an
swered quickly. that we are among
the number who missed that Iii fated
train"
On another occasion as the senator
was approaching the Times building
on Fourth avsnue he noticed n crowd
gathered N,sut wagon which was
filled with huge rolls Of newspaper. A
wheel was caught In deep rut In the
pavement and vsAld not he budged.
SENATOR" laughed friend. "they
managed at last to yet your paper into

CONCRETE PAvEMENTs.
Hs~ Thsy Ars Becoming Popular In
email Towns.

tssw Thsy Arr Becoming Popular In
email Towns.
The substitution Of concrete for
wood. stone and brick as paving
material has extended to all sections
Of the United States. For example.
tho following Improvements are re-
ported in a single day:
Calvert, Tex, which boasts of be-
ing the cleanest. prettiest town in CEN
tral Texas. calls special attention to
her cement sidewalks. Georgetown.
Tex, recently laid four miles Of con-
crete pavements. Peoria. ILL.,. Ii do
ing extensive work in the same line.
Decatur. ILL.,. has been putting down
concrete pavcments md curbing. FL
gin, ILL.,. has adopted ordinances COM
polling the use Of cement In sidewalk
construction. Des Moines, Ia. is paw
Ing public square. Little Rock, Ark.
Is using concrete blocks. Orange,
N. j., recently decided that only con-
crete shall be used for pavements.
Springfield. Mo-. has adopted the Hos
sam concrete street pavement. These
are just few towns, some of them
not important to the outside world.
but the improvements reported are
characteristic Of what is taking place
everywhere. and hundreds Of thou
sands Of barrels of cement are used
annually for this purpose where prac-
tically none was used n few years ago.
After noting the durability Of concrete
pavemcnts comes the conviction that
the same material would make n good
wall. time proof floors and stills. In
'destructible posts and steps. etc, and
in few years the supply of cement
will need to be largely increased by
the demand for 1t In small towns and
rural communities.
The little town of Newbcrry, Ind.
with population estimated mt COO.
claims to have all the records In the
state broken for extent Of cement
sidewalks in town of Its size. 1t
has been incorporated only few
months and now has two miles Of
cement walks completed and six more
miles ordered for completion before
winter. II cement walks are n good
thing for part of the citizens, they are
good for all. according TO the reason
ing Of the town board. consequently
not street In the little town will
escape sidewalk on both sides.

SAVE THE STREET TREES.
Injurious Forms Of MutiIation Thst
Should Be Prohibited.

0u0ut0 % FFoUbotkoos
Trees. especially in large cities md
along roadways. are subject to many
forms of mutilation. Horses are al-
lowed to eat the bark and new wood;
telephone and telegraph companies cut
away Unfortunately. and when side
walk or paving is to be laid the roots
arc hacked and cut away without any
regard for the tres.
In some Of our large progressive
cities clubs have been formed with tho
aim Of putting before the careless pub
lie ideas which will tend to put an end
to all needless cruelty. Small cities
and villages should heed this move
ment, as 1t Ii much easier to accom-
plish results in small places than in
the larger and results are more notice
able.
An Injurious method, which is not
so noticeable and not so well known
to the inexperienced, is that of improp-
er pruning. A tree IL not only injured
by cutting on large branches. but
when 1t Is done SO that large, ragged
stumps are left the injury Is incalcula-
BILE. Although 1t Is true that pruning
must be practiced to produce SYM
metrical shape, still the best rule is to
prune as little as possible. This exam
pie should be followed by rural COM
munities to protect these trees. which
play such an important part in orna-
menting and shading the principal
streets.
The Meeker herald., 1912-04-06

Interesting Is the well authenticated
news that army officers in Manila have
caught the civic improvement spirit
and are engaged In making beautiful
the various posts. Many shade trees
have been planted, and noncommis-
stoned officer has been sent. 1t is said.
to the city nurseries to make study
Of horticulture. From the nurseries
quantities Of plants are being sent to
the posts. In our own land 1t Is usual
to find the army posts almost as beau
dful. quite as well cared for and al
most as free rs are the public parks.

Casualties Expected.

During one of Speaker Cannon's bit
ter political fights In his district In I'LL
nois the opposition resorted to desper-
ate tactics. Among other things friends
Of Uncle Joe were summarily dismiss
ed from positions they held In the pub
lie service. Some of his friends be-
came alarmed at this. and one of them
called on the speaker at his residence
and said. somewhat excitedly:
Joe. Smith and Jones have Just lost
their positions in the postoftice. What
are we going to do about it,"
Uncle Joe took another puff Mt his
cigar and then answered. with benev-
olent smile: Nothing. II You go intc

some dead and wounded"
