Dauhia QeckInn Streets.

Chief Engineer Goodrich OF the bu-
feau OF membranes Of the depart
mont of highways. New York, has pro-
posed a plan for the double decking
Of ~Forty-second street, New York, be-
tween Fifth and Lexington avenue.
The street Is one Of the most con-
gested In the city. there being proba-
bly, no place In the world where so
many systems Of transportation CEN
ter as here. The double decking OF
the street will give IN opportunity for
separating the traffic. to say nothing
Of at once doubling the capacity OF
the street. Here is a problem which
Will have to be met and successfully
solved, as the modern Office building,
20 to 80 stories in height, gradually
replaces the older buildings. Some Of
the downtown streets Of New York
are already congested almost to
standstill, 30 that traffic at times 10
nearly impossible.

The EnqHsh Sparrow.

The fact that insect-eating birds are
less plentiful In cities Is true, but
believe that the conditions are rap
idly improving, says a writer on civic
beauty. Intelligent nature study has
done much to lessen the ardor OF the
small boy who formerly used his sling
ihot and airgun to such harmful adj
vantage.
| 1t is probable, too, that the English
sparrow has done nearly as much as
the small boy to make the life Of.
pong birds miserable in the cities. !
doubt, however, II the sparrow Ia as
black as be is painted, and l sadly
tear that some published opinions OF
him have been biased by the writer's
loss of early morning sleep. I know
Tor a fact that the English sparrow
Is far more OF an intoxicating bird
than he has the credit Of being. I
have observed them extensively and
bird for bird I know that he Is a
more valuable species from an ento-
nologicai standpoint than is our we'll
beloved robin. Were 1t not for the
10y the red breast brings when he
comes to US with each returning
spring, I think that we could do with
out him very nicely. He destroys few
Injurious insects, eats much fruit and
literally, gorses himself on our soil
improving fishing worms.
One more influence against the pres
sncs Of birds In cities should not go
unmentioned. The peaceful Tin day
time) house cat is n Of the worst
enemies OF birds We have. and should
be banished.

THelpoY Y
MEANS END OF SMALL TOWN
William Allen White Sounds Warning
Against tho Big City Retail Mall
Order Houses.

Writing to the convention Of the
Southwestern Lumberman's associa-
ton, held recently at Kansas City,
William Allen White says:
Il am exceedingly sorry that l can
not attend your convention. 1t seems
to me that the lumbermen OF this
section are undertaking a work that
should commend them to all good citi-
xens.
The preservation OF the home
trade to the home town carries with
1t the preservation of many Of our
American institutions.
1T seems to me that a lot Of good
things In American life will pass II
the country. town passes. And 1t will
pass just 80 surely as Capitalization
of retail mail order business in cities
continues.
1.-The American country town, the
town Of from one hundred to one hun
dred thousand people, preserves bet
ter than the crowded city and better
than the lonely ranch and isolated
farm life, the things that make Amer
lea great.
Here in these country towns the
spirit OF neighborliness is the prevail
ing spirit. Men come to know one
another and when any two human be-
ings come to know n another, IN
the one who Is intelligent and wise
-1x-zo al-,ox rtono Tor tho 0fhor
To know ones fellows always Is to
sympathize with them. Neighborli-
ness spells fraternity.
THE American country town with
It's broad circle OF friendships, with
Its close, homely, simple relations be-
tween men, with It's spirit Of cooper
alton and with It's economic status
that permits the creation OF no In
decently rich and no abjectly poor.
the American country town, 1t seems
to me, is the most hopeful OF our
American institutions.
ITO destroy that town, furnishing
the market for the farmer and giving
steady employment to labor. means a
reorganization OF u commercial, 80
cial and industrial life that will be
revolutionary-and more q matter OF
doubtful value.
"The mail order house therefore be-
comes a menace to this country, the
mail order house unrestrained Will
kill our smaller towns. creating great
cities with their terrible contrasts OF
life. With their cruel social relations.
With their inevitable caste feeling that
come from the presence OF strangers
who are rich and poor living side by
side"

MONTENEGRIN WIFE
BETTER THAN INSURANCE

Montenegro is the only country in
Europe where a wife may be regard
ed as a perambulating life insurance
policy. This novel use for wives was
expeunded TO the Daily Mirror by a
traveller who has recently visited the
scene where war has broken out.
1.-The Montenegrin is intensely chiv-
alrous," he said. ''The same remark
applies to their Albanian kinsmen,
and a woman's honor is safer in the
hands Of these reckless fighters than
in almost any European capital. This
respect for women is carried to such
a pitch that. although the very word
Turk affects the natives as does a red
rag an infuriated bull, yet Turkish
traveller finding himself in the wilds
Of Montenegrin mountains would be
absolutely safe if he were accompan-
led by his wife.
a Nontenegrin would sooner let
mis- enemy slip out Of his hands than
run the risk Of accidentally hurting
a woman.
This trait is so well known that
travellers in that turbulant country
who have some definite idea of re-
turning home alive, make certain Of
it by being accompanied by their
wives. While the lives of women in
Montenegro are undisturbed by fear
0f sudden death, il cannot be said the
women have a very good time. They
are little better than beasts Of bur-
den without the relaxation Of gossip

Montenegrins are very reserved.
