quite distinct from sporting, trade,

is therefore not a fact that working

WIDTH OF COUNTRY ROADS
Los Angeles Times Shows How lmper-
alive Some System of Uniformity
Has Become.

Some uniform width Of country
roads should be established and strict
ly adhered to on each road running
from the city to sea, or to the outer
boundaries of the county. 1t appears
that some roads on our present good
roads system vary from 40 to 100 feet.
The first figure is as much too small
as the latter is too large. 1t is indeed
unfortunate that 70 or. 80 feet is not
the official width and the overhanging
portion sold and the proceeds used to
buy land to bring the minimum up to
the standard. Now that we have a
County Board of Forestry they should
be planting our chief highways, but
where shall trees be placed on a road
way varying in width from 40 to 100
feet? If long, graceful urves marked
the transition from the width to an
other the problem would easily be
solved, but "jogs," never!-Los An

Crime in Drinking Places.

The court records of lower Bavaria
for the year 1910, the latest officially
recorded, showed an increase during
the year in the number of fatal as
saults. According to correspondence
of the German temperance press,
stabbing was the most frequent meth
cd of assault, amounting to Is cases
out of every 20. Most of the
criminal deeds were committed at
night between II and 2 o'clock, and
II out of every 20 occurred either in
the saloons, before them, or on their
way home from them. Only n in
that number took place in the
workshop, one in the home and one in
the woods.
In 10 cases a large amount of beer
had been consumed before the deed
was committed, or the criminal was a
habitual heavy drinker. Thirteen lives
were lost on Sunday, the other seven
on work days.
These facts, particularly the time
and place. show very clearly the cause
of these evils and point the way to
their correction.

Some general observations on ONE
building will not be out OF place for
the benefit of the intending builder,
before describing the plan shown in
this connection. The long-felt want
for an artistically expressed and con-
ventently arranged small house is be-
ing filled. The man with 81, 800 to
$4,000 which he wants to put into a
house can now have a cottage which
will, in design and plan, express his
individuality. And it is true that the
house should reflect the taste OF its
owner or occupant.
Home builders have come to real
lie that a house should possess in
dividuality without being freakish.
The hammer and say square box OF a
house, or the frightful creation with
v extending out barely six inches
never sells, let alone being a place
for %habitation. Architects as a rule
are putting forth their best efforts in
the line OF designing houses that will
be artistic and beautiful to look upon.
The architect realizes that first OF all
the plan must be arranged to meet
the needs of the family.
The court Of last resort in the plan
ming of a house should not be the
architect, should not be the man OF
the house. The final dictum must be
given and is given in most cases by
the wife and mother. And provided
what she wants is within the bounds
of architectural limits let her have it,
for she Is there the whole liveIong
day and ought to have the last say,
as she will have anyway. Another
thing, the design will be influenced by
the site the building is to occupy.

GOOD IN SCHOOL GARDENS
Aside From Everything Else, They
Bring Teachers and Parents in
Closer Communication.

Where school children have been
given seeds and plants to take home
nc way has been found to ascertain re-
suits except to visit the homes. Luck
lily the work provides an excuse and
warrant for this, for there is some
thing at home that belongs to the
school.
Usually teachers and pupils do not
meet under circumstances favorable
TO closer and more friendly relations
the reverse is usually the case, and
the parent calls at the school. Now
the teacher calls to inspect the gar
den, an acquaintance results, with a
talk on gardening, simple but neces-
sary directions are given for garden
work, and all concerned feel better.

IS HELPS
TAKES DELIGHT IN GARDENS
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, Ono
of Those Who Seemingly Charm
the Flowers to Grow.

There are few authors who follow
their pet hobby SO as%siduously as does
Frances Hodgson Burnett; and her
hobby is gardening. Her present home
at Plantdome, near Manhasset, L. l.,
is a marvel of experimentation in gar
dening.
She seems to have the ability to
coax the most reluctant flower out of
the ground. When a new seedman's
catalogue arrives, other household af-
fairs quite cease-such sordid mat
tiers as sleeping, writing books, eating
and talking shop-till the catalogue
has been criss-crossed with approving
marks. And table conversation is like
ly to center about the gardens, as a
yachtman's centers about storms and
rigging.
But her present garden is nothing
as compared with the rare old gardens
Mrs. Burnett once had at her beau
tiful old manor house, Maytham Hall,
in England. She made the most beau
tiful garden in all Kent-a county
noted for gardens.
Back OF the mansion stretched old
brick walls, showing traces of ma
sorry dating as far back as 1000 A. D.
Some of the walls were so old that
great cedars grew atop of them. Some
were tumbled down, gray, with exquis.
lite tracery of lichens. Among these
quite old walls stretched many gar.
dens.
The most interesting had once been
an apple orchard. The trees had rot
ted away and the plot become a tan
gled, wild back O. the beyond. Here,
decided Mrs. Burnett, she would have
a rose garden in which to write. She
planted roses, not merely in a few
formal beds, but in masses, climbing
roses and low shrubs, making one
great blaze of color.

The Distome and the Pearl.

In the opinion of many experts
pearls are the product of decay. The
free pearls found in the common
~pearl-bearing mollusk are little tonbs
surrounding the bodies of the marine
worms known as distomes.
In the month of August certain
mollusks are found that have num-
erous small reddish-yellcw points in
the spot where pearls usually form.
Then begins the Imprisonment of the
creature. In the first stages the sur
face of the distome is sprinkled with
tiny grains of carbonate OF lime.
These gfanulations grow and take the
form of crystals which end by form
ing a calcareous deposit around the
creatures body.

Value OF Electrifyinu Tobacco

An interesting experiment has been
made by a German scientist in connec-
ton with the discovery of the value of
eleclrifying tobacco as a means of
insuring its flavor and keeping quail
ties. The flavor OF tobacco is said to
be largely due to the peculiar fungus
Or bacterial flora" with which each
variety is associated, and electricity
kills the fungus, but preserves the
flavor. This German scientist has
taken the peculiar mold, or fungus, Of
the best Havana tobacco and trans.
ferred it to the more co~arsely favored
Bavarian tobacco, and it is claimed
that good judges could not distinguish
the Havana from the Bavarian.
Whether the effect is quite so thor.
ough may be doubted, but much is be.
ing learned of the mysterious proper
ties of molds.

tons lie only in the materials to be
used and the amount OF money to be

found in the immediate vicinity.
They will harmonic with the land

much out OF place in the woods as a
log bungalow would be on a city

Wild Oats.

1t is unfortunate that al opinion
prevails in the public mind that every
man must SOW his wild oats. 1t is
equally unfortunate that many men
who fail to SOW the seeds of folly in
their youth insist on going bad at an
age that should be filled with honor.
The whole proposition is absurd. A
mar may SOW wild oats in his youth
and become a comparatively good man
when he finally settles down to the
business Of living; but the bird with
the broken wing can never make the

Civic Center Idea Is Old.

The civic center idea is not new. It
is as Old as systematized building. The
forum of a Roman city was flanked
with its courts of Justice and buildings
of administration. The agora of Ath-
ms, as nearly as m may learn, had
its temple and schools and courts of
law. But in American cities only the
Oldest and the newest have their pub
lie buildings sd grouped that each may
be een by itself and yet so, that all
fit into q consecutive architectural
scheme.

How We Breathe.

Men and women do not breathe alike
In a woman the breathing is from the
thorax or chest. while in a man it is
mainly from the diaphragm, which is
lower down. This peculiar difference
is so marked that it is possible to rec
sgnize by it a woman disguised as a
man. although the disguise may be
faultless in other respects. Most physi-
due to sex, but owing to artificial con
ditions, such as the wearing of cor
sets.
