Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New
Jersey, was made the Presidential nom
inee of the democratic national conven-

day, when on the forty-sixth ballot be
received 800 votes to "a for Champ

AT the night session six candidates

 The English alphabet has 26 let ters, the Russian 36. The typewrit- CT produced for the Russian market is the largest made: but no typewrit- CT could be made that would begin to be big enough for the Chinese lan- guage, which has no alphabet but is represented by slgn characters. of which there are about 60,000 Of the great number of words found in the English language only small propor- ton are used for the ordinary pur- poses Of speech. and the same Is true Of the characters used in the Chinese language; but the number of Chinese characters commonly employed is still far greater than could be put on any typewriter So this nation of 400 .000.- 000 people has no typewriter in it's own tongue.
 But, that doesn't mean that no type writers are sold in China More and more Chinese are learning other Ian guages besides their own, and Chin ese merchants and resident foreign merchants use typewriters. and they are used in legations and in consular offices and in banks and shipping of ices and colleges, and by mission aries, by various people Altogether there are Sold in China a good many typewrtters

ADD BEAUTY TO THE STREET
Using Little Care in Planting

With informal planting in a wide parkway a park-like effect could be given on each side of the street that would go far toward connteractine the harsh, monotonous lines Of formallty in curb. sidewalk and property line; also the flatness and insufficiency of i a1i from standpoint of beauty of outlook. Street trees could be planted al various distances between curbs, singly. in twos and in threes, inter- spersed with clumps of shrubbery This would give a narrow park like effect on each side and could the walks be included the effect would be rendered still more beautiful and pic turesque The walks could gently curve from near one side to the other; the curves not so abrupt or pro nounced as 10 deter the hurrying Dc destrian from covering the shortest distance between two given points, yet enough to give beauty and vari- ety to the whole that would prove very satisfying to all observers All herein outlined has been carried out in many places, not all abroad, but In our own country-in Chicago, for ex- ample-therefore there Is nothing I'm practicable about it. The chief draw back is that the returns are not quick enough for our wildcat real estate boomers. Few can be found suf1- ciently unselhsh or generous enough to plant for future generations and nothing worthy of emulation in this line may be built on a less stabls foundation
