HAS NO PLACE IN STREETS
Authorities Give Warning as to the
Noxious Character of the Orna-
mental Plane Tree.

Residents Of towns where the plane
tree has beer planted in the streets in
large numbers will feel considerable
interest In some remarks made con-
corning that tree by an Australian pa
per, from which the following is an
extract: IF you are planting orna-
mental trees beware of the planes. In
the height of the summers heat many
people will be found coughing and
sneezing, and, incidentally. blasphem-
ing the weather and the season gen
orally. What has been the cause of
the epidemic? The victims have in
hailed the carnations or elections of
the insidious plane tree. An English
authority on forestry, DR.. Henry, takes
the popular view to be correct, and
another authority adds that as far
back as 1873 the newly installed Ger
man authorities in Alsace were warn
ed against the danger. Nurserymen
complain Of ailments brought on them
by contact with the mild looking Upas
tree. A London paper brings classic
lore to the theme of abuse. The an
cient Greeks, we are told, were proud
of their plane tree. which Xerxes much
admired; but their great physicians
were we'll aware Of the noxious ma
ture of the plane. London Globe.

Traffic and the City Plan.

There was a time when the city
planning movement touched the prob
lem of transportation very gingerly.
About the railroad company hung an
awful air of touch me not" The
most that the timid city planners
could hope to do with the railroad
company was to persuade it to plant
a few shrubs about the depot and to
hire one-legged switchman to keep
the grass cut. But now, praise be, the
city planning movement is growing
to be what its name implies. 1t Is not
afraid to move railroad around when
it needs to. Indeed, the very first
problem which it attacks, in given
locality, is the problem Of transporta-
ton. How do travellers get into the
city? How do the workers get>to their
work? How do the commuters ar
rive and depart?

DOES NOT MEAN PRETTINEss
Term "city Beautiful" Has Been Much
Misunderstood-Real Ends to
Be Attained.

That term 1.-THE City Beautiful"
sounds like tying pink ribbons around
lamp posts. Even as applied to civic
art, as distinct from city planning, the
name is sufficiently misleading. 1t is
the idea indicated by that unfortunate,
classifying phrase that Raymond IN
win, in his admirable Town Planning
in Practice" lampoona.
Civic art is too often understood to
consist of filling our streets with
marble fountains, dotting our squares
with groups of statuary, twining our
lampposte with wriggling acanthus
leaves or dolphins' tails, and our
buildings with meaningless punches Of
fruit and flowers tied up with impos-
sible stone ribbons"
1t is not the prettifying of cities that
is the object Of city planners. The
building Of intraurban, intercity and
interstate transit facilities, the con-
struction of sewers, of cutters, of gar
bage disposal plants, the destruction
of insanitary areas to be replaced by
decent housing, the development of
port facilities, the upbuilding of the
health of the city through the crea-
ton of Fairgrounds and parks-parks
primarily as health agents, not pretti-
fication measures-all Of these and
others are the chief aims of city plan
ming. There will, of course, he nee
essary improvement in the appear
ance of the city as the natural result
of skill in city building, and that i'm
provement is an entirely proper OBJ
ject, but 1t ought not to be permitted
to paralyze the whole movement
through the creation of an entirely in
correct understanding of the ends to
be attained.
- Other phrases have been suggested,
which are useful as antitoxins to that
"City Beautiful" phrase, but they gen.
orally accent some one phase of city
planning at the expense of the others.
1.-THE City Practical" 1.-THE City Use
full" 1.-The City Scientific" are exam
pies. One of the best is negative. 1t
was coined by Robert w. De Forest
and represents the movement as aim
ing to exterminate the "Unregulated
City Hideous."
But no phrase yet suggested epito-
mics the wide range of city planning,
and least of all can it be said that the
"City Beautiful" is the central thought
of it's opponents.

NeoIIoence called MansIauohter.


The case of Stehr VS.. State before
the Supreme Court of Nebraska, in
volved the sentence of a father for
from one to ten years in the penitenti-
airy for criminal negligence, because
during a blizzard in Nebraska, when
the weather was bitter cold, he per-
mitted the fire to go out, snow drifted
through a crack in the door and
broken windowpane, and the bedding
of all the members of the family was
frozen stiff. The feet of one of the
children were frozen, and although
such fact was apparent to the father
no physician was called in for 16 days,
when amputation was found to be nee
essary and the child died OF blood pois-
oning. The defendant was convicted
Of manslaughter' for criminal negli-
gence in failing to provide medical
care after he discovered the frozen
condition of the ehilds feet. In af-
firming the conviction the court held
that for parent having special charge
of an infant child culpably to neglect
1t so that death ensues as a conse-
qence is manslaughter, although death
or grievous bodily harm was not in
tended, and if the parent has not the
means for the chlids nurture it is his
duty to apply to the public authorities
for relief.

1t often seems that the style or APP

much difference as the site on which
1t is built. In every town and village
there are examples that prove this.

which give one a restful, home-like
feeling Just by walking past; yet the
house is really very plain and ordinary
in design.
Then for every one Of this kind
there Is one of the other sort to keep
the balance, probably. Every town
has them-the house is large and
pompous, quite an architectural crea-
ton in fact, but it is set down onto a
small lot, crowded in, with all the
trees and shrubbery cut down to make
room for it. In spite Of its size and
cost a residence Of this kind is very
far from attractive. The home build
er would not knowingly take such as
model; yet, many times he does be-
cause he does not understand the real
elements of success in planning an at
tractive home; and barren uninvit-
ing place is the result.
The experienced home builder will
always, If possible, select rough and
wooded site; if it is slightly billy so
much the better. The labor and ex-
pense, 1t is true. for grading and pre-
pairing the site for the building, and
for smoothing up the ground after
wards are greater; but the satisfac-

especially in connection with cobble
stone work. There are various pleas
ing ways in which shingles may be
laid to suit those who consider the
ordinary method of laying the shingles
In uniform rows, five inches to the
weather, too monotonous. A pleasing
variation is to place the shingles in
alternate rows of two and eight inches
to the weather. This requires no
more material or labor and gives a
very attractive appearance. The
shingles on the roof, however. should
always be laid in the regular way.

should be rather large and laid at ran
dom, not in rows, and should fit to-
gether closely. so that few of the NOR
tar joints are more than one-half inch
thick. The stones should stand out
prominently and should not be plas-
tered to a smooth surface with NOR
tar, neither should any broken. edges
be visible. A good workman, by the
proper use of cobble stones, as shown
in this design. can secure very orna-
mental effect and one exactly in keep
ing with the general atmosphere of
the rustic site on which the house is
built
For the walls of this house either
clap-boards or shingles may be used.
Shingles are always appropriate for
the walls of house of simple design.
