DeitallxinQ Air In CIties.

City air has amazing properties. The
smoke and SCOT thai are always in the
atmosphere (there are 5000 tons OF
SCOT hanging over London every day.

phur when 1t meets certain substances
forms sulphuric acid, or vitrol.
1t was the vitrol in the atmosphere
that brought the great roof of Charing

years ago. The engine smoke had
eaten away the iron, which was insult,

electrified. 1t was a great joke at one
of the stations for passengers to 90

girder. which at one point was nearly
as soft as putty.
Paint is In such cases the engineers
great standby. In some ways paint is
more powerful than iron.
Many city buildings might be said to
be practically held together by paint,

HIGH IDEALS NOT REACHED
Municipal Reforms Have Yet Much to
Do Before They Can Demon
strate Real Value.

For the past few years municipal
government has seemed to undergo q
general and thorough improvement
but in reality creating a spirit OF un.
rest and a feeling Of uncertainty quite
destructive of the high ideals ostensi-
bly, striven for. Never in the history
OF this country have We had SO many
~so-called municipal reforms in vogue
all over the country as at the present
time. In many instances the effect
has been beneficial and doubtless will
eventually prove valuable to all cities,
for such campaigns have been educa-
tional and have awakened great inter
est in civic affairs on the part of even
the humblest citizen. In the end when
all Is simmered down. the people will
insist on keeping their affairs where
they may be quickly and easily
when changes are found desir.
While consolidation of city and
county governments will doubtless
prove economical by reason of reduc,
ing the number Of officials necessary
do the work as now performed. mu.
governments must give the
people more and closer representation
before the so-called reform wave will
settle down to an enjoyable calm

Ornamental Yards.

We still have too many people who
seem to love bare ground or. slightly
better, rows of corn or cabbages, rath-
or than stretches Of grass or Towering
border plants. Order is heavens
first law" and the first attempt at i'm
provement should consist of making
the yard orderly. Then plant in an
orderly, digni1ed yet simple manner,
and on a similar plan and you will
not go far astray. No objection should
be urged against fruit trees in the
front yard. more especially II they be
citrus Dr. other evergreens. Loquats
and avocados both are handsome trees
and shrubs Of guava, carissa and
feijoa are as ornate as any non-frutt
bearing plants. Any or all Of them
will make a decided and welcome
change In any yard now a stretch Of
bare soil.

and Consideration That Il
Calls For.

A young writer In the Atlantic
Monthly. Randolph s. Bourne. starts
a line Of inquiry that ought to be fol-
lowed up. He chooses a suburban
town, striving to retain its soul
against the adjacent city's onslaughts.
and in that. We think. he follows op-
portunity rather than judgment. Su-
burbs are not very representative. He
also, We think. neglects some of the
most vital features of the life Of Amer
ican towns. He has probably worked
In some seminary subject to German
influence. But his idea is q good one.
Millions Of Americans live in towns"
OF one sort or another, and a compe-
tent account Of the life Of the various
sorts of American towns. done with
sympathy and imagination. would
us a lot about ourselves. 1t
would have economic values. 1t would
make many Of us understand better
what we care about, and how We are
daily occupied. and how much better
we and our neighbors might be doing.
1t would give definiteness to latent
public spirit. 1t would help quite ap-
preciably In the present vigorous but
tunguided endeavor of Americans to
make their W lives interesting 9th
than by the mere mimetic study
OF the lives Of other peoples.-Har

and Coarse Pores always repulsive

Have you ever seer so many careless
people with sallow, rough faces, wrink-
ly hollow cheeks, also freckle faces and
coarse pores, walking the streets, in
stores, on street cars, and at social
gatherings? They ought to know that
their W friends turn from them with
disgust.
Freckles, coarse pores, pimples are
an ugly sight in society and in business
life. Refined folks usually avoid meet

for it probably did the best it could,
and it may be the new administration
can't do any better, but we have
learned that if you don't kick like a
bay steer you just get the merry ha,
ha! about all poor devil gets. any
way. But here goes:
Kick No. 1.-The authorities
caused the reside nts on the east side
OF Seymour street. formerly the finest
street in the city, to put down side
walks, but failed to do their part by
putting down crossing a, the inter-
section of Williamson avenue and
Seymour street. That was not a
square deal. Square it up.
Kick No. a.--We object to the
water on the north side of William
son avenue and some from Campbell
street being turned across Seymour
street, helping to ruin that magnifi.
cent street, instead of being turned
across Williamson avenue and being
sent down the hollow with the water
from the south side of avenue.
Roar.-Our roar is on account of
that pile of yellow mud between the
DR.. Short and DR.. Yarnell properties,
that s the straw that broke the camel's
back and paralyzed Seymour street,
and US folks over there don't propose
to be trarnpled in that yellow mud,
or tramp through it either. And
again, if Often, Moreland, Thomp.
son, Garrison or the editor wanted
to buy an auto how would we get
home in muddy weather through that
yellow mudl Why we would have
to go around by Elwyn Prices OF

1t is no trick to write a rick of PONIES
in spring or winter, to grind big loads
of bughOuse odes, and ship them to the
printer; but when the days are all abIaze
it's rough on crossroads poets; the solar
fires melt down their Tyres and get their
divers goats. It's hard to rhyme in
summer time, in wild and woody wealth
er; one cannot bring the proper swing.
the words won't fit together. It's hard
to raise the helpful lays and keep the
harp a-going, it's hard, by heck, when
down your neck four kinds of sweat are
flowing. One must be strong to plan a
song, to plan song and harp it, when
down his nose the wet sweat flows and
dTips upon the carpet. It's hard to sing
a song, o jung, some note of comfort
bearing, some helpful thought to pill
grims hot, when one would fain be
swearing. It's hard to rise to song when
flies around ones head are buzzin', which
still remain when one has slain about
million dozen It's beastly hard upon the
bard to grind his August jingles, so don't
abuse the pote whose muse has prickIv
