IN certain western states the raising
Of pigeons on a large scale has become

been classified is from Massachusetts
in Commonwealth VS.. Chase, In which
the court holds that the pigeon or

its merits- Forty-two amendments
we're voted on, and In the zeal to de-

PARKS AND PUBLIC HEALTH
Chose Connection Between the Two

ance i Deserves.

The public parks occupy so promiT-
ent a place In the turtherance OF
health IN the public mind that even
the health authorities rarely deem 1t
necessary to formulate rules for the
conduct of those who resort to them
for health or pleasure. The most
prominent signs on the street cars OF
the city tell the Wayfarer Splitting Ia
forbidden under penalty Of the law"
That the enforcement Of this regula-
ton OF the board of health would pro
vent infection from germs contained
IN the expectoration there can be no
doubt.
The frequent cleansing Of the cars
and the absence CT sweeping air cur
rents in the modern street car, how.
ever, preclude to great extent the d:f-
fusion Of germs irom this source. IN

This tact has been brought 10 public
attention in Paris BY petition 20 tts

very real, indeed, far moro menacinG
than that from the less agltated air OF

LAWN MUST HAVE SHRUBBERY
Selection se a Wide One, But Some
Sort There Must 30 to Produce
Desired Good Effect.

Well placed shub5ery Is to the
home lawn as leaves are to tree.
The size and shape of the lawn will
determine the kind of shrubbery to
be planted, and where. The common
est kinds are: Snowfall. bush honey
suckle, bridal lilacs. Rather than
plant shrubs gathered III the woods,
plant the best that can be had from
the local nursery. This applies to any
plant.
Shrubs should be planted In eithor
spring or fall, preferably in spring,
when there is no growth. The SOIL
should be medium, rich. we'll drained.
relatively deep and we'll prepared be-
fore planting the perennials. They
should be planted just deep enough to
cover tho roots, which must be In COLI
tact with the soil particles. Tramp
the ground down solidly around the
plant. Do not plant when the soil Is
sticky.
The amount Of pruning on shrub
berry IS small for the best effect Is
obtained when 1t Is allowed to take It's

parts should be cut out. The larger
kinds of plants may be pruned to get
symmetry. And superfuous suckers
should be eliminated.
To maintain healthy shrub some
form of soil enrichers must be put
around the plant each fall and spring.
Il the plant is a tender one the stalk

lIaska's Floating Court.

Not many people ere aware that the
United States has a floating court
which is used in Alaska and which
dfspenses Justice there. Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo has issued
instructions to the commander OF
the revenue cutter Thetis to be pre-
pared to report at Valdez July 13,
to take aboard Judge Oyerfeh Of the
federal district OF Alaska, together
with his court officials. The Thetis
will touch at many ports, In which
the court will hear and adjudicate
both civil and criminal cases. Since the
floating fort was introduced, sta
tistics show that crime in the far
northern possessions OF the United
States has materially decreased.
