MAPLE TREES HIS MONUMENT
Pennsylvania Man Beautified Streets
of Espy Fifty Years Ago.

Fifty Years ago in Espy, Pa. NJ. c..
McCollum planted many maple trees on
the streets. He said that these trees
would always be a monument honor
ing his memory. During these years
Mr. McCOllum has taken great inter-
est in the growth and development Of
his trees.
This is a type Of patriotism worth
far more than that aroused by wars
alarms. 1t makes for better living
because it is constructive and per-
manent and bears on home life. In
deed, men reared in such surroundings
will be better citizens and, if need be.
better soldiers, because their homes
are more than walls of brick or wood.
Just as Mr.. McCollum has transformed
Espy from a village Of houses to a
village of homes. so countless other
villages and towns may be transform
ed. It needs only the awakening of a
genuine, peaceful patriotism to make
oneself a public benefactor in this
kind of way. Such a movement will
surely keep ones memory green better
than "storied urn or animated bust"

Against the Ubiquitous Billboard.

Agitation against the billboard
nuisance is lively in many sections and
in spite Of much opposition will not
down. Civic organizations in many
cities are waging a more or less bitter
warfare against this universally &C.
knowledged evil. One federation Of
clubs in a western state has this to say
in a circular recently issued:
Never cease to agitate talk against
the unsightly billboards and do all
within your power to rid your town of
them. Refuse to patronize firms ad-
vertising in this manner They will
soon find out it does not pay them to
use billboards in your town, and you
gill have gone a long way toward
Kidding the state Of them" An active
campaign for legislation adverse to
this Objectionable form of advertising
is now going on in numerous states
and in the end gives promise Of being
successful.

KANSAS CITY PARK PLAN.
New System of Taxation Successful.
PRODUCING Most Satisfactory Results.

New System Of Taxation Successful,
Producing Most Satisfactory Results.
How Kansas City. Mo-, through a tax
alton system based on dividing the city
into park districts. financed it's cam
paign for city Identification was told by
George e. Kessler, fellow of the Ameri-
a Society of Landscape Architects,
in IN address at the recent national
conference on city planning at Chi
cago.
"This system" said Mr.. Kessler, "has
placed the park department of Kansas
City in a semi-independent position
with reference to it's funds and has
made it possible to accomplish results
that would have been entirely out of
the question under any other financial
system in that city.
I'm practice the system is an amplif-
cation of the single tax theory. 1t was
not accomplished as a matter Of choice,
but as a matter of necessity, and, mas
much as no properties had been &C.
quired under any other system, the tax
paying public finally acquiesced and is
constantly urging an even more extern
sive development in order that the en-
tire city may obtain commensurate
benefits through improvement in every
sectiOn.'

More Window Boxes Needed.

Visitors to European cities note the
beauty and gayety given otherwise SOM
Der business buildings by the many
window boxes filled with bright foliage
and brilliant or attractive blossoms. In
those cities most noted for civic beauty
these boxes are a marked feature of all
classes Of buildings both public and
private. They are easily maintained
with little cost Of time or money, and
it is strange that more city jewellers do
not have them. Their bright blossoms
are restful to the eye and at the same
time inspiriting to the passerby as well
as to the occupants Of the house, and
a few window boxes in a block trans
form it from a drear, drab chasm Of
brick and stone into a vista that is
genuinely attractive.

THE CITY BEAUTIFUL
CITIES SHOULD CLEAN UP
FIRST AND THEN DRESS UP.
Cleanliness, PraoticabiIity and Eficien-
cy Should Be Citizens Thought.

"Dig into the consciousness Of the
average intelligent American citizen
when discussion Of any form of civic
improvement is proceeding, and you
are almost certain to find that he re-
fer: it all eventually to what he calls
the city beautiful movement" says j.
Horace MacFarland Of Harrisburg in
the Philadelphia Ledger.
HE thinks of community planning in
terms of civic centers, Illuminated
signs (the great white way, cluster
lighting and other display adjuncts.
His city beautiful, too, varies accord
ing to his ideals. One citizen showed
his conception of the city beautiful for
Newark by printing on the v Of a
billboard magazine a picture Of Broad
street in that New Jersey metropolis.
with every building bearing double
decked signs urging the merits of beer
and bread. of stoves and soap, Of toilet
powder and safety razors. Another is
much pleased when he can secure the
whitewashing of the mutilated tree
trunks about the unorderly public
square in his home town, while yet an
other sees in a tawdry soldiers monu-
ment, fanked by a monstrous fagpole,
several dismounted cannon, some wire
flower baskets and four or five enor-
nous telephone poles, his ideal Of a
civic center.
"1n a prosperous eastern capital city
the city beautiful thought was present
when a million dollar municipal build
ing was placed in surroundings that
make it grotesque, located as it is ut
terly away from other public buildings
Or open spaces.
Cali of these and others, with yet
other fifty-seven varieties Of misplaced
civic emphasis, are sincere in their de-
sires for their communities. But they
don't know what the city beautiful
really is, and, alas, they don't know
that they don't know!
1T is the city clean, the city prac-
teal, the city efficient, that we need in
America. In fact, l believe that clean
liness, practicability and efficiency must
and do surely precede real beauty. I
told a small community a few days
ago, in discussing it's very serious
needs, that it needed first to clean up
and then to dress up"
