To Preserve Trees

Dan Carey, general manager OF At
lanta's parks, announced Thursday
that in future more attention would
be given the trees in the city and
that he would begin by taking a
count of all public trees within the
corporate limits.
The age. variety and location OF
each tree will be recorded, a record
which, for completeness, probably will
be unequaled by any city in this
country. With the new tree moving
device provided by Council Mr. Carev
will be able easily to transfer trees
from one section to another.

Mr.. Weltner took the letter to the

1t is generally understood that the
County Board will adopt the recon-

the superintendent Of public works
probably will have his salary reduced

Reforms Proposed.
Among them are: A plan TO ais

clothing so the convicts can have
their clothing changed when Il goes

What chance is there for the social
butterfly behind the footlights? Can
she seek a career in the dramatic
field without relinquishing what home
ties she has, and, if she is not but
terfly, can she be an actress and con-
scientious mother and a devoted wife
at the same time? Can she associate
freely with the average run of play
folks without polluting her good taste
and lowering her moral standards
granting that she has both at the out
set? On the other hand. would a
wife be justified in seeking work on
the stage-previously assured that she
could make good-to help out her hus-
band in a financial stress, when her
husband and parents looked with dis
favor on such a life?

NO DANGER OF BREAD FAMINE,

Washington. ID. c.. March S.-The
worlds wheat crop Of 1913 was the
largest ever produced and amounted to
4,125, 1858, 900 bushels, according to a

"THE HIGHER LAW"

In speaking of Oscar Graham and
his company in The Higher Law a
recent press review states;
There is always strong vital
/, theme for every one of Mr.. Graham
plots, there is always a happy com
mingling of laughter and tears, there
is always a smoothness and finish to
every performance; a clean cut and
we'll groomed appearance to the actors
and a noticeable attention to details
"The Higher Law" has all the elevat
ing qualities OF Mr.. Graham's other
plays. 1t is something to make one
think and to give one better faith
in his fellow man.
The engagement of Oscar Graham
and his company should prove of inter
est particularly for the reason that
he comes here year after year and al
ways with something new. Mr.. Ora
ham is somewhat unique in that he is
both author and actor OF the produc-
tions. His last seasons play, The
Stumbling Block" was considered one
of the best ever seen here. 1t was
highly commended both for its dra'
matte force and high morality. In
1.-THE Higher Law" another play OF
the same type is promised. 1t is said
to present a most absorbing theme
which in its embodiment demonstrates
great truth-a truth which in the
ordinary course of affairs most all OF
us fail to realize; and that is, the Ear
reaching effect of assiduously prac'
ticing the golden rule.
The company includes most of the
old favorites who have been associated
with Mr.. Graham for so many years,
such as Loretta Graham, Ed Paulus,
Fred Washer, William Gray and Ray
Read.
1.-THE Higher Law" will be at the
opera house Thursday. March 8.

jority have, perhaps never faced 1t Sc
riously, but-and we say this with
conviction-there are thousands of
women the country over living the or
binary life who have thought they
would like to 60 on, the stage. Some
have combined with the ambition a
conviction that they could make good
that they were cut out fer an ac-
tress; some have looked rather at the
glitter, at the fame, the appreciation
OF the public, and some have simnly
thought that it would be an easy and
profitable way to escape tile dreadeh-
ing routine of the dull. work-a-day fam
lily life. 1t is odd, the attraction the
stage has for the average woman who
knows absolutely nothing about It.
| It is these women, no matter what
class, who are going to derive last
ing and striking lesson out Of this
play-one that impresses the fact that
no matter what the stage may have
to offer, 1t can never supercede or
take the place of home life, the little
ones and kind husband Not that
the play is a sermon. Far from it.
1t is a resolute drama Astounding in
dramatic intensity in sparkling situa-
lions, rapid action and pertinent eli
makes. 1t is direct and simple in de-
velopment and the human interest APP
peal is "ferme," firm, rare and gen.
eral. All who have the faculty OF
logic, reason, of approaching warm
hearted story, are going to enjoy 1t.
The play is going to answer the ques'
lions put above; 1t is important that
all should see 1t.
John Sprague, promising young
country minister, wins the love ana
hand of simple country girl, Marga-
ret. Her father does not look favora-
bly, on the match owing to Sprague's
! rather advanced ideas in social rela-
lions and pleasure. He has previously
encouraged an amateur theatrical per
Torrance in which Margaret had made
hit as Juliet. Shortly after the
young pair are married and move to
the city where John becomes the rec
tor of fashinoable church.
Time goes on and with it comes sue
cess for both. Margaret changes from
her simple country ways-becomes
somewhat a social butterfuly. Their
home is frightened by the arrival of a
baby girl Though the wife continues
| to have big love for her husband, she
pursues social pleasures Then comes
financial difficulties; and the trouble
brings all the wife's latent good to the
surface. In her desire to help her nus
band she remembers her success as an
amateur performer and determines TO
get a position on the stage to earn
enough to cover their losses.
And it is here that the play swings
into its big problem She secures
place and the indications are lnat
she is going to make good. She has
kept it a secret from her husband. But
he finds out and then there is mis-
Understandings mistakes her mo-
tives. But Margaret faces sterner
problems. She comes to realize it
realizes that even financial failure
cannot justify the forsaking of home
and loved ones. Her intentions were
good, however
In the end Sprague comforts his
wife in a great sorrow-the loss Of her
father-and leads her from the room
to better and fuller realization of her
wifely duties in the future.

inches In one hundred feet the veloci-

about thirteen and three-fourths miles
per hour. The discharge for the
twenty-four inch pipe in the first in
stance will be 5.OS6 gallons per minute
and for the sleeper grade 1920 gal
Ions per minute. It will therefore be
seen that twenty-four inch pipe laid
on a grade Of thirty-six inches to- the
one hundred feet will have over Eve
times the capacity of the same size
pipe laid on grade Of one inch to
the one hundred feet.
Under the same conditions the max
imum velocity for a twelve inch tile
on a grade Of one inch per one hun.
bred feet equals one and one-fourth

a grade Of thirty-six inches to the one

about s and one-sixth miles per hour
The discharge for the twelve inch tile
In the first instance would be 442 gal.
Ions per minute, and for the sleeper
grade 1850 gallons per minute, or
about Ave times as much.
BY increasing the fall, we increase
the capacity of the pipe, decrease the
size Of the pipe necessary, and there

Furthermore, culverts laid fiat will
soon fill up. but II given good fall,
they will keep themselves clear.
II much fall is obtained in culvert
pipe, the spillway should be paved.
Earth should be tamped under and
around the pipe In layers. and should
be of sufficient depth to prevent the
pipe from being broken by traffic; but
under no circumstances should ridge

only endangers the life OF the culvert
but is a menace to traffic.
An attempt to drain mudholes with
culvert pipe will fail in most cases.
The water should be drained off by
means OF open bitches; the soft mud
thrown out and replaced with just
enough good firm earth to make it
level latter consolidation with the
surrounding surface. II mudholes in
earth roads are filled with brush or
stone. 1t will usually result In two
mudholes. one at each end.
Repairs to roads should be made
when needed. and not once year af-

Because OF its simplicity. its eff

drag or some similar device is des-

general use With the drag properly
built and its use well understood, the
maintenance of earth and gravel
roads becomes simple and inexpen-

make the log so light that one man can

be drawn by two medium sized horses
and responds more readily to various
