Local Boy Describes

Amid the hills and wooded lanes OF

interesting to the American tourists

country, Donald Johnston, q student
in the Harvard school OF architecture
and landscape gardening, son Of DR..
and Mrs NJ +. Johnston Of this city,
writes to local friends OF his trip

Interesting descriptions Of the won

The last letter received from Mr..
Johnston was dated, Harvard House,
Stratford-on-Avon, July 20, In which
the writer outlines his trip during the
last few weeks. The trip being taken
by the two young men is Of particular
interest because he is touring the coun-

his observations, which will be used

Screening Automobile Lights

An Indianapolis councilman recently intro
duced into the council of that city an ordinance
providing for the screening of automobile head
lights. This would provide for some sort of an
arrangement cutting down the glare of the lights
while in the city, but making it possible to I'M
screen them when the automobilist heads for the
open country.
On country road, brilliant far-carrying
lights are necessary But such is not the case on
city street. When lights are too strong, they
confuse pedestrians other drivers and often de-
feat their own purpose.
Some light, of course, is necessary because
there are dark places here and there on the
streets and because they help other persons on
the thoroughfare to see the approaching car.
But one needs only stand on the sidewalk any
night and look up and down the street to see that
the glazing, flashing headlights carried by auto
mobiles make it almost as difficult to avoid them
under some circumstances as would darkness
itself.
There have been two or three accidents local
y during the past few months directly traceabe
to confusion caused by too strong headlights. 1t
might be excellent thing for our own city faith
ers to look into the matter with a view possibly
of drawing up such an ordinance as that now
being contemplated by the Indianapolis council

Mattawan Creeks

Down in the mosquito haunted state OF New
Jersey is Mattawan Creek. On this stream Is
small dock owned by town OF the same name
as the creek But no ship ever ties up at That
dock It is almost inaccessible and its sole utlli-
ty consists in furnishing place where barefoot
ed youngsters can angle for the agile sun-flsh.
This is all that Mattawan Creek amounts to so
far as navigation is concerned. Nevertheless,
the great United States government mas alreaoy
spent 5000 on this stream and plans this year
to spend $4,000 more.
Has any of this, money, will any of this mon
ey ever be spent for one single days work on
that turtle haunted stream? Only the most
bucolic innocence would ever dream OF such an
impossibility. This creek is located in the dis
trict represented by Thomas j. Scully, VINO Is
member of the Rivers and Harbors Committee OF
the house of representatives. The $4,000 ap-
propriated by the present Democratic Congress
will not be spent on docks and harbors for Mat
tawan Creek. Mattawan Creek has no docks and
harbors. This money will be used by Mr.. Scully
and his political managers for purposes which 1t
might be indicate for us to describe.
This country seems to be covered with Mat
tawan Creeks. Indeed, from the history OF river
and harbor appropriations they seem to be stead
lily increasing.
During the twenty years between 1875 and
1894, more than $187 100000 was appropriated
for them. During half that length of time be-
tween 1894 and 1904, the figures had climbed up
to 1884 1885, 900. In the succeeding four years,
between 1911 and 1914, the annual appropriation
had so grown as to make $18434500O. From

and 1904, harbors and rivers appropriations in
creased five hundred per cent.
In ironic contrast to these sky-mounting fig
ures may be placed the fact that traffic on navi-
gable streams during the same period decreased
eighty per cent. Calculation would doubtless
show that the United States government pays
more money for every ton Of merchandise trans
ported by inland vessels than do the shippers
themselves.
