LOOKS TO PUBLIC WELFARE
Kansas City Institution Might Well
Be Copied by Other Big Centers
of Population.

The board Of public Welfare is an
institution in which Kansas City has
set an example for the whole country.
Delegations from other places repeat
edly have visited the city to study the
workings Of the board with the idea
of applying its principles at home.
The latest city to take the matter
up Is Chicago. Recently Mr.. Jacob
Billikopf Of the Kansas City board
was invited to explain its operation
70 the Chicago Association Of Com
merce. Following his add. ess an
ordinance has been introduced in the
Chicago council by Prof. O. e. Mer-
riam, an alderman, to establish de-
partment Of public welfare with two
bureaus.
One is the bureau Of employment,
which Is to operate municipal lodging
houses and gather Information on gen.
eral working conditions, as we'll as to
help persons find work. The second is
the bureau of social surveys, to col
lect information on living conditions
in Chicago and to recommend ordi-
nances for their betterment.
The judiciary committee OF the
council has unanimously recommend
ed the ordinance for passage. Cities
generally are beginning to assume
larger responsibilities for better con-
'ditions Of living.

In the early springtime. The open
spaces shown in this plot are reserved
for lawn. In the center Is lily pool,
having a cement basin. A gazing
globe Is at one end and a sun dial op-
posite. At each side Of the garden are
semi-circular white benches which in
vite one to tarry.
A scheme for a more pretentious
garden having stately Lombardy pop
lars and a pergola at the rear, has
proved popular. Beneath the latter is
placed a group of white garden furni'
ture. Perennial borders frame the
lawn with brilliant color. An edge of
lockwood is exceedingly good. Plant
tall-growing hollyhocks and mallow
marvels in the background. Masses
of helianthus, coreopsis and poppies
should appear in prominent groups
Foxgloves, English larkspur and hardy
phlox should be planted in abundance.
Japanese iris, snapdragon and gay
Sweet Williams are good just within
the shortcut lockwood border Step
ping-stones lead to the artistic sun

GARDEN PLAN WELL LIKED
Laid Out Along Lines Of the !lIustra-
ton 1t Will Be of Perma-
nent Beauty.

A very helpful plan for beautifying
the garden is shown in the accom-
panying illustration, which, If care
fully followed, will give results that
are successful and of permanent
beauty.
In the plan well-designed borders
are filed with shrubbery in the cor
ners, or the rear, and hardy peren-
malls in the foreground. These should
be planted according to their height
and color. Foxgloves, peonies and
Oriental poppies are excellent for
grouping. Both German and Japan
ese irises and brilliant Sweet Williams
must fnd a place here also. Narcis-
sus and daffodils give perfect effect

stratford, Oct. 19.---The South West End Improvement club held q public smoker In the rooms of the Avon A. C. club on Saturday evening The meet ing was presided dover by President Dressler and was largely attended. The club glas secured many benefits for the section of the town which 1t represents the latest being the poata- bIe school recently erected on Honey spot road.
 Whileathe school house is greatly ap-. preedated by the inhabitants of this section attention was called to the fact that the building was set too low and the recent rain had flooded the land around, making it inaccessible for the small scholars to get to, without un- t1ergoing many disadvantages.
 A board walk is greatly needed to extend from the school to the outside toilets. It was voted to take these matters up with the board of educa- ton and conditions no doubt will re- ceive prompt attention. Andng the speakers who addressed the meeting didate for senator on the Denocratfc ticket in the twenty-fifth district; John WiIcoxson, Democratic candidate for tax collector in Stratford. and John Conroy.
 Everything is in readiness for the

the use of tubercuin, sometimes bril- Iiantly successful. is very uncertain in it's results, and is not without danger.
 Finally comes the treatrne ent which I ask you to help us provides for the afflicted children of Connecticut, the seaside treatment. Considering this theatment, the last International Tuberculosis Congress passed the fol- lowing resolution:
 tIn view Of the need there is of treating surgical tuberculosis in spe- ciaI sanatoria, and in view of the suc- cess of the seaside treatment of sur gicaI tuberculosis, this Congress soI- enly resolves (emet le voeu) that there should be provided for eases of surgical tuberculosis, particularly for surgical tuberculosis in children, fspe- ciaI sanatoria on the seacoast; and that the building of these seaside sam l atorfa should be done on as large a scale as possible, and with little delay as possible"
 Seaside isanatoria for bone and gIandu1ar tuberculosis are in 0pera4 ton in most civilized states that look on the sea- Connecticut looks on the sea from q hundred miles of coast, but it has no seaside sanatoriurn. Why not2 Because public opinion has not been strong enough or we'll enough organized to overcome the opposition of the summer cottagers. The Con- necticut summer cottagers use the beach for eight weeks of the year, and therefore the crippled children of the state must for hfty-tyvo weeks of the year s5be deprived of the almost certain means of cure or relief that God has provided for them in their own state. Perhaps you think am making much of a small matter, and l skepticalIy you wish to ask: ssHow many cases of bone and sEandular tu- bercuIosis are there among the c11i1- dren of the state ?''
 It is a difficult question, but during the last few months the State Tuber- cu1osis Connlis ission has tried to find the answer. The replies so far. re- cefved from the teachers and others having charge of children indicate that there are in Connecticut about ?, 500 eases of gIandu1ar tuberculosis, and 2s000 eases of bone tuberculosis.
 We don't expect the state to pro- vide acconnmodatfo in seaside sana- toria for such an enormous number of patients. If we can persuade the legislature next winter to give us an institution that will care for even one hundred Of our little sufferers, we will be satisfied: for we know that the les- sons taught by it would quickly bring increased private and public benefac- tions, and would. place Connecticut in the front rank of those enlightened communities that fight tuberculosis with all the weapons at their com
 nands with strategy as we'll as force, with brains as well as dollars
