conditions comparable with those of the spring months at the north obtain; growth Is only temporarily interrupted, and there Is therefore no natural req son why plants should shut themselves up In forest proof boxes, as do the broad leaved species of the north. At the south evergreens are the rule and not the exception. In habit of growth and character of foliage, the evergreen plants of the south aside from the conf fers, of which there are many are quite exempt from the objection urged against the pdofuse use of conifers at the north. The beautiful rounded form of the live oaks which, from Richmond, Va, southward along the coast. forms such an important feature In street and park adornment. Is en- tirely exempt from the quality of som- berness. Other broad leaved evergreens are the magnolia, the palmettoes, the camilla.
 In regions with a sufficiently mild climate, the Australian pine makes a most graceful avenue tree.
 Value of Home Decorations
 To harmoniously arrange trees, shrubs and the herbaceous plants and at the same time adjust them to the contour of the place of the architecture of the buildings and to the convenience of the walks and drives. Is the aim of the landscape gardener. As his guide and model he takes nature, and in SO far as she Is followed his work is pleas ing.
 Every successful attempt to adorn the city lot. a suburban place, or a park has valuable influence upon tho community in which 1t is situated. It furnishes an object lesson which oth- CTS will attempt to follow and in this way 1t serves the useful purpose of stimulating in others love for the beautiful in nature.
 Fortunately, the beauty which Is pro- duced by ornamentaal paintings cannot be selhshly kept for tho exclusive use of its owner; every passer-by can take the full measure of his capacity with out in the least detracting from the value of the plantation to Its owner. Every person who plants tree Is a public benefaetor

The use of honarary titles is as old as the hills. or rather as old as cviliza- tion. They are generally bestowed on dignity The use of titles of nobility in tbis country Is forbidden by the consti- tuition of the United States, yet it Is doubtful if unearned titles of honor and distinction are more freely betowed, any where on the globe, than in this glorious land of the free and home of the brave.
 Especially true is this of military ti- ties and in every community there are numerous colonels and captains, majors and commodores, who have never smelled power, manned a ship or unsheathed sword. The title of doctor is pronis- cousy applied even to persons whose nearest approach to the practice of med- cine is jerking sodawater in a third rate drug store. or cutting corns and toe nails. Probably the title of professor
 is the most abused of them all for 1t is applied to every montepank or faker who fleeces a confiding public. In such disrepute has the title of professor fallen, that teachers and educators of promi- hence and note have cast it in the dis card, and prefer the plain mister in it's stead.
 Nearly every lawyer is addressed as judge or at least things he ought to be. while to address justice of the peace as squire would incur his un- dying enmty Judges of hogs and dogs are given the judicial title and it has been bestowed even to him whose only claim to the distinction IS as judge of whisky
 Churchly titles are not so much in evidence, yet even the title of reverend is sometimes given those not the least qualified for that sacred and honored appelation. Except in remote rural com seldom applied other than In a flippant manner.
 Tt falls to the lot of one distinguished citizen of Birmingham to have an un- | usual unearned title bestowed on him, | and one which he wears with becoming | dignity. He is not of the cloth yet to ! many of his intimate friends he is known | as "Bishop.' How he latched onto the
 title, or how it latched onto him Is a

MAY PUT AN END TO BURDEN SOME MILITARY AND NAVAL ESTABLISHMENTS OF THE NATIONS

.'The war in Europe brings out some striking examples of mental attitude to- ward fighting" said Bishop J. H. Mo Coy yesterday. "It is a horrible situation in this day of enlightenment to have so many of the greatest Christian nations of the world at each others throats.

 Perhaps the present conflict may in the end prove beneficial to mankind. Per haps it will put an end to the burden some military and naval establishments that nations have felt compelled to main- tain. Perhaps the cutting down of these great military establishments will grad ually wean mems minds away from the idea of fighting, for after all If the youth of a land are constantly sehooled in mili- tary matters and in the ever present possibility of a fight it is natural for them to think of using their military train ing to carry their point when controversy arises instead of settling it by conflict of wits"

WILSON CRITICISED
BY WICKERSHAM
Former Attorney-General I'm
der Taft Attacks Antitrust
Theories of President,

PHILADEL PHIA, Feb. 97-Th'
Sherman law and additions to it sug
gested by President Wilson or EN-
bodied in bills now before Congress
were discussed by eX-Attorney Gen
oral George W. Wickersham at 9
meeting of the American Academy OF
Political and Social Science here last
night.
Mr. Wickersham, who as President
Taft's business and corporation ex-
pert appeared for the government In
many proceedings under the Sherman
law, declared that the measure was
adequate to cope with all existing
evils Of monopoly. He criticised Sc
verely amendments to the law sug-
gested by President Wilson as well
as changes embodied in pending bills
and suggested that the mature pub
lie opinion' which President Wilson
had recommended as the final test
was already to be found in the laws
controlling corporations enacted in
fifteen or more States
Mr.. Wickersham quoted frequently
from those parts of President Will
sons recent message to Congress
He laid particular emphasis upon
this passage from the Presidents
message:
"Surely we are sufficiently familiar
with the actual processes and meth
DDS of monopoly and of the many
hurtful restraints of trade 70 make
definition possible at any rate up to
the limits OF what actual experience
has disclosed These practiseS being
now abundantly disclosed can be eX-
plicitly, item by item, forbidden by
statute in such terms as will prac-
tically eliminate uncertainty the law
itself and the penalty being made
equally plain.
1t was presumably to accomplish
the purposes outlined by the Presi-
dent, Mr.. wickersiam said, that two
bills now pending before Congress
were introduced. He charged that
the bills fail in their purpose since
they do not attempt "eyen to codify
the decisions of the Supreme Court"
and, he added nor do they tend to
make certain any uncertainties found
to exist in the printed law. They in
troduce new phraseology which
would call for new and uncertain
judicial construction"
After analyZing the proposed
amendments to the antitrust act at
some length and pointing out that
they contained many an Invitation
to a lawsuit Mr.. Wickersham quot
ed again from the Presidents mes
sage as follows:
constructive legislation when sue
cessful is always the embodiment of
convincing experience and Of the ma
ture public opinion which finally
springs out of That experience"
He declared that the antitrust leg
islation now before Congress did not
embody such convincing expert
He said that II such expert
snce was wanted it might be found
in the trust-governing laws Of fifteen
pr more States enacted since 1906.

will become an integral factor in the
architectural composition of Adelbert
College campus. It's style is TO be
English collegiate gothic and follows
closely the spirit of recent building
projects at Western Reserve Univer-
sity
/. The building will be on Adelbert-
I'd S. E., just south of Adelbert hall
dormitory.
General plans call for red brick
exterior with gray stone trimmings.
The building will consist of two
stories and a basement. The exterior
finish will bring the gymnasium into
color harmony with other structures
on the campus.
The big features are both large and
small gymnasium floors, a natator-
ium, trophy rooms, rooms for hand
ball and other games, administration
and general office quarters,
A Encouragement of the college
athletic field is included in the archi-
tect's drawings,
On the first floor will be the adj
ministration offices, social room, ath-
letic association Offices and ladies'
room. The practise gymnasium, the
educational room, handball court,
general check room and trophy hall
comprise the balance of the first floor.
The swimming pool is a one-story
annex at the rear. There will be a
gallery for visitors at the west end
of the natatorium. This will be APP
preached from the first floor of the
main building.
The pool is to be so located as to
be closely associated with the base
ment of the main building where the
lockers are situated.

Sex Education in Advanced
Schools Is Urged by Doctors

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Sex educa-
ton, especially in the colleges and
advanced schools, was advocated by
speakers last night at the meeting
of the Society of Sanitary and Moral
Prophylaxis in the American Acad-
envy of Medicine.
DR.. william f. Snow, executive sec
rotary of the American Social Hy-
giene Association, said: sex edu-
cation in the public schools is now
on the firing line. There is no use
trying to formulate laws in advance
of public opinion, but the consensus
of trained opinion is that such edu
cation is necessary and cannot be
left to parents. Eventually sex edu-
cation will be a regular part of the
curriculum"

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Dr. D. H.

Cigarette League of America, said
last night at meeting of the Anti
Cigarette League, of New York, in
the Metropolitan Temple. that he had
never seen a person retain taste
for cigarettes after one application
of the silver nitrate treatment The
solution, used as a mouthwash, he
said, creates a distaste for tobacco.
Nearly all the crimes committed
by youthful criminals in our big cities
are done by cigarette fiends," said
the doctor. The cigarette smoker is
committing suicide on the instalment
plan. Nearly all our politicians and
millionaires die of heart failure.
