FOR BETTER SCHOOL GROUND
Los Angeles Newspaper Urges tho
Beautifying of Lands Adjacent to
Such Buildings.

The subcommittee on schools of the
1915 identifying committee, together
with the judges in the school grounds
that the work of identifying the
grounds of schools in Los Angeles
county be continued until every one OF
them shall be well embellished with
trees, shrubs and plants. The writer
sincerely hopes that the judges,
Messrs. Lahee, Kienholz and Mcqueen,
will aid the subcommittee In the
preparation of report sufficiently
definite and specific in its recon-
mendations so that a practical pro-
longation Of the present line Of work
may be assured until not only all the
schoolgrounds of this country shall
be artistically planted, but the move
ment spread to include all our beauti-
full southland.
In the past people who should be
most interested have often proved
unusually apathetic on the question Of
establishment of school grounds. It
has been q matter of nderment to
the writer why the one piece Of
ground in a community in which all
have common ownership and in which
all have a common interest should be
the only one neglected. Yet such has
proved to be true in a score of cases
coming under observation. Now SEN
timent is undergoing a rapid change
for the better. The impetus given the
identifying Of school grounds by the
1915 committee will be far-reaching
and permanent. If the one suggestion
made be carried out, namely, that no
prize winner of the present year be
allowed to compete for two years, the
time will come when nearly all will
have won one or more prizes and all
will be more or less beautiful. The
county should have an official adviser
to visit and report upon ways and
means of improving each school, or,
better STILL the county should hire
some competent designer to plan every
school ground in the county. Then
would all have the same foundation
on which to begin work-the only prop
er foundation.-Los Angeles Times.

Had anyone been near enough to

something comforting to the lonely
fugitive in the red glow cast upon
the glitterlng snow. Without hesita-

WHEN BUILDING THE CHIMNEY
Care in Avoiding Defects Would Do
Much to Prevent Disastrous Con-
fIagrations.

A great majority of the fires, as
shown by statistics, are caused by de-
fective chimneys. Therefore, so far as
safety from fire is concerned, the Chin
ney is one of the most important fea-
lures of the new house. Money spent
here is well spent, so do not skimp on
the chimney.
A good foundation carried below
ground level is an absolute necessity;
also care in the construction of the
chimney, to prevent burning SCOT COM
ing in contact with any woodwork, Is
important.
Built of either brick or cement,
there should be seamless column ex-
tending above the ridge of the roof.
The fues should be sufficient in num-
Der and properly placed. There should
be separate flues for the heating sys-
tenn and the kitchen range, and an
other for the fireplace.

Teaching City Management.

The University of Texas having led
the way with course in city manage
ment, the University of Kansas Is
preparing to do likewise. 1t is only
a question of time when all the lead
ing American universities will thus
recognize the cities need to be pro-
vided with a supply Of trained experts
for municipal services. 1t will then be
possible for men and women who fit
themselves for this work to look for
ward to life careers in it. City halls
will cease to be schools for raw be-
ginners every two or four years. Tax
payers will get the cumulative value
of experience in office.-St. Louis Post

and had earned for him his cognomen
Of Black jake, trembled little, and
the thin, blue lips pulsated with low
muttered maledictions heaped upon
the world in general. The sporting
element soon forgets old pals down on
their luck, he reflected.
Nervously scanning the faces of
shoppers emerging from the doorway
OF q department store, Jakie's face
lighted up as he saw petite figure
laden with many bundles start across
the sidewalk. Marie Lecourt! Yes,
1t must be she. Marie, the prettiest
girl in the .Follies chorus. Should he
speak to her? Perhaps she would
have at least kind word for the fel.

ners at swell cafes and had lavished
his money on her when he had it. In
stinctively he started forward, his
hand on his ancient velour hat, the
one relic of palmy days.
But almost as he started he checked
himself No, it would be better not
to speak to Marie, for she, like all
the rest of the old crowd, would turn
him down, would refuse to speak to
q bum.
He stepped back to the shelter of
the elevated pillar just as Marie
turned to cross the street. Her bright
eyes twinkling with good cheer, she
came up quite close to jake. Sud-
denly a fash OF recognition crossed
her countenance and she almost
dropped her packages as she rushed
forward.

you? Where have you been? What
are you doing here and where are you
going?"
Before jake could think of an an
swer to the questions which called
for recital of almost his entire life's
history, she went on:
For goodness sake, jake, you look
a sight! What's the idea of all this
poor-folksy makeup? Is It a stall or
are you really forced to wear them ?"
Forced Is right" replied jake.

PRUNING Deciduous Trees.

Do not be afraid to prune deciduous
trees and shrubs now, simply for the
reason that they are carrying green
leaves. 1t is good rule to prune the
shrubs just as soon as they are past
blooming. Trees, however large, may
be profitably pruned now, unless the
entire top is to be removed. Small
branches need no treatment subse-
quent to pruning, but large cuts should
be treated with linseed oil, paint, as
phalt, tar or any protective substance
that will exclude air and form and
maintain a film over the wound. The
latter will then start to heal over this
season and the work be vigorously re-
newed in early spring.

from the back, and clambering gin
gerly over the wall crept up to the
window from which the light came.
Raising himself till his head was
on a level with the sill, he peered
through the uncurtained window into
a barely furnished living room, light
ed by great fire Of glowing turf.
A couch stood in one corner, on
which lay youngish man whose ban
daged head showed him to be the
victim Of some accident. On a chair
beside him sat sweet-faced wom-
an, and on the bare earthen floor
played two children-a curly-haired
boy of about seven, and a chubby girl
q year or so younger
But what arrested Mikes attention
was little Ar tree, not more than
four feet high, which stood planted
in an old bucket, on the table in the
