VALUE OF TREES IN STREETS
Matter Is Becoming Universally Rec.
ognlzed as Highly Important Part
Of City Planning.

We occasionally find in the public
print a news item that gives especial
qualification because 1t marks some
progressive step in one or another d.
rection. Such q note is that from
B~ridgewater, Mass, wherein h tree
warden of that town, In support OF
claims for the loss Of trees by escap-
ing illuminating gas, makes the asser-
ton that the destruction of good
healthy shade trees on property de-
creases it's valuation at least 20 per
cent. That is good doctrine and we
hope 1t will be affirmed in the court
should court action be found neces-
sary to collect compensation in this
instance. Gas and electric companies
will not be so careless regarding in
jury to trees, public or private. when
the public come to a full realization
of their rights and a proper estimate
of the intrinsic value Of growing trees
as property and as material assets in
computing the worth Of a town from
a practical as we'll as al esthetic
standpoint. Massachusetts has good
ret warden laws and as a rule her
towns have been blessed with good
earnest officials who have performed
the duties of their position In a most
able, conscientious and philosophical

NOT SUITABLE FOR THE NAVY
Would.6e Sailors Hardly Understood
the Duties Required Of Fighters
on the Ships OF U. s.

They tell q story about a certain
secretary OF the navy who had never
seen a ship, and who exclaimed. when
he began to explore a man-of'war,
Good gracious, it's hollow! This is
an unlikely yarn. but It is a fact that
there are people who apparently know
as little about a ship as a Sioux In
dian.
Some weeks ago a man visited the
receiving ship Wabash, lying at the
Charlestown (Msss.) navy yard. and
said he would like to ship, but would
not enlist II he could not be given
work TO which he was accustomed,
He was not enlisted. for he would be
useless. He was a paperhanser.
Another man went aboard and
asked to see the captain. He a In
formed that that official was very
busy. He then made his errand
known to the officer of the deck. He
wanted to enlist and care for the cap
tain's horse, for he was a stableman.
Another wanted to enlist as a ships
roofer, and once a gardener called to
Obtain employment. Flowers and gar
dens are scarce on board Of a United

POINT ABOUT HOUSE NUMBER
Should Always Be So Arranged az
Easily to Be Read From Street
or Sidewalk.

A small detail of the new home
Is the house number, yet it is not
an insignificant one. 1t is an extreme
ly useful detail and should occupy a
position in keeping with its useful
ness.
Even the commonplace house num-
Der furnishes opportunities for novel
ty and originality in its display. Con-
spicuousness is its prime requisite;
therefore any unusual feature in the
architecture of the entrance-pillars
or porches-may make a very salts
factory background for these numbers,
and afford due prominence to them.
In Ease the house sets far back
from the street, with an approach Of
cement steps, a good idea is to place
the number in dark colors upon the
riser of one of the steps near the
street.
Should the approach be a brick or
cement walk the numbers may be ap-
piled equally well to that. Sometimes
q cement block at the curb may con-
tain the number.
Should one desire an illuminated
number-a great convenience for the
stranger, the glass globe Of the en-
trance porch lamp may be used as a
medium.

Information for Farmers.

The cultivation Of drug plants in
the United States, concerning which
there has been considerable agitation
since the outbreak of the present war
in Europe, is the subject Of a farmers
bulletin recently issued by the de-
partment of agriculture. This publ
cation gives, in addition to general
instructions regarding cultivation,
harvesting and marketing, specific and
detailed information concerning about
sixty of the leading drug plants which
have been grown in this country. The
author, w. w. Stockberger, takes a
conservative view of the possibilities
offered by this branch Of agriculture
in this country, and especially depre-
Gates the extravagant claims made in
some quarters by persons interested
in the sale Of plants and seeds, who
ask "the public to believe that extra
ordinary profits may be realized from
growing medicinal plants, ever in a
situation no more promising than the
average city back yards"

Substitute for Cement.

Those wishing for an exterior effect
of cement plaster in the new house
may achieve this result by using an
especially prepared felt siding, which
gives the effect of plaster and at
a much less cost. This siding comes
in rolls and is composed Of layers of
felt, asphalted or tarred and given an
outside coating Of gravel or fine
crushed stone. 1t is claimed to be,
when properly applied, both durable
and dampproof.
1t is applied horizontally, with
cleats nailed over each joint. This
produces the effect of a plaster-cov-
cred house, marked off into squares
by wooden castings.
This siding may also be used with
good effect on certain types of houses,
as a frieze under the caves, with
brick or other material below.
