BEND IS
PRAISED FOR ITS
NATURAL BEAUTY
Miss Grace Osborne Says Out
of 81 Indiana Cities She Wis
tied This City Has Finest
Streets and Alleys.

South Bend has the finest natural
advantages Of any city Of northern
Indla2a. according 20 the statement Of
Miss 81. Gr@ce Osborne. prominent
landscape gardener OF indianapolis,
made at the mass meeting held at the
'high school Thursday evening.
Miss Osborne. who was brought
here under the auspices OF tho NUM-
edpal recreation committee as part
Of the city-Wide cleanup movement,
gave a very interesting address on
city identifying based on an extensive
study OF the subject. and drawing her
local applications from an automobile
tour OF south Bend during the after
noon.

Miss Osborne, this city has the best

the statements made during her ad-
dress.
River a Beauty Spot.
The St Joseph river she stated is
tne greatest natural asset that the city
possesses, and could be made one Of
the finest beauty spots in the state
with very little expense. She advO-
Gated that the practice of ma king the
river banks a dumping ground for
refuse tin cans and other unsightly
objects should be discontinued. and
hat shrubs and trees should be
planted.
By converting the lower areas into
sunken gardens, she explained, the
river banks could be made the most
beautiful place in tie city.
The economic waste Of vacant lots
was pointed out. and the suggestion
made that South Bend show charity to
her poor by giving them a chance TO
help themselves by making gardens
on the unoccupied lots that are scat
tered throughout the city.

Lime Not a Fertilizer.

There is a general impression among
farmers that lime is fertilizer. Lime
Is not fertilizer. The prime reason
for applying lime to the soil is to cor
rect sourness or acidity where such ex-
lists. The legume crops, such as clover
and alfalfa, do not thrive on sour soil
unless the soil is very rich. Sour soils
are not well suited to the development
Of beneficial bacteria, which are found
in the tubercles of these crops. 1t Is
mainly for the purpose Of favoring the
growth of these bacteria that lime Is
applied to soils. Ground limestone Is
the form of lime which is usually
cheapest as a soil sweetener.
There are other effects of lime, but
most of them are of less Importance
Lime tends to make plant food avail
able from the soil, although this Is
largely through its beneficial effect on
the bacteria. In large quantities it
tends to make clay soils more friable,
but this effect of lime is usually OBJ
served only where the freshly water
slaked or air slaked lime is applied in
large quantities. Ground limestone has
much less effect in this respect.
A fertilizer usually gives a quick re-
Spouse in the crop to which it is ap-
piled provided the soil is in need of the
plant food added. Lime, on the other
hand, usually has a less immediate
effect, the benefit being distributed
through number of seasons. On very
sour soils, however, where enough lime
Is added to entirely sweeten the sur
face of six or seven inches the effect
upon crops, particularly clover and al
falfa, is often immediate and striking

PLANNING OF
GARDEN CITIES
WOrkingmen's Homes That Are
Economical and Sanitary.
SIMPLE and ATTRACTIVE.

These Have Met With Great Success In
England, While Also the Idea Has
Been Taken Up In Germany and
observation-disclosures Are Low and Own
erships Encouraged.
by Frank Rooster, consulting engineer,
New York; author of Modern City
Planning and Maintenance-"l
The garden city in its best form is
well organized development, in which
from 100 to 500 homes make up a unit,
which is intended to grow little If any
larger. When additional demand
springs up for quarters a new garden
city is formed elsewhere, and thus the
identity of the existing one is preserv-
ed Indefinitely, and the residents, in the
expectation of spending their lives In
their own homes, have every incentive
to embellish them and keep their
grounds in the best possible condition.
The garden city in plan should be
laid out in the simplest, yet most at
tractive manner. There being no traf-
f1c Of any consequence the streets
should be planned with the degree of
irregularity which insures charm.
Some of the streets should be winding,
while the straight ones should have
suitable terminals. Each house should
be provided with a spacious garden,
as it is from the gardens that such

cities take their name. Such gardens,
though partially devoted to vegetable
raising, should also be well laid out
with flower beds, and the whole gar
den city should be subject to such reg
ulations as will insure sufficient atten-
ton being given to the gardens to pro-
duce the intended appearance. Grass
plots, trees, hedges, shrubbery and ar
bors should be in abundance both in
the front and in the rear of the houses.
The neglect of the residents should not
be allowed to mar the appearance of
the city.
The houses may be quite simple and
compact in design. but they should all
be individual in character and by no
means the frightful rows of boxes, all
exactly alike. which are put up for
workmen's houses in most rural or
suburban places devoted to such pur-
poses.
The economical design of the build
ings and the small expenses for streets
make the housing cost small, SO that
the rent may be low or the workman
may in a reasonable length of time
become the owner of his own home.
Garden cities should be laid out with
in easy reach Of transit facilities, and
natural advantages of site should be
seized whenever possible to give indi-
viduality and charm to the plan.
The sanitary provisions Of the gar
den cities should be carefully carried
out, and the details should be simple,
but solid in construction and as iuex-
pensive as possible.
A garden city is principally place
Of residence, and it should have as
few stores as possible, only those of
the most necessary character being
provided. A school may be the only
building Of a public character
In garden cities, however, which are
larger and located in a more or less
Isolated position the suburban charac-
ter Is lost, and they become small
cities and should be accordingly pro-
vided with a great number and vari-
ETY. of stores and public buildings.
The city may have its own civic or
ganization, with schools, a library,
churches, museum, theaters and the
like, and be complete civic unit.
Garden cities have met with greater
success in England than anywhere else
as yet. although greater number and
variety of them are now in process of
formation In Germany.
The principal English garden cities
are Port Sunlight, near Liverpool;
Bonneville. near Birmingham. and
Letchworth, near London. while the
leading German garden city is Helle-

raise the branches so high as to make
the tree look like a telegraph pole.
Commence pruning the tree from
the top and finish at the bottom.
Make every cut as close and parallel
to the trunk as possible.
Your saw must be well set and sharp
in order to make the cut perfectly
smooth.
Leave no stubs, dead and dying
wood or fungus covered branches be-
hind you.
Do not fail to cover every wound
with coal tar, not allowing it needless
ly to run down the trunk.
Do not remove several large branch
es on one tree at time. They must be
removed gradually, the work extend
ing over several seasons.
Prevent tearing the bark off the tree
in removing large limbs by first max
ing an ''undercut."
Make the cuts on a slant. Some
trees, like the elm, sycamore, linden
and willow, will stand the process of
heading back" more than others, and
the poplar is a tree that must be cut
back every few years to keep its crown
from becoming too tall and unsafe.
When you shorten a branch leave a
few twigs at the end in order to draw
the sap to the freshly cut wound and
thus enable the growing layer under
the bark to heal it over.
In trimming small branches or
shoots the cut must be made just above
bud.
When several branches come out
from the trunk in a whorl they should
not all be cut away at the same time
lest the tree be girdled. This arrange
| ment of branches occurs most fire.

The Color of Metals.

Various facts In support of the the
DRY that all metals are naturally Of
the color Of silver are given by DR.. L.
Martiouchek in a Russian chemical
Journal. The yellow tint OF certain
metals. such as calcium. has been
found to be due to the presence Of
traces Of impurities. the pure metal
being silvery white. Heine has also
shown that when copper is specially
purified IT becomes of paler tint, the
red color being apparently the result
OF oxidation caused by the presence of
lead oxide.

HINTS ON TREE PRUNING.

American Forestry Association Gives
Out Some Timely Instructions.
September is the month for pruning
trees. Through its official organ, the
American Forestry Magazine, the
American Forestry association issues
the following instructions:
Always use a pole saw and pole
shears on the tips of long branches,
and use the pole hook in removing
dead branches of the ailanthus and
other brittle trees where it would be
too dangerous to reach them other

Do not "head back or cut off the
top of a tree except where the tree is
old and failing, and then under spe-
cial instructions.

LONDON. Aug. 5.-The first news
of the fall of Warsaw was received in
London this afternoon in a message
transmitted by wireless from Berlin.
It stated that official announcement
had been made in Berlin of the capture
of Warsaw by the Germans.
Warsaw's fall, announced officially
from Berlin is considered so certain
that it's fate has ceased to be mat
ter Of speculation while the vast
turning movement of the Germans to
the northward of the Polish city is
exciting the concern Of the entente
allies. 1t is feared by observers here
that the evacuation of Warsaw may
be too late to save the armies of the
Grand Duke Nicholas from grave dis
aster, which will be inevitable if Field
Marshall Won Hindenberg should gel
across the Warsaw-Petrograd rail
way.
In the north the Russians are now
defending the line of the River Ekau
east of Mitau. This means that the
Germans are at point 40 miles south
of Riga. The critical situation at Rigs
is evidenced by the evacuation of tht

noncomitary elements Of the popula-
tion. The banks have been the last to
leave.
The German cavalry forces are
securing the country in such numbers
that the Warsaw and Petrograd rail-
way line is always in danger of being
cut.
At Kupisch, 70 miles west of
Dvniak, heavy fighting is in progress
with the Russians resisting stubborn
ly, as the breaking of the defense
there would mean the loss of Dvinak,
the most important junction of the
Warsaw-Petrograd railroad.
Desperate battles still prevail along
the Narew river with the Germans
meeting the stone wall of the Russian
defense, except at point near Ostro-
lenka, where they forded the river and
captured several thousand prisoners
and forced the Russians back to the
outer defenses on the northern front
of the fortress of Lomza. Berlin re-
ports that the Germans have occupied
