Austin, Mimi, with a population Of

a little western town. Five divisions

there for repair shop facilities. 1t
has a large packing house, its own
electric light and water works, worth
$500, 600; a good-sized cement plant,
brick and tile works, etc. But this
prosperous community is especially
notable for its city beautiful" idea.
Not content with it's parks of forty-fve,
fifteen and five acres, it has estab-
ished a floral decorative scheme. The
well-paved streets are arranged on q
floral plan. The wide parkings of one
street arc beautiful at one season
with a profusion of the wild crab trees
bloom; another presents a ribbon of
color from geraniums; another street
presents a line of catalpas, snowy with
blossoms, and so on. The workmen
at the shops and railroad station at
their own expense annually employ a
landscape gardener, and the bare,
dusty patches of waste ground there
abouts have been transformed. Spires,
phlox, lilies of all kinds and Towering
shrubbery, as well as ANNALS, r
used.

PAYS TO SAVE THE TREES
They Add to Attractiveness and COM
fort of Home, Is Declaration
Of Writer.

It is a rare case when we cannot
give the following admonition, says a
writer in the Minneapolis Journal.
Save all the trees possible on your
land. If a tree insists on standing in
the way when you are building a road,
let your road take a way around. Even
a tree left standing at the side Of a
road or in the sidewalk may add pic
-turesqueness to the land, which in
itself in an attraction to buyers.
If the land bordering the road in a
residential tract is thickly wooded,
trees may not be needed in the plant
ing strip. Indeed, leaving all planting
out of the street tends materially to
widening its appearance. 1t is I'M
usually, however, a good idea to plan
for street trees. Their presence makes
for GOODNESS and comfort and the gen.
eral attractiveness of the region.
Forty feet apart is the best distance
for street trees and a safe one to fol-
low. Planting at closer distance gives
the trees scant room for mature de-
velopment. 1t is also more expensive
for the real estate man.. Trees may be
planted opposite each other, if the
distance between trees on opposite
sides of the street is forty feet. Should
the distance be less, the trees had best
be "staggered'-that is, placed alter
uately.

TOWN.
10 HELPS
CONTROL OF STREET TREES
Municipal Oversight Imperative 10
Conclusion Arrived At by Stu
dent Of the Subject.

After many years. study Of the
street-tree problem, digesting reports
from the principal cities in this
try, viewing such work done in Cali
fornia, one can form but one opinion
as to how the work may be properly
instituted and prosecuted. No salts
factory permanent improvement In
street planting may be done except I'M
der direct and strict municipal con-
troll.
But very few property owners are
competent to choose the right tree for
a specific street, and not one such
may live in your block or in your
street. 1t is all a question of fitness,
OF which its natural ability to thrive
under the hard conditions prevailing
in city streets is by far the most i'm
portant point. Then m longevity,
for a tree should stand for centuries.
Even after the right tree is planted
1t must have intelligent care bestowed,
and all trees on one street should be
watered and pruned alike, set at the
same distance apart and given the
same general care, the latter consist
ing of ~numberless little things that
make an important factor as a whole.
Even the control of insect and other
pests becomes a serious matter early
in the life Of any tree. Individual
property owners are possessed of too
great a variety of tastes, interests
ideas of responsibility and degrees of
hanging on to the purse strings ever
to make unorganized effort more than
a failure or even organized effort much
of a success.-Los Angeles Times.

FITTING UP THE BATHROOM
Some of the Requisites That Must
Find a Place in the Modern
Establishment.

In the days of the old tin tub almos,
anything in the way of a towel was
good enough. so long as it was free
from holes. The advent of sanitary
plumbing, the white enamel tub and
basin, the tile or tile-effect walls and
the nickel and glass fixtures have
made the u%p-to-date bathroom a differ
ent proposition. For instance, utility
is no longer the sole standard by
which the bathroom linens are judged
They must also harmonic with the
enamel and glass fittings. AS a result
housewives now buy their towels in
sets in white, with an initial or mono
gram in color. Many towel sets are
bought in plain or fancy material with.
out a monogram, which is worked by
the housewife herself.
Bathroom sets of terry cloth are
composed of two bath towels, a bath
mat, and two face cloths, all with a
plain or fancy border and an initial or
monogram.
jacquard figured bath towels are
new and attractive. They have a deep
pink or blue border and the hem is
daintily embroidered in color. The
edge is finished with a deep border or
crochet of white and color. Turkish
and buck towels are almost always
embroidered in color and finished with
a scalloped or crocheted edge.

A tramp who drifted into Elkhart

over a clever deal in a crowded street
in the business district, until the po-
lice got wise and locked him up for

Pat noticed a woman in modest at
tire and timid demeanor as she stood
holding her baby in front Of a barber
shop, waiting till her husband got
shaved. Pat took up his station about
thirty feet away from her.

Looking through the sight, it seems

for the shell to travel to the range
Of the plane. The gunner must wait
for its burst before he can spot his

and a half a minute. Divide that by
thirty, and you have about a hundred

"Close!" Within thirty or forty
yards, the telescope says. But at that
range the naked eye is easily deceived
about distances. Probably some OF
the bullets have cut his plane. But
you must hit the man or the machine
in a vital spot in order to bring down
your bird. A British aviator the 9th.

hit his coat, its force spent, and rolled
into his lap. The explosions must be
very close to count. 1t is amazing
how much shell fire an %aeroplane can
stand. Aviators are accustomed to
the whiz of shell fragments and bull
lets and to have their planes pune
tured and ripped. Though their en-
gines are put out OF commission, and
frequently though wounded, they are
able to volplane back to the cover OF
their own lines.

Fights In the Air Rare.
A fight between planes in the air
very rarely happens, except in the i'm

fight other planes, but for observation.
Their business is t. see and learn.

The other day, in the communicate

support trenches, British shells were
screaming overhead into the German
trenches. Four or five thousand feet
up were two British planes, with a
swarm of puffs from German shells
around them. Two or three thousand
feet higher was a German plane. They
maintained their relative attitudes and
kept on with their work, each spot

the levying of this tribute has been

once powerful and highly civilized
race of people that inhabited ages ago
what is now southeastern Mexico.
The ruins of the former civilization
are scattered through the dense trop-
ical forests of Quintana Roo, Yucatan
and Campeche. They consist of large
cities, monuments, temples and a va
riety Of other interesting works of a
race that is nov almost extinct. The
Mayas have never submitted to Span

are still carrying on a guerilla fight
against the Mexican settlers who have
encroached upon their inhabited do

Always Friendly to Americans.
The people of Yucatan have always
been friendly to Americans. They have
a great admiration for the United
States. In fact, this liking was so
great that the government authorities
there about 1S48 during the war be-
tween Mexico and the United States,
made a formal offer that Yucatan be
taken over by the latter country.
This offer was refused by the govern
ment at Washington. Bordering the
then state of Yucatan on the south
was British Honduras. When the pro-
posed annexation to the United States
was refused a proposition was made
to the British government that it
take over the state and add it to Brit
ish Honduras. This plan also met
with failure.
Politically speaking, the people of
Yucatan have never been in sympathy
with that part of Mexico which lies to
the north of the Isthmus of Tehuante-
pee. Even during the long reign of
President Diaz there was at all times
a strong undercurrent of ill-feeling to-
wards the federal administration or
the part of the people there. 1t was
the existence of the opposition that
