new WAY TO WATER TREES
German City Official Seems to Have
Hit Upon Method That Should
Be Effective.

A very ingenious and practical de-
vice for assuring the trees on city
sidewalks a sufficient supply of wa
ter, no matter how dry the season and
how hard baked the earth, has been
put in operation in S%trassburg by Mr.,
Sauer, the city tree inspector. 1t con.
sists Of a tube of iron or lead bent
into the form Of a ring large enough
to encircle the stem of the tree.
The earth is removed so that this
ring may be placed just above the
roots, and is then filled in again, leav-
ing the end of a pipe connecting with
the ring projecting above the surface
of the ground. The top Of the ring
is pierced with a large number Of
small holes, and a tin cover or shield
prevents these from becoming
stopped up with earth.
BY mean Of a funnel in the pro-
truding end Of the pipe any desired
amount OF water may be supplied to
the roots without waste or loss of
time. A further advantage, according
to Prometheus, Is the ventilation thus
secured Of the earth in the vicinity
Of the roots.

A visitor to a mandatory saw a man

all the molding was done by hand, he

There is no tool that can do this

About a year ago certain owners Of
real estate in Baltimore decided to
create small parks in the rear Of their
houses by tearing down division
fences, and laying out the lots on each
side Of the midway alley on a definite
ly arranged and uniform scheme Of
landscape gardening. In many blocks
the fences were replaced by a continu-
GUS flower garden. Hundreds of house
owners have co-operated In this inter.
esting effort to beautify what were for
merly bare and forbidding wastes, and
the city forester has given them ev-
cry assistance. Many other cities
might well emulate this example. -

date, and in spite Of the increasing
Importance of its manufacturing es-
adjustments the city is still best
known for the immense horticultural
establishments found there. Erfurt is
appropriately called the "Blumen-

most 3 per cent Of the population is
engaged in commercial horticulture.
While vegetables and flowers for sale
are grown on a large scale, Of much
vaster proportions is the business in
flower and vegetable seed. The larger
Erfurt seed firms ship to almost all
parts of the world, the United States
importing larger quantities of Erfurt

WAR ON PUBLIC NUISANCES
American Civic Association Condemns
Smoke, Poles and Wires, and Bill.
boards az Among Them.

From its very institution. the Amer
lean Civic association has devoted It.
self to the protection Of the public
against three great nuisances-smoke,
poles and wires and billboards. At the
annual convention Of the association
In Washington one Of the important
subjects discussed was billboards.
with a principal address, entitled "The
Passing Of the Signboard," by Jesse
Lee Bennett Of Baltimore, in which he
recounted the steps that had been
taken for the legal control of the bill.
board in all parts of the United
States.
Concerning the sentiment against
the billboard, Mr., Bennett said "The
feeling against the ~signboard has DO
come nationwide, and in the last few
years the agitation of civic organiza
ton has been so successful as to
awaken resentment against it so
widespread that from coast to coast,
and in almost every state and city,
there are now, or have been, vigorous
movements seeking the abolition or
regulation of these unnecessary and
disfiguring objects.
There has been much agitation, and
from it there has been distilled one
thing-the recognition Of the fact
that what is called the signboard
problem is a question more complex
than the mere removal of the signs.
The signboard has been found to be in
extricably intertwined with two ques'
tons of even greater importance-the
awakening of civic sentiment and the
recognition by legislators and judges
Of the validity of arguments based
upon esthetic considerations"
Commenting on what ought to be
the attitude Of the law and the courts
toward the billboard he added:
1T would take u psychologist but
a few minutes to show that it is not
a question of ear or nose or eye, but a
question of the brain and Of the very
consciousness that Is life itself. No
law should permit any man to intrude
or force himself or his business into
another mans consciousness to the
extent that outdoor advertising has
come to permit, an intrusion immedi.
ately increased by the fact that it is
impossible to avoid seeing sign
boards"
