VINE ALWAYS A BEAUTiFlER
Harshness of Architecture Relieved by
Soft Folds and Twinings De-
signed by Nature.

A house very often reminds one of
huge box set down in the midst Of
a landscape with which it is wholly
out Of harmony. To overcome the eff
feet Of its rising too abruptly from the
site, one should plant shrubs about the
foundation, to fill in the hard angle
between ground and walls. To tie the
house to the ground, in effect, TO Gov
er the corners and other straight lines,
thereby relieving the architecture Of
its harshness, softening and harmon
izing all, this is the mission of the
vine-nature's mantle of perfection
hiding the huge piles of ugliness rear
ed by man, and which he has deiuded
himself into believing are master
pieces of art. Very few are, however.
masterpieces in the eyes of those who
know, and the vine, like the mantle of
charity, covers a multitude of sins.

EVERYTHING IN THE PLANTING
Trees Designed to Grace Streets Must
Be Put Down With the Utmost
Attention to Detail.

Now that street planting season Is
at hand 1t is pertinent to put forth our
annual warning about hasty and care
less planting Of street trees. Owing
to the narrOWness of the parkWays.
street trees do not have one-fourth the
chance of growth and development
found in the open field, and therefore
most excellent preparations should be
made. Dig all holes for trees both
large and deep-it matters little how
large-all trees will thrive better with
increased size of hole. Nature has
been compacting the soil for millions
OF years; after being dug up it will
take many years to again become as
hard as before even though no fer
tlllzer or other subject, is mixed with
the soil before replacing in the hole,
Well-rotted stable manure is always
good material to mix with the soil
whether the latter be light or heavy
IN texture. The nearer either ex-
treme it comes, the greater such need.
henll the hole, settle with water and
IN a few days or week plant your
tree. During a street tree convention
the veteran J. H. Reed said: IF l had
dollar to spend for a tree, | would
rather put 10 cent tree in a 90-cent
hole than 90-cent tree in a 10-cent
hole

NEED FOR INDIVIDUAL WORK
Civic Organizations Have Great Part
to Perform in Creating a City
Beautiful.

A great part of the task of bringing
back the country into the town must
necessarily be done by local pub
lie authority. To influence them to
do the work courageously needs the
formation Of strong and sound pub
lie opinion. We. have to create an
enlightened sentiment, which will give
Iull weight to the value of human
health and happiness After all.
man is worth more than a bank vault
The making Of good and healthy men
and women is the first consideration
OF all
But public authorities alone must
not be relied upon to do the work
The machinery Of governments is too
slow, complicated, and heavy to do all
that is required in the best way. We
need also the inspiring effect of indi-
vldual work in voluntary organiza-
t1ons. These pioneer the way long
ahead OF the possible action of pub
lie authorities. They find out what
Is wanted to be done and how to do
it. They educate all of us who take
any part III the work, however small
the part may be. They create the very
public opinion we need in order to
bring about in our cities full reunion
OF country delights with town ad-
vantages

Little Doubt About That.

A man who was called upon to testi-

yards handled in some rock-removine
in the vicinity, showed very little
knowledge of the matter, his idea of a
cubic yard being SO indefinite that it
was suspected he hardly comprehend

understanding the judge said:

MAKING OCEAN TRAVEL SAFE
Eleven British Vessels Are Con
stantly Engaged in Detecting
Seacoast Changes.

Few people realize how useless
every ship on the sea, from a dread
naught to tramp steamer, would be
but for the labor of the chartmaker.
II coasts and seas were unmapped,
disasters would be continually over
taking oceangoing ships, for sub
merged rocks, shoals, sea currents
and many other similar menaces to the
mariner could not be located.
Every nation possessing a cOastline
retains special vessels for the pur-
pose of sea surveying, equipped with
carefully trained staff. Great Brit
ain has about eleven ships engaged
in such work both in home waters and
In foreign seas, and nearly thousand
men are employed says London Tit
Bits. The sea-surveying vessels voy-
age round the coastline making fre-
quent soundings, and especially watch
ing for any dangerous change in the
shape of the sea bottom. For the lat
ter is continually shifting as tides and
currents collect sand at one point and
deposit it at another, while the ac-
tiOn of the waves is continually
changing the contour of our coast
line.
The speed with which the chart
makers work can be gagged from the
fact that in Cne year British hy-
drOgraphers surveyed PIP miles Of
cOastline and sounded 2,S19 square
miles of ocean in the same period
Whenever possible, sea captains lend
a helping hand to the chartmakers by
recording the presence of any unre-
corded rock or shoal which they may
observe during their voyage The sea
surveyors then investigate the marin
er's story, and this often means voy-
ages at moments notice to distant
parts of the globe. Such expeditions
are hastily carried out, for if unchart-
ed rocks lurk near shipping lanes they
can cause grave disaster if not located
Immediately. On one occasion a
large granite rock for five years stood
eight feet below the water close to a
crowded shipping route, which no
chart recorded, until it was accident
ally discovered

THE DAY OF ATONEMENT

The Day of Atonement or "Yom Kippur," the tenth day of the month of Tishri, begins at sunset Friday Oc- tober. 6 and ends at sunset. Saturday, October '. The thought underlying the day is expressed in the scriptural words "On this day He will atone for you, to purify you from all your sins" It is a day, therefore, of reconciliation of man with his fellow man and with God, and comes as a climax to the Holiday season which began Wednes- day evening, September 27 with the New Years Day and continued through the ten days of penitence. On New Years Day of Judgment of ordinary people, who had been neither completely righteous nor ut terly sinful was left undecided and the opportunity was given them for re- pentance; now the Day of Atonement provides all men with the possibility of returning to their God and of find- ing reconciliation with Him through prayer.
 The Day is the most solemn of all days in the Jewish calendar. It is passed in fasting and prayer The

 BANKERS BELIEF
Deposits in Bridgeport Have Increased 50 Per Cent.
 Within Year. i

'sThe prosperity of Bridgeport and the country is staggering" said Ham ilton S. Shelton, president of the Con- necticut National Bank, when com menting upon the figures of the last statement of National banks in this city last month.
 Statements of the national banks of this city disclose that during the past year their deposits have increased more than 50 per cent. of what they previously showed, with no end to the boom in sight.
 The First Bridgeport National Bank statement issued Sept. 12, discloses that since June 30 the deposits have increased from $7.SS4,41S to $9,516.- 541 or considerably more than mill lion and a half dollars in "A days.
 A steady stream of money is flow ing into all the Bridgeport national and savingsi banks. Recent reports of the savings institutions show that never in the history of the city has the increase in profits from business ventures and savings in the big deposi- tories been so marked.
 Bank statements of November 1915, issued by the National banks show that there is no bank in this city which has not increased it's de- posits more than one million dol lars.
 |, So filled are the treasuries in this city known to be that experts in bank. ing declare that if the date of termin. ation of the war were known money would loan at four per cent. in this city.

whole day is spent in the synagog. In. the evening there is the service which commences with the chanting of the well-known Kol Nidre prayer. The day proper has four services. Of these the Mussaf or additional service contains a description of the atone ment rites as practiced in the ancient days in the Temple at Jerusalem; and the Neilah service is understood to be held at the time when decision is finally made as to mans fate, and thus the Neilah prayers instead of having the usual phrase, ''Inscribe us in the book of life," uses the ex- pression: Seal us in the book of life"
 According to Jewish tradition ex- pressed in an ancient law-book, the Day of Atonement, when spent in praying and repenting, will bring par don for sins between man and God; but as for the sins committed by man against his fellow man the Day can not bring pardon until he has ap- peased his fellow man. This idea is the basis of the effort always made before the Day of Atonement to bring peace between<euch friends who have become estranged and are on un- friendly terms with one another; and in this way, the Day will put the wor- shipper at peace not only with his Maker, but also with his fellow man.

BOOKS.-The Jewish rabbis cling
closely to the bible, the Christian the
ologians to the gospels and the Mo-
hammedan Mullahs to the koran,
while the other creeds rely as strong
ly upon their own books, since the
books of all religions speak of the
unity of God, the Single and the On
nipotent. But these proofs upon
which they severaIly rely as a strong
argument of the existence of the
Creator and His unity, whether
drawn from their books or from rea-
son, even granting that they are of
weight and value in proving the valid
ity of their contention, do not lead,
except to the existence of an abso-
lutte or unrestricted first cause which
still remains unknown. These proofs
and evidences do not lead us to the
knowledge of God, but only to the
knowledge of the existence of God,
and merely to know about God or
that Got exists is not by any means
to know God. The difference is OBJ
vious to the people of vision and the
line of demarkation drawn between
the two degrees of knowledge is
plainly descerned by those who are
of the people of light
Because they merely knew of the
existence of God, but did not know
God, many nations have been de-
ceived and have gone astray, have
taken devils for saints and have
adored idols while stoning the pro-
phets, clear proof that devils and
idols have never at any time been
worshipped as such, but only under
the guise of God. .
