Kills Hens With a Gun.

Oakley has housewife, according
to the Graphic, who, when she wants
to kill a chicken, disdains to chop off
it's head or wiring it's neck. Instead,
she shoots it in the head with rifle,
and has never missed one yet. The
Graphic, however, suppresses the name
of the hero who holds the chicken
while she shoots.--Kansas City Star.

MODEL WoRKMEN'S TOWN.
Goodyear Tract Has Been Included In
the City of Akron.

Goodyear Tract Has Been Included In
the City of Akron.
So successful has been the home
building plan for employees of the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber company
that the city of Akron, o., recently
included the whole Goodyear tract in
an annexation ordinance that has
recently been passed, and Goodyear
Heights is now part of the city.
The plan was stared three years
ago by President F. A. Seiberling.
who felt that many Of the 10000
workmen desired to become home
owners, but were barred by the
"down payments" necessary in the
usual real estate deal. Thereupon
100 acres of land were purchased
close to the plant, the ground was
allotted, streets laid out, paved, sew
cred, etc.; water, gas and electric
light provided for and homes built
and sold to workmen on the basis Of
rent, no down payment being neces-
sary.
Most Of the commonplace features
of allotment development have been
eliminated. There are no rows of
houses all alike. Each is real home,
with architectural individuality
brick and stucco prevailing as to ma
terlal.
A small lake partly within the
property has made it possible to ar
range a fine pleasure ground, with
tennis courts, football and baseball
fields, swimming and skating facili-
ties and restful parks. Goodyear
Heights already has a population
close to 1000 people, with school,
church, stores and all the rest Of the
usual community trimmings. The
tract is one of the show places of the
city, and its fame has spread so that
manufacturers from many parts Of
the country have made detailed in
quiries, with a view to the possibility
Of adopting, in whole or part, similar
housing plans.

has been passed without adequate
study Of the real needs of the public
and from a restrictive rather than a
constructive point of view. The public
agencies in charge of recreation work
have worked Independently and with
no common goal.
For children Mr.. Richards suggests
that the city should be districted and
that the city government should pro-
vide a play leader for each district
The duty Of the play leader would be
to help ali children who play in the
street, to direct their play in the most
beneficial channels and to guide them
when there is opportunity to the near
est public recreation centers. He
points out that even where there are
recreation centers children may be
found playing in the streets near by,
particularly at hours when their par
ents have warned them not to get be-
y0nd calling distance" from their
homes. 1t is for this reason that the
street leader is needed.
In speaking Of the need Of play for
adults, the writer quotes Spencer in
saying: 1--WE stop playing not because
we grow old. We grow old because we
stop playing"

BEAUTIFUL:
BEAUTIFY GATUN LOCKS
AND ALSO THE VILLAGE.
Zone Authorities Devotlng Attention To
ornamentina Canal and Village.

The identifying Of Gatun locks and
the village of Gatun has been started
by the canal zone authorities. This is
the first step in making any Of the
work of the canal assume its perma-
nent aspect from an artistic view
point.
The first work is concerned. with
the removal Of the superauous track
age needed while the work Of con-
struction was in progress. 1t will be
necessary to leave some Of this, but it
will be so rebuilt that it will not in
terfere with the beauty of the gen.
eral effect. The track removal will
give wide and level lawn which
will not be broken up either with
buildings or flower beds.
Already all temporary structures
needed for construction purposes
have been removed and their former
sites converted into lawns. The huge
cranes and cableways that we're used
for conveying concrete from the mix
ers to the lock walls and floors are
being removed. The lock walls have
been cleared Of all unnecessary ma
terial.
The village Of Gatun, which will
house the lock operating force and
such military establishment as is
needed to guard the locks, will be
greatly beautified through the addi-
ton Of many trees and ornamental
shrubs. Additional roadways and
pathways will be built. A new club
house is to be constructed, the old
one being in such bad repair that 1t
would not pay to repair 1t.

THE CITY
CITY TREES AS
REWARDS OF MERIT.
Woman's Municipal League Of New
York City Makes Novel Suggestion.

CHOW many trees will your street
earn?" says a pamphlet recently is
sued by the Woman's Municipal
league of New York city, giving the
report of the committee on streets
and transit of the league. The report
says:
1.-THE committee on streets and trans
it has decided to take up one street
in each district and try to make it a
model street. A paid inspector, en-
ployed by the committee, has already
begun on East Seventy-ninth street
to visit the janitors in order to inter-
est them in keeping their garbage
cans covered, not to overfill the cans
and to sweep their sidewalks. 1t has
been suggested that the house keep
ing its walk the tidiest should re-
ceive a tree as a reward Of merit
either a large tree planted perna-
nently in front Of the house or a
small lockwood tree for the front
door. We think that a street which
has been beautified is likely to be
kept more clearly. The department
of parks and the department of street
cleaning are both very much inter
ested in the scheme, and both wish
to cooperate with us. The park de-
partment has no money to plant
trees, and the league must therefore
raise the money for this purpose.

Play and outdoor exercise are as nee
essary to the modern city dweller as is
education, according to j. r. Richards,
the Chicago superintendent of recrea-
ton. In a paper on the subject, pre-
pared for the current issue of the
American City, Mr.. Richards urges
that it is as much a duty of the gov
eminent to provide facilities for both
children and adults to play in and
about cities as to provide adequate edu-
cational facilities.
American cities have approached the
play problem in too haphazard fash
