About as go " t6tud5 human nature is when you are driving on the public road, If a man is willing to observe the laws and the courtesies of the road. he will duly give his share of it when meeting another, ard shows he is willing to do tie gentlemanly thing about it. But when you meet one who takes every advantage of those he meets, and holds the road for his own selfish self. often to ssthe great discomfort of those he meets, or will not allow them to pass, we are almost sure to think of pork in connection with such drivers of teams.

For National Park Service

A bill is under consideration in congress to
establish a national park service. The federal
government owns fourteen national parks, with
der the Jurisdiction of the department of the in
terror. 1t also owns thirty-one national monu-
ments, of which nineteen are in the department
of the interior, ten in the department of agricul.
ture and two in the war department. Under ex-
listing arrangements there has been no central
organization for the administration of these
splendid recreational possessions. Each of the
fourteen national parks is now under separate
management. 1t is very desirable that these
parks be administered through a general bureau
at the seat of government in Washington.
There is a constantly increasing volume of
travel to the national parks, and it is necessary
that there should be one central organization
which may furnish reliable information attrac-
lively prepared for the benefit of tourists to the
parks. Under the existing order of things very
little systematic work in this direction has been
possible. With a national park service, equipped
with facilities and a competent corps of workers,
there might be developed a fine bureau of in
formation, supplying to the general public the
things it wants to know about it's parks and
monuments. 1t is TO be noted in this connection
that Canada, through its department of parks,
has so thoroughly exploited its several national
parks that during the season of 1915, when there
was such a large volume of travel through the
West, the Canadian parks attracted in the aggre.
gate more visitors than the parks of the United
States, thus a~fording a fine illustration Of what
the government in exploitation of it's recrea.
tional areas can do.

FAULT IN CITY PLANNING
Standardization Of Streets Can Be Car
ried to Excess, as California Jour-
nalist Points Out.

One Of the greatest follies practiced
in modern city-building, particularly
where the topography is broken in
character, lies in Standardization Of
streets, more especially regarding the
width, says the Los Angeles Times.
The writer lives on a cross street."
that is, one crossing at right angles a
main thoroughfare - Avenue Sixty
four-that carries al least several
hundred times as much traffic as the
one first noted, yet the widths of the
two are the same. The one is three
blocks long, blind at each end, hav-
ing no possibility of a direct outlet
at either extremity. The other is the
main highway from Los Angeles to
Pasadena by way of Colorado street,
and to Eagle Rock by the same feed
err
There is no question but a greater
width is needed on Avenue Sixty-four,
as is the case with scores of streets
similarly situated. It is equally GER
tain that the crossing streets are
twice as wide as need be. The miser-
able parkways are but AZ inches wide,
an area so restricted that good street
tree growth is impossible. Every
property owner with whom the writer
has talked on the subject would be
pleased to have several feet on each
side added to the parkway, yet major
ity does not rule, even in Los Angeles.
No traffic Is seen on such streets ex-
cept the daily routine of the milk
man, baker and vegetable peddler.
Yet the width is the same as that Of
the one great highway running
through the district.
The case cited is used merely be-
cause the writer has intimate personal
acquaintance with it, having resided
on this specific street for ten years.
No personal grievance inspired this
article, for the residents on the street
have never sought to have it changed.
All concede a widening of parkings,
with a correspondingly narrower
driveway, would make a more beauti-
full street, give it a more pleasant as
pect, allow Of fine parkway gardening,
etc. But did they know that when the
street is to be paved the cost Of the
useless strips of width in paving
would pay for the change and new
curbs, they might petition the prop
| er officials to make such change. AS
| all streets are of the same width, and
all at right angles as well, the plan
ming and plating of such districts may
safely be turned over to our children.
And some of the latter would be bet
ter than their parents,

How to Keep a CITY Clean.

To make a city cleaner and neater
and to substitute beauty for ugliness
is to enhance the value of both pub
lie and private property. AS to pub
lie property, this work can be easily
controlled. But the city authorities
can be expected to act only on the in
sistence of the general public. I'm
fortunately, however, no matter how
careful a city may be about structures
erected on public property, the gen.
eral effect of street and open places
may be spoiled by ugliness in sur
rounding structures and private prop
erty. B~illboards, signs, ugly, garish
or unkempt buildings, buildings out of
repair, untidy yards and vacant lots
all may counterfeit whatever the city
may do to make public property at
tractive. The only way to keep the
city neat and to make it look as
though it were really self-respecting
is for all citizens to cooperate in In
sisting On private as well as public
neatness and attention to good design.

The Reason We Forget

Let me see, what was that name?"
Haven't we often heard that phrase, or one
very like 1t? Doesn't our memory often play
us tricks and cause us to forget things we know
perfectly well-"as we'll as | know my own name"
in fact? There is a reason for this; for nearly
every case of loss of memory we can find a
cause. This discovery has recently been made
and is one of the most Important advances which
psychology has made in the understanding of
our mental life.
Forgetting, OF course, in one sense, is loss of
memory. How. first of all. do we remember
things?
1t has been assumed by Psychologists that ev-
cry event we experience leaves it's trace in the
nervous substance of the brain, in much the same
way that a trace" is left upon the Photographic
record by the scratch of the recording needle: II
the impression is "vivid"-that is, if it leaves a
we remember it; if not, we forget it.. AS the
brain disintegrates with age, the memories be-
come weak. This is the doctrine usually as
sumed for the storage of our memories.
But psychologists have lately complained
against this materialistic view Of the facts. OF
late years Professor Henri Bergson, in particular,
has protested that such an explanation does not
explain. We believe that memory is a mental
thing, not a material one. To be sure, there was
always the difficulty, in accounting for memory,
that the brain cells, which are constantly being
replaced, would eliminate the contained memo
ries, just as new wax cylinders would efface the
record, but scientific men got round" this by as
Stunning that the new cell as it was deposited
somehow Inherited" the traces of the previous
one and thus retained the memory. There was
no evidence that it actually did so, but it was las.

provided with extensive and we'll equipped work
shops by a factory owner of the same city, Herr
Emil Jagenberg, who is the inventor of an i'm
proved artificial arm, which not only increases
the capacity and working efficiency of injured
soldiers, but also very materially increases the
output of artificial limbs. The construction of
this artificial arm is of steel and weighs but one
and three-quarter pounds.
Immediately below the stump is a b~all-joint
of steel arranged so that it can be clamped and
adjusted in any desired position. Another bali
Joint similarly arranged is at the wrist. The
lower fitting is so short as to allow considerable
force to be brought to bear on the work, while
its mobility and adjustability enable the attach
ment to be used for an endless variety of pur-
poses, even in case the whole arm up to the
shoulder should be amputated, the patient will
still be able to perform a great range of opera
lions. After the days task is completed this
working arm" is detached and replaced by a
regular pleasure Sunday arm
The patients at these hospitals are not long
in recovering their self-confdence and their work
ing capacity increases daily. No patients are
discharged until a suitable position has been OBJ
tanned for them where they will be able to per-
form their duties in a satisfactory and proficient
manner, which greatly increases the assurance
of the patients and makes them self-supporting.

Bransome felt that the question was
like an unwritten doom. He looked
at Mary Starr in the moonlight as they
stood outside Colonel Starts conserv-
atory.
Bransome had known Mary for five
months. Colonel Starr, in whose regi-
ment he vas now a captain, had taken
a liking to the young man when they
were posted in Malta, and had invited
him to his home in England. Now
Bransome, with the acting rank OF
major, was to leave for West Africa
to put down the rebellion Of the Kru
tribe in the recesses of the forests.
And he loved Mary.
But he knew that she was engaged

among the Krus, who had made his
escape to the coast after sanguinary
fighting.

"Yes?" Her word was like a ca.
ress.
What shall l tell him?"

Economy In Fireproof Qualities.

While fireproof qualities and perma-
nence of materials are items appar-
emily increasing the cost of the new
house, the home-builder will find in
the end that economy lies in these
qualities; and applying the old adage
of the chain, his house will be as last
ing as it's weakest part.
Hence the ratio between the life of
different materials should be consid-
cred and permanence in the walls of q
building should be duplicated in its
foundations and roof. AS for instance:
a house of brick to be consistently
permanent, requires concrete or stone
foundation, and a slate roof.
The depreciation of a house of this
type is said to be about / per cent q
year, reckoning its life to be 100
years.
But the permanency of materials ie
not restricted to brick alone, and that
frame houses can be constructed to
last 100 years, though not immune OF
curse from the accident Of fire, is typ
flied in the numerous frame houses Of
historical interest standing in a state
of good preservation throughout the
country.
Among these are the old Cushing
house at Higham, Mass, built in the
early part of the eighteenth century;
the Wadsworth house in Cambridge,
built in 1928, and the Fairbanks house
in Dedham, probably the oldest house
in America, built about 1886.
White pine was used extensively M
these houses, which fact is testimony
to the lasting qualities of that wood.

terialistic view found support in the fact that
practically none of our memories is ever lost,
but all can be removed under suitable conditions
and by proper means. Our memory is potentially
almost perfect.
We should all strive to improve the memory as
much as possible, for upon it our very personality
depends. If we had no memory we could have no
feeling of "self'-no feeling that we are the sam
self we were yesterday. And if we did not have
this feeling we should be lower than the ami
mails" We may improve the memory by paying
strict attention to what is being said or done, and
things as possible which have interest for us, for
of memory" The more we forget the more we
the better it becomes. Like all else, it improves
with practice and habit.
Forgetting is at times very awkward; it leads
us into all sorts of social inconvenience. We
forget a name, an address, a word when we wish
most to remember IL, These acts of ~forgetful-
ness seem at first perfectly erratic and spontane-
GUS; they seem to follow no law and be subject
to no fixed rule.
So, then. when we forget a name or thing-or
by some error of speech or writing give another
word for the right one-we can nearly always
lind out why this should be so and uncover the
actual process involved by a careful analysis OF
the previous trains Of thought and action. We
forget because we wish to forget. 1t is a we'll
known fact that we tend to forget unpleasant
events more readily than we do pleasant ones.
That is because of this fact-because, in one
case, the memory is repressed. and in the other
IL is not.
