named for the vacancy which now en-
lists on the bench of the supreme
court. The president is said to be.
lieve that the senate will hardly reject
two court nominees in succession. thus
recognizing that objection will be made
to Untermeyer in almost as active a
form as in Brandeis' case. The presi-
dent, as historian, must be aware,
however. that two successive refusals
to confirm judges are not without pre-
cedent. In 1898 President Cleveland
tried in vain to put William B. Horn
blower On the supreme court and when
that nomination failed. he tried. with
equal failure. to give the place to
Wheeler H. Peckham. When the lat.

RARBORkA CAR UPSET.
J. V. Barborka and Hugo Gebeix in
Auto Accident Near Jefferson
Last Wednesday Morning.

J. V. Barborka and Hugo Gebert
met with an automobile accident last
Wednesday near Jefferson and, it is
miracle that neither one of them
was injured, although Mr.. Barborka's
fine touring car was badly damaged.
The accident occurred three miles
this side of Jefferson at about eleven
o'clock in the morning, when they
we're on their way to lndianOla to at
tend a social function at Simpson col
lege. Mr.. Barborka was driving the
machine at about a thirty mile clip
when the spindle supporting the left
front wheel broke, causing it to roll
off to one side. The front axle dug
down into the road and Mr.. Barborka
was unable to control the car. which
bumped along until it turned over on
it's side, off to one side OF the main
travelled section. 1t was fortunate in
deed that the accident did not occur
on a grade or at a turn. for doubt
less they both would have been in
jured.
The car was damaged considerably
two wheels being demolished, as well
as the glass front, tenders and hood.

Hard Proposition to Lay Out Streets
So As to Make Town More Beau.

SHOULD BE RUN BY COUNCIL
Trees Should BE Planted on Both Sides
Of Street, Thus Making a Har-
nnonious Whole, Adding Dignity

The prevailing mode of town devel-
opment for the past twenty-five years
in progressive towns has been to lay
out streets in checker board form at
right angles. Some theorists of civic
progress have advanced the idea OF
late that layout of curving streets
is more beautiful. They point to Ger
man cities that followed this plan be-
fore the war The right angled plan
they condemn as too stiff, formal and
geometrical.
In towns having hills or bluffs. curv.
ing streets are frequently needful to-
conform to the lie of the land. But
there are some practical objections
to them on level ground. They usual
ly make more steps for man and beast,
though it is true that in some instan-
ces they do cut corners. They lead
to irregular shaped lots. and promote
a more scattered development OF the
town necessitating larger expense for
street and sidewalk and sewer devel
opment.
The laying out Of streets is matter
to be strictly controlled by municipal
authorities. In the more progressive
towns it is usually so regulated. In
some Of the older and less advanced
places. there is a disposition to allow
real estate men to run streets III any
crisscross way that will produce the
most house lots. Straight streets con
meeting with each other directly a

of constructing house of much value
without a plan. If it is a house OIL
much value, they call in a first class
architect. But until within few years
most towns were content to grow with

velopment. The result is frequently
