nave greater Toreslgnu. just recently
one hundred and eighty-two school
banks were organized in Detroit In
the campaign in New York City they
are aiming to establish one hundred
new school banks by the first of May.
Through the New York Mail" an at
tempt is being made to raise fifty thou
sand dimes for the school children;
that is, a dime will be given to each
child as soon as he accumulates his
first ninety cents in the new banks.
Under the system known as the
Brooklyn Plan" originated by A. N.
Clark, who is the chairman of the Cen
tennial Committee for the Extension
Of School Savings in New York City,
the children operate the bank them
selves under the supervision of one of
the teachers who is also the treasurer
of the bank. Each child in the eighth
year class takes his turn at filing vari-
Gus positions in the bank from messen-
ger to President They have Board
of Directors composed of twenty-four
children, who meet regularly and dis
cuss the affairs of the bank. At the
end of the school year and when these
eighth year pupils graduate, in addi-
ton to the diploma of graduation they
are given a certificate showing that
they have filed the various positions
in the school bank. The pupils use
these certificates as recommendations
to secure positions.
There is no doubt that this thrift
campaign will create a new interest in
thrift, a new understanding of the sub
ject There will not be as much ex-
travagance and waste. The people will
live within their incomes and not mort
gage everything they own.

THE WAY TO PLAN YOUR HOME
Each Room Should Have Favorable
Exposure-Here's How to Make
Things Comfortable.

No more important question con-
fronts the homebuilder than the ex-
posture of the rooms in his prospec-
tive home, for no matter how charm
ing a house may be nor how con-
venient its interior arrangement, it
cannot be entirely successful unless
each room has favorable exposure.
A living room having windows on
its east and west side may capture
both the morning and afternoon sun,
and If, in addition, it opens out on a
porch facing the south, no more salts
factory arrangement Is possible.
A porch facing the south makes a
pleasant open-air living room In warm
weather and CHEEKY, glassed-in sun
parlor In winter.
For the dining room, an easterly ex-
posure Is desirable, thus giving one a
cheerful amount of sunshine for what
is apt to be in many households the
most trying meal Of the day.
The model kitchen will have win
dows facing both north and south. This
makes for comfort in summer and adj
mits the late afternoon sun, which con-
siderably lengthens the hours of day
light.
South and west for the chambers Is
the correct exposure, with windows
racing both ways, IL possible.

Trees for the Streets.

The city forestry department Of
Cleveland, o., plans the setting out Of
about $500 trees, chiefly In the streets,
during the autumn. The use to be
made Of them has been definitely do
cided.
1t Is public Improvement which
Is especially welcome after much ex-
tremely hot weather, says the Cleve-
land Leader. Shaded streets plead
their own cause when the temperature
Is not far below blood heat or even q
little higher, at the worst hours of the
day. And In long drought, when 1t Is
almost impossible to keep lawns green
and flowers blooming, healthy trees,
fairly treated, resist the adverse
weather conditions better than any
other verdure and do more than their
share to save the streets Of cities from
the dreariness Of masonry unbroken
by natures fresh tints and unfailing
life.
Cleveland is not the Forest City,
In the sense that 1t used to be, bat
there are still hundreds of thousands
of trees inside the municipal limits
and many Of them are fine specimens
OF their kind. All that can reasonably
be done to improve these conditions
and make the streets still more shady
and attractive ought to be the con-
slant aira and care of the city gov
eminent and Of public-spirited cit-
Eens, also.

by DR.. William b. Philips, director
Of the bureau of economic geology
and technology Of the University OF
Texas, showed that twelve pounds
OF the garbage fuel bricks will
burn on an average Of two and
a half hours In small stove, az
against two hours and twenty minutes
OF the same amount Of lump bitumiD-
Gus coal, and will produce the same
amount Of heat as the latter. The
average cost Of manufacturing the fuel
ut the Austin plant is about $1.75
ton, without considering the revenue
derived by the city from the sale Of by
products, such as rags, tin cans, bottles,
brass, copper, zinc, rubber, etc.
DR.. f. M. Gum of the Massachusetts
Institute Of Technology, who recently
delivered series Of lectures on sani-
tation and garbage disposal at the
University of Texas, expressed the
opinion that the process which Mr..
Culver invented is one of the most
promising schemes so far advanced for
handling city refuse; that It appeared
to him that 1t was the best way Of
getting rid of waste and rubbish In
sanitary manner, and that the method
might work a new epoch in the garbage
and fuel problems Of the country.

TOWNS COULD SET EXAMPLES
Streets In Many Small cities Worse
Than Country Roads-Farmers
Have Better Public Spirit.

It Is high time that the rural sec
lions of America called to the towns
to mend their ways and their streets,
says a writer in the Country Gentle
man. This is our conclusion after a
recent tour of hundreds of miles
through a prosperous country. We
found highways in rural sections wei
kept and comfortable, but there was a
far different story in the small cities
and in the numerous towns and VIII
lagos through which we passed. The
main country roads were smooth boule-
wards compared with the streets In
the average town or city. In some
places where the homes were hand
some and the factories busy the streets
were full Of holes.
1t was a striking illustration Of the
greatest roads failure in America
Small cities and towns have Jagged.
A roads expert, who recently has trav-
eled over most of the country, says
the fault Is general. In the past FIVE
years the rural situation has improved
vastly, but the small city and town
showing Is sad. When you near set
Element you begin to bump.
For this the explanation Is that the
town or city has too much local in
difference. A banker said to us:"We
have two factions and each Is so busy
fighting the other that nothing is done
for the town." 1t is great pity. The
very communities that ought to be
ahead on good thoroughfares are be-
hind.
Perhaps farmers might jog them into
right action by taking their patronage
to towns and cities that provide good
streets to travel over.-Chicago News.

HER MOTHER LOVE SUPREME
Aged Woman's Pathetic Defense ~
Worthless Son a Miracle Of
Loyal Affection.

Joe had violently quarreled with a
woman, the proprietor Of the house In
which his disreputable wife lived, be-
cause she withheld from him q part
Of his wife's earnings, and in the alter
cation had killed her-a situation, one
would say, which 1t would be difficult
for even a mother to condone. But
not at all; her thin gray face worked
with emotion, her trembling hands
restlessly pulled at her shabby skirt as
the hands of the dying pluck at the
sheets, but she put all the vitality she
could muster into his defense. She
told us he had legally married the girl
who supported him, although Lily had
been so long in that life that few men
would have done it; Of course such q
girl must have protector or every
body would fleece her; poor Lily said
to the day of her death that he was
the kindest man she ever knew, and
treated her the whitest; that she her.
self was to blame for the murder be-
cause she told on the old miser, and
Joe was so hot-headed she might have
known that he would draw gun for
her." The gasping mother concluded,
HE was always that handsome and
had such way. One winter when I
was scrubbing in an Office building I'd
never get home much before twelve
o'clock, but Joe would open the door
for me just as pleasant as If he hadn't
been walked out Of o sound Sleep" She
was so triumphantly unconscious Of
the incongruity Of sturdy son In bed
while his mother earned his food, that
her auditors said never a word, and in
silence we saw q hero evolved before
our eyes; defender of the oppressed,
the best beloved Of his mother, who
was losing his high spirits dnd eating
his heart out behind prison bars. He
could well defy the world even there,
surrounded as he was by that invinci-
BILE affection which assures both the
fortunate and unfortunate alike that
we are loved, not according to our
deserts. but In response to some pro-
founder law.-Jane Adams, in the At.
lantic.

belt three feet wide and carried to u
| huge grinder which reduces 1t to
| fine pieces. From this grinder 1t
Is conveyed to pulping ma
chine, where hot water and live
steam Is applied together with GER
tain percentage Of tar, which acts In
| conjunction with the hot water and
steam as thorough disinfectant or
the product and also as deodorizer Of
the smoke of the fuel while being con-
sumed as well as deodorizer Of the
| fuel itself. The mass Is thoroughly
mixed In this machine and Is reduced
to a pulp. From this machine the
mass Is conveyed to mixer, where
coal dust is added in the desired pro-
portion, according to the purpose for
| which the fuel Is to be used. For
steam purposes, where rapid combus-
ton Is required, coal dust Is unneces-
sary, although very small percentage
Is sometimes used, while for domes-
tic purposes, where slow even fire
is desired, the best results are OBJ
tanned by the addition Of so per cent
Of coal dust. From the mixer the
mass drops into holding machine
where Il is nodded into bricks. Then
II is conveyed through drying kiln
where the bricks are thoroughly dried.
All conveyors, elevators and machin-
cry are tightly Enclosed so that there
is no escape Of dust, and the only odor
in the entire plant Is the smell Of
creosote that Is contained In the tar.
For this reason II Is perfectly possible
TO establish a plant In the business or
residential districts OF city without
being offensive. The remarkable spec
tacle of seeing old shoes, hats. paper,
rags. straw, manure, house garbage,
night soil and variety Of other waste
products being thrown into one ma
chine and emerging from another In
the shape Of perfect fuel brick, with
out odor and bearing no resemblance
whatever to the original materials. Is
almost miraculous.
Among the advantages claimed for
the new fuel are that II will not slack,
no matter how long II Is kept In stor-
age, that It is impervious to water,
and that II burns to ashes without
leaving semblance Of clinkers. 1t
also produces practically no ordor and
very little smoke when burning. There
is very large percentage, often as
high as 25 per cent, Of the ordinary
Goals, that escapes through the CRATES
without being consumed. SO that It fire.

TRAINING TODAYS

Children Are Neither Angels Nor

THEIR CONDUCT is INITIATIVE
At First, Whatever They Do Is Quite
Without Any Moral Significance
and Often Results From Pure
Iy Instructive Impulses.
BY sIpoNIE M. GUTENBERG.

n ONALD and Louise, cousins sew
~ eral times removed, were becom-
ing acquainted for the first time while
Donald was visiting the city with his
mother. They were getting along
beautifully, Louise's mother observed.
They were playing railroad with the
chairs and hassocks.
Don't move that !" shouted Donald.
you'll get right in front of the train !"
Louise continued to push the chair
against which she was leaning. "Don't
do that" repeated Donald, with a lit
tie more warmth. The chair moved
over about half yard. Bang Louise
rolled over as If struck by an automo-
bile. She had been struck by Donald
instead.
Up jumped the mothers. "You
naughty boy" came from both, as
though they had rehearsed for the
chorus. Louise did not make demon
stration of severe, suffering, so they
were able to give all of their attention
to the naughty boy. "Who would ever
have thought 1t of him?" asked the
girls mother, not expecting any one
to answer her. And Donald really did
not look very vicious, with his pale
hair and eyes, and soft voice and
shrinking manner. Certainly his moth
er had never thought him capable of
so violent and so ungallant deed.
But there could be no mistake; he
had pushed Louise over very roughly,
very unliindly, almost cruelty. And
Louise, standing by her mothers side,
picture Of injured innocence, was
absorbing the warm sympathy Of The
elders and gloating in the discontinue
of the naughty boy. Her mother al
ready knew how angelic she was, and
now Donald's mother was finding out.
Donalds mother had always sup
posed that her child was an angel too,
and she could not understand what
had happened to change him. A pres
tige of primitive superstition popped
into her head, and she reflected that
having been 'too good" for so long,
he was about to even things up by
giving the devil the upper hand for a
while. Louise'S mother did not seem
20 wonder at all. She knew that her
child was one Of the angelic kind, and
now she saw that Donald was one of
he other kind.
The fact is that Donald was just as
angelic as Louise, and just as angelic
rs he had ever been. Louise explained
that she had only moved the chair
yet Donald had not only told her-at
least twice-not to do so, but he had
rery good reason on his side. "She
put that pile of wood right in front of
where the train was coming, and 1t
would have been wrecked and all the
people killed" Any boy who would
