The most active of the
Committees the last week has
been the Committee on IN

Of the Rev. DR.. Rowan, John

The Committee has made
record tours of inspection
along Main street, carefully
noting objects that offend the
eye-such as ash piles, d.
lapidated fences or buildings,
high weeds, etc. In many
cases just mere suggestion
to a property owner has been
sufficient, and the Committee
wishes to thank those who
have shown such ready
cooperation with the Town
Beautiful idea. From time
to time property owners
along Main street will be
asked to Go specific things to
enhance the appearance of
their places, and it is hoped
that any suggestion made by
the committee will be re-
ceived with good nature even
though they are unable to
act on the Committees re-

TREES FOR STREET PLANTING

A good street tree should pos
sess certain qualities, such as
hardness, adaptiveness to soil
conditions, have ornamental and
shading value, good habit Of
growth, a long life and compare
tive immunity from diseases and
insect pests.
No one tree seems to have
these qualities. There is scarce
" a tree used in street planting
that some one cannot find some
fault in.
The following list is subject
i've:
Oriental Sycamore
l. Oriental Sycamore (Platinus
orientalis). This tree is not as
hardy as the native sycamore,
vet in this latitude it is perfectly
hardy. It is more beautiful and
a more rapid grower than the ma
tive sycamore. 1t has a wide
adaptation to soil conditions and
will succeed in locations where
other trees would quietly sue
cumb. It is a particularly good
tree for paved streets and will
thrive in openings made in paved
side walks. 1t also responds to
good conditions and makes it's
best growth in a sandy loan soil.
It is not attacked seriously by in
sects and is practically immune
to certain leaf diseases that rem
der the native sycamore insight
ly. 1t is one of the few trees that
combine rapid growth and a long
life. 1t is a good shade tree, and
while not as handsome as some
other trees, it is not unattractive.
It's green and white notified bark
and spreading compact head make
it an attractive tree to flourish
under mutilation. (Take look
in the winter time at the row in
front of the High School.)

ATTENTION TO NEW
TOWN ORDINANCE
Receptacles For Waste Paper
To Be Placed On Streets

Edward L. Richard, chair
man of the committee on
waste paper boxes, has been
busy the last week inquiring
into the best kind of recep-
tacle to provide. He has had
letters from Washington,
New York, Columbus, Ohio,
and other cities and has
learned that they cost any
where from $500 to $500
each. 1t is the hope of the
committee to decide upon the
make and price Of the boxes
within a week, and to order
FIVE to be placed along Main
street. In this connection
the Town Beautiful Commit
tee wishes to direct atten-
ton to this new ordinance
Just passed by Town Council.
1T shall be unlawful to
distribute posters, price lists,
or any other papers excepting
where they are handed to per-
sons, placed in private mail
boxes or put under the doors
Of houses or business places,
thus prohibiting the throw
ing of posters in yards and
in the street. Any one so
offending shall upon con-
viction before the magistrate
pay a fine of not less than
$500
The observance or the en-
forcement of this ordinance
will bring about a great i'm
provement in the appearance
of our streets which for a
long time have been in a dis
gracefully untidy condition,
and Council is to be congratu-

Wanting. There is question 2
its hardness. 1t readily adapts
itself to wide range of soils. It
is rapid grower and is long
lived. The branches are tough,
not easily broken and there is
but little refuse from it to litter
up the street. For Newark's mar
row streets it has almost too COM
pact a head, as the narrow streets
necessitate its being fairly close
to the houses and the dense fol-
iage shuts off the much needed
southern breeze on SUNNI e
nights. The Norway maple is
beautiful tree. The blossoms are
attractive in the spring and the
leaves remain on in the fall long
after they have fallen from most
other street trees. It needs but
little pruning if it is carefully
trained for a few years after set
ting. The young trees are some
what crooked but as the tree
grows older it outgrows this de-
feet. 1t is practically free from
diseases and no serious insect
pests modest it. It is better adapt
ed to residence streets than bust
ness streets. Os street tree the
head should no be started too low.
There is a good specimen in the
front yard of the primary school.
American Elm
3. The American Elm (Ulmus
Americana). The elm altho it
adapts itself to most soil condi-
tions grows best in rich moist
soils along the banks of streams.
The American elm may we'll be
called the most beautiful of all
American trees and proud in
deed is that town which can boast
of an avenue of old, unchanged
elms. It's habit of branching
high, it's vase shaped form and
wide spreading crown, make it
rank in these points as first
among shade trees. 1t does not
adapt itself we'll to paved streets.

paper strewn streets have
been due not entirely to the
distribution Of circulars by

waste paper blowing about
the street is the discard of

European Linden

4. European Linden (Tillia vul-

eXcels the native linden as a
street tree. 1t thrives in a great
variety of soils. 1t does not
adapt itself we'll to paved streets.
When it gets old it sheds great
amount of dead twigs each year
and it apt to litter up the walks
underneath. The linden is a beau
tiful tree and makes an excellent
street tree where conditions favo,

There is fine row of these
trees on the College Campus.
Unfortunately these trees on the

apart and as a result have failed

says Pliny. 1t will Immediately cool it,
the water refusing to boil again until
the bone has been removed. To find
this bono. expose the dead toad on an

The history of the first sixteen years
of the White House is practically
biography of Mrs. Dolly Madison, the
handsome young widow whom the
bachelor James Madison married
long after his friends had regard
ed him as confirmed in his single
blessedness. The first eight years she
was the official hostess for the elderly
widower, President Thomas Jefferson,
her husband being a member of his
cabinet jefferson was rich, and his
patriotic prodigality assisted her in
uniting the warning social factions Of
the capital In the Wilderness" as
Washington was then called. Mrs.

Jefferson was her social education and
the White House was her training
school. and during Madison's own adj

NOISES HIGH UP IN THE AIR.

Where an Echo Is Louder Than the
Sound That Produced 1t.
To cause the echo of sound to be
louder than the sound that caused 1t
seems an inpossibility. but under Ger.
tain conditions this can happen. and
the echo Is sometimes many times
greater In sound volume than the orig
inal noise that produced it
This happens away up In the air
For instance. ii an aviator is. say, 1000
or 1900 feet above ground and some
one on the ground fires revolver
there is brief time when nothing Is
heard The aviator can see the smoke
from the nuzzle of the revolver. then
wait little. then the sound comes to
him. not like the sharp report OF re-
volver. but more ike a quick peal OF
thunder. loud and sharp and really
several times greater In sound volume
than the actual report Of the revolver.
The cause Of this is that the afr be-
low is much more dense. while up
above 1t Is lighter. and there are no
hills and trees and buildings to help
muff1e the sound. so It comes up on
sound waves with increasing noise.
Having no solid background around
and about the aviator. the rebound Of
the sound waves is greater up there
than on the ground.
1t Is said man In a balloon may
lower an explosive on a cord several
hundred feet below his basket and set
1t off with an electric wire and battery.
There Is a sharp little "crack" Ike the
report of fobert rife; then comes the
most terrifying noise. like great
burst Of thunder. the loudest ever
heard The actual explosion did not
make anywhere near this amount Of
noise, but the air being much more
dense below causes the line of lenst re-
sistance to be straight up. and so the
sound waves expand nightly In IN up
