viewing municipal work throughout
the country and promoting civic de-

country formulate a three-year i'm
provement program Immediately fol-
lowing the termination of the Euro

plan will serve greatly to diminish the
i'll effects of the sudden stoppage of
the heavy operations of munitions and
other factories in the country and the
consequent throwing of thousands of
men out of employment for the time

II seems quite difficult to get the

rules of landscape gardening when
planting small places, though some of
these rules are common To all styles of
gardening and their observance so nee
essary to order that "he who runs

them to plant one or two, or more
large objects. often, very often, two
large palms. Having thus planted, it
is quite impossible to stand in the
center of your landscape and view
fine variety of plants about YOU, as
YOU should be able to do. Those who
have lived in the Eastern States will

GARDENS AND CHILD WELFARE
Experiment Being Made in New York

OF far more than ordinary interest

Of state and federal departments,

of vacant-lot gardening for children is
being made At first it will be con-

began in February under the guidance
Of President jarvis Of the Connecticut
School Of Agriculture. Outlining the
purposes of the experiment. an officer
Of the league says:
I'VE believe that to abolish child
labor we must do constructive work.
II has been found by actual practice
that whsre children have taken up
gardening they can earn more in a
summer in that work than they can
during an entire year in "A factory. The
garden products of the children are
used first for the family and the sur
plus is then marketed.
'When the parents find that the
children can make more money in
this way they will be willing to allow
them to remain longer in school TO
prepare them for better positions. In
the meantime the children have been
building character as well rs building
themselves UP physically. Taking the
children from the factories will lessen
the Number of the unemployed. There
are now 100000 chilGyen in the fac
tories and there are 100000 unem-
ployed. When we are able to take
the children from the factories we
will leave their positions for the adults
who are now idle"

Do you realize, dear mothers, that the
colds you think such small ailments and

your child can be afflicted later in life?
That is what every physician win tell
you. He will tell you also that the

in the business or the professional world
will all depend upon the care you take
of his physical well-beins during the
years of his infancy and childhood.
And yet as go about our streets ana
see the pale, anemic children, improperly
clad, heavy eyed, showing late hours for
bedtime and no precautions against keep
ing the poor little things from sitting on
the damp ground or padding in the
puddles of water in their little thin shoes

to grow up as do. Life must be very
tenacious of its hold to persist in spite or
the abuse of 1t by the mothers Of the
racei
1 had occasion to talk to a mothers
club not long ago, and the members
asked me to say something about the
care of new baby. After the talk,
great many questions were asked,
and IL the members of our club could
have heard them am sure they
would have been as much appalled, as
I was myself at the ignorance of the
very rudiments of the care of chill
dren shown by those mothers. Most
of them were women, too. who belong
to what we are pleased to call our
best people"
One mother timidly inquired If
thought 1t was really SO very neces-
sary to have regular hours for feed
ing little babies; didn't I think they
got along a great deal better IL they
were fed only when they were
hungry? Another asked IL / really
believed, as I said 1 did, in putting
children to bed with the chickens; it
was SO inconvenient to do that; she
and her husband could never go any
where at night II they could not take
the little three-year-old boy with
them, as they kept no nurse to stay
at home with him. Another wanted
to know why / said candy and sweets
were bad for children: her children
had always had all they wanted and
were as fat and healthy as any sne
knew This one admitted. when I
questioned her, that the baby teeth
of all her children had decayed and
fallen opt before the second teeth
were ready TO make their appearance,
and the second teeth had come in
crooked and crowded: she had had to
have the dentist try to straighten the
teeth of all three of her little ones.

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR

By FRANCES MARSHALL.

Lots OF women don't clean house nova
days. At least the sort of housecleaning
they do is not at all the same sort that
their mothers and grandmothers did
twice year.
In those old days. when spring was
to be taken down. carpets had to be
taken up, beaten. and relaid, winter
curtains had to be cleaned to put up
again for summer and much other work
that the modern housekeeper does not
have to think about was done.
Nowadays, spring cleaning, even when
1t Is done, is an easy undertaking. For
most of US have bare floors with rugs
and every week the rugs are well cleaned.
Most Of us don't keep heavy hanginss
at the windows in summer. II we have
any curtains then. We have special. thin
summer ones, so winter draperies are
simply cleaned, at the proper time, and
put away until next autumn. We don't
have Stoves to take down, of course;
When the furnace fire goes out for the
last time, a man cleans the furnace
thoroughly-and that's done with. Then
perhaps We have the cellar given an
extra cleaning. and coat of white

housekeeping, even In these easy days.
until the furnace fire goes out. For
even now there is a certain amount of
dust from this source. But IL you have
an open fire in the living room. and q
gas or electric heater In the bathroom
a cold bathroom is dangerous-the fire
can be let out fairly early to the comfort
and pleasure of everybody. Spring chill
in the air is pleasant. IL there is a cheer
full fire to gather about-and II the bath
room isn't chilly. OF course IL there is
anybody old or i'll in the house, she or
he must have a fireplace. or a portable
gas or electric radiator in the sleeping
room.
The spring sunshine somehow seems
brighter than winter sunshine, and it
shows up all shabbiness in rugs and
curtains and upholstery. That is why
the housekeeper wishes to have the house
clean and fresh as soon as possible.

the children's health. This mother went

She went on to tell the club her plan

child's breakfast is given her at half

Merchants should be careful while this
confguration lasts. There is sinister
sign for credits.
Jupiter is in a place read as indicating
disappointment to lawyers and to one
especially, who has held high Office and
has been mentioned for a place Of great
honor.

There is a good sign for southern and

benefit greatly from railways and other
methods OF transportation.

careful to safeguard themselves ffnan-

likely that a crime of violence is
presaged.
Astrologers prophesy that a public
event will establish harmony or at least

amicable settlement of difficulties.
Persons whose birthdate it Is should
