OTHER VIEW POINTS

Theirs is hope in the seriousness with
which the scientists at Johns Hopkins
treat the proposition of a serum which
may restore life to the drowned after
it apparently is extinct. This should
not be mistaken for a venture on the
task of raising the dead. The drowned
often appear to be dead and to all eff
fects are dead before life really is ex-
tinct. They are dead before any ap-
planes so far discovered can be made
to operate. This is simply a move to
intensity the agencies of resUscitation.
1t may accomplish the saving of many
lives such as heretofore have been
sacrificed.-New Haven Register.
There was a period in our history
when we discounted the value of
greenery in a city. Proper care was
not given to trees and they died.
Shrubbery was largely a happening,
few taking the pains to carry out any
definite plan in its arrangement. With
in the past few years there has come
an awakening to the possibilities in
trees and ShrubbeTy arranged with an
idea for effectiveness. A little money
expended by one who knows the artis-
tic value of landscape gardening, or
even the rudiments of effective arrange
ment, is bound TO produce results out
of all proportion to the amount eX-
pended.-Meriden Record.
Inebriates,. men out of work aged
and infirm people, subnormal children,
invalids and degenerates cannot be
crowded into the same building. as
they are under the almshOuse system,
with much prospect of successful
treatment and the cure of the individ-
ual cases. Each type is a separate
| study, reqliring its own special treat
! ment. While the expense of a segre-
