Melbourne, a CITY That Planned.

There is and always has been a
great amount of public spirit in Mel
bourne, due, in large part, to the
Scotch element that has predominated
from the beginning. "The first citi-
zens, led by Scots, as r rule, set to
work with magnificent faith in the fu-
ture. A city was planned worthy OF
being the capital of ten million people,
and the public buildings were de-
signed on the same generous scale.
The soil on the site was deep and
rich; that suggested tree planting,
and most of the streets are today re-
lieved by handsome foliage and the
parks which ring the city round have
trees worthy of the forests of Europe.
The avenue of elms in Fitzroy Gardens
certainly represents that tree at its
best. Bishop E. e. Hoss in the Dali

BUILDING ON INSIDE LOT
Home May Be Made as Comfortable
as One Erected in More Ad-
vantageous Position.

When building on an inside lot a
number of complications, not found in
a corner house, will arise. The corner
house has unobstructed views from
the windows on two sides, v lille the
house on the inside lot is likely to
have but one. This fact necessitates
careful planning in locating the liv-
ing room, front entrance and porch.
The location of the living room may
develop the question of choice be-
tween a western exposure, which is
desirable, or windows, which are a
necessity.
Since from the standpoint of health,
as well as of comfort, it is essential
to secure the maximum of sun and
air in preference to other considera-
tions, the living room should extend
across the front of the house. High
windows, if neighboring houses are
near, may be placed at the sides to
admit air and light, and will exclude
unattractive views.
With the living room extending
across the front of the house, the cor
rect location of the entrance becomes
q problem. A middle entrance is not
desirable, since it would make the liv-
ing room a common thoroughfare or
else necessitate division in it.
A satisfactory solution is to place
the entrance at one corner BY this
arrangement the entrance hall may be
so divided from the living room as to
indicate it's separateness, yet in a
manner not to detract from the appar-
ent size of the room or obstruct in any
way the viewS
While the ideal location of the porch
is seldom on the front Of the house,
facing the street, it is generally prefer
able to place it there when building
on an inside lot. The suggestion of
privacy so essential to the successful
porch may be obtained by shielding
It from the street by parapet and
flower boxes.
The steps and entrance to the porch
may be arranged with good effect at
the end, thus giving to it added
privacy with an unbroken stretch Of
lawn in front.

LAWN REQUIRES MUCH CARE
Must Not Be Neglected II One Would
Have Really Suitable Adjunct
to Home.

In order to keep our lawns beauti-
full, they must have constant care.
Too often the lawn is cared for only
during the growing season, when in
reality it should be cared for during
the whole year.
Whenever the lawn needs fertiliz-
ing, put on very fine, well-rotted ma
nure soon after the ground becomes
frozen in the fall. Let 1t lay on the
lawn all winter, and rake 1t off in the
spring as soon as active growth takes
place. Be cure and use well-rotted ma
nure, because fresh manure is apt to
heat and kill the grass roots.
During an open winter, the grass
is subject to a drying-out process
which tends to kill the roots. This
can be helped by sprinkling the lawn
often.
Weeds, dandelions, etc, infest the
lawn whenever the grass has become
thin. These thin places can be rem
edied a great deal by sowing grass
seed very early fl the spring and rak-
ing 1t in we'll. Young grass will start
growing very early, and in this way,
1t will get ahead Of the weeds.-E. F..

Recovering RadIum.

What is known as 'radium" is a
radium salt, usually either radium
bromide or radium chloride, some
times radium sulphate. Tiny grains
of these salts are extremely precious,
and are usually sealed up in elass
bulbs. The radium in one of the first
bulbs that were received in London
had a curious history. A physician
in Portland place was applying the
bulb to a patient when he accidentally
let 1t fall and a moment after crushed
it under his foot.
The value of the radium to the ply
sician was very great. He removed
his shoes and cut out a square of his
valuable carpet. He had shoes and
carpet burned. and out of the ashes
refined the original radium salt. :.
was placed in new applicetc- aud q

SOMETHING ABOUT
TOM JONES

Some time back the sport writers
were fond of referring to the late
Billy Delaney of California as the
real maker of Champions" because ne
brought out Jim Corbett and jim jeff
ries. All of this was based on geat
deal of truth but the real "maker OF
champions" of the present day is one
Thomas Edward" Jones of La Sale
ILL.,. present manager Of Jess Willard,
worlds champion among all boxers.
Tom will be in the city in short
time with Willard, who, with an ALI
Star aggregation of ring and mat ath-
letes is the magnet of the athletic
section of the famous Sells-Floto cir
Gus. Jack Curley is co-partner with
Jones in the handling of Willard's af-
fairs and Jack goes on ahead of the
circus to smooth the ways, and look
for corners for the wrestlers. Jones
however, has actual chraeg of the ath-
letic features of the big show.
If you'vs never met Jones you have
missed something. He is no word
miser at any time but firm believer
in telling the world about the merits

After an examination the prison po-

During the scufflc between Cul-

able to say.
Bvstanders who saw the revolver
fall. disagreed as to who dropped it.

The Presidents car was halted when

Does it pay to keep registered

Does it pay to keep registered

That question was clearly an
swered yesterday at the Allison Peck

ceived of Mr. Peck's entire herd of

This is the record for graded stock

average og $37O5. Registered Hol-
stein bull calves, 6 to 10 months, hit
the high mark Of $153.75.
Mr.. Peck's stock ranch is in the
Mesquite Lake district and it is his
intention to keep nothing but regis
tered Holstein stuff in the future. The

INSURE ALL
HELP FREE
CHARGE

In line with modern efforts toward
welfare in working institutions, one
progressive manufacturer in San Fran
cisco has recently inaugurated plan
Of insuring the lives of its employees
free of any charge to them.
Under this plan, each employee of
the company is asked to designate IN
writing the person or persons he or
she wishes to become BENEFICIARY in
the event of death To such benefi
ciary, this company has agreed to
pay the sum of $500 in the event of
the death of the employee.
The plan has received the hearty
approval of the large corps Of fac
tory workers, office employees and
statesmen employed by the company
Especially in the case Of factory work
ers, the insurance has been greatly op-
rreciated, as it often happens that
they aie ne, in position to provide
1ul muse uSpeliuSIlI uPoH liiSii III SG9S
of their death.
A glance at the list Of beneficiar-
les designated is interesting from the
point of appreciation Of this insurance.
For example, one woman has request
ed that the $500 be distributed among
her seven children. Doubtless, she
feels tn at least she has now So
small protection for those dear to her
her in case their support is withdrawn
hy reason of her death.
The John Bollman company who
have established this new scheme, are
large manufacturers Of cigarettes in
San Francisco, This is in line with
the many other favorable working con-
ditons for those emplayed by them
that they have embodied into their
new and modern plant.
A trip through this modern factory
with its spotless tile walls, its light,
cheerful working floors, rest rooms,
shower baths and restaurant facilities,
is an education along industrial well
