USUAL SPRING IMPROVEMENTS.
BEACH DOUBLED IN SIZE.

fiiai; Mr.. Smith is Optimistic
Over Prospects of Season.

Every cottage in Laurel Park has
been leased and those owned by sum-
mer residents will be occupied this
summer according to a statement Of
W. A. Smith owner of Laurel Park
estate.
The demand for cottages in Laurel
Park has been unusually great this
season and all probabilities are that a
number of new ones will be con-
structed before another year
This year is no exception to the
many improvements made every sea-
son in the Park which is thought by
many to be one Of the most beautiful
natural parks in America.
The beach has been doubled in
length owing to he crowded condition
during the height of the season last
ways are now being widened and
scraped so that when the season opens
Laurel Park will be one of the most
inviting places for the sight seers as
well as the summer visitors who re
side here.
A great deal of attention IS being
given to the grounds near the entrance
OF the park. Every year a little is
added by skilled hands to the already
magnificent natural growth of noun
tain shrubbery and flowers.
Mr. Smith states that the electric
car system is in tip top shape to be-
gin operation within a days notice.
He is very optonistie over the outlook
for Laurel Park and feels that with.

BABY WEEK IN NORTH CAROLINA.
The State Board of Health Prepares
Special Program for North Car
OIina Baby Week. -

1t is the opinion of the State Board
OF Health that every town and organ
lied community in North Carolina can
tt Ike some part in the general or ma
tion-wide Baby Week campaign. The
week that has been set apart by the
National Children's Bureau for this
purpose is March 4-11: however,
towns and communities may. observe
the week at any subsequent time more
convenient during the spring. The
advantage of observing Baby Week In
the spring is to prepare aaginst
high infant death rate during the sum-
ner months, as all educational WORK
done during Baby Week will be fresh
in the minds of the mothers and help
ful in keeping the baby well during
the summer
A bulletin issued by the State Board
of Health suggests local Baby Confer
ences as the most practical means of
observing Baby Week in North Carroll
nj. 1t says that by bringing the peo-
pie of community together, especial
ly the mothers, every afternoon for q
week to discuss and hear discussed
the best means of raising healthful
babies would be bound to- result
better babies and a lower baby death
rate for any community
As the work of Baby Week is pri-
marily educational. the bulletin Sug
gests that some woman's organizations.
as the woman's club, civic league,
church society or combination of So
cieties take the work in charge, and.
that the local, newspapers be asked to
cooperate and give the movement as
tmuch publicity as possible. It sug
gests further that the confernces be
ad addressed by physicians, nurses
and baby specialists. also that the
pastors and church workers be asked
to cooperate.
The following program has been
suggested by the State Board OF Health
as suitable and practicable for the OBJ
serVance of Baby Week in North Car
DINA:
Saturday-Wha the Community
Owes the Baby-Clean milk, pure wa
| ter, fresh air and screened homes.

What Two Women Did in Beautifying
Home ViVidIy Told.
/ was driving through Albany coun-
ty New York, a short time ago when
my attention was drawn to a particu-
larly pleasing farm home, says M. G..
Kains in Country Gentleman. l use
the word 'Fhome" become home rather
than merely house was suggested by
the looks of the place. The driver
noticed my interst and volunteered
the following story:
Three or 4 years ago this farm was
one of the show places along the road
because of it's untidiness. Not only
was the space between the road and
the house used as a calf pasture, but
it contained about as decrepit col
lection of fruit trees as the county
could boast of. The lane that led up
to the side of the house and to the
barnyard beyond was just zone clutter
of rotting lumber and junk" The
owner would not allow any of the
trees to be cut down so long as they
promised to bear fruit, and he would
not move the calves to other quarters
because his father had always kept
them where the wife could see them.
but .CuG pT0S0uI W1I6 anu udu6uCST
did not enjoy the prospect of decrepit
fruit trees, eeyn if there. were calves
bamboling among them. So they put
up a job on father" Whenever the
boss would be away these two women
would chop down one of the trees, and
not only clean up their chips but make
the ground look as if it had always
| been in grass right there. They kept
up this game for several months be-
fore father noticed any difference.
When, he did notice he had his eyes
wide open A new calf pasture was
found. The useless trees were all cut
away. The fences that had no excuse
{ for existence were Hanished. Then
the beautiful lawn wits its fankine
of shrubbery and perennial flowers
that attracted my eye were started
And all this was done by the quiet
even stealthy, persistence of two wo-
J men!
