FOR CHlLD-WELFARE EXHIBIT
Work Issued by the Federal Depart
ment Of Labor Is Of Value to
Every Community.

"Child-Welfare Exhibits" is the
title Of bulletin issued by the chill
drens bureau of the federal depart
ment OF labor. This has been pre-
pared in reply to the many inquiries
received by the bureau about exhibits,
and single copies may be had for the
asking. The bulletin will give those
who expect to observe the nationwide
Baby week next March, or those who
are planning baby show, childrens
health conference, or any kind OF chill
dren's exhibit the benefit Of expert ad-
vice and practical experience in sue
cessful exhibit work.
The bulletin is full of suggestions
for communities of all sizes. 1t de-
scribes effective small exhibits of one
or another phase of child problems.
II defines a "child-welfare exhibit in
the title of which the name Of the city
or state appears as "well-rounded
presentation of the whole question OF
the welfare of the community's chill
dren," and sounds warning against
undertaking such a general exhibit
without the cooperation Of all the so
cial agencies of the community
The results of child-welfare exhibits
are emphasized "A new factory In
spector In Kansas City, housing in
spector in Louisville, a $4,000 school
building in a congested district OF
Northampton, increased sewer connec-
tions in Easthampton where the ice
supply of the town was menaced, are
types of results which have been se-
cured In practically every community
that has devoted sufficient time and
thought to the planning of a child,wel-
fare exhibit. In cities where no or
ganized combination of social agen-
cies exists to interpret and carry out
the legislative program suggested by
an exhibit, the exhibit organization It
self is often a first step to such
combination"
The bulletin includes complete list
of all child-welfare exhibits owned by
state departments, January |, 1915,
and copy of the record blank used
by the Children's Health Conference
of the children's bureau.

PLANTING TREES AND SHRUBS
Haphazard Method Will Never Get the
Results That Are to Be
Desired.

Avoid haphazard planting CT trees
and shrubs. Many planters make the
mistake of thinking that the chief
thing is to get certain trees or shurbs
on to the lawn. This is great mis-
take, even at the first, and the mis-
take grows more apparent as the years
90 by and the different things become
of various sizes till there is a YER
table chaos in the arrangement, with
little and big things intermingled.
The house should have an absolutely
clear lawn in front Of 1t except In
cases where native trees have been
left In the clearing away of the ar
boreal growths The fact that such
trees are already in existence when
the house was built is often a reason
for keeping them, But when the
builder has a clear field In the first no
tree should be allowed to stand IL
front of the house.\ The desire should
be to produce a picture, with the trees
and shrubs arranged along the sides
of the lawn, with the tallest growing
trees and shrubs tarthest back Such
an arrangement greatly increases the
appearance OF spaciousness, for the
eve naturally uses the things nearest
as a measure of distances. This is OF
importance when the area that can be
devoted to ornamentation is rather
limited.

COMPANIONS.

7 HAVE a friend so very strange and
wonderful to know,
Her eyes are deep, love to watch the
wonder in them grow;
And when she speaks the air vibrates with
music soft and low.
Sometimes | am afraid Of her-l fear the
scornful shine
Deep in the stormy eyes Of her. strange
unspoken sign
That she is friend to many. but L may
not call her mine.
Sometimes l chafe beneath her rule when
all the world Is gay.
And venture out alone without her and
to point the way
And mingle with the many on the high
road gone astray
Sometimes | can but feel her breath upon
the breezes blown:
Her name is Truth. but when l feel her
fingers In my own
And know that she has read my soul L
feel that l have grown.
