BEST PART OF PROTECTION
Apart from Appearance, There Is Ex.
celIent Reason Why Trees Should
Be Planted Along Highways.

"Shade trees, judiciously planted,
are not only large addition to the
beauty of a region, but they are Of
great value in protecting the high
ways from deterioration" Such is the
opinion of the State College of For
estry at Syracuse, which has complet-
ed investigations showing that nine
tenths of the roadsides in the rural
districts of New York are entirely bare
of shade trees. The college authorities
maintain that where overhead wires
are numerous, some sort of bushes can
be planted and where the roadway, as
distinguished from the banks at the
side, must be narrow, some small tree
will prevent any injurious effect upon
the vegetation in the adjoining fields.

pecrement unearned.

At last the unearned decrement,
neglected brother of prosperous un
earned increment, has come to its own
Alderman Charles e. Merriam has
dragged this too long forgotten child
of the shifting city out of its obscur-
ity and made Of it an argument for his
zone plan. Some Of the facts Which
he has elected are startling. For Illus
tration these:
On the South side an apartment
building was erected, at total cost
for land and construction of S14,500
A coal yard was later established on
the property adjoining, and the entire
value of the apartment building was
destroyed. In Wicker Park q residence
was built few years ago, at total
investment of something like $4,000.
The establishment of a grocery store
led to a depreciation Of the values for
residence purposes, and the house was
recently sold mt $4,000.
The same solution is to follow the ex.
ample Of European cities and Of New
York and Los Angeles in this country
by dividing tile city into residence, in.
dustrial and other types Of zones. In
that way the useless destruction Of
property might be reduced and, too,
which is more important, the entire
city might be developed in accordance
with an intelligent plan.-Chicago Her

Slogan Worth Remembering.

"The city is our home--help us to
keep it clean and healthful." This is
the slogan of the public health depart
ment of the city of Dallas. 1t would
be good for oil the people II all the
people would bear 1t in mind all the
time. If they did, they would not
spit on the sidewalk, they would not
throw dirty papers on the street, they
would not keep Ill smelling garbage
cans to offend the nostrils of every
passer-by, they would not maintain
dirty outhouses to spread disease
among their neighbors, they would not
use vulgarity and profanity on the
streets, they would not make vile re-
marks about women Of their city
among whom their own wives and sis
tiers and mothers must move and with
whom they associate, and they would
not do hundred other things that de-
tract from the cleanliness and health OF
city life.-Houston (Tex.) Post.

TEACHING PATRIOTISM.

EOR forty years Germany systematically taught mill

Germany rule over all in the schools from the
kindergarten right up through the universities and
the result is plainly indicated in the way the war has been
carried on.
If such results can be obtained by the reteraton OF fun
damentay unsound, not to say immoral doctrines is it rot

which discovered in this country about the time Con-
gress adopted the resolution will disappear under the
influence of equally systematic teaching of the necessity

form Of government solve all our problems which went
on in all the schools of this country some extent last year
and will be carried forward with intensified zeal during the
school year which has just begun9
OF course patriotism has always been taught in the
schools of this country But it was not the living faith

result ought to be, and undoubtedly will be- that in the
years to those who feel that they have sympsthes in
other country will always realize that no matter what
happens they must net permit this feeling to stand in the
way of their duty to tie land in which they live
From the beginning of time people with republican forms
OF government have upon occasion been made to understand
that outside interference, always possible was real men
either to national solidarity or to national interest
Twice before during t. early days of the government we
brought face face with this danger once during
the Citizen Genet affair." when those who favored the
French sought to commit this nation the bos of Europe
and later during the war of 1872 when powerful party
in New England did all it could to make our operations
against Britain difficult.
1t may be that we will at some time in the future be
confronted with similar conditions, but it scarcely posi-
bic that this happen within the time of any one now
living If Germany could teach blood lust and the phil
osophy of the Brightness of might America ought to he able
