How many beautiful homes on which
money has been spent lavishly to make
them complete are marred by some de-
feet in the landscape work! A, few
hours motor trip through the suburbs
Of almost any city in the country will
reveal many such cases. The most fire.
quent jar the trained eye receives is
from the poorly laid out walks and
drieeways in which badly arranged
curves are used or walks made to curve
around an oval grass plot placed in the
center for no other reason than to
make pedestrians take time to circle
about that particular grass plot. Post
men, messenger boys and others take
a short cut, and soon a path in the
proper direction is worn across the Sod.
When a curve is used in a walk or
driveway there should be reason for
it. If there is no other reason plant
one; place a tree or two or shrubs In a
position so the curve will seem neces-
sary. People then will keep on the
walk, and the plan will seem reason
able.-New York Sun.

MANY William, shakespeares.

There have been many William
Shakespeare in the past Among the
burials in the registers of st. Clement
Danes, in the Strand, there is the en-
try. "Jane Shackspeer, daughter Of
Willm., 8 Aug, 1909" Warwickshire
records show, among other things, that
a William Shakespeare paid IS. to the
Lay Subsidy, Walton super Olde;" an
other W. S. priced the goods Of Rob
ert Shakesper of Wroxall'' on March 10,
1868; another, shoemaker Of Coven-
try, made his will March IS, 1866;
still another William Shakespeare,
gentleman" had "his daughter Su-
sauna" (singularly enough) baptized ON
March Ia, 1896, and yet again another
w. S., a shoemaker Of Warwick, fell
into the Avon and was drowned.
These are a mere fraction Of the full
list.-London Chronicle.

Makina q MAGNET.

The simplest way Of magnetizing q
bar of steel is that known as 'single
touch" The bar to be magnetized Is
laid on the table, and the pole OF
powerful magnet is rubbed from ten to
twenty times along it's length, always
in the same direction. If the north pole
Of the magnet is employed the end OF
the bar first touched will also become
a north pole, while the opposite end, at
which the magnet is lifted before re-
turning, will be south pole.
There arc other and more complicat-
ed methods, known as divided touch"
and double touch" in which two and
even four magnets are employed.
A steel bar can also be magnetized
by placing it within a coil of insulated
wire, through which galvanic current
is circulating. The magnetism induced
in this way, however, is weak COM
pared with that which can be procured
if the same strength Of current is en-
ployed through the intervention OF an
electromagnetic.

Falling Up Out of a Balloon.

If man falls out of a rising aero
plane or balloon he will not so toward
the earth, but will continue rising into
the air for an appreciate time. If
the air machine were stopped in it's
ascent at the time it could catch the
man as he came down. If the airship
were ascending at the rate of thirty
two feet second the man would rise
sixteen feet before beginning to fall
toward the earth. Thus, by reducing
the speed of its ascent, the vessel
might keep by the side of the man and
rescue him. The reason why the man
rises is the same as the reason for a
bullets rising when shot from gun
into the air-both the man and the
bullet are given velocity upward, and
it takes some time for gravity to mega
tive that velocity.

GREEDY PARENTS
PLACE CHILDREN !.
|NTHE MOVIES"
Child Up1ift Worker Tells
of Wrongs Innocents
Suffer.

Baltimore, Md, March 24.-Greedy
parents are so tempted by the high
salaries paid to children by motion
picture companies as to make it diff
cult to enforce laws regulating the
employment Of children in moving
picture plays, declared Miss JEANNE
v. Minor, of New York, Assistant
Secretary of the New York Child La
Dor Committee, in an address here to-
day before the thirteenth National
Conference on Child Labor.
New York, Miss Minor said, has a
law regulating the employment of
children by motion picture companies,
but the high wages paid to them
induce the parents to evade 1t.
Zone mother" said Miss Minor was
so intoxicated by the earning capacity
of her five-year-old child that she
tried to obtain permits simultaneously
for movies and theatrical work and
another family of four lives solely on
the earnings of baby six months, the
father having given up his work to
carry the baby to and from the studio.
Public opinion, expressed in ON
and abs whenever a winsome baby is
flashed on the screen is largely re-
sponsible for the overwhelming circle
Of child talent employed in the max
ing of motion pictures. But would II
add to the enjoyment of an audience
witnessing thriller where the
flames spread rapidly and the actors
barely escaped cremation, to know
that in such picture girl or twelve
trying to escape, was not rescued un-
til seriously burned?
docs the high salary of $50 relm-
burse the mother whose small son
shivers naked in the icy waters of the
Hudson for twenty minutes when the
doctors bill for subsequent services
is $50?
Should it be possible to saturate an
infants crib with oil, set fire to it and
rescue the frightened baby not min
ute too soon?
mot the least Of evils Of this use
of children is the danger of moral
contamination in the low type of play
in which many Of them take part as
did one little girl who played the
child of a drunken gambler"
Miss Minor declared that children
in New York evade the law by going
to New Jersey where many moving
picture studios are operated and
where there is no law to restrict the
employment of children in them ITO
make the New York law effective
she said, similar or better laws
should be enacted in contiguous states,
and the circle must widen until every
state sees that the lives and morals
of it's children are not endangered in
this latest and widest field of child
labor"

Prominent Men Of Both
Countries Join to Elk
change Ideas.

s Toxic, March 24.-Although there
exist many organizations i'm Japan
In which Americans and Japanese
have an active membership there has
never been formed an association
which would serve as general link
between the two peoples. That void
now has been filled by the formation
OF an American-Japane association
to bring about an exchange OF ideas
ION questions which concern Japan and
the United States.
viscount Kentaro Kaneko, Of the
iPrivy Council, presided at the organi-
zation meeting, which was attended by
about fifty representative Japanese
and Americans. The Japanese 1nclud-
ed Baron Shibusawa; Baron Sakatani,
Mr.. Shidehara, Vice Minister for For
eign Affairs; Baron Megata, chairman
Of the Harvard Club; Mr.. Hioki, for
nner minister to China; Admiral Bar
on Uriu; DR., J. Soyeda, j. Inouye.
president of the Yokohama Specie
Bank; Baron Kanda; DR.. T. Dan and
others. George w. Guthrie (since
dead,) the American Ambassador and
his staff also were present.
viscount Keneko referred to the
great need Of such an association as
was proposed and said he thought it
would be a convenient and useful me-
dunn for the exchange of views on
questions of interest between Japan
and the United States, more especially
those involving the issue of race. He
thought, also, 1t would afford means
for more frequent and less formal
intercourse between Japanese and
Americans.
Ambassador Guthrie in a speech
which was applauded, expressed the
opinion that the new organization
would fill an important and useful
place. He believed it desirable, he
said, that more emphasis be, placed
on the points in which Japan and the
United States are alike and that less
stress be laid upon the ways in which
the two peoples are alleged to be diff
ferent. He referred to the occasional
irresponsible and petty utterances,
sometimes mischievous, of which too
often people were inclined to make
mountains. He added: II have just
made visit to the temple at 1kegame,
near Toxic, and there was pointed out
to me a monument raised TO the mem

ished in the wreck OF the United
States frigate Oneida in Yokohama

reverent Japanese people. That Is
what I mean by dwelling more on the
sympathy between us"
Other speakers were Baron Shibu-
sawa and DIR. Takamine of New York.
A. committee of organization was ap-
polluted and it is expected that 800
representative Japanese will join the
new body. A banquet will be held at
q later date The aim Of the associa-
lont is constructive. It will supple
