to destroy the natural symmetry and
shape of the specimen. This natural
ly symmetrical shape is precise and
fairly regular in it's occurrence due to
a type structure explained later.
To remove unbalanced parts.-It is
a common practice to prune in order
TO thicken the head, strengthen the
specimen. and create more dense
shade. This is the question that most
interests us in the general shaping and
care of ornamental trees. We want
to know how to top" our soft naples
and whether or not we should top the
elm at the same time.
Tree Structure.
To understand topping we must
study tree structure. Trees are either
opposite or alternate leaved.
In the opposite-leaved trees the ter
minal bud develops Il new stem. The
side buds develop also and each in
turn develops terminal bud and side
buds. This kind of a tree forms nat
urally ''leader' or stem that grows
straight from the ground to the top of
the tree and the limbs unless accident
ally injured tend to develop symmetric-
ally about it-e. e, the maple.
When you top such tree or in 9th
er words remove the terminal bud
you give more strength to the side
buds. They develop more abundant
~, thickening the tree and reducing
its spindly length, until 1t becomes
stronger and a denser shade tree.
Such tree should be topped before
it gets so old that the cut will not
heal over. and the cut place must be
made smooth and waterproof. On the
other hand the alternate-leaved trees
tend to send branch first to one side
and then to the other side-e. e, the
elm.
Until the tree grows out of reach
of our hand and strength we can keep
it bent straight or the one-side bud
removed so that it will tend to send
up q straight stem. But as soon as 1t
gets beyond our reach the identity of
the trunk is lost in the branches and
one may not as a rule trace the main
trunk clear to the top Of the tree. If
such q tree is topped from time to
time we may easily leave the last bud
always on the same side of the stem
and a tree wiz grow all to one side.
Beyond this we must consider the
natural strength of a tree. There is
no object in trimming or topping a
strong hardwood tree such as an oak
or a sugar maple that ordinarily would
not be broken in the wind. Such a
tree is naturally adapted to self-forma-
ton and unless injured by some ex-
ternal cause will take care OF itself
There are two other things we must
know about trees. First, certain va
rieties or species will never make good
ornamental shade trees and should not

There is a right and wrong way
of pruning shade trees. Topping
should preferably be done after the
leaves drop in the fall and before the
buds swell in the spring but it is safe
to do the work at other seasons.
Why We Prune Trees.
To remove dead Wood.-The reason
for removing dead wood is obvious.
1t is in the way. 1t breeds disease; it
is unsightly and dangerous. The way
TO do it is to cut it suit, removing all
dead or decayed portion. Smooth off
the surface so that water will not
gather. If a cavity remains, paint it
with a lead paint to keep out fungous
and insect pests, then fill the hole with
Il material that will keep out the mois-
ture and squirrels and upon which q
new bark may find support to grow.

clean. close to the main stem with n
slanting cut so that water will drain
off. Then coat with tar or lead
paint to keep off water and insects
which bore into and lay eggs in green
wood.
To increase flowers and fruit.-In
order to understand this we must be
able to distinguish between leaf and
flower buds. The flower buds are usu-
ally larger and of different shape from
leaf buds. BY removing limbs or twigs
which contain only leaf buds we will
accomplish our purpose. The cut must
be made clean and smooth and if a
large surface of heart wood is left ex-
posed it should be painted. In remov-
ing such limbs care must be taken not

are too open; buds too far apart on
the stem and branches come out at
long intervals. Other trees are objec-
tionable because of the bad odor Of
their flowers, brittle twigs. dropping
}cayoe shedding of bark or short life.
Secondly, the method of branching or
the angle of branching with the trunk
affects it's form.
The Six Forms.
There are six forms into which trees
may be grouped.
a. Vase form-elm.
b. d-topped--maple.
c. Boxiform-hickory
d. Coniform-spruce or pine.
G. yramidal-Lombardy poplar
f. Grotesque-arufi' ally propagated
trees like the umbrella Catalpa or
Teas weeping mulberry.
(a). Vase form.--In Il vase form tree
the branches bend up, then out and
down-the trunk forming the stem.
Topping this tree will make it dished
on top and weaken It's structure. 1t
cannot grow together again and ''fa-
tai crotch" is formed in the branches.
(b). Round-topped.-The branches
of round-topped trees grow out and
then bend up and inward, forming a
globular top. Cutting off the tips Of
such branches thickens the top and
strengthens the growth.
(c). Boxiform.-Trees that are in
cluded in the boxiform group also
branch squarely or at right angles to
the trunk and the top branches eX-
tend to approximately the same length
as the lower ones.
(d). Coniform.-Branches of trees in
the conform group form right angle
with the trunk. The lower limbs are
wide and the others shorter as they
approach the top of the tree until the
tree tapers down to point
(e). PyramidaI. The Lombardy
poplar and others of the pyramidal
type have limbs that tend to grow
straight upwards, parallel to the
trunk.
~. Grotesque trees.-Trees of the
grotesque class are of odd and I'M
usual character. They are either too
irregular or too formal to be adapted
to naturalistic planting and usually
branch too low to allow traffic under
meath.
1t would be safe then to say that
softwood trees like cottonwood, box
elder, soft maple, and catalpa need
topping. Locusts, sycamores, and hick-
cries need to have dead wood removed
before 1t falls. Other trees need to
be shaped or headed up and given a
fair start in life when they are u to
20 feet high If this is done they
will thereafter take care of themselves
unless artifclally or accidentally in

French Senator Returns
 From German Prison

Paris, June 0.-(Corespondence.)- )-Au- guste Potie, an important brick manu- facturer, senator from the department of the Nord and mayor of Haubourdin, has just made his first appearance in the Senate since the spring of 1914 and an- nounced to his colleagues that he had in the meantime learned the trade of tailor Nin a German prison.
 Senator Potie was sent to prison in July, 1915, for having reminded the com manding officer of the occupying forces who happened to be a Greek officer in the service of Germany, that article 52 of The Hague convention was contrary to the forced employment of the inhabi- tants in invaded districts on work of a military nature for the benefit of the in vaders.
 Haubourdin is only three miles from the battle front and the inhabitants were called upon for all sorts of service, bur dened with excessive acquisitions and loaded with fines and vexations of all sorts.
 Ten young girls in the Saint Au- gustin orphan asylum at Haubourdin had been ordered by the Germans to make burlap sacks. When they learned that the sacks were to be filled with sand and used as ramparts against the French they refused to work. M Cordonier. director of the flax mill from which was requisitioned the ma terial to make the sacks. was held re- sponsible for the strike and on his refusal to undertake the manufacture of the sacks was fined 1000 francs and held as hostage until the work should be resumed.
 Captain Argyropoulos. the Greek of ffcer in command, then summoned Monsieur Potie to furnish the sacks. He refused. The German commander fined him 1000 francs while most se- were measures were taken against the entire population. Subsequently, M. Po- tie and M Cordonnier were both fined 500 francs by General Krug von Nida, commanding the Twenty-fourth divi- sion at Lambersart. A few days later, after he had posted letter invoking The Hague treaty, Senator Potie was arrested. Both he and M. Cordoninsr were condemned without having ap- peared before any tribunal to pay fines of 5000 francs and to serve one year in prison, the terms of prison to be increased II months in default of payment of the fines. Confined at Loos, then at Aix-la-Chapelle and Co., logne they were finally taken to the prison of Siegburg. There their heads were shaved; they were clothed Iii

 E Janet had a good day at the office. Things went busily and well. Her work was shot through with little thoughts of her freedom and plans for using it proftably. She decided to have din- ner at some pleasant restaurant with a girl friend who was employed in an office nearby. And perhaps get tickets for some theatre, as they used to do before Janet married.
 But the girl had an engagement for the evening and they could only have a hurried dinner together. So Janet went home early. There was a postcard from Walter saying, Hello, friend neighbor, Having a nice time? Loving ly, Walt"
 Wonder what he's doing?" she mur- mured a bit wistfully.
 The evening seemed long Janet read awhile, tired of it and experimented with some of the furniture to see if the morris chair wouldn't look better in the corner by the window and the read ing table at one end instead of square ly in the center of the room. She hemmed bureau cover and sewed some
 
 blouses.
 Why was 1t that her being alone and free to amuse herself lacked zest? It didn't seem to be the same as in her bachelor girl days. Why? she question ed with a vague sense of vexation. And why hadn't Walt called her up to say hello instead of sending that skimpy postcard?
 Suddenly the telephone bell whirred. It was o'clock. That must be Walt now. She flew happily to the telephone, only to hear the voice of the colored hall boy, MT. Nicol calling to see MT. and Mrs. Stedman." Janet's heart thumped with annoyance and disappointment. Then leaped with pleasure.

 For it is an adventure," laughed Janet to herself Ito have your husband pack his bag and go to his bachelor quarters for vacation six weeks after you've been married. But I don't care how irregular or Quixotic it Is. I know our plan is best. And that if we don't see too much of each other we shall keep more of the zest and glamour of romance in our life partnership"
 She went back into the living room, which still smelt faintly of Watts pipe. And now-what shall do with my evening"" she said to the empty room. She decided to get into her woody kimono and slippers, hunt out a box of caramels and read comfortably. A long time passed. The place began to seem ghastly silent and chill.

 When she alwoke in the morning the house seemed emptily still. Janet brisked around, singing, prepared her breakfast, donned her neat tailored suit, her stylish small hat, her gloves and furs and was just leaving the house when Katie; the maid, arrived.
 Katie was little puzzled when told "the boss was not at home. In Katies code your man either stuck around or left you. She had never heard of a sane young bridegroom just quiet ly disappearing, with his grip, for few days vacation" She muttered to her.
