SPOTLESS BLOCK TO A WARD
Philadelphia Civic Club Has Deter
mined to Try New Plan to
Clean Up City.

A spotless block in every ward of the
city, to serve as model to household
ers in the ward, will be striven for by
the Civic club this winter, the Phila-
'delphia North American states. The
suggestion, which has been evolved in
an effort to assist the department of
public works to clean up the city, is
Endorsed by the newly formed munich
pal street cleaning campaign commit
tee
The plan, as proposed by Mrs. Imo-
gene Oakley of the Civic club, is that
each ward branch of the Civic club
shall select block which it will super
wise. A committee of women will visit
repeatedly all the householders in the
model block and get their promise not
to throw papers or waste into the
street; to keep ash and rubbish boxes
clean and covered, and to aid in all
possible ways to keep that block clean
and sanitary.
The department of public works will
cooperate by instructing the street
cleaners and garbage collectors to give
special attention to that block, and by
providing receptacles for waste. If the
object lesson in street cleaning is sue
cessful, it will be extended to other
blocks in the ward.

THIS MANS HOBBY is SNAKES
ST. Louisan Travels All over the
World in Quest of Rare Speci-
mems of Reptiles.

julius Hurter, ST., of 2346 South
Tenth street. noted snake hunter and
herpetologist, owner of one of the
most complete collections of reptiles
in the world, died. 1t is understood
that he willed his collection to the
Smithsonian institution at Washing
ton. Hurter had Travelled all over the
world in quest of rare reptiles and am
phibia. He captured many of these
alive and kept them at his home until
a favorable season for killing them
and preserving them.
In his snake hunts Hurter followed
the dangerous plan of waiting until
the reptile struck and then jumping
aside and catching it by the tail. Some
times he was bitten, but the hypo-
dermic needle and strychnine averted
evil effects. Hurter never sold any Of
his specimens, but sometimes traded.

Native Trees Are Best.

Many people have the decidedly mis-
taken idea that the only trees worth
buying and setting out are the more or
less expensive shrubs or evergreens
which are not native to most sections
of the country. The idea of paying
out good money for pine or birch
or a maple seems to go against the
grain.
AS a matter of fact there are many
places where such trees are to be had
for the trouble of digging them up and
transplanting them, but even this is
considered too high a price. And yet
for many purposes pines and naples
are as good trees as can be had, and
there is nothing listed in the cata-
logues more beautiful, and graceful
than a well-cared-for group of white
birches.

Low Cost of Titles.

centage of the inclosed space is of no
practical value, but the cost of such
space is just. as great as though it
were available for manifold uses.
In home planning and home build
ing-and the idea of building a home
or the desire to plan one is dormant
or active in every normal persOn-the
chief trouble arises from endeavors to
associate ideas that are Incompatible.
Many home builders seek to use the
feature ideas of many houses, and that
is utterly impossible, for the ideas are
dissimilar and cannot be put together
without disregarding cost or sacrific-
ing appearance.
In building a home the thought
should be borne in mind that every
cubic foot of inclosed space repre-
sents a fraction of the cost. In actual
practice the cost ranges from 10 to
80 cents per cubic foot. If, due to
careless or impractical arrangement,
the space is not disable, it represents a
dead loss, and that fact will become
painfully evident to the owner If ever
the house is placed on the market.
These practical ideas of value
should be kept in mind when examin-
ing a plan with view to its adoption,
or in making up tentative plans from
which the final design is to be made.

DOING, NOT TALKING.

That we can prove our faith by our
works is no new thought, but at this
season of the year when, having turned
a fresh page in our lives we point with
pride to the many things we intend to
do during this year that Is just begin
ming, it is we'll to keep in mind the
fact that we can accomplish far more
by doing than by saying, says Charles
ton News and Courier. So many OF
us for one reason and another rro-
crastinate entering upon the actual ac-
complishment of whatever tasks we
assume, but this procrastination does
not prevent us from noising abroad
the news of what we mean to do. We
are quite likely on occasion to tell any
nody we may chance to meet the plans
we have made for the future; we talk
about what we are going to do with
as much confidence and even with as
much pride as though we already had
achieved successful results. And then,
because life is so uncertain and be-
cause we do not make allowance for
our plans going astray, we awaken
suddenly to the fact that we have only
been talking and not doing, and that
because we missed the golden moment
when it was in our minds we have
made our faith but idle words.
If we mean to do something real and
earnest in life, something that we hope
will prove our worth and our ability,
we shall stand far better chance OF
success if we simply go to work with
put advertising the fact far and wide.

IS HELPS
WEEDS ALWAYS A DETRIMENT
Is One Sacrifice That Must Be
Made for Civic Beauty.

Where is our spirit of civic pride?
One wonders when passing to the end
of any important avenue or street in
the city. Vacant lots can be found
with a reckless wilderness of weeds.
For a while there seemed to be a
natural spirit of pride, beautifully ex-
pressed in certain suburban sections,
where the home owners are sufficiently
well endowed with earthly possessions
to carry into poetic effect the idea
beautiful. When we look over these
self-same garden spots of early spring
there is an unconscious feeling of de-
spair creeping into the heart.
Weeds are most unattractive. In
their virgin days, with their appealing
sheen of green, they offered seduc-
tive lure to the eye.
The veriest weed, so to speak, pos
sesses some claim to natural beauty
In the days of spring.
But in the autumn of the year weeds
grow strong, they yield only an atmos-
phere of danger. They are gaunt and
gray and dust-laden.
There is a more significant feature
to be considered. Uncut weeds breed
disease.
We would venture to say that If
the cases of hay fever in the city were
reported, the general public would not
believe it, yet this most uncomforta-
BILE of autumnal Affections is due, to
q great extent, to the weeds of sum-
mer growth.
The great trouble with most of us is
that we start in the early days of
spring filled with ambition and with
of what the garden may
be made to yield in the later days.
After the miniature crop has been gar
nered we become neglectful. We per-
nit the weed crop to harvest itself.
Vacant lots flaunt their jungle of
weeds, and unconsciously we suffer in

should be applied. If the owner of

'ose of the law be made effective

Golf Courses for Cities.

Though the idea is one of the new
est in municipal affairs, there are al
ready % cities which have established
golf courses for the benefit of their
citizens and tourists, and a sufficient
number of others are preparing to take
the step to justify the expectation that
the total will soon be half hundred
or more. 1t is worthy Of note, too,
that the character of a city's popula-
ton, both adult and juvenile, improves
with COLTS growth in popularity. For
adults the game affords an outlet for
energies that might take less whole
