TRACTORS ARE USED BY CITY
Buffalo Declared to Have Best Gar.
bace Collection System by Boston

Buffalo has the best new garbage col
lection plan according to three engi-
neerS that Mayor CUrley of Boston
sent to other cities 10 find ont which
had the best one in operation. The en-
ginpers report describes the Buffalo
system briefly as follows:
''The city is divided into districts Of
such size that four horSe-drawn We
hicieS will handle thCsgarbage, ashes or
refuse. picking it up from the houses.
These four vehicles after filing are
pulled Ia central point from which
q tractor takes them on the long haul
TO the reduction plant, or dump, as
the case may be. In this way the short
haul with frequent stops is taken care
Of by horses, while for the long haul
the tractor is used taking several trail
ers. Care in routing vehicles would
be necessary TO get full advantage OF
the tractors and keep them constantly
working. These tractors cost about
5000 apiece and the trailerS about
$500. For a city Of the size Of Bos-
ton the first expense for this scheme
might be $4,000. and considerably
study would be required to assure

The Art Of Being Happy.

Some people seem To think that hap
pineSs is u thing that you can get hold
of and keep as if ii were a possession
or a quality of character. In reality
you have to work for it and you have
to keep on working. Teach yourself
to respond TO everything lovely or
cheerful, TO see beauty, TO enjoy the
society OF your fellow men, TO delight
In work and To be enthusiastic in play.
Teach yourself interest in the strug-
giles and hopes of others-the sort Of
interest that is of use, that Is a help,
says an exchange.
Learn 10 enjoy the many little things
that turn up day by day. Make the
most of your own mind, your own ca
pacities. Don't sit around. bordering
whether you are happy or not, whether
or not life is worth living.

GARBAGE Dumps Unsanitary.

Not few cities dump their garbage
upon plots OF land located usually in

removal of filth from one locality to

this To say in regard to dumping gar
bage on the outskirts:
"Whole groups OF zyrotic diseases

would begin. The war is now
three years old. What has been
