TOO FEW ARTISTIC RoADsIDEs
In That Respect IL Must Be Admitted
That the United States 10 Far
Behind Europe.

The advantage and pleasure to Dc
derived from an artistic roadside seem
50 apparent that it would appear I'M
necessary to comment on the matter
hut when we travel about and see our
highways with their bordering improve
ments we are forced to the conclusion
that the appearances are not sufficient
ly appreciated.
Streets of the usual bOx-type or
clapboard houses may be found in ana
about nn,st of our cities. That they
are devoid of any artistic conception
is particularly proved when we con-
trast them with the roadsides which
may BE- seen in charming variety
throughout the most progressive Euro
pean countries.
The awkward bOxlike type shows q
lack of thought beyond merely filling
out the physical requirements, where
as the European type shows grace
full treatment of the roof lines ana
grouping of the cLfmneys.
In countries where the general sur
roundings are so artistic it becomes
the natural habit to follow the preva-
lent examples, so that the fdea when
once started has a natural growth.
Architectural design may be artis-
tically and economically applied to all
classes of buildings, Notwithstanding
the general opinion that such thought
is only applicable to expensive con-
struction. When we arrive at prop
er appreciation of the artistic roadside
we will not hesitate to insist on archi-
tectural treatment Of all construction
work of whatever class.

Watch His LAUGH.

The leopard cannot change his
spots, nor the Laughter his laugh. It
is as characteristic as his nose or the
color of his eyes. No polish or educa-
tional veneer can alter the laugh much
in quality and tone, although it may
soften it. Yet, even then, in an un.
guarded moment the old laugh rings OF
cackles, or explOdes, and the show is
given away.
A man to be avoided, to be passed
by on the other side, is the man who
laughs without smiling. The man who
laughs like a mask OR a ventriloquisr's
puppet. His face wrinkles. He makes
a noise. But he is smileless as !:
rooster when cackling. Take it froE
me, that man is hard, relentless, cruel
malignant.

French soldiers, surrendering
when they found themselves
surrounded, were slaughtered by
the Germans, acting under CON-

men were detailed to attend to the
dead and wounded and we were taken
out of this danger zone. After we
marched about two kilometers up the
river, we were halted, and discovered
that the corps bridge train was In
place. We were told that we would
get the bridge ready on land. Sections
consisting of two pontoOns each were
firmly fastened together, equipped with
anchors, everything else made ready
and then put in the water. The lOca-
ton for the bridge was indicated to
us and we rode with all our might
down to the bridge position. The en-
envy did not see through these tactics
and did not interfere. SO that all the
parts reached the position in a very
short time, where they were fastened
together. In less than twenty min
utes the bridge was completed and
the infantry stormed over it.
The bridge was covered with straw
in order to dull the noise of the troop
movements. At the same time, at diff
ferent places, transports with pOntOOnS
were assisting the army to cross and
before the French found out what had
happened our troops had occupied the
opposite bank and established them
selves firmly there.
The French artillery and infantry
now opened a terrible fire on the pom
toons. Our units, which had defended

The Solo Hon,

The late Capt. Vernon Castle was
very popular with the flying cadets I'M
der him. No teacher of flight was ever
more affectionately regarded.
Captain Castle had a CHEEKY way
with him. A cadet one morning await
ed rather nervously in the flying field
his "solo hop" as the first flight alone
is called. Captain Castle noticing the
cadets perturbation, slapped him gaily
on the shoulder and said:
Cheer up, man. Don't be nervous
You'll come down again. There's no
known instance of an airplane ever
falling to come down"

We landed, and took a new pontoon,
which, by a superhuman effort, we
managed to get across the river sec

two dead and one wounded infantry

bank the infantrymen jumped into the
shallow water and waded to land.
With the two dead left in the boat, we
turned around. Our crew ached as a
result of the continuous rowing and
their hands were soon covered by Bills

on. There was no rest.

Mr.. Goldie's Grief and Gratitude

The following touching note
has been received from P. 0.
Goldie of Detroit, Mich, who was
recently bereaved of his beloved
wife, with whom he had come here
to spend the winter:
"Dear Friends and Scenes OF
our Sunny Southern Village
Home
"That silent voice We never
hear, but always heed, has moved
me to say a grateful and sad fare
well to you for a time; and if it
is true that happy marriage makes
of twain one, the best part of me
must say it for all time.
"These words of thanks for all
that memory holds dear of our
winter home for seven years, are
to all, not excluding the faithful
dogs; and for all we have received
from your generous hearts. But
especially for your appreciation of
and kindness to her in life and
death.-P. 0. COLLIDE"

SO. This is made possible by the
fact that at least 20 younger boys
will be taken in as jr. scouts. This
speaks well for the work here in
Punta Gorda, as Tampa with their
large population, only have 100
members.
This work should have the &C
tive help of every one in the town
as it means the making of better
men after it has made better boys.
The boys are handicapped by
the lack or money, as one of the
laws Of the scouts strictly prohib-
its begging, by the boys, but they
need help and are arranging to
earn it in a number of ways.
They wish through the scout
master, to offer a detail of boys to
any of the churches, or lodges, to
help at any time they are needed.
These services of course, to be
without charge. Next week we
will take up principles that go to
make up the Organization of Boy
Scouts of America, showing the

Clark Adams Writes Concerning the
Closing of Leeds Ave. School.

Editors P~leasantville Press
Kindly permit me to use your col
umns to repudiate the rumor that the
Republican Party in Pleasantville is
responsible for closing the Leeds Ave
nue. School and at the same time to
in regards to this action.
When our School Board considered
closing the School, the Municipal
League had a Committee composed of
Councilmen Chattle and Anderson ap-
pear before the Board of Education
with an appeal for keeping this School
open for the benefit of the pupils in
that portion of our City.
Personally as a citizen and tax-pay-
er, | think it a gross injustice to our
citizens and taxpayers in this section
of our City, to say nothing whatever of
the unnecessary expense and fnconve-
nience to our pupils, many of whom
are youngsters and unable to stand the
exposure at this time of the year due
to waiting on the street for the made
quate means of transportation provid-
ed for them by the School Board, for
which the Board of Education is called
upon to pay 500 per month. If our
Board of Education can stand the ex-
n of 500 a month for said trans
portation, why could this amount not
be applied to the necessary repairs to
the School.
At first the excuse for closing the
school was hat there was no coal for
heating purposes. | wish to state that
one of our prominent citizens offered
to furnish enough wood to properly
heat the building and if necessary he
would have it cut for use, until such
time as the School Board could pro-
vide fuel for the School.
Last week your paper contained a
statement showing that the building
had been condemned by the State
Board. 1t appears very odd that the
State Board would make such a state
ment at this time. 1t seems the Sup
cruising Principal of our Schools, DR..
Whitney, made a trip to Trenton to
make the necessary arrangements for
this inspection by the State Board. If
l understand the duties of Supervising
Principal correctly, duties of this kind
are rather out of his line of work and
it seems up to Il School Board to
take care of such matters.
If our School is in such a dilapidated
condition as reported, why are not the
residents in our section of the City
entitled to have our School repaired,
for we pay our taxes, which include
School Tax, and for which we expect
fair consideration, and if our School
is to be closed, we would more than ap-
preciate a more plausible excuse for
doing so.
