Landscape Gardener Needed.

There Is agitation in many cities for
public landscape gardener to cooper
ate with the county surveyors In set
ting out trees and shrubbery, laying
out fertile gardens, giving information
to gardeners and tree growers, fight
ing insects, securing black dirt, forest
mold, fertilizer and good seeds.
The average yard is a jumbled-up
mess. A shade tree Is often stuck in
the center Of the back yard. This
ruins all prospects for vegetable gar
den. Fruit trees should be given at
least the back yard In preference to
the front yard.
People don't know just what they
want when they do lay out the back
yard; hence they ought to have the
services of a public landscape garden
er. The side and front yard Is even
worse.

BRAKES SHOULD BE
IN GOOD CONDITION
Importance of Inspection of
Mechanism Is Overlooked.
Sixty Per Cent Of Accidents Could Be
Avoided IL Motorist Would Pay
More Attention to Them
Stop by coasting.

The Importance Of the condition Of
ones brakes cannot be Overempha
sized. There is growing sentiment
among traffic officials in various parts
of the country that some system of
regular brake inspection should be de-
vised. An official of the MotOrtruck
Club of America says that go per cent
of the accidents caused by brake trOu-
BILE could be averted IL motorists would
pay more attention to their brakes and
have them inspected regularly. The
fact that brake bands are out of sight
is one reason assigned for their neg
lect, he says.
Too much use of the brakes is made
by the average driver. This wears
them, racks the mechanism and Injuries
the tires. A driver should learn to
stop by coasting to the point where the
stop is to be made. This may be
learned with a little practice and
should always be done on a level road.
II you find you are going little too
far light pressure on the pedal will
do. This is far better than dashing
up to the spot and then jamming the
brakes to make spectacular stop. Be-
sides wearing the brake lining and at
tachments it racks the tires, sometimes
making the wheels lock and the tires
slide.
In coasting down hill the brakes
should be used alternately. BY chang
ing from service brake to emergency
the first is allowed to cool, prolonging
its life. The longer it lasts the less
cost to the motorist. Changing from
one brake to other does not cool the
drums on the wheels, as one brake OPP
crates on the outside and the other on
the inside of each drum. So it is adj
visable to relieve both brakes as much
as possible.

THOSE OPEN-WINDOW CRANKS
Writer Gives II a. His Opinion That
They Are Actuated Solely by
Selhshness.

One Of the most pronounced nuts.
ances with which seasoned travellers on
railroad trains have to contend Is the
"Open-windOw crank" This fellow
for he is usually male instead Of a
female-perslsts In having his window
open, no matter whether other occu-
pants Of the car dislike 1t or not and
1t usually results In the other passen-
gers thereabout receiving liberal sup
ply Of dust and fine cinders. as well
as enough soft coal smoke to lust them
the remainder Of their lives. These
Open-window cranks are almost always
occasional travellers. 1t Is noticed by
those who have taken the pains to OBJ
serve that the regular traveler-that
Is, the man who rides every day in
sunmer-never opens the window be-
side the seat In which he Is riding. 1t
does not mean any more comfort for
him to do so. as he long ago discov.
cred, but much discomfort instead.
As soon as railroad car starts to
move there Is more or less air stirring
and II the open-window crnnks would
only compose themselves a few mo-
ments they would be fur more COM
Portable than they would to breathe
coal dust, smoke and cinders. But tn.
average occasional traveller will push
up his window as soon as he enters the
car.
1t makes no difference to him how
much the rest of the car suffers-he Is
the only one to be considered. II is a
practice that causes great discomfort
TO passengers who have the necessary
sense to know that everybody is better
