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-uI mess. A shade tree is often stuck in the center of the back yard. This Iuins all prospects for a vegetable gar den. Fruit trees should be given al least the back yard in preference tc 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 CT. The side and front yard is ever worse.

DULUTH SUBURB IS A MODEL
Carefully Planned and Laid Out, 1t Furnishes an Object Lesson for
 Other Communities.

In Morgan Park, suburb of Duluth, owned and operated by a subsidiary of the United States Steel corporation for the use and benefit of employees, the government has found food for reflec- ton with respect to town planning and housing. It is analysed by Leifur Mag nusson, housing expert of the bureau of labor statistics, in the bureaus monthly review, wherein Morgan Park is described as "an example of mod ern industrial suburb intended to serve as nucleus of permanent industry" Tt has been developed" it seems, lin an orderly and systematic manner. town-planning principles have been ob- served in it's layout, educational and recreational facilities have been pro vided, and houses of a permanent and substantial character erected.'
 The latter, indeed, are of concrete. though variety has been secured and the usual monotony of company towns avoided. There is more than the av. craze range in the number of rooms and character of dwellings provided in the different designs in order that both high and low paid labor may be ac- commodated.
 In addition to the variety of houses to meet all purses there are boarding houses for the unmarried employees. Also, the taking of roomers and board CTS in private families is permitted to a limited extent. No land or houses have been sold, the title to the whole townsite remaining in housing and maintenance company organized for the purpose. Special blocks have been set aside for business purposes. as well as for recreation and parks, and a block has been given by Duluth for a school site.

 But we are learning. The pioneers from the city to the suburbs have gradually created the things they needed to make life liyable from so- ciai as well as from q material stand point, and now life in any up-to-date suburban locality is as full and com plete as in the most favored city.
 Take my own locality. We have golf, tennis and squash clubs. We have literary, musical and art socie- ties. We have churches of the leading denominations. We have assembly rooms for public and semipublic meet ings. During the year there are nu- mefous public entertainments = con- certs, lectures, amateur theatricals. where the audiences are like one large family gathering, and for the idle eve nings We have the inevitable moving picture house. We are g minutes from the subway station at Grand Central, the heart of the club and amusement district of New York.
