GOOD IDEA THAT is SPREADING
Few Places Now in the Country That
Do Not Recognize Need Of
Beautification.

Time was not so very long ago when
the thought Of civic beauty and the
recognition Of the Importance Of city
Identification belonged to few peo-
pie only.
When the first Of the larger cities
OF Texas set about the process Of
making beauty where only ugliness
had been before, many taxpayers OBJ
jected on the ground that 1t was not
wise to expend public money for such
purposes.
But that larger city persisted. A
landscape architect was employed. A
comprehensive plan for future devel.
opment was drawn up. Appropria-
tons looking far INTO the future were
planned. An educational campaign to
teach the people the need for beauty
was gotten under way. Today that
city is far to the front as an example
Of what may be accomplished in few
years of labor intelligently applied.
Other cities followed. One by one
the centers Of population fell into line.
Directly the smaller cities began to
lay plans for that day when they, too,
shall be large cities. Only recently
the city Of Denison, urged on by pub
lic-spirited citizens, employed a we'll
paid expert to make survey and lay
down comprehensive plan Of artistic
development. And within the next
few months practically every Texas
city will have proved that even In the
stress Of war Texas people recognize
the value Of beauty and the impor-
lance Of the artistic in the everyday
life of the people.-Houston Post.

Kind Of House In Demand.

The last matter influencing cost is
"marketability." To be saleable a
house must measure up to and down to
a standard. Mahogany and quartered
oak wainscoting, plate glass windows
and other similar embellishments do
not increase the selling value to any
great extent. By the time you are
ready to sell the style in these things
will have changed. and they are then
more likely to decrease than increase
the value. Be measurably conven.
tional, and comfortably normal in your
ideas. The best houses are not the
most expensive or the most peculiar.
They are almost always the expression
Of type" and follow the main fea-
lures Of their type, departing from the
normal only in minor ways. This is
the kind Of house that is always in
demand.

WHERE CENSOR is NEEDED
Successful Outcome Of Allotment De.
velopment Depends Largely on In
telIigent Forethought.

The successful outcome Of an al
lotment development as an asset to q
city depends largely upon the type Of
neighborhood established by the real
tor in selling his property.
1t is true, however, that some prop
critics are assured Of ultimate indi-
viduality before development on ac-
count Of their, natural location.
The average allotment, however, is
dependent on the method of sale Of
separate lots and the restrictions i'm
posed upon them, which have an inn
portant bearing on the ultimate up
building.
But the character Of neighbor-
hood is far from assured because Of
imposed restrictions as to price Of
house to be erected, as is shown in
numerous cases about Cleveland.
Perhaps the most apparent reason
for development not proving what
was originally intended are, first, that
the building operations Ito set the
pace, so to speak) were not carried on
by the developer to show what was
expected, and, second, the censoring
Of building plans. Cleveland Leader.

Your War Garden.

Don't rob yourself Of flowers even
in war times. There is no better anti
dote for the war horror, and there is
no reason why the vegetable garden
should not be bordered with such
plants as gladioli, dahlias, sunflowers
and various other ANNALS. Indeed
some Of the vegetables themselves have
beautiful blossoms. The scarlet run
ner bean and the sugar pea, for ex-
ample. have beautiful flowers and
both are excellent vegetables. Old
time gardens are often bordered with
parsley, and most of the herbs when
grown in little beds are delightful to
look upon.

WILSON ATTACKED
FOR INSINCERITY
Former AttaChe at Washington
Writes Insulting Political Article

The Hague, April 13.--Lieutenant
Won Herwarth, the former military
attache at Washington, writing in the
Vossische Zeitung, argues that when
President Wilson's speech was deliv-
cred in Baltimore on April it was
o'clock in the morning in Berlin,
and yet the Berlin morning papers of
the eth published q resume of the
speech. The paper says this is q
technical impossibility, that resume
must have been in London on the 9th
of April. and that this is proof that
Wilson must first have submitted his
uttcranCes to London.
"Is it an intellectual question? ?" it
goes on. "One might suppose that
the responsible leader of q state would
speak from the depth Of his convit-
tons when he speaks to the whole
world. or at least if he wishes to be
taken seriously. B" 1t would
appear that the American people
highly overrated this man when they
chose him as leader. Those who have
lived long enough in America, to
know the people and country know
that there are plenty of serious PEG.
pie, honest men who fight for their
convictions and patriots whose coun-
y
qualities have the necessary ability
and force and, above all, the will to
serve their country. Wilson does not
belong to them"
The paper charges that the presi-
dent is insincore and even sinks to
the level of political Condottiere
when he speaks of the English Tt
refers to the time when the president
was first elected, and declares that
tariff reforms showed its effect seven
months later by 200, 900 men being
out of work in Chicago, although
everything changed when the war
broke out
Like a dry sponge the Union
soaked up Entente contracts" it con-
tinues. and began to make muni-
tons"
The writer even alleges that Eng
Ind, who was then preparing for
war strove to influence the elections
in favor of Wilson.
'"Thosc who assisted at the election
campaign could not doubt it," he
says. ESPECIALLY those who heard
Am hassador Bryces sigh of relief
V hen Wilson was elected were con-
1lnced"
The paper says that in spite of the
pretended anmosity of the Entente
press against Wilson in the 1917
campaign England has played her
hand and Wilson's words about keep
ing the country out of war were a
as he never intended to do
this. Elihu Root said in 1914 that
America would help England out
should she get in a corner. The pres
ident's election words were spoken to
decide the country and succeeded,
Now Wilson shows himself an ac-
complete OF England, The red thread
of hypocrisy runs through all his
speeches and his last speech is no
exception"
