ton of trees as decorative factor

pect results If the municipal authori-
ties will grant sufficient funds. At
present they give about $1,000 per year
for the maintenance of their $4,000
trees. which means about Is cents per
tree per annum. Much of this Is spent
in taking down dead trees. (The park
department of the city of Paris pays
$1,25 per tree per annum; the city

WAY TO CLEAN RUSTY STEEL
Brush With Paste Composed Of Cyan.
ide Of Potassium, CASTLE Soap,
Whiting and Water.

Steel which has become rusty can be
cleaned by brushing it with a paste
composed as follows: Half an ounce
Of cyanide Of potassium, half an ounce
of CASTLE soap, an ounce Of whiting
and water sufficient to form a paste
The steel should be washed after the
paste has been applied, in solution
of half an ounce Of cyanide Of potas-
stun in two ounces Of water. On the
other hand, rust may be prevented on
steel parts by applying the following
mixture with brush, just as If it were
varnish: One part caoutchouc, 16
parts turpentine. These ingredients
must be dissolved in a gentle heat and
then eight parts Of boiled Oil should be
added. The whole is now mixed by
bringing them to boiling heat. This
material may be removed by the use
of turpentine.

APPEAL FOR STREET TREES
Los Angeles Newspaper Recognizes
Their Value In Residential Streets

Los Angeles is more in need of
street trees than ever before, declares
the Times of that city. We have late
ly annexed territory far more in need
of shade trees than any other part of
the city. There are miles of bare
streets now, and as subdivision comes,
which will be soon, there must be
planted thousands of shade trees.
This work should be done only under
municipal control and the only de-
batable question Is how.
In a city so large, having a mag
nificent park area, the park commits
sion has all it may easily do in the
proper development and maintenance
Of the parks. And it must not be sup
posed that the two lines are identical
in their demands, in either theory or
practice, or in necessary technical
knowledge. These local problems, IL
controlled by the same commission,
would cause division Of interest,
whereas the opposite should obtain.

against them.

Gent. The submarine ordered YES

The U-boat came alongside the YES

into the open hatch. The baby" ex-
ploded and blew out the bottom of the
submarine. The woman" was deco

The correspondent says that the first
mention of mystery ship was in the
case of the Baralong, which on August
10. 1915. sank U-boat after the tor
pedoing OF the British liner Arabic.
II will be remembered, he says, that

allegations afforded a typical example
Of German mentality. for they ignored
the fact that in every case the U-boat

1t should not be forgotten, he con-
