APPEAL FOR STREET TREES
Los Angeles Newspaper Recognizes Their Value in Residential Streets
 of the Community.

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, if controlled by the same commission, would cause q division of interest. whereas the opposite should obtain. If one body controls the two, which shall be the tail and which the dog? Today a majority of the commission may favor upbuilding our parks, and little realize or recognize the neceS- sity or desirability for street trees. In two years changes in the personnel might put the shoe on the other foot.

Syracuse Aids in Good Work.

Syracuse is community that has lately joined the shade-tree fraternity, and, moreover, is working at it. Syra- cuse university has q school of for estry, recently established, including the first definite course on street silvi- culture. By means of it's extension de- partment 1t is aiding in New York state in the shade-tree idea. The city has recently appointed a city forester, graduate of that school-a good be- ginning. The park superintendent and the city forester have exclusive control of existing trees and power to set out new paintings. With proper apprecia- tfon of trees as a decorative factor and of the splendid possibilities of that city set on its seven hills, We may ex- pect results if the municipal authori- ties will grant sufficient funds. At present they give about $7,000 per year for the maintenance of their 45,OO0 trees, which means about 15 cents per tree per annum. Much of this is spent in taking down dead trees. (The park department of the city of Paris pays S1,25 per tree per annum; the city of Newark, 50 cents.)

PUT IT SQUARELY UP TO DAD
Young Son of Famous Member of "Vie- ilantes" Frankly Considered His
 Father Stacker.

Ellis Parker Butler, the author, who lives at Flushing, and is devoting his energy to aiding in the successful prosecution of the war, does not bear an enviable reputation for patriotism in his own household. Mir Butler has been writing for the Thrift and War stamps campaign.
 MT. Butler is the father of twin sons of tender age. Several nights ago he returned home tired after a days work for the Red Cross and took his seat at the head of the table. After they had finished their dinner. the twins produced their Thrift stamps and started to count them.
 Dad, look at all the stamps I have" said one of the youngsters. T have 200. Look at brothers pile; he has more than l."
 Mir. Butler nodded approyingly to Mrs. Butler and they both smiled. There was silence for a minute, then one of the twins looked up and ex- claimed: Dad, why don't you do some thing patriotic?'

SHE GOT COMPOSERS MIXED
Queen Victoria's Error Must Have Caused Mascagni to Pass an Un-
 comfortable Few Minutes.

Sometimes when great parsonage essays musical criticism embarrassing errors arise. Once Queen Victoria invited Maseigni, the composer of "Cavallera Rusticana," to play for her at Windsor castle. When the musician was at the piano her majesty said;
 Il am passionately fond of one of the numbers of your opera
 Mascagni played the Intermezzo.
 "No," said the queen, that is not the melody mean"
 Mascagni played the Prelude.
 That's not it. either"
 Mascagni played the dramatic Duet
 The queen became almost inpatient "Pll help you to remember it." she said, and hummed a few measures.
 With increasing consternation Mas cagni listened as the queen sang the Prologue to Leoncavallos I Pagliacci!
 Le Gaulois, in telling the story, does not say whether the musician informed the queen that she had made a mis- take.--Youth's Companion.
