PAYS COOL S11,5OO FOR VASE
parrIsh Watson Takes Fancy for Chi.
nese Art of Seventeenth
Century.

New YOrk.-Oriental art treasures
from the collection of the late Charles
Stewart Smith came to the final SEES
sion of their sale in the American Art
galleries one day recently, and the
leading price of S11 800 was paid by
Parrish Watson for tall, brilliant
sanG-de-boeuf vase of the Lang Yao
genre and bearing seventeenth CEN
fury date of The K'ank-hsi era. 1t is
said to have been the property of the
late Captain Brinkley, U. S. A., a noted
connoisseur in Japan, before being
bought by Mr.. Smith. A tall powder
blue vase of the same era went to J.
Voiran for $500. J. Goetz paid $3.50
for small sang-de-boeuf vase of the
LangYao genre and K'ang-hsi era.
The session yielded SO, 167 and the

SCHOOL GARDENS PAY WELL
Apart From Value of Food Produced,
Young People Get Interested
in the Work.

Every city in the United States
should continue school-garden work
during the coming season, for the
need of food is as great as it was
in 1918, when the value of the prod
ucts grown by American school pupils
was nearly S1S,OOO,OO0. The plan fol-
lowed in New York city has the adj
vantage of years trial under working
conditions, and generally speaking may
be taken as model by school boards
wherever sufficient land is available
for gardens.
The New York board of education
allotted to each pupil a space % by 90
feet, and placed 80 boys on each acre.
A record of the crops was kept, each
boy was required to work at least once
week and to do whatever was neces-
sary on his plat; the board looked
after the blowing and fertilization and
furnished the seeds. and teachers gave
instructions on gardening to the chill
dren while engaged in cultivating the
soil. The crops, of course, were turn
ed over to the young farmers.
The value of the increased food sup
ply thus obtained is great, but the ex-
perience gained by the pupils is worth
more than the price of the vegetables.

lies in the work of the Bausch and
Lomb company of Rochester, N. Y,
which beginning with a capacity OF
1.S00 pairs of field glasses year in
1914 had reached an output of 5000
pairs week in November, 1913, and
was then aiming toward an output of
$500 pairs week by January, 1919.
Similar expansions of facilities were
necessary In many other plants. The
requirement of the forces in France
for the six-power artillery glass alone
was approximately 100000 pairs and
100000 pairs were shipped from the
United States.
Motion-Picture Photography.
The report devotes considerable
space to discussion of the progress
made in motion-picture photography
during the war. BY these means. II
is pointed out, the signal corps has
created "a new kind of history of the
war, a history written entirely in pic
lures for future generations to scan."
Carrier pigeons, never before en-
ployed extensively In the American
army, were widely used in France.
More than 1900 were purchased and
trained for that service and the re-
port adds that "in actual use on the
field the pigeons delivered more than
80 per cent of the messages intrusted
TO them, flying safely through the
heaviest shell and gas barrages.'

Street Trees.

The appearance of city is its chief
material asset. The caliber of city's
people, as whole, is exactly ex-
pressed in the outward and visible
aspect of their municipal home. Now,
there is nothing that gives tone to this
aspect like well-kept parks and we'll
freed streets. More ard more this is
coming to be noted, and increasingly
is attention being given TO the adorn-
ing of city streets with trees. Also
it is seen that to depend on private
initiative in this matter will not do.
What is needed is TO bring the plant
ing, nurture, care and protection of
street trees under municipal control,
and such control concentrated in q
single department specializing in the
one thing, viz, street trees.

Has Charge of Large Activities in
CzeChO- SlOvakia.
Lady Muriei Paaet Tells Of Urgent
Food Needs of Millions of
People.

Paris-A woman has been entrusted
with the big task of organizing and
administering relief work in one or
Europe's new states-CZecho-S iovakia.
Lady Muriel Paget, an Englishwo-
man whose devotion to the Czecho-Slo-
yak cause is well known. arrived here
from Prague after months tour
of the new republic, and outlined
to the Associated Press correspondent
her scheme for the relief of that coun-
try. Her plan, which has the approval
of the CzechO-Slovak authorities, is to
enlist body of able and willing social
workers to train the women of CZecho-
SIovakia in social welfare work. Her
ambition is to interest patriotic Czech
women in America in the welfare Of
their native land.
"There are, roughly, 100000 people
in Czecho- Slovakia today who have just
enough to keep body and soul togeth-
err" Lady Muriel said. Against these
who may be described as the rural
population, there are 100000 who are
below the line of bare existence. They
are, broadly speaking, the industrial
and mining population.
GOOD, most of it from America, Is
now coming into the country through
Trieste at the rate of about hun
dred carloads day; yet 100000 people
in eastern Slovakia are starving, and
even in the better-situated parts the
flour ration is only three pounds a
head per month"

MAKES FOR BETTER CITIZENS
And That Is Only One of the Reasons
Why Home Ownership Should
Be Encouraged.

1t will be great and good thing
for the American people if the thrift
habits formed during the active war
period be turned to the wholesome
business of extending home owner
ship.
The preferred communities in which
to rear and educate families are those
wherein the percentage of home own
ership as compared with tenantry is
large. PrOprietorship, or the process
of acquiring proprietorship, begets an
active individual interest in commune
ty development.
Owning realty implies the payment
of taxes, and every taxpayer naturally
is Jealous that his money paid for
this purpose shall be used to the very
best advantage. He cannot be proper
~ true to his own interests without
using his vote to put into office men
who have high conception of admin
istrative stewardship.
Home ownership contributes to sta
bility Of population and to better
neighborShip. 1t puts family life on
firlner base and raises its standards.
1t makes, therefore, for high quality
of citizenship, and that in turn yields
rich dividends materially and ethically.
Home ownership sharpens the sense
of individual responsibility in COM
munity upbuiding. 1t enhances self
respect and breeds vivid conscious
ness of moral and civic partnership.
