Boston, May 17.-There has never

Mayor Peters desires to encour-
age such planting and to have the
city adopt a definite plan. Conse-
quently the street commission has
decided by advice of the park and
recreation department that trees
should be forty feet apart, and that
the space to be indicated for the
planting should be four feet In di-
of plans for highway Improvement

Trees on this sthoroughfare have

BASEBALL PHRASES
ENRICH LANGUAGE

Baseball. this country's great ma
tional pastime, has come to have a
language of its own. The newspaper
men who follow the fortunes of the
various big league teams through
out the season of activity on the
diamond would not be able to tell
their story IL they did not employ
many, words and expressions whose
meaning is clear enough to the more
enthusiastic fans" but often more
or less obscure to casual followers
of the game. ,.
The New, Universities Dictionary
being offered to the readers of this
paper contains supplementary
dictionary, giving an exhaustive list
of such terms, and defines them so
fully and clearly that anyone after
a little study would be able to read
understandingly the most difficult of
the sporting editors passages.
The study of this list will be found
OF only entertaining but Instructive,
as many of the words treated there
in have been borrowed by writer's
in the, general field of literature
seeking new and effective means of
expression, and their use outside of
the baseball column in the news
paper has come to be regarded as
both proper and in good taste.
The expression "hugging the base"
for instance. in baseball parlance,
means that a runner is keeping close
to base. fearing surprise play;
TT also aptly conveys the idea Of
cautious attitude in any one of
number Of situations that can easily
be imagined. Students Of language

incorporated in The New Univefsi-
ties Dictionary of vital interest.

WILLARD ROADS
Zihlman Tells Chevy Chase
Citizens to Keep Up
Agitation.

Urging the continuation of pub
licity work as a means of securing
increased appropriations for improv-
ing highways in the District, Repre-
sentative Frederick n. Zihlman, of
care of in temporary repairs until
Maryland. in a letter yesterday to
Fred Emory, of the Chevy Chase
Citizens Association. said he be-
Heved such steps would result in
so much attention being given to
Connecticut avenue that the west
side of that highway will be taken
permanent improvements are made.
When it is considered that. from
the Maryland line at Chevy Chase to
the Pennsylvania line-nearIy 200
miles west, there is not a single
mile of road which is in the deplor-
able condition of Connecticut ave-
nue., the negligence of District Of
ficials and of Congress is strongly
he said.
The plan urged by Zihlman pro-
vides for a special fund for road
work, the elimination of an in
tangible property tax on motor We
hicles and an increase in the tag
tax. Mr.. Zihlman believes such a
plan would increase revenue for
road work 80 per cent without add
ing a cent to District taxpayers. 1t
would. however. reach a large num-
Der of people who are here but a
short time and who are not reached
by the intangible property tax.

FOUNDER OF JUNEAU AND
 DAWSON HOSPITALS HERE

Sister Mary Zeno, Alaskas noblest pioneer, founder of the Juneau St. Ann Hospital and the Dawson Hos pital arrived on the Princess Mary last night in company with Assist ant General Mary Alexandrie to visit the scene of her early endeavors.
 After having founded the local St. Ann Hospital under the direction of the Sisters of St. Ann something like thirty years ago, Sister Mary Zeno mushed over the trail in the days of the Klondike excitement and founded the first hospital at Dawson. For a number of years she was Superior at Dawson and then she returned to Juneau where she was in charge of the hospital here. She is affectionately remembered by pi- oneers all over the Territory.
 Sister Mary Zeno lives at the Mother House at Montreal, it could hardly be said in retirement, for it is said that in spite of her advanced years she is still very active. She will visit on the Channel for about ten days before returning South.
 Sister Mary Alexandrie, Assistant General of the Sisters of St Ann is, on a tour or inspection of the various hospitals of the Order in Alaska.
