Paris.-The secretariat of the

document entitled THE Work Ac-

1921" enumerating various questions

the limitation of ornaments, and
third, creation of an international
commission to study use of the block
ade as an economic weapon.
The three foregoing are mentioned
as measures destined to prevent

ADVANTAGE In OwnIna Home.

Aside from the manifest advantage
Of owning q house when houses are at
premium, the family which owns its
own home strikes roots deeper into the
soil than do those who move from one
part Of the city to another as convent
ence dictates. Their children go to the
same school and the same Sunday
school year after year. Teachers and
friends have time to grow interested In
them and to make plans for their i'm
provement or pleasure. The heads Of
the family take their duties as citizens
seriously, because bad government
reacts on them directly in the form of
increased taxes which they see and
feel. OF course, the rentpayer. pays
taxes indirectly. but so p1any other
elements complicate the ratesof rent
ais that he hardly thinks OF taxation
as one Of them. The home owner, too,
takes a greater interest In local i'm
provements, because he expects to
stay in the neighborhood long enough
to get the benefit Of them. Home own
ing involves responsibilities, but the
man who faces responsibilities Is us
ually q stronger man, q better hus-
band and a better citizen than the
man who lodges them.

WOULD SET OUT NUT TREES
Idea of New York Man for Practical
and Beautiful Adornment Of
tho Highways.

A correspondent writing to the edi.
tor Of New York paper suggests
thought that has probably occurred TO
very few persons interested In the
adOrnment Of American highways with
trees, but that may be the forerunner
of a new idea in such decoration, re-
marks the Christian Science Monitor.
His suggestion, In brief, looks to the
planting of productive as well as sim
ply ornamental trees, preferably nut
trees, because the common fruit trees,
having been cultivated for generations,
are more or less spoiled children, re-
quirlng continued cultivation If they
are to be happy" Such planting, he
says, would combine the Greek idea Of
utility and beauty; yet his own expe-
rience with fruit trees on the border
of a private estate suggests diff
Guilty, for the trees were ruined by the
needless way In which a miscellaneous
public gathered the fruit. Nuts would,
perhaps, present less temptation, and
there Is, Of course, hope that the pub
lie, once 1t individually realized that
identifying the common highway was
one important function of the trees,
would be more careful in it's treatment
of them. Meantime, the setting out Of
any trees at all is an important step
In the right direction.

Is no way to figure out exactly what
this would cost the state. but as there
were approximately 10000 Michigan
