TREES TO ADORN HIGHWAYS
Common Sense Plan That Has Been
Accepted With Enthusiasm by
Many States and Cities.

"When it comes to a memorial to
the sOldier-dead, what on earth could
begin to equal fine parkway with its
array of trees of remembrance? asks
American Forestry (Washlngton). A
thing of beauty and JOY for many
generations, it will keep green the
memory of the heroes of the great con-
flict and be as we'll source of comfort
to the living, argues this magazine, and
adds eloquently:
by all means let us have trees Of
remembrance. Let us have them
abundantly and for every possible
memorial. They are the true monE-
ments, the living memorials God has
provided to halIow the hottest men,
cries of every person and Of every
race"
Much Is being done all through the
country to this good end. Chambers
OF commerce and similar organizations
have been quick to see the value of
the idea. In many places fruit and
nut-bearing trees are being planted in
memorial highways The state Of
Michigan. for example. will plant its
Victory highway from Port Huron to
Chicago VITA apple trees. One can
easily picture how such a highway
will look when those trees are In full
bloom. A cross of living trees along
roads county-aeng and countrywide 10
planned by BiBbs county, Ca. as her
memorial Hamilton. Ohio, proposes
for her tribute a beautiful boulevard
along river, planted WITH trees
Brooklyn. too, plans to honor his
teric road as memorial bGulevard.-
