Trees Public Properly.

The pioneers planted forest OF
shade trees when there was scarcely
an argument for their planting-when
they were hemmed in and surrounded
by virgin forest, writes G. f. Bley In
the American Forestry Magazine OF
Washington. Today we are enjoying
the fruits of. their devotion, wisdom
and forethought. Shall we do less
when there is 81 much more need-fol
the rising generations and for those
yet unborn? Not every husbandman
has appreciated the value Of shade
trees, witness the ruthless cutting
down and making into cordwood o1
whole lines OF noble, stalwart sugar
maplesl A legal enactment In every
state providing that every tree now
or hereafter standing within the legal
road boundary shall be considered

MUST HAVE PERFECT TEETH
Why It 10 Important for Young Women
to Look Well to That Requisite
OF Beauty.

No less an authority than DR.. Hol-
lister Of the dental division Of Penn
sylyania state department Of health,
states that ''the young woman Of to-
day If she wishes to retain the affec-
tons Of a man must have q cleaning
set of perfect teeth, because no young
man cares to sit opposite a young
woman whose teeth are crooked and
unsightly. Certainly no young woman
can make the impression she desires
II her teeth are a blemish on an other
wise attractive countenance," said DR..
HOLSTER. "What young man, no mat
ter how much he may like q young
woman, will long look at unsightly.
ill-kept and crooked teeth without be-
coming Indifferent to their owner?
The young woman Of today must have
a set of cleaning teeth in her mouth
and they must be regular and show
the attention that their wner gives
them. The young woman thus equipped
either by nature or mans handiwork
is the one best-fitted to retain the at
fections of a man."

TAKING CITY INTO COUNTRY
England Putting Into Effect scheme
Which Seems TO q. Along Lines
Of Common eenst.

In England, instead Of developing
suburban communities, they are trying
the scheme Of taking the city into the
country, TO the benefit Of the city and
doing no harm to the country. Every
new development In England VIII be
practically q garden city, with plenty
Of open spaces, recreation grounds,
golf courses, well-placed factories and
Industrial sections, and healthful resi-
Dental quarters. The worker will
have his patch Of ground, and the
usual smoke and CRIME Of Industrial
communities will be nonexistent.
Town-planning schemes, many Of
them conceived before the new Idea
was generally adopted, were naturally
much delayed by preoccupation during
the years Of war with more urgent
matters and since the war by d hous-
ing scheme which occupied the full at
tention Of the technical stats Of the
local authorities. For the best results
town planning should have preceded
housing. Owing to the extreme urgency
Of the latter, however, 1t had to 60 for
ward first. @
In all building schemes and pro
posals for Improvement there is, occa-
siOnally, injury done to owners Of
property by the invasion Of rights they
have enjoyed for many years. Com
pensation In such cases Is payable to
the injured owner. No claim can be
made, however, for injury to buildings
erected, or improvements made subse-
quent to the scheduling OF the area for
town planning. And the further Inn
portant provision is made That au-
thorities can claim one-half of the in
e in value OF property consequent
upon the town-planning scheme. The
government now realizes the CONNER
cial value of town planning and has
no intention Of creating private for
tune by it's Intervention.

New coIdfield In Africa.

Another goldfeld has been discov-
cred In Eastern Akin which promises
untold wealth. King Oforiatta, who
was educated on European lines, first
secured the passage Of laws similar
to those adopted i'm South Africa to
protect the country from exploitation.
The king then proceeded with his in
Yestigations, but meanwhile a coloni-
u government survey party unex-
pectedly discovered diamonds a year
ago. Oforiatta, after a year Of re-
search work, now claims that he has
discovered that gravel deposits which
have been worked for gold for CEN

Improving Rural Housing.

The country life problem as a whole
cannot make consistent Roadway in
humanizing and socializing farm life,
SO long as the work elements Of farm
ing smother the farm home. That
farm people get accustomed to the
proximity Of ever-present occupational
things and processes, means only that
hardening invades the precincts of the
farm mind and soul as it invades the
farm house. A rural housing social
conscience will probably at no distant
day transf1gure living on the farm and
give rural America an air Of architec-
tural grace and land-art beauty

BURN UP uNsIGHTLY RUBBISH
Simple contrivance Will Solve Many.
Problems That Have Probably
Long Puzzled Housewife.

What to do with paper trash, rags
that have outlived their usefulness, pa
per boxes and a hundred other things
that accumulate and which are known
as trash is a problem for every house
keeper. Yet 1t can be very easily
solved. Trash can, OF course, be burned
In the kitchen range, provided 1t is a.
wood or coal burner, but it fills the
s%tovepipe with SCOT, necessitating fire.
Quent cleanings, and makes an unpleas-
ant smell and a great many ashes to.
carry out. AS for making a bonfire
outside, that can never be done unless
some n watches it closely, and even
then STUFF blows about, littering the
lawn, and the fire leaves an unsightly
black spot.
A rubbish burner which is very In
conspicuous car be placed In the back
yard, is perfectly safe and answers in
an entirely satisfactory way the ques-
ton, "What shall / do with this?''
which comes up every cleanup day
either in the house or In the yard. It
is nothing but q woven wire container.
A piece Of woven wire fencing long
enough to make a circular receptacle
two and a half to three feet In diane
ter would answer the purpose. Wire
the ends together, making It circular
in form. Make a cover for it by put
ting another piece OF, the woven wire
over an iron hoop. Then weight It
down, or anchor It IN some way SO
that the wind will not blow It over or
it will not be tipped easily.
Such a rubbish burner makes out
door burning even on windy days safe,
and gives q q place in which to put
rubbish whenever found. Wet things
can be placed in It and left to dry out
in the sun and then burned.

SCIENCE HAS OVERCOME
DREADED POTATO BUG

sCIENCm HAS OVERCOME
DREADED POTATO BUG
The Potato Magazine calls at
tention to the fact that certain
regions Of the upper peninsula
Of Michigan have been virtually
freed Of that notorious pest, the
potato bug, BY the operations OF
9 tiny parasitic fy which lays
Its eggs upon the striped beetle.
Grubs Matched from these eggs
bore into the potato bugs body
and eat out his inside works.
II 1t were not for parasites
that prey upon the potato bug.
It would scarce be possible to
grow any potatoes in this coun-
try. despite all the farmer could
do to poison the insect with
paris green.
That destructive beetle was
originally native to mountain
districts Of Colorado, where it
fed on Z wild variety Of potato
plant called the sand bur" It
Is supposed to have been car
ried into Missouri by the cattle
trafnc, and In 1894 1t crossed the
Mississippi river. In the early
seventies 1t had crossed the De-
troit river and Lake Erie was
literally alive with potato bugs,
passengers on ships or whatever
else would keep them afioat.
They reached the Atlantic coast
In 1873, and the beaches were
soon swarming with them. YES
sells were boarded by them in
such numbers that matches had
to be battened down.
At that period and for some
time afterward much alarm was
felt lest the potato would be-
come an extinct vegetable in the
United States. But nature has
q way Of dealing with such mis-
chiefs. and before long para
site enemies Of the beetle null
tiplied In such numbers as to
make possible it's control. 4
The above : mentioned fly,
which has done such good work
In Michigan, will be colonized In
other parts of the country, and
may solve the potato bug prob
lem for good and aIl.-Philadel-

WHY
Few Persons Can Tell Truth.

The man who AN tell the story Of
his own life In such 4 way as to give.
q picture Of the age In which he lives
Is comparatively rare, Uncle Dudley
writes II the Boston Globe. To be:
gin with, only q strikingly candid and
courageous person can tell the truth,
about himself at all; the impulse to
decant only the honey and omit the
vinegar d well nigh irresistible.
Strongly religious men have given
such testimony as an act Of faith. The
confessions .of st. Augustine are N
ease IN point, and those of Tolstoy are
another. The autobiography OF Ben
venuto Cellini 10 an equally striking
example Of an utterly irreligious man

about himself-and, incidentally. CIV

screen, committed matters to writing

called '.'The Egotist," in which he e

read the manuscript aloud to Robert
Louis Stevenson, who was also a can

War dogs have not been forgotten

In England to place a monument in

DRY Of the dogs that played important
parts in the great war. The suggest
ed memorial may take the form of
four sculptured dogs representing va
rious breeds and facing the four
points Of the compass. The movement
has been received with considerable
approval and it is likely that there
will be little trouble in raising thu
money necessary to carry the project
through. This ~well-merited recog-

by dogs is in line with the placing
of a tablet in memory Of the horses
