LET GROUNDS HAVE PURPOSE
Plants and Foliage Should Be Do
signed to Emphasize Dominant
Points OF the House.

For a colonial house the good, old
fashioned plants should be used: box,
lilacs, syringas and snowberries, as
shrubs; grapes, wistaria and wood
bine, as vines, or English ivy against
brick. Use them not in the meaning
less masses so popular in modern
planting, but simply, with the severity
and restraint that are characteristic
of the colonial period. The planting
should emphasize the dominant points
Of the house. Frame the entrance
with clump of lilacs, or more formally
with round bushes Of box. Use vines,
not to cover the whole house, unless
the house is so ugly that 1t must be
covered but to soften hard line, to
accentuate the beauty Of chimney
to make a porch part of the house, to
lend color and texture to wall.
'1.ast fall I saw an old brick house
at the edge Of town, half covered with
English ivy, and with flame OF wood
bine running to the roof" says the
writer of this article in House Beau
tiful. "Great leafless clumps of snow
berry on either side of the door still
held their plump berries, beautifully
white against the red Of the brick.
That was all the planting, but it was
a picture that has remained with me-"

The City Beautiful.

We can't have too many pretty
towns or too many pretty homes in
town and country. Progress along
this line1is being made annually and
with increasing interest among pro-
gressive town builders and home own
ers. There is no use for shabbiness
Shabbiness connotes Incidence and In
difference. A house or a town whlch
indicates careless occupants, citizens
concerned only for primitive necessl-
ties, is not one to attract the sort OF
people that energetic people want 70
know. Poverty is no excuse for snap'
biness. The humblest dwelling does
not need to be shabby. Shabbiness Is
carelessness, not tlimsiness. Many
fiimsy little cottage or cabin exhibits
quality that is far superior to shap-
bness. 1t is the careless, untenanted,
dilapidated, apathetic look to man
home, mans town, or mans cioth-
ing that gives it shabbiness. one
needn't be shabby in oyeralls any
more than in tailor-made suit.-Dal-

NOT A NATION OF RENTERS
People of Country Have by No Means
Lost Ambition to Own Their

Is home owning a lost ambition7
Are we becoming nation of cliff
dwellers and renters? Not if we put
faith in the figures compiled by the
lately established bureau of housing
of the Department of Commerce.
OF the 1S cities of more than 100000
population but 20 show loss in per-
centage of homes owned between 1910
and 1920 (the figures are from the
census bureau) and the losses are
more than offset by the gains Of the
other 49, OF the 20 where losses were
recorded four-Detroit, Cleveland, st.
Louis and Los Angeels-are in the
first ten cities of population.
Although in New York more homes
are owned than in any other city the
percentage is the lowest, but 12.7, yet
even here the percentage has grown
from Ill in 1910 and 12.1 in 1900.
Manhattan presents the most striking
situation. With more than half a
million homes, less than 11,WO were
owned, little more than 2 per cent.
If home owning be form of civic
virtue. then Des MOines may gather

BODIES Of Al
MINERS FOUND
VICTIMS OF ARGONAUT HORROR
FOUND HuDDLED BEHIND
BARRIER.
DIED AFTER NIGHT OF FIRE
Valiant Fight of Rescuers, Who Dug
For Three Weeks in Hope of Find
ing Comrades Alive, Ends in
Bleak Tragedy.

Jackson, Cal-All AZ of the miners
entombed in the Argonaut mine Aug.
27, are dead, it has been announced Of
ficially.
A note found on one of the bodies
indicated that all the men had died
within five hours of the beginning of
the fire August 27, officials said.
ALL the miners were found behind
the second of two bulkheads they had
built in a cross-cut, 1850 feet down in
the mine. Byron o. Pickard, chief OF
the federal bureau OF mines for this
district, was the first man to go be-
hind the bulkhead, and he discovered
the bodies. The note read:
"3 am. Gas bad
The mine officials declared that the
condition of the cross-cut behind the
bulkhead was such that life could not
have been sustained for more than
five hours.
The bodies were found piled one on
top of another, and decomposition had
progressed so rapidly that Identified
ton would be impossible.
The mine officials said that the ac-
tions of the men, as evidenced by the
bulkheads they built and other mat
ters, indicated they had died within
five hours after being entombed.
The officials declared the mute evil
dence of the mems struggle showed
they were At of the most cool-headed
men imaginable.
Sixteen of the entrapped miners re-
moved their clothes to provide mate
rial for stuffing the cracks in the
wooden barrier, hastily constructed,
which was found early this evening.
Then another barrier was built OF
rock, earth and debris. However, the
gas and fumes from the fire appar-
emily seeped through the first bulk
head and the men fled from the site
where they were building the second
one to start third, farther on.
This third attempt to wall off the
death-dealing gas was made at the
end of the 4,350-foot crosscut in the
Argonaut, but the fact that only a
bare start was made at it proved, the
mine officials said, that the deadly car
bon monoxide and the suffocating car
bon dioxide had reached it and per-
formed their fatal office before the 4.
unfortunates could raise even an ex-
cuse for barrier.
Mine officials said that death had
come to the entombed men painless!y.
The gases, they said, would produce
first lethargy, then coma and final
ly death.
jackson as whole took the tragic
news calmly and courageously. The
genera topic Of conversation. except
in the immediate family circles of the
dead was arrangements for the fu.

HARDING VETOES
SOLDIER BONUS
PRESIDENT SENDS BONUS BILL
BACK TO CAPITOL WITHOUT
SIGNATURE.
QUESTIONS REWARD POLICY
Refuses to Sign Measure Because 1t
Fails to Give Source of Revenue
and Because It Is Wrong
in Principle.

Washington.-Exercisi his veto
power in emphatic manner, President
Harding dealt the soldiers bonus bill
what appears to be death blow. He
not only rejected the bill, but his
message, explaining his act, ques-
toned the policy Of rewarding pa
triotic service with cash.
Nothing short of a political mira
Gle can save the bill It's supporters.
enthusiastic in their optimism for two
wears, have now practically given up
hope of miracles.
The house of representatives un-
doubtedly will override the veto by
a wide majority, but in the senate
the anti-bonus forces appear to have
control by a slender majority OF two
or three votes. There appears to be
no present prospect Of break In
their lines.
Only 33 votes, counting pairs, are
needed to sustain the veto, and the
careful canvass indicated that there
would be 35 or SO votes to support
the president.
President Harding vetoed the bonus
bill and sent it back to congress for
two main reasons, which he set forth
at the outset of his message:
First, because it failed to provide
revenue to defray it's Expense.
Second, because, he said, "it estab
fishes the very dangerous precedent
of creating a treasury covenant to
| pay, which is putting burden, vari
ously estimated at between four and
five billions upon the American peo
pie, not to discharge an obligation
which the government always must
pay, not to bestow a bonus which the
soldiers themselves, while serving II
the world war, did not expect"
He further declared that "a peace
bestowal on the ex-service men, as
though the supreme offering coulc
be paid for with cash, is perversioT
of public funds, a reversal of the pol
icy which exalted patriotic service II
the past, anu suggests that future de
fense is to be inspired by compensa
tion rather than consciousness Of duty
to flag and country"
Mr.. Harding took occasion to cal
attention again to the money spent
by the government on disabled vet
Grams, which he said in the course Of
time would exceed $25, 5,000,000,000. He
| predicted that in the years to come
! congress would be called upon to ap
! propriate money for pensions to worlG
war veterans, and added that this
would cost more billions than I ven
ture to suggest" The governments
ability to meet this prospective out
| lay would be seriously impaired, he
argued, If the bonus bill became a
| law.
The house heard the reading Of the
veto message in complete silence
| When the clerk had concluded, there
was feeble ripple of applause, prin
cipa!ly from the republican side. 1t
was plain that the house was ready to
| pass the bill promptly over the presi-
dents veto, but upon motion of Rep
resentative Mondell (Wyoming), re-
publican leader, action was deferred
until tomorrow, "to give members an
opportunity to study it and to enable
absentees to return to Washington"

well-known Mississippi republican,
who is United States marshal for the

candidate for United States senator,
raises the point as to the steps neo
essary to get his name on the OH
cial ballot at the November election.
The day for primary nominations
having passed, following the law as
to state and county offices, it would
be necessary for Mr.. Cook to get MS

qualified electors from each of the 81
counties of Mississippi. Mr.. Cook IS

plan for Growth Of Town.

The crooked streets of Boston grew
m along old-time cow paths. Clues,
more recently founded, took note OF
the inconvenience and laid their
streets out in a straight line, though
that was about all they did by way OF
ADVANCEMENT.
Cities now discover that traffic con-
eestion is due mainly to narrow
streets. Yet they go ahead laying out
more larrow streets. 1t Is Iooiisl
policy, especially foolish in small
towns that may some day be giant
cities.

they are rather difficult to transplant.
