MEMORIAL HIGHWAYS
(Miaml Herald.

CMlaml Heralu.J
the American Forestry Association is just now
undertaking to interest the public in the plant
ing OF trees in public places, as well as in its
larger work OF encouraging the reforesting OF
areas, which have been denuded by the axe Of
the lumberman. The association is particularly
interested in having trees set out as memorials,
and suggests that it would be a gracious tribute
to the men who gave their lives in war if in every
section there might be created Roads of Remem-
brance"
There is something rather alluring in the idea.
Memorials too often ugly, conventional ex-
amples of poor art, turned out largely by
chnery which, while they serve the purpose of
memorials, always insult the esthetic sensbilitio3
of the people. This would not be true of trees.
Living memorials to those whose memories are
eternally green in the hearts OF their cOunrymen
What could be finer than this?
The movement has already brought forth some
results. The beginnings have been made on sew
eral memorial highways which will stand through
the years tributes to the honored dead.
Aside from the sentimental interest that such
tree-lined highways would possess they would
have merit tending to the creation of the beau
ty which is desirable in all public works. The
good roads movement is widespread. All over the
land fine highways are taking the place of the
IL
is to make transportation easier and safer. 1t is
purely ultiitarian.
There is no reason, however, why good road
should not also be beautiful road. This result
can be easily and quite inexpensvely secured by
the cooperation of the people of any community
1t is not difficult task to plant few trees along
a highway, and the and air will do the rest
Some indication of the way in which roads may
be beautifed may be at spots along some of
the highways of Dade county. The Australian
pine, an Importation into this section, and a tree
rather lacking in any individual beauty, has been
planted along short strips of road at a number of
points, and the avenues thus created always elicit
the enthusiasm of those who drive through them
1t is quite possible that the Australian pine is not
the tree best adapted to this purpose here, but
the much more extensive planting of some such
tree along our roads would add greatly to the
pleasure of driving over the roads.
1t might not be bad idea, in working out the
plan for the county beautiful, to provide for a
great memorial highway, road of remembrance"
as tribute to the men of this county who fell
in the war. Perhaps the great avenue of royal
poincianas suggested by Henry Turner Bailey in
one of his recent lectures might be made such
memorial.

SATURDAY NIGHT

This old world has wagged along much the
same as usual during these last seven days. few,
very few, Of the mortals who inhabit the sphere
knowing or caring that Old Sol has been cutting
up capers by violent eruptions and solar storms TO
which are ascribed the vagaries Of weather. We
are told that the wetness that has marked the
spring months in the North is due solely to these
disturbances while other authorities blame the sun
for the dryness in the South. So any way you
take it, the sun is responsible for all our weather
ills. On general principles it might we'll be expect
ed that heat hurricanes on the sun surface, fol-
lowed by upheavals of the molten mass extending
thousands Of feet out into space, would do some
thing to somebody. But those sections Of Florida
that have been experiencing such an unprecedented
drouth are this week thankful that to some degree,
at least, the drouth has been broken. Summer
showers have set in here and there over the land
with the prospect that these showers will become
general as the days come and go.
Nobody can blame the sun for the breaking up
of the Genoa conference That historic consulta-
ton of nations which came to close in Italy yes
terlay is not altogether barren of accomplishment
no matter what the enemies of Woodrow Wilson
say. Never in the worlds history has there been
a gathering so little understood and so wilfully
msrepresented Despite that section of the press
of the United States which characterizes the con-
ference as a rank failure, the wcrd of some of the
great leaders such as Premier Lloyd-George that
much has been accomplished, may we'll be accept
ed as the truth. Whatever of encouragement may
have been experienced, came from the enemies of
peace ard world order and not from the friends
of humanity OF course Russia was the thorn in
the flesh, refusing to accept the viewpoint of the
other nations regarding continuance CT present
forms of government insisting that all settlements
due to the World War should be based on the
principles of Soviedsm which means, CT course The
naturalization of all property. Therefore The
foreign nations interested lii Russian Investments,
have not been able to see their way clear to lose
these investments urging Russia to make excep-
lions There are, of course, ether factors enter
ing into the situation that will require careful ham
ding later en-. That is why The Hague confer
ence is to follow the Genoa conference; in fact,
there is to be only an nermisson to allow the par
Elephants to balance their ledgers and ascertain
just how the world accounts stand Further prog
ress at The Hague is to be expected. The most
favorable feature of this movement is the deter
mination of the great leaders TO persist until all
obstacles are overcome If the peoples of the earth
want peace, they can have it if they want war,
they can have it.
