TREES IN BUSINESS STREET
Writer Combats the More or Less Ac
cepted Idea That They Are
Somehow Out of Place.

One of the characters in an early
day American romance of the time
when the Stamp net was causing all
kinds of trouble, is recorded as de-
claring that New York never would be
a real business city because Broadway
and Maiden lane were lined with trees,
remarks the Indianapolis Star. The
Vanvrooms, the S~tuyvesants, the
Artavelts, and other early settlers OF
the country saved fine trees about
their homes, on the village green's,
along the country roads, and In the
fields. But one will see no trses now
adays on Broadway, and Maiden lane
has been transformed from the pleas
ant, tree-bordered region of Dutch
homes with flower gardens into the
busiest wholesale jewelry district In
America, If not in the world.
Beauty and comfort gave way to the
inroads Of commerce, not only In New
York, but in most Of Americas great
cities, so that today trees In a bust
ness street are a rare sight. There
are elm-shaded villages In New Eng
land, maple-shaded towns in New
York and the Ohio valley, and there
are oak-tree streets to be seen in the
southeastern states, but for the most
part this refers only to small towns or
cities-never to the congeSted centers
of population where they should have
been preserved.

I'VE Dress Alike"

Il dress as you do, In graylsh feath-

Our tails are edged with white, too.
Il don't mean to say that either of

What meant to say was that each
of II tails had a white edging.
Yes, we dress alike. We have the
same tastes, too. We don't like
crows. They're such big, noisy crea-
lures. We like to drive them away,
and annoy them.
I'VE like the same places they do
That is n of the reasons why we do
not like crows.
1--WE like farm yards and orchards

"Of course, we're as noisy as they
are; but then, our noise is pleasant
and theirs is foolish. Though, after all,

But then, as we said. we believe In

we are here, And 1t is good to make a

while We do We let folks know we're

THAT Is the way to do it," said Mrs.

way to do 1t.
Il can't understand any reason
which would make 1t sensible of US
to do anything else"
"JuSt what do you mean by all of

know, I'm no scholar"
Neither I'm l." said Mrs. kingbird.
Il wasn't very clear in what | was
saying. You know there are some
creatures who like to sound very wise
and who really don't say much Of any
thing of any importance.
"But because they would like to ap-
pear important they make speeches
with great, long words in them, and
they look down on any m who doesn't
understand these words.
Foolish and conceited, / call It.
And those creatures usually know less
than the ones who're not ashamed Of
not knowing everything In the world,
Il meant, Mr.. Kingbird, that | have

Ing quiet about 1t.
ave might just as well stay where
1t is quiet If we're going to be 50

where there Is a lot of life and where
there Is a lot of going on, and where
there are farmers and their families

don't arrive until quite late in the

1--WE don't wait until late In the au-
tumn to leave, nor do we wait until

at is better to make sure that we
won't be around for any cold weather
than to take any chances.

City Streets Need Shade.

A Department of Agriculture bul.
letin insists that providing shade on
city streets is as much a municipal
function as providing lights or side
walks and should be cared for by
public officials, Probably the most eff
ficient way of arranging for proper
supervision, it says, is through an
unpaid commission of three or five
members which in turn employs an
executive officer. Methods Of organi-
zation are described, and numerous
Illustrations show how trees should
be planted. There are chapters also
describing pruning, spraying, trans
planting, and other subjects of i'm
portance to every town or city, wheth-
er it has trees or wishes to have
them. The bulletin may be had free

publications, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington.

Citizens Of Jefferson City, and ether
cities not placed on one Of the new routes,
are naturally disappointed, but according
to prominent officials an injunction, pro
hibiting road construction, will not be re-
sorted to when the immense benefit the
new system will bring TO the entire state

Soup kids grin from ear to ear. The
Cream o. Wheat kiddies run them a

The young women Of the advertising

tinually exulting over the discovery Of
some beauty secret such as how to reshape
a nose, reduce TO music, or become grace
full. They are inevitably dazzling Of COM
plexion and Of teeth. Their clothing is
Of super quality in cut and in material.
Even the hair pins the women in adver-
tisements wear are beyond comparison.
Young men in advertisements are al
ways rejoicing because they smoke the
proper tobacco. These young men pre-
sent an attractive appearance because
they wear the right hat. shoes. ties and
gloves. They are aware Of the latest in
coats and overcoais. In fact nothing in
the way Of correct dress escapes their al
testion.

AUTO CAMPING

When about one million American:
adopt a new sport in the short space Of
FIVE or six Years, il is high time for the
resi- Of the population to discover. if pos.
sible, the lure which attracted the orig.
raj million. This is exactly what the resi-
Of the population is doing, with mos, graf.
flying results.
The Sport under the microscope of pub
lie inspection is automobile camping. and
the thousands Of converts to its pleasures
this year give ample proof that there is
something new, wholesome and practical
in the way Of recreation.
Formerly, when person desired to go
camping he was surrounded with incon-
ceiyable quantities Of red tape, incon-
venience, expense and lost time. To go
camping by the old methods, with rail-
road fares sky-high, would call for the
outlay Of more time and money than the
average man can afford. Therein lies
the great advantage Of motor camping. 1t
is sport for the average family.
The great growth Of this new method
Of vacationing is due entirely to its two
main characteristics; it is practical and it
is cheap. In other words, it has been
proved by hundreds Of thousands Of gas !
oline gypsies in the las, few years that |
automobile camping produces the utmost
in pleasure and health for the minimum
expenditure Of money.
That is why increasing hordes Of peo-
pie who previously got most Of their ad-
venture from fiction magazines or wan
dered over the world through the medium
Of the outing pictures in the movies, are
taking to highways and carrying their
own hotels with them.
The only requirements for successful
motor camping are little money, little
time. a dislike Of crowded cities, a love
cf fishing and good air, desire to roam,
some brains. a good deal Of natural de.
rency and courtesy, and a car, no matter
how small and cheap, or even a motorcy-
Gle and side car.
In the month Of August when the heat
becomes greater, the average family be-
gins TO plan for vacation in the good old
Iamily car. 4
Auto camping is daily bringing to US
greater health, pleasure and enjoyment,
~hich means added zest for work. upon

Fascist and Ku Klux Khan.

From the Ner York E9rid.
The Cabinet crisis in Italy and the
Texas primaries are symptom Of the
same thing. In Italy the peace Of the
kingdom is disturbed by an extra-and-
SUPERFICIAL secret society called the Fas-
cis,i. In Texas the peace Of the Republic
is threatened by an extra-and-super-legal
secret society called the Ku Klux Klan.
The Klsn is confined to Protestant na-
tive whites. The Fascist consists Of
Catholic Italian Mediterraneans. But the
spirit which animaies them is the same.
Their bigoiry is the same. Their Iawlcss-
ness is the same. Their flubdubbery IS
the same. The Imperial Wizard is inter-

A Non-Extravagant College.
From The Dcllas Ners

FROM the Dallas NenS.
In your issue Of the July 10 there ap.
peared a quotation from an address de-
liyered by DIR. Henry W. Holmes before
the National Educational Association in
Boston with appropriate editorial com,
ments. The speaker emphasized the ne.
cessity of the adoption Of a new method
of selection as applied TO the admission
Of students in the higher institutions Of
learning in this country. | can not say
that ii is true in all or even in a major
ity IF such institutions, but do not hesi-
tate TO say that the method Of selection in
some Of said institutions is based upon
commercial considerations.
1t is beyond doubt the very general
prevailing policy in the administration
of such institutions to exclude that class
Of the young men and women, regardless
Of their capabilities for intellectual de
velopmeni, who are unable to meet the
extravagant financial requirements, both
authoritsiively subscribed and encourag-
ed to the limit of shameful extravaganza.
| know Of one state college. a pioneer
in the training Of young women for in
dustrial efficiency. against which such
charge can not be truthfully made and
maintained. That state institution is the
Mississippi College for women, located
at Columbus in that state.
Ii is operated on basis Of actual cost
to the student, which admits the less
favored class Of Mississippi girls as well
as those belonging TO the wealthy class
es. who are willing to avail themselves of
the splendid facilities it provides for in
dustrial or vocational training.
During the last collegiate wear there
was an enrolment Of $50 and the aver
age expenditure for the term was not
more than s225, or less than SIS per
month.
My understanding is tha, the act ere
aiing the institution forbids the COM
Of the school and dis
if il does not prohibit. the in
diligence Of extravaganza on the part Of
the students.
