ing from severe burns on feet and body. The youngster was whimper- ing from the pain and the forester took pity on it, lifted 1t into his car and made 1t fast with rope. The ranger started, only to discover that the mother bear was in hot pursuit. The forestry book of instructions does not cover this situation, but the ranger decided to throw the cub overboard
 His attempts to unite the knots proved futile. Finally, on steep grade, the old bear threw herself on the back of the car. The forester jumped off the car, and regained his feet in time to see it continuing its journey. Later the automobile was found, everything intact except the seat where the cub had been tied, the old bear having torn it out to release her offspring.

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

Is home owning lost ambition? 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 6S cities of more than 100000 population but PC 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 4S. 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 IT. in 1910 and 12.1 in 1900. Manhattan presents the most striking situation. With more than half a million homes, less than 11,OOO were owned. little more than ? per cent.
 If home owning be form of civic virtue, then Des Moines may gather her chaste skirts about her as painted Manhattan passes, for the Iowa para gon among cities shows a percentage of home ownership of 51.2, a growth from 45.6 per cent in 1910 and 2S.5 in 1900. In only one other commu- nifty of more than 100000 inhabitants are half the homes owned, and that is Grand Rapids, Mich.-The Nations Business.

Landor the Explorer.

Henry Savage Landor has a splendid record as an explorer. He was the first known white man to reach both sources of the Brahmaputra river of India and established their exact positions in Thibet. His eXplora- tion tours in the Himalayas also yielded vast store of information. He later spent a whole year cruising among and studying, the Philippine islands.
 With a single partner, Mir. Landor travelled $500 miles or a pack sad dle through COrea. Later he turned his attention to Africa spending sev- eral years there and thell again chang ing his scene of action tu South Amer ica where he travelled almost continu- ously until 1914.

Oaks Best for Street Planting.

Oaks are considered by the United States Department of Agriculture to he the best trees for street planting. It is probable that oaks have not been more widely planted because of the prevalent belief that they are slow growers. and because in the North they are rather difficult to transplant. A white oak. however, which is one of the slow-growing varieties, will reach the same height as sugar maple in the same period of time, and naples have been rsed much more widely than oaks f,r street ornamentation, despite many unsatisfactory character isticS.

The City Beautiful.

We cant have too many pretty towns or too many pretty homes in town and country. Progress along this line is being made annually and with increasing interest among pro- gressive town builders and home own CTS. There is no use for shabbiness. Shabbiness connotes indolence and in difference. A house or town which indicates careless occupants, citizens concerned only for primitive necessi- ties, is not one to attract the sort of people that energetic people want to know. Poverty is no excuse for shab- biness. The humblest dwelling does not need to be shabby. Shabbiness is carelessness. not fiimsiness. Many a fiimsy little cottage or cabin exhibits a quality that is far superior to shab- biness. It is the careless, untenanted, dilapidated, apathetic look to mans home, a mans town. or a mans cloth ing that gives it shabbineSs. One needn't he shabby in overalls any more than in tailor-made suit.-Dai- las (TeX.) News.

Plan for Growth of Town.

The crooked streets of Boston grew up along old-time COW paths. Cities. 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 gestion is due mainly to narrow streets. Yet they go ahead laying out more narrow streets. It is foolish policy. especially foolish in small towns that may some day be giant cities.
