Let the Children Paint

Children like to paint. Many moth
ers dislike to have their children use
water colors because they soil their
dresses and handkerchiefs, as well as
hands. If the child is fond of painting
he should be permitted to do it. Moth
er can provide him with newspaper
and let him experiment until he cuts a
pattern for an apron, then give him a
piece of cambria, muslin, Bingham. per-
Gale or satin and let him cut and
make painting apron. This he may
don at painting time.

Now it is talking about extending
Manhattan Island nine miles out into
the bay and adding some $4,000 100000
worth of realty to the city, according
to the New York Times. Anyway,

now is but an eXpanse Of water. He is
L. kennard Thomson, the engineer who
jolted good many imaginations when
he came forward with a plan for the
enlargement of the city along lines
nature never contemplated. In the
revision and detailing of this plan,
he has altered the original outlines
to extending Manhattan toward New
Jersey; in fact, to cross the New Jer-
Sey water line.
This possibility of increasing Man
haitian by nine square miles has stirred
up so much interest in Staten Island
and along the New Jersey shore that
the good folk there have become rivals
to have the plans favor their respec-
tive communities. Thus the Bayonne
chamber of commerce brought all of
Its guns to bear and had Mr.. Thomson's
plan so modified that the tip end of
the new Manhattan would run down
in the general direction of Bayonne,
with a proportionate increase in
property values there. But Staten
Island has not given up the fight
has only begun-and if this vision of
greater Manhattan ever should be
realized Staten Island may be depend
ed upon to do it's duty.
From an engineering standpoint. the
only thing necessary to reclaim nine
square miles from the upper bay and
annex it to Manhattan Island, accord
ing to Thomson, is the construction of
a series of sea walls. He proposes
the pneumatic caisson method, used
in building the foundations of New
York skyscrapers, to place such re-
tanning walls down upon bed rock be-
fore enormous suction dredges are put
to work to pump out all the water and
other material above rock.
"At the southerly or lower end of
the bay, where the rock is too deep."
Mr.. Thomson explained, 1--WE would
build massive concrete walls as be-
fore, and then back-fill with clean
sand pumped from the ocean. using
suction dredges with intake pipes of
at least 40 inches in diameter. sucb

Gus Endorsement two years ago from
the Broadway association. Among
the first to declare for the scheme
which Mr.. Thomson says would elm
mate most of the difficulties arising
from New York's present congestion
was ex-Judge Alton B. Parker. head
of the National Civic federation.

developments of mechanics have not
produced anything more perfect and

Roaming Turkeys Devour
MANY Harmful Insects

After the turkeys begin to roam,
widely, complaints may be expected
from neighbors in regard TO damage
done to crops. The grower ought not
to be Indifferent to the trespassing Of
his birds, but it is fact, neverthe-
less, that such losses are rarely Sc
rious. Turkeys care little. apparently,
for most kinds of growing or ripening
grain and do not like to pass through
standing grain. 1t is the belief OF
careful observers that the good they
do in destroying insects vastly ex-
ceeds the toll they take

Sweet Clover Superior

Sweet clover is truly a wonderful

any other plant. 1t is wonderful

splendid pasture crop, and while it is
making an abundance of feed II ia

der the superintendency of a gen
tleman who has given his life to
the work of education, most of
which has been spent as superin-
tendent of the Americas schools. He
has developed splendid system of
schools in which he is trying to
relate the education given to TIE
life of the pupils. However, in or
der to do this more efficiently and
effectively there should be erected
at Americas county high school
- school to be erected by the city
and county jointly in order to take
care Of the adolescents Of both city
and county. Not only should the
city have a new and more com
modious high school but the scores
Of rural adolescents should also
have the advantage of the best
opportunities the county can give.
While it, is true that Tie ,onsoli-
dated schools are a great advance,
yet, only two or three them should
do tenth and eleventh grade work.
Let the majority of the consoidat-
ed schools become junior high
schools - frst-cIass junior high
schools-and then let their product
attend a frst-class high school adj
quately manned and Adequately
equipped. The law now permits
the erection of high schools by joint
action of counties and cities and if
Americas will follow in the fooc-
steps iqf Fitzgerald, which is soon
to erect such a school, it will be a.
forward step. Senior high school
cost money and when they are
erected they should represent the
