BALANCED plan.
NECESSARY IN !.
GARDEN
Evergreen Shrubs and Crow
ing Plants Hide UnsightIy
Angles and Corners

Let us build a garden; surround
ourselves with natures beauties
and give rein to our racial in
stinct to till the soil, to the end
that after the grind Of QUE daily
work we may stroll there in the
cool of the evening.
Our space is limited and inclosed
by a unitarian fence which we
will proceed to cover as 1t cannot
but TALL TO make an attractive
frame fol our picture, which Is
what a properly planned garden Is.
There are few angles and corners
in nature and we will do away with
the two at the end Of the lot by
grouping two or three evergreen
shrubs, placing lower growing
plants, such as cotoneasters and
craetaegus, in front Of them.
The rear line Is good place to
grow sweet peas, but we viii find
that pink hollyhocks with dolphin.
iums in front will be most attrac-
tive and will not require planting
each year. In front we will plant
Shasta daisies, irises. gladioli, and
snapdragons.
Hide Side Fence.
The side fences we will hide by
using honeysuckle, heliotrope, and
fuchsias. These viii be q source
of delight for the bees, butterflies,
and birds.
We have now made the frame
for our picture. We will abide by
three simple rules-avoiding straight
lines. planting in groups, and keep.
ing the center open.
Along the sunniest side Of our
garden we will devote a strip nine
feet wide by as long a. we can
give for dahlias. This is divided
into three equal parts; A part for
dahlias, a part for a path to make
cultivation easier, and another
part for dahlias. We will have
two rows OF dahlias in each bed in
this manner:
Beginning six inches in from the
edge marker is placed and down
the row every two feet. then back
to the first marker two feet in
and one foot to the right or left,
as the case may be. we will put
another marker and others two feet
apart down the line. This is re.
peated in the second bed. It is
called staggering and is recon-.
nended by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. We will
keep the lower foliage cut out,
which win permit the free pass

Tourist Camps Show
Big Improvement

Madison-A decided improvement
in sanitary conditions of tourists
camps in Wisconsin during the past
season is reported by G. NJ. Baker,
state sanitary engineer of the de-
partment of health. The improve
ment resulted, Mr.. Baker said, from
a drive undertaken by the sanitary
division to enforce sanitation laws.
"The bureau wrote every municipal
ity maintaining a camp site, outlin-
ing state requirements and encour-
aging rigid adherence" Mr.. Baker
said. "The conditions last year
were generally unsatisfactory. Re-
ports of field men and automobile
editors this year agree that the ma
jority of parks are today well main
tanned and tourists cooperate to this
end The improvement showing is due
to the continual process of education
and persistence of officials"
There are now between $50 and 900
tourist camp sites in Wisconsin, Mr..
Baker said.

Farm Bureau at Work
on Legislative Plans

Madison, Wis. - An extensive legis-
lative program is being worked out by
the Wisconsin Farm Bureau fedora
ton to be presented to and advocated
before the next session of the legisla-
ture, according to l. N. Wright, state
secretary.
One of the outstanding measures adj
vocated will be the gasoline tax, he
said. The bureau recently made g sur
vey of farmers in the state as to their
attitude or the gas tax and found an
overwhelming per cent in favor of the
tax.
Suggestions already being consid-
cred for the program include:
/. "Gasoline tax TO relieve general
property Of the taxes for county high
way purposes.
2. "An adequate appropriation fol
eradication of bovine tuberculosis in
the state.
3. "Steps &c relieve farm land that
lies in joint districts with cities anC
villages of excessive school taxes.
4. "a larger portion of money re.
ceived from criminal fines apportionet
to the county collecting the same, t.
relieve the county tax load.
5. "The state should provide its
share of funds called for in the stat
utes on various projects to equalizt
the tax burden"

Marriage Declared
Good Investment

Chicago. Marriage is the best fin
ancial investment man can make,
concludes Patrick J. Carr, treasurer
Of Cook county -(Chicago), from q
statistical survey in which averages
were taken from 100000 returns SIN
fact, a man can hardly afford not to
get married, if statistics mean any
thing" Mr.. Carr added.
The survey of the tax situation
here, made with vview of reaching
any scientific conclusions on economy
and money saving, shows that at "a
years of age the average husband has
about five percent less property
money in bank and taxable wealth
than the average bachelor of the
same age.
"But when both reach the age of %
the husband will be three percent
ahead and will continue to distance
the bachelor more each year." said
Mr.. Carr. 'The cost of marriage put
him back in the first comparison.
'.At 80, the married man will aver
age, in proportion to numbers, II per
cent more taxable wealth and at As
he will be 90 per cent ahead, despite
the expense of larger homes, children
and heavier wardrobe and living
costs. The married man seems tc
work harder, save more and is more
intensive in developing his business
ability. There is a greater percentage
of shrinkage one year to the next in
the taxable property of bachelor
than a husband"

WOMAN GETS DROP
ON BOOTLEGGER
Woman Gets Possession of
Bottle Which Sawicki
Brought Husband.
HE SAYS NOT GUILTY

Patience came to an end to one wo-
man this week, and she began to CO.
operate with the police department in
order to stop the walking Of moon
shine bottles into her home, causing
domestic trouble.
Through an amusing ruse on the
part of Mrs. Walter Kuklinski of Ce-
celia street, the police later arrested
Alex Sawicki of Racine avenue on the
charge of unlawful possession of
moonshine liquor.
Says He Came to the House.
Sawicki came to the Kuklinski
home, according to the police report
with a bottle of moonshine which it
is said he brought for the master OF
the house. The mistress of the house
did not want moonshine brought in
but she did not .betray her feelings to
the alleged bootlegger. Instead of do
ing so, she wheedled him into leaving
the bottle with her, and having OBJ
tanned possession of it, she turned il
over to the police department.
This morning Sawicki was brought
into the municipal court before Judge
Slater charged with unlawful posses
sion. Through an interpreter, he be-
gan a long explanation of his past be-
ginning several years ago. His flow
of language was cut short by the ques-
tion of whether he pleaded guilty oil
not. Sawicki pleaded not guilty,
"Are you citizen ?" the judge ask
ed the defendant. The latter replied
in the negative.
81 thought not" said the judge.
The case was continued to Novem-
Der Il at a. m.

How quickly we became accustomed
to a marvellous invention and ccnsid-
er it commonplace. The radio, only a
few years old as far as widespread
popular use is concerned, already is
losing its glamor. Visitors yawn po-

So with the airplane. In the larger

KISSING ABSOLUTELY
 FORBIDDEN IN RUSSIA
Handshaling Too, Prohibited in Many Places As Conducive to
 Spreading Disease

Moscow, Oct. 8. = Dr. Nicholas Semashko, soviet commissar of health, has issued an edict against kissing. which, he contends. is one of the most potent means of spread ing disease.
 The new order, if observed. will fall hard upon the Russian peasan- try, who are in the habit of kissing one another not only on the lips but three times on each cheek in salu- tation. Dr. Semashko is also op- posed to the kissing of ladies' hands by men, a national custom in Rus sia. Not only Is this unhygienic, he says, but it is practice of the Bour- geoisie, which has no place in a proletarian republic.
 Handshaking has been prohibited in many departments of the govern ment, and signs are appearing warn- ig employees that the practice fre- ouently results in communication of disease. The conventional salute. hand from forehead, is suggested as safer greeting.
 As further health measure, pr. semashko advocates ban on smok- ing, urging tobacco users to substi- ute candy and sweetmeats.

Dominick Perrotti Sentenced in New Haven Superior Court-Members of His Crew Are Fined But
 Jail Sentence Is Suspended in Their Cases

Hartford, Meriden, and Holyoke, Mass, which caused the deaths of many persons as wood alcohol had been used in compromising, The states attorney claimed that Per rotti at the time escaped punish- ment because he was not aware that the brandy sold contained a poison ous fluid.
 The states attorney said that Per rotti was not satisfied with the les son he received then but turned his hand to making liquor and finally brought the Wilkes-Barre as a rum runner. The vessel w used to bring in liquors and alcohol. The boat was captured in the harbor here on July IF. The story of Perrotti's dealings in alcohol were described at length and how Harry Coppola, who was in Perrotti's em- ploy, was given s6.OOo with which to buy liquor from the rum fleet of Montauk Point
 Coppola was held up at New Lon don and the money taken. Per- rotti shortly after went to the rum fleet and got a consignment of lliquor and brought it to New Haven, The craft was then seized.
