As THE TRAVELLER ENTERS
THE CITY
(Christian Science Monitor)

christian Science Monitor)
Upward OF eighty cities in the
United States have begun system
attic and effectively directed ef
forts to dress up. with flowers and
gardens, anu to render more at
tractive by the removal OF un-
slightly accommodations Of refuse,
dilapidated buildings and bill
boards, the right-of-way Of tine
railroads over which travellers
and visitors enter them. 1t is, or
has been, an unfortunate peculiar
ity OF American cities that they
usually present, in the first view
the railway traveller gains of them,
their worst side, scenically speak
ing. This is not fact that has
just been discovered. 1t has been
realized ever since the first Amer
lean railroad was built. There are
exceptions to the rule, it is true,
but in the vast majority OF cases
the lots abutting the lines Of steam
railways are the least desirable
from the point of view OF the
thrifty householder. There are
cities in nearly every part of the
country in which are founl graft
flying exceptions to the rule. But
in the main the first view offered to
the tourist who journeys by rail Is
not az inviting one.
Credit is claimed by the National
Association Of Real Estate Boards
for organizing this constructive
campaign. But the movement has
been aided by women's clubs, city
councils chambers Of commerce,
enterprising newspapers, and the
railroad companies themselves.
The determined effort, now that
the work has been we'll begun, is
to arouse sufficient interest to sus-
tain it throughout the summer, or
better still, the year round. 1t is
a profitable investment of both
money and labor The Railroad
right-of-way is, unavoidably, the
show window Of every city. No
store keeper would expect to at
tract visitors and prospective Gus
toners by displaying to public
view the rear entrance to his

his residence SO that the back door
will he toward the street. But the
railroad, for obvious reasons, can
not be constructed through the
center of Main Street. Like water,
it naturally seeks the lowest pos
sible common level. Tnis carries
it along river banks or through
valleys, and almost always aWav
from the attractive center of the
town. The show windows ann
dress parades are all uptown.
The casual tourist or interested
visitor always gains his first i'm
preston from something which he
should never be permitted to see.

New York, June 18.-Now, who
would think that the skeleton of a
dinosaur might stand as the memoir
ial to a great love? Or that between
the time marked trunks Of q masto-
don romance might reach full flow
er, that the bones Of brontosaur
might screen the plighting OF a
troth?
Yet If you were to visit the gal
lery of skeletons in the American
Museum of Natural History on a
summer afternoon you would find 1t
the trysting place of many a maid
and man.
Undeterred by the spectacle of
ghosts of the past pointing the way
that all flesh must go, they sit there
letting time pass swiftly by. saying
little, holding hands, look both
ecstatic and sick.
Think not that these youngsters
find some enchantment in the pres
ence of the great piles of odd bones.
1t is to be doubted if they know the
diplodocus (and who does p, but

And each great skeleton affords Sc
clusion from the casual visitors who
visit the place to, study the story
that lies in the bleak exhibits.
Fourteen years ago Mrs. Margaret
Ritter became paralyzed and has
been bedridden in the Brooklyn
Lutheran Hospital since then. And
each day Of those IA years John Rit-
! ter, 81, has called at the hospital to
visit the girl he married 90 years
ago, Once prosperous merchant,
he spent all his savings in vain
effort to cure her. And now at 81
he does his best at odd jobs to earn
enough for flowers and little tokens
Of his love for her.
Stories Of men who have served
long and faithfully in one job al
ways have appealed to me, probably
because my own inclination is to
throw the typewriter out the win
dow and start hoboing. Yet the fell
lows who keep at their work always
seem to- enjoy life more than the
rovers. There is DR.: Henry Mottet,

There isn't any law against a
man who smokes carrying matches.
A last years June bride tells US
she is using her fifth can opener.
It's easy to be popular with your

The reason more people don't stay

ON HEALTH--==-
HOW TO FIGHT MOSQUITOES

Not only is there danger of com
municable diseases from the bite of
mosquitoes, but there is quite a bit
Of unpleasantness connected with the
process.
Mosquitoes breed in dead, still
water. Often this water is in empty
tin cans in the back yard, rain
barrel, or tile on the roof of the
house.
Tin cans should have hole pune
tured in their bottoms before they
are thrown away so they will not
hold water.
Cutters, spouting and tile roofing

Mosquitoes do not travel far from
their breeding places. However, they
are driven by the winds, and are car
ried on persons sometimes for quite
a distance.
Many solutions prepared to kill
grown mosquitoes may be purchased

A good old-fashioned preventive
against their crawling through the
screens is a woollen rag, soaked in

The situation is better than it was,

Trotsky; and all manner of compul-

But the reaction of peace seems
to have promoted its growth.
Narrow nationalism; the pseudo
democracy which sets the prejudices
Of the ignorant above the knowl-
edge Of the wise, and the final stand
Of the doomed representatives of q
dying era, in religion and in politics
all these tend to medievalize this
supposedly modern age.
It is soon over, but it is annoying
while it lasts.

Mine operators are working to

Even that seems shocking price,
but it is less than most industries

Good Test To Know

Now that some cars use ignition
switches not so easily distinguished
in ION" and off" positions it is
necessary to be doubly careful when
cranlling the car by hand for the
purpose of testing for compression,
checking up on the timing or work.
ing on the valve tappets. Where the
ignition can be locked the mat
ter is very simple, but on some
of the newer models locking is &C
complished at the gears, rendering
it difficult sometimes for the mex
perienced driver to know for sure
whether the ignition is off. There
are, therefore, two safe rules to fol-
low. Step on the starter and try to
start the engine. If the ignition is
off naturally the engine will not start.
Look at the pointer of the ammeter.
With the ignition and lights off it
should show neither charge nor dis
charge. This latter test alone is US
ually enough of a guide for the ex-
perienced motorist, but If you doubt
the accuracy of the ammeter the
starting test will perhaps ease your
mind. The whole matter of precau-
ton is simply insurance against hav-
| ing the engine backfire while you are
| cranking it by hand.
