We are not all millionaires IN this
country, we will never all be so rich
that we can travel the high seas in

desirable-there wouldn't be room.
So many of us now own AUTOMOBILES

each other.
However, if we are reasonable
and patient, and if we are willing

avoiding disastrous shortcuts, we
can, perhaps within the lives OF
many now living, arrive at a state
of economic well-being that will

MAPLE TREES will not be plant
ed or replanted to border the city
streets of the National Capital. This
decision has been arrived at some
what reluctantly by those in charge
of beautifying the city of all-the-
people. It is found that while the
silver, or soft maple, is a rapid
grower and a good shade tree, it has
many bad features as a tree to be
used in congested areas or where
there is lots of traffic. Maple trees
have a habit of sending their roots
out from the trunk too close to the
surface, thereby causing upheayals
of the sidewalks. But the greatest
objection to the maple as a city tree
is the fact that it's limbs grow to
great size thereby oHerlng tarSeIs
for wind storms. AS the timber is
very brittle the maple suffers great
er damage from storms than any
other shade tree in common use IN
the large cities. There have been
seven hundred shade trees damaged
by wind storms in the National Cap
ital this year, of which more than
one hundred were blown down com
pletely. One-half of these were soft
naples. An occasional fine old elm
or a plane tree, has surrendered in
the big storms, but the one tree that
has yielded to the angry elements
has been the soft maple.
