The zinnias were not more than a
| foot high, but in good condition,
whereas our own plants were ga to 3
feet high and covered with blossoms.
We remembered from our visit no
petunia plants, but several mornings
later, when passing the Sunken Gar
den, We're greeted with blaze of pur-
pie and white blossoms.

The paths are twisting in character,
and the beds, therefore, of irregular
shape, BETTING such q snug inclosed
place as this.
The zinnia bed in particular evinces
a prim disposition. The plants are
set we'll apart to allow for branching.
Most amateurs incline to crowding Of
all flowers.
1t is difficult to see the beds as they

so six inches each way seems large
for the tiny seedlings. But the gar
dener must think in terms of COM
plete growth. He should take the ad.
vice of the hard-hearted seedmen who
grow the seed and place his plants at
transplanting the necessary distance
for best growth.
The cosmos was in good shape, as
was the saliva; also the marigolds
There were several kinds of lilies, in
Guiding lemon lilies and another with
large buds.
One rosebush was inclosed in a sort
of cage made of rough boards, some
thing on the order Of the boxes placed
around young and struggling trees by
a kindly municipal government.
There were also several more rose
bushes in a bed, but there were no
blossoms at the time of our brief
ramble through.
The hardy phlox was particularly
pleasing in white and dark red. This
is a fetching plant in any situation,
requiring little care. Once planted, it
only needs to be divided every now
and then to do its best. More use
should be made Of it by backyard
gardeners.

All in ALL the Sunken Garden
seemed in most f1ourishing condi-
ton, considering the lack of sunshine,
the prime need Of growing things.
Yet evidently there is enough late
afternoon sun to do the trick, for
everything in the garden seemed in
good condition, although a trifie be-
hind the season.
Nor must one forget that in those
beds repose various bulbs, such as
tulips and hyacinths. Last Spring the
purple hyacinth and various white
flowers made glorious picture.
Our only criticism Of this garden is
that there Is no place for one to sit.
A garden should not be all work, but
should be a place for quiet contem-
plation as well. Perhaps there Is a
concealed nook for the owner which
visitors do not find. We hope SO. for
with so much beauty around one
ought to be able to sit and enjoy 1t
for a space.

SHOOTING STARS.


Turning of the Leaves.
In ctober. when the leaves begin to
urn,
And the sun has ceased so cruelty to
burn
When the katydid is singing,
And the breeze is gently bringing
The autumnal stories we have longed
to learn
That's the proper time for holding a
debate
Upon matters very small or very
great.
Underneath the Summer sizzle.
Reason often seems to flzzle,
And a friendship may be shattered
while you wait.
So. the time when we in calmness may
discern
Various rules for peace, which all de.
sire to earn,
With a look through history's pages,
At the wisdom of the ages,
Is October, when the leaves begin to
turn. ~

Tissue-and-BOne
Pathology Defended
To the Editor OF The Star.

To the Editor Of The Star:
With reference to the series Of
articles now appearing in The Star
evidently with view to poking fun
at chiropractors and osteopaths, it Is
very we'll to remember that there are
two sides to every story, and also that
1t is the easiest thing in the world
to use ridicule as an argument against
anybody or anything. Taking up the
other side, for instance, q sick man
might elicit a dozen diagnoses from
as many M. DIS and obtain a dozen
prescriptions for his ailment. A great
deal depends on the character of a
patient, the story he tells and the
symptoms he details.
Ridicule or no ridicule, the fact re-
mains that the theory of tissue-and-
bone pathology originated by DIR.
Andrew T. Still 40 years ago, and
now dogmatized whether by oste-
opathy or chiropractic, has come to
stay. and the sooner every medical
college In the country adopts it as
part or the regular curriculum the
better for all concerned. But neither
school. nor a combination Of both, can
stop the fatal march of human cells,
beginning at 40 and ending somewhere
between that and so. through the
gauntlet of circulatory, nervous and
organic disease. consequent upon the
three squares" day, the "eats," the
"choW" of devitaminized rubbish,
ashes, popularity alleged to be food.

Drugless Doctors
Are Given Praise
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The star:
The articles that appeared last week
on the front page Of your paper relat.
ing in detail the experiences encoun-
tered by the writer upon his visits to
chiropractors. osteopaths, ETC., are
both interesting and ludicrous.
In this progressive age new theories
are ever passing before us. According
to our own individual intellectual per-
ception, these theories are either
studied carefully or cast aside. Heal
ing without drugs or knife" as your
reporter terms it, has been practiced
for a number of years, and because the
general falling public" have not here
tofore educated themselves to the fact
that proper adjustment Of the nerve
centers Of the body Is absolutely essen
tial to health. is there any logical rea-
son why truth and the way to perfect
health and longevity should not be
accepted now? Sensible people by the
thousands are turning every day to
chiropractors, etc, to be cured of dis
eases that possibly for years have been
relieved only temporarily by drugs and
operations.
There is no doubt that the medical
doctors and surgeons are beginning to
notice a slump in business. Hence the
action of the association which re-
Gently convened in Washington to GUST
the drugless doctors, who should be
called "saviors of mankind"
From my own experience and the
experience of my friends, consider
the drugless doctors as good or even
better. diagnosticians than the drug
practitioners, In spite of their pre-
sumed better training. Besides, If the
drugless doctor does diagnose incor-
rectly, the patient is in no danger Of
injury or death from poisonous drugs.
People are beginning to think for
themselves and are learning rapidly
just what kind of doctor is best for
human ills. 1t Is left entirely to the
doctor to work out his destiny, as the
idea of deceiving the patient has long
passed. If the doctor is incompetent
he will soon retire from the profes.
sional world from the lack Of patients.

In Need of Revision.

The Bureau of Efficiency, in collab-
grafton with the judges of the Police
Court. has submitted to the District
Commissioners plan for the assess
ment of collateral for minor traffic
offenses which is designed to lessen
court congestion. Under the proposed
system motorist arrested for a
minor offense would not be required
to appear in court, but would be en-.
abled to put up the amount Of collat-
eral which would be deemed to cor
respond to q fine.
Although the plan in general is
excellent and would effectively remedy
the present congestion in court, the
schedule Of collateral which police
stations would be authorized to ac-
cept appears to have been drawn with
little regard to existing conditions.
For instance, the ridiculously small
sum of twenty-five dollars is all that
would be asked from a motorist who
obtained his operators permit by mis-
representation, while for obtaining
Identification tags by misreDresenta-
ton the wholly inadequate sum Of
fifteen dollars Is suggested.
In the ten-dollar collateral class are
such minor" offenses as driving
through an occupied safety zone. fail.
ure to give way to fire engines. pass
ing stopped street car. and such. In
the Ave and three and two dollar
classes are other attractions which 1t
is absurd to characterize as minor"
offenses.
The entire list as now proposed
should be Immediately withdrawn and
some real thought given to compila-
ton Of new one. 1t is uncomfortable
that progressive and intelligent COM
munity should allow the offender to
secure a permit or tags and relieve
him Of the necessity of going to court
by the payment of twenty-five dollars
in the first instance and fifteen dollars
in the second.
The offenses in the ten-dollar cate.
CORY. such as driving through occu-
pied safety zones and driving past
street cars discharging passengers,
involve the possible loss Of life and
property, and to let a potential killer
off for such trifiing amount makes
a laughing-stock Of traffic regulation.
lc io1,
Of all communities should prod them.
selves into realization of the differ.
ence between a traffic offense that
involves loss of life, injury and prop
erty damage and an infraction that
in all its aspects is minor and trivial.
The tendency nowadays seems to be
advertently without a. tail light with
the motorist who looks sneeringly
over his shoulder at the approach of
a screaming fire engine and proceeds
on his way in the middle Of the street.
The schedule as now drawn should
be summarily rejected by the District
Commissioners and a proper and ap.
preciative commission appointed to
start work upon a list that will dis
pense justice with speed and precision
and at, the same time discourage vio-
lation of the traffic regulations. The
present list can be construed as moth
ing but an invitation to the major
violators Of the safety laws to do as
they please as long as they have a
few dollars in their pockets.

Judge, Suspecting Hoax; Forced
 to Grant Discharge in Auto Case

stable John s. Recor was driving
 west on Smalley street. Knapp tes- | tuned that the speed of his truck
 was about Is miles an hour while
 hecor's car was going too fast :"
 Recor testified that the truck was
 going between 35 and 40 miles an
 hour at conservative estimate
 while the speed of his own car was
 about 15 miles an hour. His car
 is only few weeks old and he is
 very careful of it, he said.
 Recor explained that after he sounded the horn on his car he pro- ceeded 10 cross the intersection. H. looked to the right and saw no traf-
 f1c, Looking to the left he saw the truck and immediately he applied his brakes and stopped when the truck was about 75 feet away. The truck driver pulled to the left in an attempt to pass in front of Recor's car, but the front fender Of the lat ter caught the rear fender of the truck and threw it against coach owned by Daniel Mccarthy of Springfield. Mase.. and parked on the east side Of Stanley street, ap- proXimately go feet from the point of the tirst collision. The truck was thrown onto it's side and was dam aged, as was McCarthy's car.
 Judge Nangan said the testimony did not substantiate the charge of TecklpSS 1riEinp In his or;pi,,, <, would be q close case for the civil courts to decide. He felt that if Recor, on seeing the truck 75 feet away, had continued ahead. he would have cleared the intersection before the truck reached him. There was reasonable doubt, he said, and he was inclined to give Knapp the i benefit Of it, all things considered. i. knapp was represented by Attorney Donald Gaffney. Motorcycle Officer l Alfred Tanguay made the arrest. i }aVing heard the crash and arrived few minutes after the collision.
