No More Trust Busting.

 Where's the Big Stick now?
 Less than a generation ago it waved threat enngly against large corporations Big Business. Antitrust legislation, such the Sherman Act of 1890, turned to in the effort to keep competi- tion from being destroyed The public feared the trust. In the popular mind lit the octopus, stifling business freedom and Initiative, heralding ensavement of the by monopoly
 That popular dread is gone. Industrial combi- nation, leading to greater efficiency less dupca- ton of effort, better service is part of American business soundy intrenched President Hoover recognized that fact when he spoke to the American Federation of Labor at Bos- ton. Competition, he pointed out, can be as de- structive monopoly The example he used strikes home The btu- lminous industry with 1000 mines owned by 5000 operators, has been passing through period of destructive competition in the form of price cuts, wage cuts, unbrided production and instability, which has brought it to ruin.
 Hoover advocates removing harnpering restric- tons industrial combination The A. F. of L, has been of the mind for years.
 Industrial combination is inevitable. It is wise to recognize it as such-and to see to it that it remains the servant, not the master, of the Nation

Evolution of "Stateroom"

Doctor Vizetelly says that the evo-
luton of the word "stateroom" on a
boat may be cited as follows: Cabin,
state cabin. stateroom. The term
"stateroom" was taken over from the
British navy. There Is note in
Pepys' Diary which gives a clew to
this (April "a. 1900: "Very pleasant
we were on board the London, which
hath a stateroom much bigger than
the Nazeby. but not so rich" Anoth-
er evidence of this use is to be found
in the London Gazette for 1880, No. 2,
9S2: "The yacht having lost in this
encounter but three men, who were
killed by one great shot in the state
ROOM" By the time the Hanoverian
kings were on the throne of England
the term "stateroom" was thoroughly
established in the language, for Smol-
lett used it in Frederick Random"
which was published In 1748: "a
cabin was made for him contiguous to
the stateroom where White slept"

Beautifying the Roadside

After an improved road has been
made, little attention is paid as rule
to the roadside. From the point of
view of the driver, the road may be a
marvellous piece of work, but to the
esthetically inclined passenger the out
look may be quite different. The
average highway is lined with jagged
cuts, homely banks, tree trunks and
refuse of one kind or another. The
Vermont Chamber of Commerce has
started in upon campaign to beauti-
fy the roads and roadsides and is en-
deavoring to make it a nationwide
movement. Connecticut sets out ram
bier roses, woodbine and honeysuckle.
Many other states set out trees in
large numbers. This, together with
the efforts being made to overcome the
billboard nuisance, may have the eff
feet of restoring the rural scenery to
an acceptable condition.

Proper Planning Saves Money

"One of the greatest blights of our
cities, one of the biggest and hardest
problems to be solved, is that of the
Disagreement and upset to surround
ing property caused by railroads and
other transportation agencies. Great
economic losses ensue, with depressing
and deteriorating influence upon the
poor creatures of humanity who gen.
orally drift to the deprecated neigh
borhoods along railroad rights of way.
There is also the great loss of time
and Inconvenience to whole cities by
misplaced or outgrown yards. terminals
and other facilities, that proper CO.
operation and planning, on the part of
public and carriers, should make
wholesome, esthetic and compatible
with the reasonable amenities Of life.

Civic Barnacles Clog
Pathway to PROGRESS

Barnacles attach themselves to the
bulls of vessels and other submerged
objects. They retard the speed and
efficiency and cause loss of time and
revenue, to say nothing of the loss
OF energy that could have been d.
rected in profitable way. Every so
often a thorough cleaning is neces-
sary by scraping off the barnacles and
otherwise cleaning up the object, says
the Miami (Fla.) Herald.
Civic clubs and other organizations
may be likened to ships and there
fore find it imperative to scrape off
the "barnacled" members. After
most thorough and complete cleaning
the organization presents bright ap-
pearance. 1t is cleaner, brighter and
carries a more wholesome spirit into
the various endeavors by the member
ship.
AS result of this cleaning activ-
ity greater work can be done and the
returns will be twofold; better men,
Der and better club that will serve
more effectively the needs of the city.
There might be "Barnacle" day each
year so that this cleaning process could
be done all at ore time.

Tree Planting Worthy
of Special Attention

Oh 0pGC16k <AtIGuk1Cn
The choice and arrangement Of trees
on the small country or suburban place
are matters deserving of more atten-
ton than they appear in many cases to
have received. A limited knowledge Of
trees, a random selection Of nursery
specimens and an unwise choice Of To-
cations are sometimes represented in
tree paintings.
Many tree is not adapted to its
location in character and effect or
suited to the size of the place on which
it is planted. Even where, from the
purely practical standpoint, no mistake
Is made, it is obvious that an exercise
of imagination may result in charm
and distinction rather than dullness
and monotony.
Where possible the native trees on
the place may well form the nucleus
of the planting. There may be no ma
tive trees, however, which are suitable
to retain. Existing trees, if any, may
have to be sacrificed, due to their in
reference with approaches or with
the house itself. In this respect the
problem of the small place Is per-
haps more difficult, and differs es-
sentially from that of the large coun-
try place where there is more leeway
as to placing the house with respect
to contour of ground, vistas and exist
ing or future trees.

Pretty Cactus Gardens"

From the heart Of the desert coun-

cessity of earning a living for herself
and three children, Mrs. May Pitts Of
Florence, Ariz.. turned to the making
of miniature cactus gardens as pos
sible source of income. Her resource
and ingenuity met with financial re-

gardens were small and sold from SO
