 House foundation planting prob ably is the most ovcrdonc Of all decorations. Why should we want our houses to look as if they rested on q wall of growing plants? Why shouldn't we. let the lawn sweep right up to the foundation walls?
 The house rests on the ground. 50 let us be honest about 1t and use shrubs and evergreens only as decorations to soften some of the corners.
 It is easy to understand how louse foundation planting gets over done. When the new house is com ileted and everything looks so new. the owner wants to soften the effect. He plants little evergreens and little shrubs to take the curse of the brand new looking building.
 The strange part of foundation planting is that so few people plant the variety of shrub or evergreen that remains dwarfed. Sometimes they huy a three-foot-hIgh tree that looks h.l right the first couple Of years. bu, they have chosen a var- sety that Ultimately becomes f0r- pst tree inst will grow higher than ele top Of the house: and they plant kich z tree right in tront Of a win- l0W.

CHILDREN LEARN SAFETY

Figures tell an interesting story about children in relation to motor car accidents. Although children are increasing steadily in number, children accident fatalities are steadily decreasing.
 l For children under years. the death rate per 100000 population increased from 8.9 in 1922 to 13.8 in 1929. But then a fairly steady decrease set in until 1t reached 9.6 in 1884.
 Children of school age 6 to IA years) had an even better experi- ence. Tn 1922 the rate was Al, and it increased until 1927 when 1t reached l6.O. Then followed an al- most continuous recession which pulled the rate down to l3.5 in i034--0.6 below 1922.
 Here is another striking thing about these figures. From 1922 to l036 the child fatality total in- creased only four per cent, while the total for persons from l6 to 04 yedrs jumped l86 per cent. Chil- dren are now learning how to be safe among the hazards of street and highway. but the older folks arc still very careless.
 Credit for this improvement in tho accident experience of children is due largely tO training in the schools.
