Over the Back Fence
- By
FRED AMES

a moment that you were face to
face with an escaped inmate )f
Patton. Under his arm he would
probably be carrying a bunch OF
pointed lath which he would jan
into the ground here and there in
scattered groups and irregular for
nations, and on each one he would
Scrawl something with crayon or
pencil. Then he would walk back
and Scrutinize those lath from every
possible angle. He might cup his
hands about his eyes to block out
every other object, and if you were
to wander into the course of his gaze
he would probably shout, get out
of the picturei' But while you
would only be seeing a lot of lath
stuck in the ground he would not
be seeing lath at all. He would be
seeing a picture etched in with
trees and shrubs and sweeping
lawns and maybe fountain or
group of statuary. Every properly
Handicapped area consists of a num-
ber of such pictures, and when
the job is complete they must all
blend together into a harmonious
whole
When you walk through a public
park or private estate and you find
at every turn a new picture of
breath taking charm and beauty
remember that 1t didn't just hap
pen that way Those pictures first
came into being out of the creative
imagination of landscape archi-
tect. They were wrought by an
artist who works with trees and
plants rather than with paints and
canvas.
After the lath sticking has been
done, the first rough sketch has
been made, the blue prints have
been prepared, and the planting
has been completed, then if you
wish you may count the number of
trees, divide by the number of acres,
and find the average number of
trees per acre. But it wouldn't
mean anything. One acre might
have fifty trees and the next two
hundred. And no landscape design
er would have any idea of how
many trees he was going to use
until after he had completed his
plans.
Landscape designing is not a
trade in which you can follow
certain invariable rules of proce-
dure. Rather it is a profession, in
which every new job presents new
problems, which must be solved
not by the application of rules, but
by the application of imagination
and creative thinking.

ITALY HAS "a CABLE
RAIL LINES in ALPS
AND BUILDING MORE

ROME, Oct. 81. (UP)-Italy
holds the little known worlds rec
ord for cable railways, with "a in
use and Sc. eral in construction.
Germany and Austria combined
are second on the list with 2l-
Austria has 13 and Germany s.
france is third with IA, Switzer-
land and Japan follow with five
and two respectively with Argen-
tina, Poland, Czechoslorakia, Nor
way and South Africa trail with
one each.
Italy jumped into the lead dur
ing the World war when 5000
miles Of "teleferics" were Install
ed on the Austrian front. They
proved SO successful in warfare
that Italy decided to use this new
technique in transport for peace
time travel.
The largest number of these
cable railways are in the noun
famous regions of North Italy.
They are mostly used to exploit
the tourist possibilities of winter
resorts. Skiing fields are reached
IN lew moments instead of the
hours required on the old, labori-
Gus mountain railways.
Sestriere, Italy's foremost skiing
resort, is served with four "tele-
ferries" which climb Mont'Alpette,
Sises, Banchetta and Monte Frai-
teve. Bolzano in the Dolomities
has two. They connect Bolzano
with the heights of Cole and
SAINT Genesio. There are three in
the Abruzzi's, one at Trento and
at Claviere.
The longest "teleferic" is from
San Reno to the summit of Monte
Bignone in the center of the Mari
time Alps while the shortest is
from Varallo to the Sarco Monte
in Piedmont about $50 feet in
length.
At present work is proceeding
on a new "teleferic" from Gorilla,
near Trieste, to Monte Santo.

TAX ON CARS,

Coleman Roberts ct Caro-
Ina Motor Club Points
to High Rate Paid

CHARLOTTE, Oct. 31.-More
than half of all tax revenues
raised by the states of North ana
South Carolina come by way OF
the gasoline pump and motor We
hicle license plates, according 10
Coleman w. Roberts. president Oh
the Carolina Motor club.
Out of $56,227,OOO total state

State taxes for North and South
Carolina are $79,811,OOO and over
81 per cent or $43,875,oOO repre-
sents motor vehicle taxes.
"Highest proportion of automo-
five to total taxes was shown 1or
Vermont, where auto taxes &C
counted for SOL per cent" Mr..
Roberts said. "Other leaders in
cInde Georgia, 70 per cent; Ne
hraska 1926 and Florida GIT. The
lowest proportion was shown IN
the District of Columbia with III
and South Carolina with 22.1.
an only IS states besides North

hicle taxes exceed so per cent OF
the total levies. Total state taxes
from all sources amounted to ST.
82S,0O0.000 last year OF when
S1,l56,O00,000 or about Al per
cent were automotive taxes. Thus
the Carolinas are well above the
national average.
Property taxes, once the prln-
cipal source of state government
income, long ago were replaced by
special automotive taxes. In ad,
dition to the registration fees and
gasoline taxes, the automobile is
subject to a wide variety Of spe..
cial state fees. not the least OF
which are the sales taxes now
levied by "a states. Income from
this one source last year amount
ed to approximately $7O,0OO,O00.
"Besides the state and munich
pal taxes the federal government
takes heavy toll in excise taxes
on motor vehicles. The Carolina
Motor club strongly opposes con-
tinuation of federal taxes on new
vehicles, parts, gasoline. oil and
accessories and it is hoped that
the next congress will remove
these levies."

WIDE UPSPRING

OHIO STARTED
State Is Quick to Reflect

Business
BY HENRY B. HENSON

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 81
(UP)-MasS rehiring of Detroit

an upturn in highly industrial

Joining in the upturn which
takes it's cue from Detroit. are the
highly industrial cities of Cleve-
land, Cincinnati, Columbus. Tole-

The Fisher Body company,
largest mandatory in this city,
expects to. add 800 production
workers in the next fortnight to
the 2,7O0 employed now. Fisher
here in top times employs as
many as $500.
Youngstown, in the General
Motors set-up in Michigan, sees
promise of continued record steel
production. Production there has
risen from the low 40s to the high
SOS in a few short weeks even
without that stimulus.
Men who worked only one and
two days weekly in Youngstown
earlier this year now are back,
generally, to a four and five-day
schedule.
Toledo plants, which always
have been closely linked with
Michigan motor making, by ma
ture and geography, already have
felt the upturn.
The Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass
company, in Toledo, pioneer max
err of safety glass, has recalled
325 workers in its Toledo and
suburban Rossford plants. The
Electric Auto-Lite c,ompa
which holds important '.Chrysler

Chevrolet officials said that their
production schedule for November
was larger than for any other
month of 1888.
In Columbus, workmen are be-
