They hnvc risen In their original beauty from tho devastating flames In splto of destruction and city ordi nances, the former being tho hard est obstacle to got past. All the business blocks of' solid construction on the nvcnuo aro ad mirable, and reflect great credit on our local architects, whether all de signed by them or not. Starting from llroadway, wo find the Klrst National Hank, tho Coko building, the Chand ler hotel and Annex, tho Irving block, and the Xoblp theatre, all of good construction and ndmlrublo de sign. Tho Husscll building, a 'neer brick, has good Hues, hut not enough of them. Ktirthcr on, tho Myrtlo Anns looms up as an excellent example of good architecture and a credit to the Avenue. The building hardly glvc3 n fnlr show to tho church on tho ad joining lot, which, If 11 had a chance, would show Up fairly well, although Its "spire" doesn't point nnywhero and has a sort of feudal look, per haps Intended to suggest the church militant for the present. As for tho other buildings on tho Avcnuo, Including residences and sonio which hnvo been residences onto on a time, they nvcrago up well, although it would bo decidedly un just not to say that eomo nro better than others. Perhaps, of all them, wo could less afford to sparo tho warehouso of tho Water Company at Kourth, which Influenced tho experts of tho State Hallroad Commission to phico such n high valuation on the property, and boosted tho valuo ot tho street, and which so effectually "sets off" the Masonic Temple. All known varlotles of architec ture, nnd soveral others, aro repre sented on Central Avenue. Wo should worry, for Instance, about tho de struction of such Kuropcan antiqui ties (is tho Cathedral nt Ithclms, so! long as tho vouerablo plant o.' tlio I Oregon Power Company ream Its' massive bulk aloft at Hlghth and Central. Wo too, however may loue ono of our landmarks If tho city doesn't liavo tho lawn cut at tho Southwest corner of Ninth and Cen tral, as It exposes tho hoso cart house in tho street to a dangerous firo haz ard when things aro dry. Not to tako up further spaco with details, It may bo safely said (anony mously,) that tho architecture ot Central Avonue, up ono sldo nnd ' down tho othor, Is generally eredlt nblo, and wo would almost bo willing to sign the statement that it has Front street outclassed already, If wo leavo out of tho comparison tho City Hall.

Inspired and prompted by The Booster's brilliant and thrilling editorial In last issue about lawns nud beautiful surround ings, Al Myors promptly got busy and mowed his lawn In bis window and otherwise Improved appearances. Oood for you, Al. (ileal Iteforni I'mler Way I. S. Kaufman has always been a stout ad vocate of tho theory that tho Ameri can people oat too much. Ho admits modestly that tho present financial stringency Is doing moro to promote leform In this rcgnrd than all tho warnings of experience. Xo Cause for Alarm Several peo plo on Central avenue yesterday spied an unfamiliar patch of green townrd tho West, and It was thought by some that someone had been In spired by last week's Doast Pages" to grow n lawn. Others thought It was a mirage. On closer inspection, however, It proved to bo a cart of colery drawn by J. 13. Fitzgerald. Xo Cnstoffs Wanted Lionel Gor don, tho society blacksmith at Cen tral and llroadway, (reaching for a pair of shoes on tho shelf:) "Hero's a shoo that Is very much worn nuw." Posltlvo fcmnlo customer: "That's what's the matter with tho ones l'vo got on, young man; nult your kid ding and hand me out something now.'' Not. Fair to ('crmans Consider able adverso comment was stirred up over an alleged assertion or George Seellg's In one of his able defenses of his native laud, that "people seem to forgot that God mado tho Germans, tho oamo as other folks." Wo rush to George's dofeiiBO with tho statemout that wo think his assertion very :nodo3t, as wo hnvo always been rather led to tho bollor that tho Kal8o7'aWlcaIt.u1S(.,onered God. Peace Al Last Ulght on top of tho wolcomo howb ihot Gormany is conceding the claims of, tho United States, and war will bo averted, comen tho glad assurance that local differences aro holug adjusted.

Sound Advho A very old man, hesitating at 'tho corner ot Central nnd Second was courteously helped across the street by a youngor man, who steered him through the passing Jogging truckB with too much dar ing to suit tho older. Safely ucross, tho old mnu thauKcd his escort, and ndded, "tako this, youngfollor, from an old man who's lived ninety years and novcr had an accident, I've alius mado It a rulo when anything bigger than I wus wanted to cross tho street J SMILK-A-WHILK In front of me, to wait till It got by; and If it was n mule I waited till It got by a good safo wnys." Pnrelv a I.eual Oiie.sUon Throe i small children were (iiinrrellng the jothor dny over n worthless fragment of glnss they had found on the fill at Sixth and Central. A Marshflcld attorney, passing by, attempted to undertake to straighten the tangle, land asked eaeh child Jn turn why I he thought tho disputed article bo- longed to him. Ono said, "I picked It up over there; ' another, "1 saw It first," nnd the third declared con fidently, "I've got It." "Too deep for nio," sighed the would be Judge, "thero-aVo three fundamental propo sitions of law that hnvo Btumpcd ' mankind every since Moses tackled them." J SMILK-A-WIIILi; I , PKUSOXAL MKXTIOX.

Ho says con ditions are not ns black as they aro printed. WOLFRAM SCHMKDDING was n Central Avcnuo visitor Tuesday. Ho says he admires tho Kugllsh lauguugo but can't express his ad miration In their own tongue, having to resort to tho German for sultablo adjectives. AUTHUR McKDOWN was u Central Avenue visitor Monday, wearing a straw hat and a raincoat. Wo could not help tho bitter reflect ion that, although the banks nro glutted with monoy, mnny people aro unable to provide themselves with propor clothing. GKO. COt)K Ib homo from his trip to Portland where ho Investigated an Incinerator proposition for making gas, but he says ho wants to wait and see If there isn't ionic way of controlling and pip ing some o'f the gas that gener ates In tho Council chamber. Ho ulso thinks enough hot air might he secured for heating purposes It It could only bo utilized proporly. M1L0 SUMNKU, who drives his car down Centrnl Avenue every morn ing, noon and ulght, gays tho sub marlno attacks on Kugllsh ships are nothing to tho annoyance to automobile drivers by emerging Central Avenue dogs, and asks us to rap up the cnuluo owners.
