I'oster a spirit of pride In the com
munity, give the x-ople something
worthy to be proud of. and that great
force, civic cotiscioiiMiess, which Is t'o
often dormant, will, work wonders.
A beautiful town attracts mere good
citizens, and nowhere else Is co-operation
richer in results than when the
aim Is for town betterment. A mu
u I (-1 j i:i J art commission Is the high
est form this tendency achieves, but
even bef:ire the art commission a civic
consciousness is necessary that the
needs of all. the health, happiness and
sanity of all the pe-iple, may be served.
And this civic movement may be par
ticipated In by the hum) lest. No one
knew this i.etter than the late Ceorga
E. Waring, 'r, who organized thechll
dreu of the east side 111 New York Into
a Juvenile aid society to assist the
"white wings" In maintaining cleanli
ness. The result was doubly beneficial.
The sordid places uere made clean, and
of equal value was the training of the
child In civic helpfulness.
Distinguished foreign critics visiting
America often comment ou the fuct
that our business men are ho taken up
with their own personal affairs that
they neglect the opportunity to serve
the city or t wn. That this service Is
an opportunity as well lis a duty Is
shown by the splendid results of the
efforts In this direction of the mer
chants and professional men of Cleve
land, O. Without the training received
us members of the chamber of com
merce no like number of men could
have accomplished so much for their
city.
There has been prepared a bill which
awaits favorable action of congress to
npiKiliit a board of artists whose duty
It will be to give opinions on the artls-
tic merits of all public construction I
and decoration hereafter to lie under
taken by the federal government.
Washington will be one of the first
cities to be beautified, ns a whole, un
der the direction of eminent artists.
The Pennsylvania railroad station now
building will be one of the most ar
tistic structures on the continent.
Even lu money making an Instltu
! tlou may show that sordid finance and
j art may go, hand In hand, f ir there
! arc few commercial buildings so fit-
tlngly designed as the Northern Trust
, company s borne lu I hlcago. Libraries
! and churches, whose chief Influence
upon the community Is not material,
minister much to the town's physical
beauty. Architects have rubbed hos
pitals of their grim ami melancholy
soinberness. Monuments and foun
tains, whose main purpose Is orna
mental, do or do not contribute to
civic art according as to whether or
not they are truly artistic and are har
moniously placed. A public service In
stitution, as the waterworks and Its
Hurroiiudiugs at Detroit, adds to the
beauty of that city.
It was due to the perseverance and
artistic clelennlmitloti of a young en
glneer that America adopted from lta
ly lines of beauty In the construction
of so utilitarian an object as an elec
tric light pole. Itranch lirook park. In
New Jersey, and I'.astiiian park. In
ItiH'hester, have recognized these as of
artistic merit. Another engineer urged
Architect Nichols to design the trolley
poles which are the crowning embel
llshment of Washington bridge.

HIS DUTY TO ESCORTWOMEN
..noil Klr4,l For Wmujin'a KnitraTov.
It Is claimed on goo,l authority that
the t'.r.t stiect sidewalk In the rulted
Mutes was laid by a woman 111 the
year IT HI. She was one of the Dutch
dames of New York, by nam Mrs.
Samuel Irovost The new sidewalk
Inspector of Dallas, lev , bus, on the
strength of this precedent, appealed to
the women of that city for assistance
In his work of Improvement. If the
various women's societies not only In
Texas, but throughout the entire com
munity, would Interest themselves In
tins field of endeavor, their effort
would be productive of much greater
f '"' the community than would b
possible through the production of
purely llter.irv or artistic essiivs.
I'almer'a 1'itllte (onalahlr Makes
Town an Ideal Abiding! I'lnce.
The little town of Palmer, Muss., ha a
a system of police protection which
makes It nn UIo.il abiding place for
spinsters and other women who r
without m:-.'e protectors, says the
Washington Tost.
It has two constables, one on duty
days and the other all night. It Is the
special business of the latter to look
nfter all unescorted women. He nieel
every trolley car that comes in from
Springfield after II p. in. and escorts
every unaccompanied woman in It tc
her home. He meets trains from the
east and west. If notllled. nnd looks
after the lone ivnumti passengers,
cheerfully carrying their grips as In
accompanies them to their houses.
And for all this he does not get a
tip or extra pay. He receives merelj
tin- gratitude of the fair sex of l'al fil
er aud their smiles. Such escort duty
'.lie tow n requires of him as b gh con
stable.
iteccntly a young schoolteacher li
(he town wisbel to attend a weddiuii
many miles away, but her attemlanci
meant that she w.otld be obliged to re
turn to I'ali ier at "J a. m. She wn
about to give up going when a towns
woman pointed out that all would bt
made easy by dropping a note to tin
policeman, asking him to meet that '.
o'clock tra il.
That Is lbs only udi'.fess at the post
oclce. The 1'oliceninn. With some nils
givings she wrote the notes, and at tin
appointed time the policeman was
waiting on the railroad platform for
her and escorted her home as If It wiif
the most common occurrence In thf
world.
Women who go Into Springfield to at
tend the theater and come home or
the last trolley car never fall to dror
a note to the constable, and he's al
ways on hand to see them safely to
their honic.1. If there Is more than one

tree planting. No matter bow widely
the choice of trees may vary, certain
rules should be observed. Neither too
young nor too old specimens should be
planted. Too young and tender trees
require too much extra care In trans
planting. They do better In the nurs
ery until the roots are strong and the
trunks solid.' Too large trees require
extra care In removal, severe cutting
off of the branches and a long rest
before the roots are able to make
growth and support the heavy tree.
Medium size and very healthy, vlgor-
j ous state of growth are of great ad
vantage.
Crowding Is to be avoided. Trees of
all kinds require even atmospheric
pressure all around, free circulation of
air and sunshine In order to be of
symmetrical form.
The California horticulturists plant
their palm trees as far apart as the
palm will be when the maximum of
palmate or primate leaved tops has
been reached. They are able to calcu
late correctly, for palms shed their
leaves, form-, new crowns all along the
years and thus grow In height riropor
tlonntcly greater than breadth. The
ultimatum Is to have the avenues
broad enough to avoid the branches In
terlocking overhead.
EVIDENCES OF NEGLECT.
Eur War Improve ttnadaldes and
Destroy Werde and Briers.
The roadsides and fence borders In
many arena are notoriously ragged
with weeds nnd briers, says the Amer
ican Agriculturist. Nothing tends to
Impress visitors more unfavorably
than to see such evidences of neglect.
In some Instances the rond supervisors
are at fault, but not lu all. The farm
era themselves should have pride
enough to lead them to do something
In this matter. If the supervisor ueg
leets his duty, the farmers responsible
for his appointment should hold him
to the discharge of his duties. But,
apart from anything that the rond su
pervisor may do or not do, the fanners
have a duty In this matter.
The mower should be used In trim
ming up rondsldes, nnd where the
mower cannot be used the scythe ought
to be. From one to three days will
trim up the roadsides of any ordinary
farm so that these will be presentable
all the year. Any farmer who la so
minded can command the amount of
time mentioned If he will. A little la
bor expended lu this way at the right
season would transform the appear
ance of wh nelglilmrhoods.
