Comparatively Eaty to
Make Road Beautiful
Our rouiJultlHH are In no imall way
tli nation'! neari'Nt puWIc purk. To
fiilllldrn who cun go no fartlier tliejr

j-oadiiliJe come the trwie and flowering

Tiicy ere ernhnmilea of nature to tdone
who cannot travel from the beaten
path.
litit the romlnluVi of America now
are unkempt urn broken. Nature li
hacked away. Illclie are foul; the
flnt piled with dumplnK. The ilopee
are bare hewlile the hot dog shark.
The road goes through to domina
tion, but the main dentlnatlon which
very often I the beauty on the way,
usually li Ignored.
To the building coats end main
tenanre of roads a 1 per cent addition,
more or leu, for aiding planted things
and natural vegetation would double
the roads' real value. At small ex
penHe parkways can be made alonti
the public roads. Flowering trees can
be set out Slopes csn be vine cov
ered. The roadnldes can be made the
finest and moot useful park of the
entire nation.
Without doubt a great value of the
public roads Is yet to be realized.
They are UKed by motorists seeking
natural beauty. A trifle more expen
dlrire, with restrictive measures
a (M Inst eyesores, would make tbcu)
what the traveler hopes to flud.
Too Little Attention
Paid to Attractiveness
To son extent there has been s
growing regard for attractfveness In
building of dwelling houses and tht
design of premises; In both exteriot
and Interior plans for business places
great and small ; In the construction
of hotels, olhVe buildings and apart
ments, and even In tilling sta
tions. Hut we still have Investors who
Insist upon putting up merely utilitar
ian bouses, plain, unattractive siorea
dry goods box styles of apartments
and other merely serviceable construc
tion, when for a little more outlay a
much better Investment could be made,
or better results could be had even
with the same expenditure of money
and a little more application of In
telllgence. We still have home owners
who could well afford to keep their
houses and the lawns In order, but put
no value on the factor of attractive
ness; who do not appreciate the lm
lrtance to ihenwclves of making a
"good appearance"; who are content
to live In relative dlnxlness when they
could Rive themselves a brighter out
liMik on life from their private do
main. I'lilladelphla I-edger.
Warning In London's Growth
London Is pushing ou( Its tentacles
far and wide among what were once
the rural beaut l of the home coun
ties. The existing population, encour
aged by motor transport nnd electric
railways. Is creating new suburbs. Fac
tories recently erevted In the (Jreutet
London area are causing, according to
I'odor Unwln. .'ii.ti"0 people to move
Into It each year.. A city which had
all the potentialities of the most splen
did In the world Is spreading, not
splendor, but dinglncss. tawdrlness. In
convenience and muddle over an area
of 2,hkj stiare miles. And all t tils
spoliation is wcurrlng, not because
there Is no room, but In'cause there
Is no plan. London Pally Chronicle
Environment Counts
People reflect their environment
Those who live in stubby, down at
the beels houses are likely to feel de
pressed and discouraged. We borrow
tuucb of onr confidences and spirit
from our surroundings. If they havt
nothing to give no hope or confi
dence, no pride In home or Joy In liv
ing then they become a liability ol
such proportions that only the most
herculean strength can resist them.
Exchange.
Give More Character
When discussing plans for the new
home It should be remembered that
"character" and "design" are two dif
ferent things. A house may be do
slgned well and yet be wholly lacking
In character, or a house may be da
signed badly and possess character
Good design Is obvious, hut character
Is elusive and hard to visualize from
a set of plans.
Tries Hurt by Wires
Wires or heavy ropes drawn tightly
around a tree trunk or limb may slow
ly strangle the tree by retarding or
stopping the free circulation of wa
ter or fond, says the United States
Department of Agriculture. The care
less use of a long pruning hook or
utliet Implement for breaking off small
dead twigs should be avoided, the de
partment adds.
Pecan Trees Line Highways
Terrell county, Oregon, has a pecan
nlghwuy. Ty means of donations from
various civic organizations more than
J,.ri(H) pecan trees have been planted
Jong the highways.
To Beautify Roads
More beautiful highways are sought
by the Missouri highway department.

Always Better to Plujr
With Brain Than Body
"We hear a great deal about the
success that comes from plodding
and plugging," said Charles M.
Kchwab, "I do not deny that this Is
so, but on the other hand, the man
who plugs with bis brnln Instead of
bis body Is bound to go the farthest.
"A wealthy friend of mine bad
been forever bragging about bis son
who had gone Into the family factory
and worked eight hours a day as a
, mechanic. 'Uoth feet on the ground,
you know,' boasted the proud parent.
Ho when I met the lad, I said:
"'So you're the young man with
both feet on the ground. What do
you do for a HvIngT To which he
replied:
"T take orders from a mnn with
both feet on a desk."
Unwarranted Criticitm
rr. Isadore Falk of the University
if Chicago, who has discovered the
Influenza germ, said at a dinner
party:
"America carries on more research,
disinterested and unselfish, than any
other country In the world, yet we
are continually being abmted for our
materialism,
"Yes, Europe Is continually declar
ing that our American philosophy Is
summed up In the raw : .
"'Don't go gapln' around wonder
In' why a black ben lays a white
egg. Git the egg.'" Springfield
Union.
Early Aquatic Sports
In 1715 an Englishman named
Thomas Iggett Instituted boat
races among the fishermen on the
Thames. The first English regatta
of which we have evidence took
place on the Thames off Kalelgh gar
dens In 177.". This was modeled on
the Venetian regatta. The first race
In the Unite States occurred in
between two barges, the Knicker
bocker of New York and the Invinci
ble of Long Island, the former being
the winner.
Fight That Made Hiitory
' There were I'M) Spanish vessels In
the Spanish armada that undertook
the Invasion of England under Queen
Elizabeth. The English had K7 boats
that took part during the battle.
However, many were small boats
of little use. The fighting was done
almost entirely by the lare boat en
both Bides.
Scenery
"Do you select a road on account
fit Its beauty?"
"Oh, yes I" answered Mr. Chuzglns.
"There's a particular route my wife
and I always prefer, because we
think It has the prettiest cigarette
advertisements In the world."
Artiit of High Rank
WInslow Homer was the first to
be generally acclaimed the first out
standing marine painter In this coun
try and many critics regard him as
the best of the American marine
painters. '
. Crudtn's Great Work
Alexander Cruden published his
r.lbilcal Concordance in 1737.

ONE PRESCRIPTION "1
MADE FAMILY DOCTOR
FAMOUS----"'
Seldom has any single act been
of greater benefit to mankind than
that of Dr. Caldwell In l&SS, when
he wrote the prescription which has
carried hi fame to the four cor
ner of the earth.
Over and over, Dr. Caldwell
wrote the prescription as he found
men, women and children suffering
from those common symptoms of
constipation, such as coated tongue,
bad breath, headaches, gas, nausea,
biliousness, no energy, lack of appe
tite, and similar things.
Demand for this prescription
grew so fast, because of the pleas
ant, quick way It relieved such
symptoms of constipation, that by
1S8-S Dr. Caldwell was forced to
have It put tip ready for use. To
day, Dr. Caldwell's Rynjp Pepsin,
as It Is called, is always ready at
any drugstore.
