Expert City Planning. The first essential in advancing city planning everywhere is to get a defi nite plan, then make it known in order to get the necessary legislation and financial support to put It through. Cities should make a plan and de velop it piecemeal. That is. It should be like a building with a solid founda tion with five or six stories on it, but solid enough to carry 20 stories. The plan should be complete, but need not all be presented at once, nor should the efforts In carrying it out be sporadic or haphazard. An author ity recently urged the securing of ex pert talent to direct city planning for 1.1 interest —er of h all, nil. and not for a class the of citizens. Next Time—Buy A remarkable Product.

About 3,000 pupils reported that they were doing garden work before the schools closed in June, says their su perintendent. Of this number 2,394 entered their names for membership in the United States school garden army. The school children gardened 32 acres without help and helped their parents work an area of 394 acres. Although the season was very unfa vorable, a conservative estimate of the food produced by the pupils would be $15,000 at market prices. Keep the City Clean. With springtime usually comes a “clean up” campaign, and a movement in that direction is general in cities and towns throughout the United States. Appeal is made to civic pride, and people are urged to make their localities better places in which to live. This is good and desirable. But why not keep cleaning up all the year round? If things are not thrown into the streets, particularly bits of waste paper, they will not have to be picked up. Receptacles for refuse, If placed In back yards, and used, will help much in maintaining a condition of neatness. The cleanly habit can easily be ac quired.

The same spirit built the railroads, developed mines and oil wells, strung telephoneand electric pow er lines, opened up giant forests, built ships and, last but not least, conquered the burning desert and made it a garden spot by irrigation.

HARD TO JUDGE BY SOUND Nature Has Not Equipped All Crea- tures With Vocal Organs Commen- surate With Their Size. It is a very curious fact that the loudest sounds are not always made by the largest animals. The roar of the lion exceeds in sonorousness the cry of the elephant. Anyone who had only heard, without seeing, a bullfrog, might well suppose that Its fearful voice, breaking the silence of the night, must certainly come from the throat of an animal of formidable dimensions. Perhaps the most remarkable case of vocal power In an animal is that encountered by a traveler In the high lands of Borneo. He was informed by some natives that they had heard a tiger roaring in the neighborhood. Such news is always startling to a stranger In the jungles, and hardly less so to the natives. An investigation was accordingly set on foot, which resulted in the discov ery that the alarming roars had been emitted by a toad ! This toad of Bor neo, however, was by no means an or dinary member of the family. It meas ured no less than 14% inches around the body. That the natives should not have recognized the true source of the sound shows that the existence of such roads was either unknown to them, or at any rate, they had never discovered the remarkable vocal capa bilities of the animals. In this relation Bates tells of an In cident that occurred during his trav els along the Amazon. Among the many sounds heard In the dense Bra- zilian forests was a kind of loud me tallic clanking, that sometimes rang through the trees, and the origin of which the traveler was unable to dis cover. Whenever it was heard, the na tives cowered with fear, ascribing It to a supernatural origin. Possibly the noise was so loud that they missed its location by searching only for some thing of corresponding physical dimen sions.

As soon as I looked him over I knew from his frank, engaging smile, his openwork countenance and his free- and-easy clothes, where he was from. “Yes,” he said, “You’ve guessed it. I’m from the West.” “And you look down upon the East,” I ventured. "You regard New York as essentially provincial—believe that the Atlantic seaboard is infested by a spe cies of human being with ingrowing culture, with mock intellectualism, with narrow mentality, indeed with no natural, healthy, broad outlook on life.” “But I enjoy my yearly visit,” he said, pleasantly. “Certainly you do,” I replied. “You are wise enough to overlook the self- satisfied stupidity of the easterner, and there are opportunities for realization not afforded in the West. You can be vibrated in New York in many keys.” He shook his head. “You haven’t got me at all.” he said. "There Is, of course, something In what you say. But that is not why I really like the East.” “Then why?” I asked. “Because.” he replied, pleasantly, “In traveling through the East I always meet so many Westerners."—Chester ton Todd, In Judge.

The department of agriculture has begun the extensive observation of the volcanoes In the United States and In sular possessions and has recently taken formal charge of the observa tory on Kilauea. Hawaiian Islands. Prof. T. A. Jaggar. Jr., formerly of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who has been director of the obserra- tory since its foundation, will remain In charge. The investigations at Kilauea were begun In 1912 under the auspices of the Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology, and since 1913 have been maintained at the expense -of the Hawaiian Research association, consisting chiefly of residents of Hono lulu. It is expected that the weather bureau’s work in volcanology will be developed in many details and event ually be extended to Alaska and other regions under the control of the United States In which active volcanoes exist.
