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

St. Joseph, Mo., employed a
time expert garden instructor last
year who organized the pupils of the
elementary school into garden clubs.
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.

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

Making Studies of Volcanoes.
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.
