MUCH BEAUTY IN SHRUBBERY
Recommended for Planting Between
Trees Where Luxuriant Effect
Is Desired.
Shrubs as well as trees have a
place In the beautification of the city
streets. In the suburbs and outlying
sections of the city one often sees
masses of shrubbery in the parkways
along the residence streets. I feel
certain that every one will agree that
this sort of beautification ought to be
encouraged in every possible way.
Planted between the trees, flowering
and other shrubs add much to the ap
pearance of a street. Such treatment
of our parkways need not be confined
to any particular section of the city.
Still, shrubbery is more becoming in
streets which have wide parkways and
naturally will thrive best and make
the finest showing In sections where
moat appreciated and best cared for.
Wherever such planting is done In
the residence sections of th* city,
along streets where a large number of
people pass dally, It should bo con
fined to the low-growing varieties, no
higher than three or Four feet. The
high-growing shrubs form demo thick
ets along the parkway which afford
lurking places for hold-up men and
thugs. The high-growing shrubs also
have a tendency to droop over on
the sidewalks, often causing incon
venience to pedestrians.
Such shrubs as the Thunberg bar
berries, Japan quince, snowberrles,
rugosa roses, matrimony vines and the
various wild roses make perfect
masse/ when left to grow In their nat
ural form. They should be planted
about two and one-half feet apart, de
pending upon the size of the Individ
ual hushes. The plants should be
placed Irregularly In masses, and no
four bushes should stand In a straight
row.
MILLIONS ARE TO BE SPENT
Seventy Citlee of the United Btates
Join In the Effort for Civic
Improvement.
One hundred million dollars Is to be'
spent to make seventy United States
Cities beautiful.
Improvements requiring thi* nine
figure expenditure have been planned
by municipalities all over the country.
Cities along the Pacific slope, cities
along the eastern coast and interme
diate cities are all part of the move
ment to evolve the real city beautiful.
It is expected that fifty more munici
palities will follow this pioneer exam
ple within a year and that foreign ob
servers soon will have to omit the
customary chapter on the ugliness
and monotony of American communi
ties.
When James Brice wrote his “Amer
ican Commonwealth” he remarked
justly that “with but five or six excep
tions American cities differ from one
another only jiaj some ajq bunt
with more brick than WOO 4 agd ethers
with mftrS wood yjan brick."
That these conditions are going iS
change was flettionstrate<f very clearly
in the course of the meetings of the
fourth national conference on city
planning, held at Boston. The mayors
of twenty-five different Cities accepted
the invitation tendered (O them by
Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston, the Bos
ton chamber of commerce and the
Boston City club. With them cams
many municipal engineers, many men
prominent in landscape architecture
and the representatives of many civic
organizations which are directing
their activities toward the rational
beautifying of American cities and
towns.
Community Improvement.
It Is not wise for a community to
undertake gensral Improvement until
each shall first have cleaned up his
own property. In fact a neighbor
hood must be noted for Its neat ap
pearance before much good will come
from united effort looking to the so
called cleaning-up for beautifying.
While rake and hoe and shovel will
aid much, saw and pruning shears In
the hands of one lacking Judgment
may do (and often does) more harm
than good. Spasmodic efforts seldom
result in great permanent Improve
ment. When one’s own premises are
above reproach he may with propriety
urge a very general improvement up
on the neighborhood. In attacking
and prosecuting this work observe
the same rules and methods by which
you keep your own place neat and
attractive, and you will not go far
astray. j
Ways of the Papuans.
The Papuans have no metals and n<
pottery. “The people at Parimau havw
a small piece of iron about the size of
a chisel, used for carving their canoe*
and paddles, for which the enormous;
price of three dogs had been paid, so
they informed us, to the people of Wa
katiml,” says A. F. R. Wollaston in his
“Pygmies and Papuans.” The Papuan
dogs, by the way, never l>nrk, “but
they make up for this defect by their
extraordinary power of howling,” as If
carried away by an ecstasy of sorrow.
The Tnpiro pygmies carry their knives,
the flint implements of prehistoric man,
in a skillfully netted bag worked In a
figure of eight stitch nnd use the sharp
flukes not ouly for cutting purposes, but ~
for scraping dowu the wood of their
bows and for pointing and ornament
ing their arrows. They carry about
with them also a sleeping mat fabri
cated by n woman out of pandanns*
leaves, some tobacco, which they smoke
In a cylinder of bamboo, and their ap
paratus for fire making—the split stick,
the colled rattnu and the tinder.
Caught at Last.
To bring about the victory of gooA
over evil has been assumed to be the
especial aim of saints and sage*, but
savages, it seems, may sometimes be
militant in the same cause. In Me
book, “The White Waterfall,” Mr.
James Francis Dwyer relate* the story
of a missionary who preached to a.
tribe of blacks In northern Queensland
and told them in simple language of
Adam and Eve and their expulsion
from the Garden of Eden. The episode
of the serpent much excited the con
verts, and when the missionary arrived
at the blacks’ camp on the following
day the natives had collected half a
hundred or more snakes, which they
brought out for the good man’s Inspec
tion. \
“But why do you want me to exam
ine them?” asked the parson, puzzled.
The chief of the tribe wlnkgd know
ingly.
“Yon tell ’em if old snake here thafc
mak ’em plenty trouble, Mr. Adam."
he said, grinning. “We think ’em you

INFLUENCE OF TROLLEY CARS
Have In Large Measure Annihilate#'
Distance and Made Comfortabla

In days of old cities were develops**
somewhat compactly, for business wear,
transacted In the immediate presence
of the principals. Then came in the
telephone, making possible easy an*
quick communication between die tank
points. This Influence alone
to the spread of city areas so far ael
business district* were concerned, butt
it has remained for the trolley ear td
practically annihilate distance ao fast
as residence Is concerned. This ha*
resulted in figuratively bringing the
country into the city, for one may
come to the center of Ix>s Angela*
from many points without the muniefte
pal boundaries as quickly as he may
reach the same point from some path*
of the city proper. One may evea*
come as quickly from Santa Ana oat
many of the beaches. Thus haa the*
trolley car made a great change tab
the growth of the land, both In ettyt
and country.—Angai* Timas. Jy
