i FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 13, 1918 > " TREES ALONG CITY STREETS .Work Done by Philadelphia Organiza. tion Might Be Copied to Advantage in Other Places. The Society of Little Gardens from the time of its inauguration recognized street tree planting as one of the city’s most vital needs and its interest in the idea received a tremendous im- petus from the clever plan conceived and cerried out by Miss Edith Howe in the early spring of 1915. Instead of contenting herself with a couple of trees in front of her own door, Miss Howe determined to have the whole bleck planted in an effective manner. To cbtain this end she con- sulted the Fairmount park commis- sioners, who haye charge of the trees in the streets of Philadelphia. They were glad to assist her, and sent her an expert who drew up a ground plan of the block, with an estimate of the cost of planting; and armed with this she | | | | | | E i ‘)/ \4\ invited her neighbors to co-operate with her. I Her success was remarkable. Enough money was subscribed not only to plant the trees, but to have them cared for for three years. Some of the officers of Little Gar- dens, hearing of this well-thought-out plan and its results, determined to try the same methods of a larger scale and endeavor to have all Spruce and Lo- cust streets and others transformed fnto avenues. Accordingly letters were written to a number of public-spirited women inviting each to undertake the planting of her own block; and, in re« ply, 11 agreed to make the experiment. ‘That the effort has not been invariably nuccessful goes without saying, Nevem theless, much has been accomplished. ~—October House Beautiful. STAIRWAY AND FIRE ESCAPE tngenious Scheme by Which Double Object Was Achieved at a Com- - paratively Small Cost. At the rear of a frame building that serves as a public meeting house for citizens of a small New York town, an outside re-enforced concrete stair- way has been built as a fire escape.

The ancient firm of G. Apicello & |ons, fish denlers since the days when Garabaldl lived on Staten island, has recelved a -1,200-pound consignment of whale flesh. It came, properly frozen, from Alaska, and since there was so much of it and since the Apicello firm fad reason to think that the New York public lacked knowledge and experi- ence of its perfections, it was “marked down” at the price of 25 cents a pound. But from the moment 1t was placed on the counters It began to go like the proverbinl hot cakes. Whale meat was served for the first time in New York last winter at a din- ner given specially to introduce it at the Museum of Natural History. But that meat was canned. Persons pres- ent at that luncheon and among Ap!- cello’s earllest buyers recently say that whosoever once tastes the genuine article will avold the soclety of the canned substitute for the remainder of his natural life. Farming in Australia. Conditions governing agriculture in Australia are described by Commercial Agent Juan Homs in his report on “Agricultural Implements and Machin- vy In Australia and New Zealand— e et i :.:m,;mnwmmfl,,_,m._—..;‘ -y S / Special Agents’ Series No. 166.” American farm tools and machinery are well liked in Australin, but they are not, in some instances, adapted to the needs of the native farmer. There would be a greater demand for Ainer- fean tractors if they couid be used on ground that has not been cleared of stumps. Many other ietails regard- ing the farms and their requirements 're discussed in the report.

THIS IS THE HUNGER MAP OF EUROPE LOOK AT IT WELL—OBSERVE ITS MARKINGS AND WHAT EACH MARKING MEANS AND THEN ASK YOURSELF IF YOU WILL SAVE. g Here is the hunger map of Europe. Study it well and then determine for yourselves whether there is need for food saving in America this coming year. Just before Herbert Hoover, United States Food Administrator, sailed for Elurope on Saturday, Nov. 16, he made this statement: ““The food problem in Europe today is ome of extreme complexity. Out of £20,000,000, practically but three areas—-those of South Russia, Hungary, and Denmark, whichr comprize some 40,000,000—have sufficient food supplies to last until next harvest without imports. Some of these must have imme- diate relief. We can acquire a surplus of some 18,000,000 to 20,000,000 tons of food in the United States if we are economical. The food situatiorf abroad ¢an be handled if this and the other small surpluses in the world can be trans- ported. 5 “Arrangements have been made long since whereby the big Allies— France, England and Italy—will be provisioned. This covers 125,000,000 people. Our first and deepest concern NOW must be for the little Allies— Belgians, Serbians, Roumanians, Greeks, Zecks, Jugo-Slavs and others. They represent another 75,000,000 people, and must be heiped al once. * : “Our next concern must be to relax blockade measure; as far as possible that the meutral states in Europe, all of whom now ave oxn vhort rations, may be able to care for thelr people and so prevent the growth of anarchy. Thia takes another group of 40,000,000. «“Still another concern, which confronts the countries where food is plenti- ful, is to be found in North Russia, where there are 50,000,000 people, many, many millions of whom face starvation this winter because, through anarchy and the breaking down of transportation, they may not be reached. “Finally, there is & great problem in the situation of the enemy people— some 90,000,000, This problem is not one of going to their relief but of relaxing the water-tight blockade (which continues through the armistice) to such an extent that they may #ecure for themselves the bare necessities that will give stable government. Famine is the mother of anarchy. Justice requires that 2 government be established which is able to make amends for wrongs done and it cannot be accomplished through the spread of anarchy. 1 would cer- taluly approach this problem with mixed feelings, having long been a witness to the robbery of food from women and children and the destruction of mil. lions of tons of food at sea and to the misery suffered under the German yoke. Unless anarchy can be-put down and stability of government can he obtained in these enemy states, there will be nobody with whom to make peace and nobody to pay the bill to France and Belgium for the fearful destruction that has been dune.” 3 Something over 200,000,000 people now are in social disorder.

We all know the advantages of a youthful appear- ance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray and looks streaked, just a few amplications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its appearance a hundred-fold. Don’t stay gray! Look young! Either prepare the recipe at home or get from any drug store a 50-cent bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” which is merely the old- time recipe improved: by the addition of other ingredients. Thousands of folks recommend this ready-to-use preparation, because it darkens the hair_beautifully, besides, no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so natural- ly and evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, its natural color is restored and it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and you appear years younger. Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com- pound is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, miti- gation or prevention of disease.
