PLANT -RIGHT KIND OF TREES ‘Expert on Subject Offers Advice to Outdoor Art Committees of Town Booster Clubs. Booster clubs for town planning and svic improvements are the natural utgrowth of our war-time defense and ratriotic leagues. Our suburban towns thould not.overlook this opportunity to 1tilize these war-time organizations in ‘urthering the welfare of their com- nunities. ®any interesting activities an be carried on, for the improvement ind beautification of your town and rommunity. I would suggest the fol- ‘owing as being important, interesting ind practical. Have your boosters’ club appoint an natdoor art committee. The members i this committee should be citizens who can give considerable time, are sublic spirited, self-sacrificing and ape sreciate what town Improvements nean. This committee should recome mend the adoption of an ordinance for hhe protection and regulation of tree ylanting on all the public streets. It should condemn the planting of toft wood short-lived varieties of trees ike the willow, boxelder, cottonwood. poplar and soft maples. All of these are z» nuisance and in many cases de- structive. The roots of the willows, poplars and cottonwoods fill the sew- srs and Injure pavements, while the box elders and soft maples are always teriously affected by insect and fungus Yiseases. Only the hardwood long-lived vari- ities should be recommended by this sommittee, such trees as the American olm, réd and pin oaks, sycamore, Nor- way maples, lindens, ginko, ironwood, locusts, etc. These trees will grow to g several hundred. years old, are not serlously affected by insect and fungus liseases and seldom look shabby or ansightly.—J.

The power granted clities by the |}/ United States Supreme court to elimi- nate billboards altogether .in the resi- dential districts is hailed with appro- bation by the American Civic associa- tion_in a-bulletin which it devotes to the billboard evil. . The d-cisior which protects the millions of dollars Invest- d in homes and civic improvements was rendered in the case of the Cusack company against Chicago. The Civic association, in the strong- est’ lnnguage, urges communities to protect themselves from the intrusions of billboards in the residence districts. It calls the billboards “eyesores,” which depreciate property values. Los Angeles already has taken ad- vantage of the power given it by the Supreme court to bar billboards from all parts of the city except business districts.: Whether a block is in a businéss district s, determined by the wriften _consent of the owners of 66 per; cent of the property in the block and the two adjoining blocks. . So it will take the permission of the owners of two-thirds of the frontage In three blocks to erect billboards along one block. . The billboards may be banished at any time upon the request -of the owners of 35 per cent of the frontage. =Kansas City Star. Cut’' Metal Wtth Smooth Disks. Not 80 very long ago the discovery was made that metals could be sawed ¢asler and quicker with rapldly revolv- ing smooth disks of ateel than with toothed circular saws. It was found ‘that the cutting was don® by the heat generated by the friction #f the edge of the disk against the metal. The metul 1s melted at the point of con- tact while the steel of the disk, being coole¢d by the alr, does not reach the melting point. The disks need no sharpening and do not wear out so quickly as the toothed saws heretofore used for cutting metal. The faster the disk revolves, the greater the amount of heat generated and the quicker the Job.~—Popular Science Monthly.

Even the most inaccessible of post- oftices receive mail once a month In winter (though only one mail is car- ried then), and for those in the interior of Alaska the husky and the Malamute are mall carrler and Santa Claus com- bined.
