Ger- mans are able 'to deliver anything in the electrical and steel line, from‘ small hardware to locomotive, at a| price from 30 to 50 per cent lower| than British oy, American houses. | American importers say they arcl not alarmed at the influx of cheap| German goods. They attribute the| low prices at which the Germans are | able to do business to the surplus, stock and the low value of steel for-| merly intended for war purposes and which las now been turned into peace ! time machinery.

The woman was discussing the picture with a friend, and both expressed as- tonishment at the outcome of the story, saying they never had dreamed it was a man back from the grave.

Five billion passengers, or nearly| f four times the 1,234,000,000 revenue passengers of the steam railroads,} were carried by automobiles in the: United States, last year. Motor trucks hauled 1,200 million tons of freight, or nearly half the 2,504 million tons carried by rail lines. Growth of the automobile business has not been com- petitive with the railroads, however, Much of it is directly tributary, as in bringing passengers from farm to train and in suburban service to cities: The 1920 motor car passenger figures represent an increase of 400 million over the preceding yeur, and the rail- ronds showed n gain of 60 million rev- enue passengers in the same period.

CCURT SETS VALUE ON TREES Decision That Will Be of Interest to Many Communities Throughout “the Country, In Salem, Mass,, a resident sued tho, town gas light company for damages caused by the Killing of five shade trees through the escape of gas from a leaky main. A verdict for $1,000 against the company was rendered— $200 a tree. The decision is said to have been awaited with a good deal of interest by surrounding towns, for tree killing from this cause is a com- mon thing. It has happened many times in Indianapolis, according to re- port, though complaints have not been heard lately with the frequency that characterized them lack in the days when natural gas was piped through the streets, hastily and no doubt often carelessly. The killing of a thrifty, well-grown shade tree is usually a distinet loss to. any property, commonly lowering its value. In view of the time required for the growth of such trees $200 is a moderate sum in the way of damages, and no amount of money, when it comes to thu\t, can really recompense the owner of the trees. They have to him, especially if he planted and cared for them, a sentimental value that dol- lars cannot measure. They have added beauty to his home and he has counted them among his. treasures. To a real tree lover, a beautiful tree, whether his own or not, seems almost to pos- sess a personality of its own and to see it struggle for life and gradually die, brings real sorrow. It is to view a calamity.—Indianapolis Star. SIMPLE FOUNTAIN FOR LAWN Easily Censtructed of Cheap Materials, and Adds Greatly to Attractive. ness of Grounds.
