BEAUTY IN THIS MILL TOWN North Billerica, Mass., Declared a Joy to.Visitors, Also Has Few ) ; labor Troubles, . It might seem rather far-fetched to proclaim 4 relationship between the Profession of landscape design and the labor problem—a relationship, more- oyer, that develops into a beneficlary influence, helping in a modest way 1o render this problem less acute. There is evidence of-this fact at North Billerica, Mass., within twenty miles of Boston, wheére large mills are sitcated, says Egbert Hans in the Bos- ton Transcript. The owners of the mills have, as one phase of their wel- fare work during the last fifteen years, engaged a landscape designer of na- tional reputation to establish and maintain sultable planting about em- ployees’ homes, the plant and other buildings under the company’s control. To create and maintain an_interest among the mill employees In this work, the mills established a yearly compe- titlon, offering various prizes for the Zollowing actlvities: e The best kept premises, front and rear, The fraining of vines on house, porch, arbors, trolley or other posts. The placing .0f window and porch ‘boxes. 3 The designing end maintenance of flower gardens. The establishing and care of vege- table gardens. . The result of these efforts is dis- played in the general appearance of the town, through which no stranger can pass without carrying away a vivid impression of beauty and individuality. Yet North Billerica is not one of the modern garden cities created over- night, as a result of sudden industrial development. It is part of the town- ship of Blllerica, one of the oldest mentioned in the histories of the Bay state. The Talbot mills and other in- dustrles are responsible for its growth, and the unusual relationship referred to hias given it the not less unusual distinction of belng & beautiful mill . towns S TR WOULD PLANT USEFUL TREES Easterner Makes a Good Suggestion Goncerning a Proposed Road of Remembrance.” Referring to the Road of Remem- brance from Buffalo to New York city, which it is proposed to line on both sides with elm trees In memory of the dead of the World war, certainly guch a road lined with large elm trees would present an imposing appearance. Bat would not_this memorial road be just as imposing with the added ad- vantage of future usefulness if the trees planted were such as the stately ), walnut, the hickory and the white oak? asks a correspondent of the New York Sun. ‘Has not the time come for the plant- ing of trees for real us. rather than merely for ornamentation; and should not ornamentation and utility go hand in hand In such a matter? Is not the domestic supply of these valuable and useful woods much below what it should be, and should there not be new supply started wherever pos- sible? If the ‘planting 8: trees along the roadside 13 done with the idea of their being a memorial to those-who gave their all to thelr country during tlie:World war, would not such metnor- 1nls be emphasized in the beginning by the planting of trees that will grow In- to usefulness ns well as furnish shade and a magnificent appearance? Community, Ice Machines. There aré now in operation through- out the United States many central electric stations provided with ice- making apparatus. The unused power of the stations during the “light load” summer season is employed to run compression motors for liquefying am- monia in the process of freezing artifi- clal ice. . The plan has heen especlally suc- cessful with small plants supplying electric power and light for towns of | less than 5,000 inhabitants. In some cases the earnings of the auxiliary fce-making apparatus equal the annual return on the whole plant for ‘Other purposes—New York Her- ald. ““/Farmers’ Lives Are Longest. .The metropolitan industrial worker has one chance in eight of reaching seventy years of age and the farmer one chance in three.

New York Authority Urges Prospec- tive Hagne Builders to Remember Feathered Friends. RUTHSLATED TO PLAY FIRST BASE FOR YANKS By Henby L. Farrell (United ¥’ress Stafl Correspondent) | New York, Jan. 10.—Babe Ruth is slated to play first base next season| for the New York Yanks. New York will not be surprised to see the Swat King switched from patrol of the sun garden to the door- ! keeper of the American League cham- | plons’ infiewd. | Miller Huggins, manager of the| club, has not committed himself offi- cially, but he has let it be known that he has' been considering the| change for some.time. First base will not be “a strangc berth to the 'siugging sultan as he played the pogition with the Boston Red Sox, Late/in the season last year, the big Bam put in about ten minutes every day on the corner during field- ing practice, and he likes.the position. | While he was a capable left fielder, the Bam showed ‘weakness in getting | low drives and ground balls. He was| too heavy for the. position: and he| malqtaincd he didn’t get enough work chasing fiies to, keep down his girth. If Huggins gets Bob Veach from the Detroit Tigers or any other first-! class gardener, the change is almost 1 “Don't grow old with age” But how is one to Tive up to this philosophy? Miss White has been for years be- fore the public, and although she has not been so very longj on earth, a, point worth emphasizing is that she; appears to be just as young as when she began her stage carcer. How does | she do it? She says: “I am still a young woman accord- ing to the calendar. But I have been a hard worker. In fact, my work hns" been so constant and so wearing, physically, that I am sure it would : have ‘aged’ a very large majority of | girls. The trouble with most girls, I am convinced—at least in the motion | picture business—is that they have no system of counteraction—no fixed in- ' terest to which they devote their leis- | ure as enthusiastically as they devote | their working hours to the studio. In | other words, they permit their minds ! to run always in the sanfe groove or| rut. They get no rgaction. Hence | they miss the mental as well as the | physical balance which is a proserva- | tive of youth. ! “TOO WISE WIVES” AT ! ELKO THEATER TONIGHT! Lois Weber's latest photoplay, | “Too. Wise Wives,’ "which again ap- | pears ‘tonight at the:Elko theater is another of those iricomparably re-| produced ‘eross-sections of life in the | best American .society - which i Weber knows so well how to photo- | dramatize and which have created for | her d.distinctive following. 1 .. Claire Windsor, who a vear ago | leading feminine role in the picture. | Her ‘appealingly’ winsome charms are contrasted with the mature seductive- | ss- of the languorous Mona Lisa. Phillips Stalley, in real life the hus- band.of Miss' Weber, returns to the long absence. The other leading male role is piayed by Louis Calhern, until recentiy the star of the Oliver Moros- co speaking stage stock company. The play tells the story of a wife who risked her husband’s faith in her it order to win back an”old sweet- heart who had happily married. Two kins of wives are contrasted: the! one who does everything she knows | will please’ her husband and the one who does the things she believes should please him. One fails where the other #ucceeds. And the one who | succeeds is the faithless wife, The finalé is a surprise. REAL DRAMA OF SOU.

True love | —1for her sister—takes the star into| a devious path which will bring case joy and surccase from pain to the| iitt'e sister, but to obtain which Miss Glaunt makes a woman's. sacrifice.

N A Home owners, in planting trees, shrubs and “vines, should take into ' consideration the idea of growing | plants that will attract birds, accord- | fng to Professor Alan I'. Arnold of the New York State College of Fores- try, who finds that there is a possibili- | ty of many of our native birds dis- appearing altégether for lack of food and shelter. The list of trees, shrubs and vines attractive to birds includes many of our most ornamental plants. There is no more valuable evergreen tree for ornamental purposes than tie native red cedar; it aso provides the best shelter and nesting sites for birds, while they find food in the berries and ‘insects “commonly found on the tree. h The native flowering dogwood and the Chinese flowering crabapple are two particularly beautiful trees that ure favorifes with the birds. The gray-stemmed dogwood, honeysuckle, American elder and sheepberry aro al- 50 serviceable to the birds, and orna- The Virginia creeper, one of the most popular vines, furnishes nesting sites for birds and draws the attention of the birds away from grapes, apples and peaches. “If one has a place where plants of a wilder sort can be introduced,” said Professor Arnold, “and wishes to make a special point of attract- ing birds, there is a great variety Beauty as Civic Asset. If we want to draw self-supporting outsiders to the-city as a place of residence, beauty attracts more quickly thao anything else, asserts ‘the In- diarapolis News. A good many hold to the view that this argument applies only to the more wealthy districts. There is nothing more false than this. It applies equally to the working home districts. There are working home dis- tricts in this city which, if left alone, will remaln beauty spots. The houses are set back from the sidewalk suf- ficiently to admit of flower beds and lawns, which in summer are most at- tractive. These districts should be protecteil by a zoning law that would not permit a grocery store or a ga- rage to get into their midst. Analysis of the situation will show that by spending a little money the taxable value of certain districts can be ralsed so it will cost the public nothing and a ‘beauty spot will he arded to the city. VETERANS OBJECTING TO CIVILIAN DOCTORS New York, Jan. 10.—Proposed sub- stitution of civilian doctors fox medi- cal reserve officers in government hospitals has precipitated a mammoth indignation movement at the Fox Hills hospital, Staten Island.
