CIVIC IMPROVEMENT. The civic Improvement Idea is growing rapidly all over the country and plans fot the further beautlflca tion of various cities are constantly being made. The trouble with most cities, from the standpoint of attrac tiveness. is that they were built with out being planned beforehand and hence lack symmetry. In a number of ways this defect is now being rem edied In cities throughout the coun try and landscape architects are be ing employed to suggest ways and means of providing for more atten tion to civic beauty in the further ^Improvement of those cities. A few hundred dollars spent in the employ ment of a competent municipal ar chitect for a short time would be a good investment for any city. An expert in this line could give valu able suggestions that might prevent mistakes in the future, as far as look ing after civic beauty Is concerned. In discussing the rapid growth of the civic improvement idea and the steps being taken by various cities along this line the New York Evening Mail has the following: "Some Interesting Information concerning the movement for muni cipal Improvement In the I* n lied States is presented in a bulletin is sued by the American Civic Assoc la - Hon from its new offices In Washing* ^ ton. According to the facts set forth, there is a widespread awakening to the heed of broader ideas in city planning. This growing desire for' more attractive cities and towns has already developed what might Almost be called a new profession, the mem bers of which bear the same relation to the making of cities that archi tects do to the building of houses. The whole movement Is educational In the truest sense. "Washington, the first American city thm was planned before It was built naturally screes as a sort of Inspiration to the leaders of .this new enterprise. Following Its example, Chicago proposes to spend $75,000 on plans for murflclpal hetterments which will cost $80,000,000. Bos ton, with a great exposition projected for 1915, has decided upon an early extensive study of Conditions with a view of obtaining the best artistic effects In" the proposed structures. St. Paul, San Francisco, Detroit, Cleveland, Rochester, Norfolk. Read 'flffc, Minneapolis, Cincinnati.^ Spo kane. St. Louis, San Diego, Birming ham, Dallas, and Seattle have all taken steps in the direction of better planning for future development, the object In every case being to secure an Improvement order of construc tion combining a finer union of utili ty and beauty." THIXGH as thby ark. Ij* ' (Chariot^ Observer.) - We welcome Mr. Thomas R. Daw ley. Jr., who was discharged by the bureau of labor at Washington be cause he conscientiously reported upon Southern mill conditions as he found them and not a a the bureau officials would have them appear, to Investigations on his own account In this city and section. We hear with pleasure that Mr. Dawley proposes preparing and submitting to Con gress an independent report. This action will have special importance tn view of dark hfnts recently given out by Commissioner N'elll to the ef fect that horrors which even his ac tivities havo never before revealed Will be made public before long. Peo ple acquainted from intimate experi ence with Southern mill conditions can properly estimate the, result. If not the motive, of Mr. N'elU's work. They know that these conditions have nothing sensational about them, are an almost Immeasurable advance upon the life from whlcb moat m 1)1 operatives or their parents came, afl? are being constantly Im proved by mill managers In -coopera tion with the public school authori ties and the Christian ministry.

The bed piece, flv? and * hair inches long, la cut out of a hard plank tw? end a half Inchee thick, bolted at each end and In the middle to. prevent split ting. The rear half la nine Inchee wide, and the front half six inchee wide. The diggera are made of ateel bare two and a half Inches wide, three quarters of an Inch thick and twenty four Inches long. They are faataned to the plank bj a right angle turn and bolted. The two rear diggera are held flrmljr by a rod with nnta Inside and out. the pointi being apread out ao that the bed piece can eaally drop Into the space when the ditch la two feet or more In depth. The front dig ger la the same slse. but qet in the middle. All are hfeld^&rmly by brace rods and sharpened ftke the Hat end of a pickax. A wheel la aet under the front end to steady the thoveoient and la braced backward. An adjuat* The Digger Equipped, bit draw iron is placed above, through which the rod may pass at any height suited to the depth of the ditch. The handles are alio adjustable, raising them as the digger drops low* ?r. In hard subsoils one will save the cost of th|s simple device In digging seventy-Are rods of ditch. In our hardpan sections of the east, which always need drainage, one doee not reel encouraged to dig ditches with pick and shovel when more than half the energy Is required to loosen the dirt- With this machine the toughest subsoil when dry handles aa rapidly as loose Rand. Good Rosda. A resolution was adopted at Darden Pomona Grange asking all the aubor dmate and Pomona Oranges to dis cuss the advisability of having the State Grange at (beir next session to ask the governor to include in bis call for a special session a request for a law permitting good road districts to bo formed and the property owners ef the district to be allowed to vote a special tax levy or vote bonds for good roads in that district We believe that tt)e subordinate lecturer should have this subject dis cussed In their Granges. Under the present system c I building roads by subscription J I of the people pay their share and the remainder do not. and receive the same benefits, while under this system everybody would pay bis snare. ? Sawdust for Roads. Sawdust is utilized in the South for roadmaklng. Two ridges of earth are thrown up with a road machine at the required width from each other, and the space between is filled with a six inch bed of sawdust, which Is then mixed with the dirt. This Is said te make a roadbed on which the tires of the heaviest loaded vehicles make no impression. cost is stated by the' Jacksonville S^mes-Union to be about 1300 a mile. ~s flawing It to be abeut the cheapest road material !o use. One or two such roads were con structed in a South Georgia county twenty years ago and still In good co? dltlon. showing its durability. Of SOI persons arrested ror carry ing pistols in New York in 1909 the magistrates discharged 113 and let many feo with suspended sentences or light fines.

If the government authorities at Washington propose to decide offic ially what Is Ice-cream they should move faster than when they under took to determine what la whiskey. The season for Ice-cream sodas will be here In a few weeks. nSgW.^r* Ing of All for ?pain. Fore more than 4#0 jht? toe bodle* of dead Spaniard* have niled ihe trenches and the battle plates from North America to Terre del Fue CO and from Cuba to the Philippine*. Every family'* dead la scattered pver the earth. Aad It haa all tee* la Tate. The people of 8paln has* only reall/ prospered since we relieved them of this burden of world-power and world meddling which we ate finding so costly aad troublesome. They have seen all go, savs a few rocks on for eign ah ores, of which Ceuta aad Mettl la are the most valuable, aad they are willing to let them go rather than pay trtbf&e to the war god*. The Liberal*, the Republicans, the Democrats, tea progressive common people, and the mothers of Spain Jtavs had enough of It alt They demand leaa war and more education tor Spain. The Morocco war Is not aew. It I* only another echo of that momentous reign of Ferdinand and Isabella. The preeent war 1* directly attributable to. the 'opening of mine* ? and raid* oa those mine*? fifteen mllea Inland from Melllte. But at a matter of fact thla la only the prewnt day provocation. Underneath and behind It, amolderlng through centuries, are the Urea of the hatred for the Spaniards that the Moor* brought over to the Riff coast when they were expelled trotn Spate and when, leaving Granada, they even carried their keys with them to Africa with the determination to return to use them. The present war began In Melllla only five years after TColumbu* die covered America, when the Spaniard* following the Moors, established the Spanish town and convfct-wtatlon on the rocky peninsula which la now Melllla, and to which 8paln la now sending her soldiers. And this time the Moors are equipped with the Tory rifles that the Spaniards carried In Cuba, sold to them by a short-sighted government They have the hatred, the villainous appearance, and the I nrraa to make this "last sigh of the Moor" the most distressing one at alL | Soap for the Orient. It Is told by travellers that the homes of the common people of China are bo wanting In cleanliness that a Russian dog would refuse to live In one of them. The peasantry are said to be unacquainted entirely with the benefits of water except for Irrigat ing and drinking purposes. ^sj^rom the report of the Deputy Con* sul-Ceneral at Hong Kong It appears that a new order of things Is begin ning to Interest the Chinese. Among the Inhabitants of Southern China a brisk demand has of late sprung up for soap, in tte year 1906 Great Brit ain sold more than $500,000 worth, and In the same period soap to the value of 922JDOO has been Imported from the United States. The Euro pean business has almost doubled In a year, and the Americans are doing better than ever before. The Deputy Consul-General says that the demand Is a growing one, the taste of the buy ers running toward the highly scented trades and those with attractive wrappings. He thlnkB that American manufacturers could do very* well if they went after the business, putting their products up In cartons marked with Chinese characters. ? Toledo Blade. Japanese Coins the Finest. If comparison Is made with coins of other countries It Is found that, so far at least as the experience of the New York assay office goes, the American coin, although falling considerably short of the absolute fineness. Is about as good as any other gold coin cur rent In Europe, and better by a good deal than some of them. The average of German coins that have been melt ed down at the assay office has proved to be about 899,626, the average fine ness of French coin about 899.4, while the Spanish coins have frequently b<een found to be as low as 896. In all these, countries the legal fineness Is 900, so that these figures Bbow that there Is considerable variation from thenomlnal fineness of coins, not only herfc>but in Europe as well. It li an Interesting fact ? light recently thrown on Japanese affairs in gen eral makes it possible to say a curl- | ous fact? that the Japanese coins in the matter of fineness are superior tn all others.?
