Roadside Tree Planting, Mutual Inter-
est of England and Japan.
The first roadside tiee planting in
England on an extensive scale has
been accomplished by the County of |
Middlesex. Five miles of trees ex-
tend along the sides of the Great West
Road, and 13 miles of trees have re-
cently been planted on other new ar-
terial roads such as the Great Cam-
bridge Road, the North Circular Road,
and the Great West Road Extension.
Every mile of the Great West Road
has a different kind of tree. In years
to come, therefore, a magnificent
avenue of varying foliage will be
seen; of beech, maple, lime, chestnut
and plane trees. They are planted 60
feet apart on a carpet of grass 25 feet
wide. Some day, the planters hope,
people will go to see that avenue of
trees as they go to see the chestnuts
in Bushey Park.
The Middlesex authorities have
tried to put color into their roadside
vista. Along the other new arterial
roads have been planted red and white |
chestnut trees, beech and copper beech,
scarlet tipped limes, Norway maples,
Cornish elms, scarlet oak, purkey oak,
and common ash. Only forest trees
have been planted, because of their |
slow growth. The planters do not .
want to have to lop their trees. Peo-
ple have wondered why laburnham and |
almond trees have not been chosen but '
their size makes them impossible even '
for a road 100 feet wide.
PLANTING IN TOYKO. }
Tokyo, which has been planting
trees in the streets since the begin-
ning of the seventeenth century, held
a conference in 1907 on the trees suit-
able for street planting. The superin-
tendent of parks in Toyko was in Lon-
don recently and left the London
County Council a report of his city’s
experience in planting street trees.
He takes us back to the World Ex-
position in Vienna in 1875 when a
visitor from Japan saw Trees of Hea-
ven and locust trees and brought them
to Toyko. It was curious that he
should have gone so far for the Heav-
en Tree for it belongs to China.
The earthquake in 1923 destroyed
14,300 of Toyko’s trees, leaving 10,-
300. A partially new start could
therefore be made and there are now
15,300 trees in the streets. They in-
clude two of the best English street
trees—the plane and a tree similar to
the English acacia—Sopohora Japon-
ica. The Heaven Tree also flourishes,
and, of course, the flowering cherry.
Last spring Tokyo sent London 30
species of flowering cherries and
plums among nearly 1000 other trees,
planted mostly in Peckham Rye Park.
The Japanese plant the weeping
willow in their streets, but it does not
“weep” so much as the English va-
riety. The trees are planted on the
sidewalks 24 feet apart in roads over
18 feet ‘wide. Some of the new roads
have two or three lines of trees. But
there is no grass at their roots; Japan
cannot grow grass because of the dry
climate.
ENGLISH GAKS SENT.
English oak trees found an admirer
in the Japanese park superintendent,
and 100 little oaks have been sent by
the London County Council in ex-
change for the Japanese trees. These
are for one of the parks. It was the
superintendent’s idea to have the
British Ambassador plant them in
one of the praks. English visitors to
Japanese parks will also presently
see their own flowers. such as canter-
bury bells, delphinium, foxgloves, hol-
Iy-hocks, honesty, clarkia, campanula,
and asters.
Altogether 271 English trees ard
shrubs in 21 varieties have gone to
Toyko and a large collection of seeds.
Tokyo sent in exchange seeds of 55
varieties of trees and shrubs, and
these are being cultivated at Kew
Gardens and other botanical centers,
as well as at the London County Coun-
cil Nursery at Avery Hill.
Dave Lewis to Race at Altoona Again.
-Dave Lewis, veteran race pilot,
whose familiar smile has won its way
into the hearts of-thounsands of race
fans, has ‘been numbered among the
first to tender his entry in the coming
June 11th classic in the great racing
bowl at Altoona. Like his most in-
timate associate Earl Cooper, his sen-
iority over the roster of leading Amer-
ican pilots represents a career as in-
teresting and fascinating as romance.
Lewis enjoys the distinction of
fathering the front-drive Miller spe-
cial built especially for his use. His
demonstrated driving ability won the
confidence of Harry A. Miller, famous
engineer of Los Angeles. The repu-
tation earned by Lewis and Miller last
season through performance of this
car, duly credited the record of pilot
and manufactuer alike. The admis-
sion of the new design into the realm
of racing is a crowning achievement
and a pronounced succcess.
The fact that Dave Lewis created
a non-stop 250-mile record at Altoona
last June in his mad dash over the
pine boards, contributes a feat that
is yet considered outstanding.
Predictions are made that this pilot
will again be favored as a possible
victor in the June 11th classic.
Dog Law,
The Dog Law of 1921 reads as fol-
lows: “Any person may kill any dog
which he sees in the act of pursuing, | M
worrying or wounding any live stock,
or wounding or killing any poultry,
or attacking human beings, whether
or not such bears the license tag re-
quired by the provisions of this act.
There shall be no liability on such
persons in damage or otherwise for
such killing. Any unlicensed dog
that enters any field shall constitute
a private nuisance, and the owner or
tenant or servant may kill such dog,
while it is in the field, without any
liability or responsibility of any na-
, should not be served in the same meal
ture for such killing.
DAILY THOUGHT.
God loves us 211 but He can only give
grace to the good.
—Wire racks for hot dishes save
many burned fingers.
—XKerosene and whiting will bright-
en the dullest zinc-covered table.
—A little lemon juice or cinnamon
improves apples that lack flavor.
—~Cheese is a hearly food and
with other hearty foods.
—'Tis said that baked ham with
cider sauce is a dish to tempt a king.
—A double bolier insert for the
teakettle makes one utensil do the
work of two.
—Weather strips around the win-
dows will keep down the coal bill by
keeping the heat in the house.
—Rub leather covered furniture
with neat’s foot oil two or three
times a year to keep the leather from
cracking.
—Laundry chutes that are glass
lined make sanitary, durable, economi-
cal and distinctive installations.
Heat insulation for houses involves
a number of signal features about

e.
Electric fountains, in addition to
beautifying the home, are an extreme-
ly healthful feature as well.
Sash sustainers take the place of
weights and insure many years of u .i-
broken window operation.
Heat equipment provides a means
of increasing the value of the house,
and every builder should have com-
plete information at hand.
Dumb-waiters and elevators stand
for convenience and good-building pol-
icy in every building work today.
Tank fittings may now be had that
insure noiseless water closet opera-
tion.
Electrified eggs, guaranteed to keep
for years, and designed to aid in keep-
ing down the cost of living, have been
placed on the British market. This
invention by which eggs are sterilized
by means of an electrically heated oil
bath makes it possible, it is asserted,
to keep eggs almost indefinitely.
—Sweaters are to be the thing for
spring, there is no doubt about it, but
it is a far cry from the staid and
sturdy sweater of yesterday to the
fascinating little frivolity that takes
this name this season. It may be a
fine, soft little combination of zephyr
and silk, just enough silk to give it a
delicious sparkle. Its neck will be in
the crew style and it will be in allur-
ing springlike shades. Already these
new sweaters are seen on girls who
know what’s what and they are very
smart to use under the clever little
suits that spring is bringing forth.
Of course, georgette crepe and crepe
de chine will be popular throughout
the spring ard summer. Gowns will
be made in immense numbers of solid
georgette and solid crepe de chine.
And the combinations of the two will
be almost numberless. Two different
colors of crepe de chine will make
some gowns, two different colors of
georgette will makes others, and
many will be made of one of these
materials and trimmed with the same
shade of the other. The tendency to
make a gown of one material and
trim it with another material in the
same shade is developing more and
more.
Bear in mind, when considering the
fullness of skirts which I have refer-
red to, that this slight change will
never at any time be allowed to inter-
fere with the straight, slim line of the
silhouette. Any changes that are
made will for a long time have to he
made with entire respect for this ab-
solutely straight line. Nothing can
possibly be done which alters that in
the least.
—“Blue,” say the cablegrams,
“every shade of blue.” Patou uses
it, so do Descat, Goupy and Vion-
net, Lelong and Lanvin. Blues, from
turquoise to robin’s egg, from ciel to
cornflower. Blues like a starspangled
sky, blues like autumn mists and
smoke, blues for the Army and Navy
and good old Eli! You'll be in fash-
ion if you wear blue. And twice as
much in style if you wear more than
one shade.
: Black-and-white is another success
In every opening. Lanvin makes
much of white, and presents many
white costumes worn with the black
beret she likes so well.
Jersey and silk are favorite mater-
ials. The frocks are jumpers worn
over a box-pleated skirt, frequently in
a contrasting shade or color. Often]
the blouse is striped or is embroidered
in floral patterns in an all-over design.
Jersey cardigans worn with pleated
skirts met with much applause.
—For the little patties of maitre
