I am ’ this would carry much more ! Lght than my own opinions, which . wll j also give, as it Is true, as exLned that Decatur is whole-heart-Lv'a community city. 1 am uot sure whether this is due to union, or just fear of expressing contrary sentf-n-nts For 1 have long since gotten next to the situation in Decatur, you must follow the leader or be downed by ridicule so very few say anything at all. Personally I think the town that hM two factions not quarreling, but working in competition, gets along quicker and farther. One can prove it anywhere. They do not become so Ingron. The magazine article referred to, hy Elmer T. Peterson, editor, is: "My vacation wanderings took me thru the city of Huntington. Indiana, I where a noteworthy thing has been I done by the community builders. ■An old, abandoned stone quarry, frowzy with weeds, stagnant water, and debris of various kinds, at the edge of the city, was taken over and made into a sunken garden, to form ! a part of a city park. Now it is a place of beauty instead of an eye- | aore. "It would be difficult to find a better illustration for the purpose of the Better Homes and Gardens national campaign to conquer the new frontier of civilized ugliness. “Yes, the quarrying of atone is necessary to the conquering of the wilderness; but an ugly scar is left. Factories and office buildings and homes are erected from the stone; the scar remains. It is a part of the new frontier, caused by the self-same civilization which creates well-being and comfort for the people, relieving the rigors of primitive life. Now it is for those of this generation to beautify the places laid waste by the first wave of civilization. "Mine has been a practical life, spent in neighborhoods where material productivity has been emphasized, but the strongest impression left by Huntington on my mind is not that of its factories or industries or commercial progress, but that of the sunken garden made from, an abandoned atone quarry. "There are those who think that the beautification of a community by way of private gardens and public grounds is an unproductive idealism. They should rid themselves of this primitive obsession. Ugliness is the most inefficient thing in the world, for it always goes hand in hand with disorder, poor sanitation, depression, and social incompetency. Order, light, beauty, and cheerfulness are factors for efficiency. “The community that beautifies its approaches and its public grounds and vacant lots, and encourages home gardening is the community that will always attract immigration and flourish commercially. The only trouble Is that beauty is more intangible titan obvious material factors. A certain midwestern city has flourished greatly in recent years. Most people attribute the growth to its factories, its oil development, and its other material things. As a matter of fact the progressive attitude of its city-planning commission and park board probably bas had more to do with the growth than any other factor. The fact that no one can prove it is poor argument. Beauty pays big cash returns.’’ I noted Mr. Peterson’s editorial with pleasure, for I have been intensely interested in gardening, vegetable, fruit and flowers, for three years. And 1 am more and more struck with the fact that in all the time I worked on the newspaper,— eleven years — I never wrote or read of a club that bad gardening for its work or study, t Is really becoming so fashionable, •bat I am sure the social columns will be relieved soon by garden activities, dual work in the garden is better ban spending the same amount of ®e kicking around in various reducn 8 stunts, or even tennis, golf and whatnot playing. And much more Productive for contrary to some opinons one must use their brains in ; gardening and I think it keeps them uch more fit.

I irst \\ oman Speaker of the House /A uG Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers, Republican Congresswoman from Massachusetts, had the signal honor of being the first woman speaker of the House of Representatives, when she received written authorization from Speaker Longworth to preside pro-tem in his absence.

Booth Tarkington spends several hours each day in her garden in actual work. The October Better Homes and Gardens contained an article on David Starr Jordan, who a few days ago passed away, relative to his garden in California. And others. When the children were just recovering from whooping cough, three years ago, we had to get to a sunny open place, so we bought this little place here and have been building it up little by little. Then it had nothing growing on it except grass and a box elder shrub and a small elm. These have since grown wonderfully, but I have now by actual count, one hundred forty-three different kinds of growing fruits, flowers and vegetables. That many kinds, not different colors or varieties of kinds. Study of scientific books, articles and catalogues along this line, with instruction from Purdue bulletins, have created new interest for all of us. Even the youngest, when two years of age, could call all the flowers by name. I read with interest of your recent flower show and wished I could enter some of my fine ones in it. I think I would have run away with several prizes. So I am sure that the proper spirit could be rolled up in doing civic improvement as well as Huntington. I don't know what has been done with our old stone quarries there, as I have been away ten years. But as I remember them they would make excellent rock gardens, and the clear water inside, unpolluted could be turned into boating places. They are too deep. I suppose for bathing—no beaches. As long as I can remember—nearly half a century now—the weeds have grown up along the river banks, but at the north bridge, there were flowers. too. great violets as large as pennies, and all the wild ones named by Mr. Quinn, recently. I thing he missed the wild rose, or does he not think of that as natively wild? The Minnesota disposal as told by Mr. Hocker is fine. The water can never be the blue of that of “lands of sky blue waters,” but some other disposal than running the sewage into the river, would make it cleaner and better. A negro can never be white, but that needn’t keep him from washing! As to the cost of making the civic improvement I would suggest organizing one of the garden clubs or civic improvement socities that have actual gardening for their purpose and then enter a national contest,. All of the great magazines sponsor them — the The Ladies’ Home Journal, Woman's Home Companion, etc. And then, for the love of nature, let all of those eighty-eight social clubs of Decatur, suspend operations for a year and pitch in and clean up the river banks. Not by back-seat driving, but actual work and ate how much better you feel. When I was there, by actual count, there were eighty-eight piffling bunco and bridge and pedro and sewing and pinochle and other amusement clubs, to say nothing of ladies’ aids and the Sunday school classes of the nine city churches, who met once a week, twice or at least once a month. It nearly drove me to distraction. Until my children got old enough to go to Sunday school, I did not darken the doors of a church or social house so fed up was I on the bickerings and piffling jealousies of the old home bunch. Sometimes I think that is why ministers themselves “left home.’’ Applying the same zeal toward civic improvement, the old place should hum. Then, too, not long ago the paper had an editorial on the town being infested with tramps. I was home last June for a week and the first tramp 1 had seen in six years, when I was home last, came to the door for a handout. He had come down Thirteenth street from the tile factory, where I suppose the old hangout. still prevails. Except for a tramp at Greenville, O„ I have not seen any in the ten years I have been away from Decatur, except when I visit De-

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1929.

Now, I remember the time when tramps were put to work on our streets at home, and they kept away for quite a "stretch.” The same commandeering of labor, would do the manual labor in clearing the river banks; or at least clear the town of tramps. This week I read an editorial wondi ering why the people should have been at Detroit's unfortunate night club instead of at home where they belonged at two o'clock in the morning. By the same token I had wondered why Decatur should need an allnight comfort station. Nothing is too goad for the people of the county, and I say provide it for them. But the court house is open to such during the day. And at night, the homes of their friends are open to them; there is nothing going on in Decatur at night. No business is drawn there by night, by auto parties, not even for hotels, as every place has a tourist camp, .where accommodations are in order. So why cater to tramps by all-night comfort stations? For the biggest tramps of the country go now byway of auto. And they beg their way as they go along. In the west, a big Packard, containing a man and woman applied at the newspaper office where my husband worked, passing the hat for money to buy gasoline to get back to San Francisco. after a week-end at Russian River, a noted resort. They spoke feelingly of the poor hospitality of the farmer who refused their petition for a free sample of potatoes to cook at the free auto camp. Not all of the autoists are like this, but the majority of those who sponge on free comfort stations are, and the class is fast becoming criminal, as many of the crimes over the country, not even excepting Adams county, show. I could go on and on about gardens in particular, so I for one, would be well pleased to read of garden clubs organized every whete. Here they have them and sometimes noted experts from Purdue speak. I so often wonder why we never paid any attention to Gene Stratton Porter while she lived. That rock is fine, but a cold way of expressing love for her. Why did she never speak at some of those literary clubs? Why isn't her place at Geneva made into a wild flower garden and made into a county park. The county should get above petty pealousy. Anyhon its better than having it get clear out of the county, and at Rome City. At Santa Rosa, Cal., I read of Jack London's old home nearby. The Ladies Aid held socials there, and in other ways created public interest. I wish more attention would be paid to gardening and farm activities tthd I would like, myself, to conduct a garden column. Sept. 24. 1929. Mrs. Tom Kane. LaFayette, Indiana. o Bell Buoys’ Warnings Bell buoys are principally of two types—those in which the bell is struck continuously by clappers set in motion by the swuylng of the buoy due to the action of the elements and those In which the bell is struck by a flapper through the agency of a spring set in tension by the rise and fall of the buoy on the waves. There is another type, not largely In use, in which the bell is struck continuously by a tapper set in motion by compressed gases. o Color Blindness Sometimes color blindness Is acquired. It Is then a symptom of diseases of the optic nerve and retina. Congenital colqf blindness usually affects both eyes and Is often hereditary, and may be partial or complete. It occurs In eyes whose power of vision may he otherwise perfect, but errors of refraction usually co-exist. Acquired color blindness may result from disease or accident. 0 ; Get the Habit—Trade at Homa, It Paw
