What kind of trees shall we plant to beautify our grounds? What shrubs would be suited to our school yards? These are questions which are frequently asked the United States department of Agriculture. Soil and climate conditions differ so greatly in the different sections of the United States that tn answering such questions special consideration has to be given each section. The department specialist has prepared a special list of trees and shrubs suited for general use on private grounds, streets, private parks and school yards of Indlaaa. These lists are merely suggestive, but they include such trees and shrubs as seem well adapted to the particular locality, and they may be of assistance to those who are interested in the beautiflcation of towns and cities. Here is a list: Deciduous Trees Sugar maple, Norway maple, silver maple, green ash, white ash, American white elm, red oak, white oak, pin oak, American linden. Evergreen Trees Norway spruce, white spruce, Colorado blue spruce, white pine, Scotch pine, balsam fir. Shrubs Lilac, golden bell, exochorda, snowball, mock orange, hydrangea, Japan quince, flowering currant, calycanthus, cornus, deutzia, splrea, welgela. ' The beauty of a shade tree depends

upon its normal and symmetrical growth. In order to insure this, before planting cut off the -ends of all broken or mutilated roots, remove all Bide

branches save upon evergreens, so that a straight whip-like stalk alone remains. Dig holes at least two feet in diameter and one foot deep in good soil,' and make them four feet across )n poor soil. The sides of the holes should be perpendicular and the bottom flat. Break up soil in the bottom of the hole to the depth of the length of a spade blade. Place two or three inches of fine top soil, free from sod or other decomposing organic matter, in the bottom of the hole. On top ot this place the roots of the tree, spread them as evenly as possible over the bottom of the hole, and cover with two or three inches of fine top soil as before. Tramp firmly with the feet and fill the liole with good earth, leaving the. surface loose and a little higher than the surface of the . surrounding soil. When the work of planting is completed, the tree should stand about two inches deeper than it stood in the nursery. In order to insure symmetry of growth, trees must be allowed unrestricted area fo development At least forty feet should be allowed between trees intended to occupy the ground permanently. Quick growing temporary trees may be planted between the long-lived ones to produce- immediate results, but these should be removed as soon as they interfere with the development -of the permanent plantations. The lists of trees and shrubs contained in this publication are merely suggestive, but in all cases they include such sorts as are well adapted to the regions. . . , . , ... . .

-ATHLETICS WORKED WONDERS FOR U. S" DECLARES "FATHER OF AMERICAN SPORT"

Harry E. Buermeyer. - "Athletics has worked wonders for 'America: the sport has -made ova men better physically, morally and mentally.' From a weak, under-sized narrow-chested people to a strong, healthy and agile race has been thi transformation since the American youth took np athletics fifty years ago.' This is the opinion, recently expressed, of Harry E. Buermeyer, "Fatha of American Athletics," who is hale and hearty t seventy-six.

Horrible though, ain't It!"Baseball and golf won't mix," says John J. McGraw, ho recently took up golf after thinking for so many years that the game was a very silly one. John was opposed to golf as a means of recreation for golfers before he became a golfer himself. "And I'm still opposed, to It," "declared John. "The golfing game Is very liable to act as a hindrance to a baseball batsman. The golfing

swing and the baseball swing are entirely - different. - The golfer ewfags down and then up. Before the driving stroke-Is finished he has eotnpitrtjbd a full circle. Jl batter In a ball ame swings straight out. He doesnt get under the ball and try to lift A. He Kl 1 um,Ml In tha AmMiila

Athletics' Fans Fear Tango Training Stunt

PARENTS LACK ABILITY TO AID THEIR CHILDREN

"Parents are stumped by the questions in the second semi-annual examinations held last week," some of the Wayne township teachers declared. According to the teachers, the parents often admitted they cannot do fifth and sixth grade work by "book form" but the injection of pre-voca-tlonal courses into the schools is causing an evolution ot examination methods and questions are turning to the practical, every day problems. These kind of questions are what parents said they understood best formerly but when a chance came to test their knowledge, they were found wanting, some of the pedagogues de

clare. "Often my pupils take questions home to their parents" one township grade teacher told Deputy Trustee Chauncey Edgerton. "When they return, I find that the parents know in a general way but cannot explain which is no proof, that they understand any of the problems clearly as they should. "No one expects to go out and get an answer to such a question as this one: 'How did the mob behave after Anthony's funeral speech?' But such questions as these are not learned out of school books although they are given in examinations: "Of what use is the hair to the body? What is the effect of a cold bath on the skin? Of a hot bath? Which keeps the fingers warmer, gloves or mittens? Why? What is a narcotic? Name one. Tell two good ways to sweep a room. Why are they good ways? Why does a school room need better ventilation than a common dwelling room? Why should flies and mosquitoes be kept out ot the room?"

The 29th U. S. infantry is on its way to the Panama Canal Zone for three years. The regi-

. BY. FRANK G. -MENKE, Sporting Editor of The International News Service. Philadelphia' fans are wondering of some horrible catastrophe won't come as a result of Connie Mack's advocacy of the tango as one of the training stunts for his athletes. Connie wants his boys to dance, provided, of course, ' that they qftit dancing in time to beat the milkmau to the back porch. Connie is of the opinion that the new dances develop gracefulness and speed, and that if his players do the tango it will increase their speed on the bases and in the field. The Quaker City fans, however, fear that if the players get the tango fever they will be inclined to bunny hug and hesitate every time a strain of music is wafted to their ears. That condition would give the opposing team a chance to inject a brass into

the stands and order it to play a lively fox trot during every critical moment during the game. Players Would Tango. "And then, do you know what would happen?"askedone Philadelphia alarmist. "Why, this would happen: The
