National Highways Not
Complete Without Trees
The mileage of publicly constructed
highways in the United States each
year has reached almost fabulous fig-
ures. and keeps on increasing. Every
progressive state is aiding county and
town authorities to build still more.
No one wants to halt the rapidity of
road-making In this country. It might
be well, though, if we emulated some
of the older countries and began a
systematic bordering of these high-
ways with rows of trees. Thousands
of miles of new roads are built every
year In districts entirely denuded of
tree growth. If road-making and tree-
planting went hand in hand it would
encourage intensive tree culture
throughout the nation.
France began systematic tree plant-
ing along its national roads In the
reign of Francis 1, more than 300
years ago. Today France has a na-
tional register of trees planted on the
spots, bonds, or snoots. But

STARTING RATHER YOUNG
A complaint was filed In Jus-
tice Hardeman's court Saturday
against some very small girls,
by a Mexican woman living
next door, charging the child-
ren with taking some money
and other valuables. The evi-
dence showed, we believe that
the children took some loose
change, but the mother return-
ed it. It was claimed that a
gold ring is missing that was
never returned; but the mother
of the little girls and the girls
themselves stoutly denied tak-
ing the ring. Judge Harde-
man dismissed the case with a
strong warning to the parents
that they must control their
children, and keep them away
from the other home, or these
children may be taken away
from them and sent to juvenile
training places. A large num-
ber of Mexican people were pres
ent and the Judges exhortation
will be well for others, Mexi-
cans and Americans to heed. It
is the little beginnings and the
petty matters that children fall
Into and parents some times
laugh at, that lead to crimes of
greater magnitude.
BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES
Thousands, yes, millions, of
beautiful large yellow butter-
flies have been going toward
the northwest the past few
days. Radiators on cars are
sometimes covered with them
caught on the fly. Where they
are coming from and where
they are going I do not know.
This is not the first year they
have been seen, however,

, houses are almost always solidly con-
i structed, representing honest work-
manship from cellar to garret. To pull
them down and rebuild from the
ground up would mean an enormous
economic waste, a total loss to the
country of the millions of dollars of
investment that they represent. In
many cases the expenditure of a com-
paratively few dollars and a little ex-
pert attention can convert such a resi-
dence into a place of real beauty and
add enormously to its financial value.
Work for Architects
In America we have never stopped
growing long enough to diagnose the
fundamental ailments of modern urban
growth. Until we, individually and
as a community, undertake this exam-
ination, the field for community plan-
ning will be limited, and the architect
will continue to design, in subservi-
ence to the forces outside his work
which are daily determining his milieu.
Once our American communities are
ready to alter, not simply their super-
ficial physical characteristics, but
some of their fundamental habits and
traditions, then community planning
will be possible. It is our belief that
it will he to the supreme advantage
of the architect to hasten this day.

USEFUL DON’TS THAT
MEAN “SAFETY FIRST"
Accident and sometimes
death that follows th ecareless
use of electricity may be minim
ized, if not avoided entirely, by
observance /of certain precau-
tions, says the Texas Public
Service Information Bureau.
Here are some “Don’ts”
which, in their observance, may
increase length of days for
many men and women.
Don’t “tinker” with bare wir-
es, even in your own home. Am
bulance rides are unpleasant.
Don’t leave the cord attached
to the electric iron while you
discuss neighborhood issues
over the back fence. If you
want to see a house burn, go to
the movies.
Dont use the electric vibrator
when you’re in the tub. You
may receive one big unexpected
vibration that will make future
bathing unnecessary.
B Don't hang lamp cords over a
nall. Frayed insulation may
mean a short circuit.
Good road promotors and am
bitious politicians will shy and
scoff at this idea. It would
mean a long, hard fought edu- *
cational campaign, and they
haven’t the time to ’waste in
such dangerous waters. They
are floating along smoothly
now and have no stomach to
tackle a real storm. But the
Texas County Highway engi-

Lach of Art Costly
Beauty in a city is not only a finan-
cial asset but ugliness is a thing of
sheer cost to a municipality, accord-
ing to Andrew Wright Crawford of
the Philadelphia art jury, who spoke
to the delegates at the annual
session of city planners. In support
of his contention, Mr. Crawford point-
ed out that many city halls through-
out the United States. Including the
one at Philadelphia, as well as many
bridges and similar municipal struc-
tures, are under consideration for re
placement because of unsightliness.
