BUILDING UP A CITY'S PARKS
Expert Set* Forth Some Sound Prln-
cipies Which It Will Bs Profit-
able to Observe.
There are a few principles In the
■election of lands for parka, parkways
and playgrounds which are finding in-
creasing acceptance by city authori-
ties. Briefly stated, they are as fol-
low# ■ (li To acquire those easily ac-
cessible small tracts in different parts
of a city which may most cheaply be
adapted to serve as local playgrounds
or recreation centers; (I) to seek also
some moderately large tracts, even
though less accessible for the present
generation, provided they are capable
of conversion at relatively small cost
Into park which will have the beauty
of natural scenery; (3i to acquire
property for large parks in advance
of a general settlement of the neigh-
borhood; (4) to select generally,
though not always, lands which are
not well adapted for streets and build-
ings; (6) to distribute the lands over
the city In such a way as to give the
maximum of use to the people who
will be called upon to pay for their
acquisition, development and main-
tenance.
"These Are common-sense principles
have been approved and followed by
the leading landscape architects,"
•ays John Nolan In his report on New
London.
CITIES NEED MORE SUNLIGHT
French Architect Urges Far-Reaching
Reform In Street Planning
for the Future.
Far-reaching reform in city plan
nlng as a primary factor In the battle
agalnHt tuberculous was demanded
by the architect, Augustin Hey. in an
address made before the French So-
ciety of Civil Engineers.
According to M. Hey, cities of the
future must be so constructed that
the direction of all the streets shall
correspond to the sun's dally course*
In the heavens In order that the in-
habitants may receive the maximum
of light, which Is the greatest mi-
crobe killer In existence.
The task of architects, he says, will
be to plan towns In such a way that
every nook and corner shall receive
Us share of the tun's rays for the
greatest possible number of hours
dally. On this account he Insists
that the present system of small
apartments will have to go, and their
places be taken by smaller and more
airy dwellings.
He concludes by saying that the
present nickname of Paris, "the City
of Light," should be that of all towns
which care for the health of their
Inhabitants.
Problems of City Building.
"One of the i roblems in modern
city building is to allow proper space
on the sidewalks foiOshade tr**es," said
Henry K. Deacon of Detroit, Mich., at
the Hotel Stafford. "livery country itr
the world la advocating the planting
of shade trees In cities. Many of the
modem cities that are being built
special attention la being given to the
■hade tree problem. The United States
government has taken up the matter
and la making a close study of con-
ditions that exist In other countries.
Some cities pave close up, and by
thus cutting off the natural surface
water supply contribute to the„early
death of the tree. Others have*au uu-
paved circular space uround the tree
which la often dangerous for pedestri-
ans, and Is unsightly There Ja a city
In Belgium that solves the problem by
leaving a space or two feet all around
the tree and paving up smoothly to a
flush Iron ring, having a recess inside
to receive a sectional removuble iron
grating flush with the sidewalk. This
makes^a neat walk and saves the
tree."
Burn the Weeds.
If all the weeds upon that vacant
lot next to your garden have not been
destroyed you should see to it that
they are burned forthwith Burned at
this time, the greater portion of the
seeds will have been burned and you
will not then be so badly troubled with
weeds next year. Mature weeds
sholM be burned where they grow if
possible and not be stacked up In
.heaps for any move of dr> weeds
whs*** out the eeede and leaves them
on the soil, to be started Into life and
more weeds with the first rain of the
•eason. Burn the crop as It stands,
If posstbls.
Juvenile Mythology.
"And what did you learn at school
today?"
"Oh, what about the myths and god-
desses and things."
"And what about them?"
"I tor get them- -all but Ceres."
"And who was she?"
"Oh. she was the goddess of dress-
,making."
"Why, how In the world—"
"Well, teacher said she was the god-
dess of ripping and sewing —Worn-
an's Home Companion.
Cleanliness of Berlin.
' Tha Amertcuu doctors who have
bean traveling through Europe agree
.that the thing which strikes visitors
to Berlin most forcibly la the scru
pulsus eleaullness of the city.
Big Things Ahead!
Grcpt and inspiring as the work of these la3t years have
been they are only a prophecy of what lies just ahead of us.
Everything indicates that the Socialist Party is in the begin-
ning of another period of rapid and inspiring growth.
We had 41,479 members in 1909, the year following the
preceding presidential campaign. We now have
100,521 members
With our forces doubled it id not unreasonable to expect a
proportionate increase of activit all along the line. We are
expected to keep the camp fires alive in

FOR QUINCE PRESERVE
♦
JESS MEGNIN
THIS FRUIT REQUIRES ESPECIAL
PREPARATION.
Natursl Ouallty Requires That They
8hould Be Boiled and Steamed
Before They Are Put Into
the Sirup.
Just as soon as quinces turn yellow
they are ready for preserving. It
might be said at the start that quiuces
require boiling or steaming before be-
ing put into the sirup, diffeing from
th? usual order of preserving
This Is because they ara a very
hard fruit, and the hot sugar only
tends to make them harder. To pro-
ceed: Pare, core, and quarter the
fruit, droppiug into cold water to
preserve the color. Put skins and
cores into a separate vessel.
When all are prepared put two lay-
era or so luto the kettle and cover
with cold water. Cook over a slow
tire unUl tender. Take out carefully,
and when all are cooked, strain the
water and allow three-quarters of a
pound of sugar to one pint of juice.
Cook Tor ten minutes, skimming
until the sirup is clear, then put in as
much fruit as it will cover. Simmer
very gently for half an hour, or If
the quiuces turn red before this they
are ready to be removed to the Jars.
Let the sirup cook a little longer, then
pour over the fruit and seal the jars.
Quinces Preserved With Apples.—
Sweet apples should be used. .The
two fruits make a delicious preserve,
and will cost less than the qulncos
alone. The proportions afe one-third
of quartered uppless to two-thirds of
quince. The appiess will take less
lime to cook thau the quinces, both in
the water and in the sirup. In filling
the Jars, put alternate layers of the
friftt and pour boiling sirup over, seal-
iug ai once.
Quinces With Cider and Molasses.—
'l'hls is a favorite southern recipe. The
fruit is to be pared, cored and halved,
then boiled in sweet cldor until tender.
Take out and add to the liquid one
quart of molasses and one pound of
sugar to five- pounds of quinces.
Heat up the white of an egg and put
Into I he sirup to clear it, bringing to
a boil and skimming until quite
clear. Take off the Are, and when
half cold put in the fruit and boil
for fifteen minutes. More cider may
be added if necessary. A little green
ginger /Soiled in the sirup is an Im-
provement.
Quiuce Marmalade.—Cores, peel and
Imperfect fruit can be .nade Into a
marmalade or a cheese. After thor-
oughly cooking the fruit, strain
through a sieve and allow three-quar-
ters of a pound of sugar to one pound
of fruit Hoil, stirring constantly un-
til smooth and firm, then pack into
jars. A little orange peel chopped fine
will add to the flavor.
Quince Cheese.—This is made by
cooking the marmalade until It is very
thick. If packed Into small jars It
can bo tui .ed out and may be cut like
cheese.
Quince Water Ice.—To make this un-
usual confection, pare and cut Into
thin slices three large quinces. Cover
with four cupfuls of water and one
of sugar Bring all to a boil, keeping
a' that temperature for fifteen min-
utes. Strain and l>ut Into the free/.er.

PRESERVE THE BEAUTY SPOTS
Growth of Town 8hould Not Be Al-
lowed to Eliminate All the
Work of Nature.
In the town squares and boule-
vards men and women find fresh air
and shade for their hours of sociabil-
ity. and playgrounds for the children,
and fresh nurseries for the babies.
But there Is an Important element In
human nature which the town square
cannot satisfy This Is that con-
scious or unconscious sensibility to
tbe beauty of the: natural world which
In many men becomes a passion, and
In almost all men plays a part.
A8 our towns grow, the spots of re-
markable natural beauty, which were
once as the gems embroidered upon
the fair robe of nature, are one by
one destroyed to make room for rail-
roads. streets, factories and the rest.
The time is coming when It will be
hard to find within a day's Journey
of our largf cities a single spot cap-
able of stirring the soul of man to
speak In poetry. Think of what this
will mean for the race, and start to-
morrow to secure for you children
and your children's children some of
mose wem's oi pcoini natural oeau-
ty which are still to be fouud.
Billboards and Bad Eyes.
T Burr Weaver, former president
of the Illinois State Society of Op-
tometrists. addressing his colleagues
on the sublect of eye strain. Indicts
the billboards with point and vigor.
"Street car sickness Is entirely due
to eye strain. The rapid shifting of
vision and th^efforts of persons rid-
ing on the cars to read signs and bill-
boards, which meet their eyes almost
every time they look out of the win-
dows. strain the eyes. The rapid con-
traction of the muscles results In eye
strain nnd headaches."
The victim of this urban habit Is
helpless, moreover, because It Is nat-
ural for the eye to read any printed
matter that comes within range. All
persons who have astigmatism have
a special grievance agalnBt the bill-
boards. and most of them have learn-
ed It lon ; since from experience. The
billboard has been attacked on many
grounds heretofore, but the damage
It does to the eyes 1h not the least
serious or all, though the least em-
nhaslzed
Roasted Tripe.
Take about a pound and a hair of
tripe, wash and boil it In-milk and
water tor an hour. Cut into two ob-
long pieces or equal size. Spread on
the rat side or one piece some good
veal iorce meat and lay upon it ihe
other piece, the fiat inside inwards.
Roll and skewer the tripe securely, tie
it round with a thin string Place in
the roasting pan. dredge with flour
and baste liberally. When done
enough, serve on a hot dish and gar-
nish with sliced lemon. Send melted
butter to table In a tureen. Time to
roast, hair an hour or more. Sufficient
for three or four persons.
