UGLY POINTS MAY BE HIDDEN Permanent Fixtures, Such as Fence and Clothes Posts, Should Be Made Things of Beauty. The most noticeable permanent fea tures of the backyard, which is the usual place for the city garden, are the fence and the clothes posts. They remain prim and uncompromising, while shrubs flourish and flowers bloom and after the leaves have with ?ered and fallen. The garden magazines advise mass ing shrubs on the fences, letting vines climb the clothes posts or stringing wire netting for nasturtiums to climb npon. This is well in summer, but when the leaves have fallen and the naked fence is again exposed, the dragging vines blow in the wind, and ,'netting and all fall in an uncomely lieap together unless the careful gar dener removes them. At any rate the fence and the posts can only be cov lered with foliage and bloom during a ishort period. The solution of the difficulty then ls to make thexfence and posts, the ?ugly and permanent features, things iOf beauty. A fence may be made of such a pattern as not to be offensive !to the eye, and if it is possible to have iit of brick or stone it need not be a support for vines unless one desires lit The posts, too, may be placed in inconspicuous positions. They may be painted green, a soft color, harmoniz ing well with grass, vines and flow ers. These two difficulties iisposed of, none may begin the planning of the ibackyard city Karden with confidence. ERECT NOVEL DANGER SIGNS Motorists Think Checkerboard Warn ings Will Attract the Eye of the Driver Readily. Checkerboard signs have been erect led in Columbus, 0., as danger signals. Certain street intersections and the narrow parkways in the center of wide thorough fares have been the scenes of nu merous motor ac cidents, and these boards, composed of black and white squares ar ranged alternate ly, have been set up as warnings at these places. They bear no In scription except a (statement that they were installed by Ithe Columbus Automobile club. It is believed that the checkered pattern will attract the eye readily and soon will come to be recognized by all as an emblem of danger. The city i has promised to equip them with red lights. The signs measure three by six feet. Co-operation in Planning. If one town succeeds in relocating ' or depressing or elevating a railroad, the adjacent towns have to plan to conform. If a railroad station is lo cated near the border of a town the nearby streets and car lines in the next town are altered to fit. A good :park on the ed;:e of one community ?has a strong influence on the park sit uation of the adjacent community. Bad housing "Just over the line" brings up serious planning problems. Differ ent planning laws and restrictions in towns which border on one another give rise to all sorts of complications ?and unfairness. Of two towus side by side, where one is conscientiously in terested in the appearance of its ?Streets and buildings and the other is not. the latter soon finds itself at a .considerable disadvantage. Everything ,1s to be gained by co-operation in plan ning. Waste is bound to ensue with out it. Parks for All the People. The parks belong to all the people and should be so conducted that all will feel that a genuine welcome and vari ety of entertainment, comfort and pleasure await them in every park. They should be made so attractive to >the general populace that hundreds will flock there to where row the Indi vidual "flocks" in loneliness. Some parks are planned and planted as though they possessed cn attitude, one of extreme austerity, seeking to over Awe the visitor and curb his natural exuberance. These cold and Uninvit ing, inhospitable parks should have in troductions of bright flowers, tennis Icourts, swings, teeter-boards, saud boxes, seats, arbors, picnic grounds, music, etc., and thereby become at tractive to their owners-the public at large.-Exchange. Using Walls and Fences. ~~ More use should be made of walls and fences in small gardens. It is not always necessary that either orna mental or fruiting plants should be In the open or clear of structures. Not .alone ornamental vines, but also fruit ing vines and shrubs may be trained in fan shape or flat against walls cov ered with mesh wire. Used in this way even melon and cucumber vines become ornamental and do splendid service as short-season screens. COAL and ?('EAP IKON.
