HOW ABOUT
YOUH TO!?
What Are You Doing to Im
prove It?
tW'T BE BEHIND THE TIMES
Splendid Example of Community Bet
terment Set by Civic Club Formed
by Women In a Pennsylvania Town.
Ac'a'vo Work In Several Lines.
i
What are you doing for your town?
What is the personal service con tri b-'
ntefil by yon to your home community?
Are you co-operating? Are you Inter
ested in your streets, in seeing that
they are swept, sprinkled and kept free
Irena refuse? Do you visit the school?
Are yon encouraging the growing of
fiawers on thp school playground?
K not, it Is to be feared you are be
hind the times. Throughout the whole
Jasd an aroused civic Interest has been
manifesting itself in the betterment of
communities, no matter how small.
3Ih? "Spotless Town" idea has taken a
?rnr root, and the eucrgetic citizen is
'wcrfcing for the town benutifnl.
Women's clubs have been formed for
tho distinct purpose of improving sev
eral large communities in Penusylva
*ku In smaller towns numerous clubs
,haTc been formed for the purpose of
comaacnity betterment. In towns, too.
?where there are no societies for the
explicit purpose'Of conducting this
?work notable improvements have been
made by the women's clubs. Indeed,
mach polishing up has been done by
the busy hands of the women, and de
partments for civic improvement are
cavrylug on active work.
It was just about ten-years ago that
& number of women of Carlisle, Fa..
mot to consider a matter of importance
?that of town cleanliness.
What did they do? Well, a club
was formed, and before sis months
had passed the membership exceeded
15ft, Of course the matter of town bet
terment is a personal one. Everybody
must do his share. So the Indies of
Carlisle got after housekeepers and
janitors of public buildings and asked
them ail to make the places in their
charge examples of cleanliness, 'says
the Philadelphia North American. Peo
ple who kept street stands and the
renters of market stalls were visited,
and soon things took a different ap
pearance. An ordinance fori lidding
the throwing of litter on the streets
was prepared, introduced in the coun
cil and passed.
Ifivc years rolled away, and Carlisle
had changed its appearance; An anti
spitting ordinance had been prepared
by the ladles and passed by the town
council. Billboards, public dumps and
many objectionable business signs had
been removed. An observant stranger
would have noticed that, whereas
meats and fruits und various foods in
stores and on street stands bad for
merly been exposed to the flies, tbey
now were covered by netting. And
through the streets during the warm
seasons one could see a huge sprinkler,
with the name of the Civic club paint
ed on It.
' Soon the Children's League of Good
Citizenship was formed- The member
ship ran near to the 2,000 mark. One
half hour a month was given in all
the schools to the members of the
cdncatioual committee of the club.
Daring this period they addressed the
children, and their interest In the town
and its welfare was aroused.
To stimulate an interest, in trees and
flowers the club gives premiums each
year for shade and fruit trees that
have been planted one year. The va
cant spots of Carlisle bloom with flow
ers. Along the stone walls of yards
during the summer one can :>ee clam
l>ering nasturtiums and other flowers,
Upon the lawns of the public schools
the club has placed flowers, vines aud
hedges.
For four years a savings department
was conducted, where saviugs from 1
cent upward were received. Substa
tions wore established in four stores,
aad during its existence thousands of
dollars were cared for. The depart
ment was discontinued with the open
ing ol a savings department in the
town bank.
Perhaps one of the most prominent
features of town life is the lack of en
tertainment. Well, there is no such
lack, thanks to the ladies, in Carlisle.
Under the club's auspices during the
summer open air entertainments are
given. During one summer a series of
concerts was rendered by the baud of
the Carlisle Indian school.
And then there is a kindergarten, a
beautiful, cheerful, sunny place, where
parents may send their little ones for
irarty instruction.
The membership of the club now ex
ceeds 300. Mrs. Edward W. Diddle.
Hie president, has been active in in
augurating similar movements in other
communities.

Improvement of Grounds.
Do not limit your work to money
making enterprises. If you live in the
country, get as much pleasure from
your environments as possible. Try
to improve the home ground from
year to year. Plant somewhere on the
premises a few trees every year, which
will add more and more lo Hie happi
ness of your family.

WITHOUT A MOON.
Influence of Our Fair Satellite on the
Ocean Tides.
Once, some OO.u??.CC? years ago, the
: earth, then a muss of molten lava, re
volved upon its axis In about five hours
instead of, as now, in twenty-four,
says the Chicago News. In that dim,
faraway past the moon, itself a great
flaming orb, much larger than at pres
ent, was only a few hundred miles
from the earth, and as the two planets
spuD with fearful velocity the attrac
tive power of our satellite, the moon,
raised a tide wave of molten lava,
hundreds of feet high, which contin
ually raced beneath iL This put a
drag upon the earth's rotation, and
slowly and more slowly the earth turn
ed, the day lengthened and the moon
receded.
Without a moon the oceans of the
world would be practically tideless.
The little moon that often looks no big
ger than a cart wheel has power to
raise the ocean into vast tidal waves.
The sun's power to raise tides is so
slight hi comparison that the solar
tides by themselves are scarcely worthy
of consideration.
Were It not for these moon caused
tides the whole map of the latitudes
forty degrees north and south of the
equator would have been so vastly
different from what it actually is that
the most vivid imagination can scarce
ly picture it. England, for instance,
would in nil probabiMty still be a part
of the European eonlinent, as it was
once before the tides and tide caused
currents cut the stnit of Dover, in
which case It Is almost certain that the
British natiou would not have attaiued
its present greatness.
Astronomers and historians would be
lost without the moon. Without her
there would have been no means for
savage or early nations to record time
by months. The revolution of the
moon around the earth from west to
esst has been the means of noting time
since history began.
Fahrenheit and Centigrade.
The Fahrenheit thermometer is the
one in general use in this country, ex
cept among some of the scientists, who
use the Centigrade. It would be well
for all the boys and girls to know
wherein the difference between them
consists. In the Centigrade the space
between I he freezing point and. the
boiling point is divided into ICO de
grees-, while in the Fahrenheit it is di
vided into ISO degrees. A degree of
the Centigrade, therefore, is higher
than a degree Fahrenheit in the pro
portion of 1) to .">, but as zero in the
Centigrade is at the freezing point and
in the Fahrenheit at 32 degrees above
that this must Im; considered in com
paring them. To express JO degrees
Centigrade In the Fahrenheit scale mul
tiply 10 by I) and divide by 5, which
will give IS, then add the .'12 degrees
not reckoned in Centigrade and you
will have 50, which is the exact equiv
alent of 10 Centigrade.

The Hellend Prin-.ross.
There Is a beautiful flower in Hol
land called lhe evening primrose. It
has escaped from cultivation and now
grows wild in many places. The plant
is about five feet in height atiti is cov
ered with flowers of a brilliant yellow
color. A traveler who came upon a
field of these primroses shortly before
sunset describes what he calls the dra
matic effect made by them. It is at
that hour that the flowers open, and as
lie approached the field they all open
ed at once, and so suddenly that it
seemed as it' a magic wand had touch
ed the laud and covered it with a
golden sheet.
