F pla-.ring of trees on THE HIGHWAY i Systematic Plans Should Be Made by Organizations for Proper Planting of Treos A good deal has been printed late-j ly about planting trees along the' highways. The tree planting is to, be encouraged if it is to be carried j out, by some organization which j looks to the proper planting and to! the care and maintenance of the \ trees after they are planted. The spasmodic attempts to plant a few; saplings on certain days and then to i give no more thought to the undertakj ing are not encouraging to those"!' highway engineers who believe in{ tree planting .and tree preservation \ * ,1 ,-i. I+ ^ wnere ine coniuuoiis ptriuui.. j true thatv highways merely adequate | for the passage of vehicles are too j badly needed to warrant at once thej spending of large sums to beautify j them. The planting of trees along: the highways will of necessity be a j gradual development, but the result; will be worth the money, if the beau- j tiful is ever worth .money. We must! usually build the roads first and de-j vek>p the beautiful later. But objection cannot be well urged; against saving the trees and shrub-; bery that are already there. Every j ^ j tree that adds any beauty to thej landscape adjacent to a road shouldi be saved if possible, and, when there j are groups of trees giving effective J, relief, a projected location might j, well be changed in order to save;, them. , | j ' ? * -5.J it is recommended uia o sts a i cut | , J the trees be spaced along the road- 1 side not nearer than 60 feet apart, j Success in planting trees can be < attained only by planting and con- , trolling the planting as a whole, by * selecting the most suitable varieties, ^ by securing trees in the best cnodi-' j tion and by planting them properly,: j and by giving the necessary later x care. !j Street trefes are often planted too.' near together. Affer trees are start-: j ed and have attained some size ] it is extremely difficult to get them: s removed even where the good of the < r i remaining trees demand it. Because j of this difficulty it is very important! that young trees be planted farther j? apart than at that time seems reason-1. able. A common practice has been! ( to.set street trees 35 feet apart.; If I ] it were practicable to remove one- j half of the trees at %the proper time,: < ^ this would be a good distance, but in, .c the eastern half of the United States { 50 feet apart is close enough for i most varieties. In the opinion of tj^e: t horticulturist of the U. S. bureau of iv plant industry, for the larger grow- j ing trees 60 to 70 feet would be^be^ c ter than 50 feet. r Nations once fought to protect the! s national honor, but the record of the! < > last few years reveals that as a migh- j I I ty small thing to fight about. j s & Speaking of centenarians, some! r writer says wit" is essential-tor longe-: r vity.

The strike among the workers of the Mobile & Ohio railway, which is controlled by the Southern, also was settled on the same basis. The worker?" 6*f the two roads and those employed on all other lines controlled by the Southern. who went on strike. are to return immediately to work with seniority rights unimpaired. Orders were telegraphed by? the shop leaders tonight to the divisional chairmen of the various labor unions throughout the South to instruct their men to return to work at once. Similar orders were sent out by the Southern's officials to their superintendents to put all of the former workmen back at. their old jobs as soon as they applied. The conference had been in session three hours when William H. Johnston, president of the International Association of Machinists, as spokesman of the union chiefs, announced that a settlement had been reached. Henry W. Miller, vice president of the Southern lines, in charge of op eratur-, exmoitea a copy 01 uic agreement bearing signatures of the unio-n leaders and representatives of the Southern, remarking that he ex-1 pected most of the striking workers to be back at work within a week. The refusal of the shop leaders to sign last Saturday led to doubt in iome quarters as to the outcome of ;odav's meeting. It was understood :hat the decision in favor of settlenent was influenced largely by Presdent Johnston, who was said to have irged an amicable agreement in the nterest of "industrial peace." E. E. Norris of St. Louis, vice presdent and general manager of the Mobile & Ohio railroad, acted as spokesman for that system in the negotiations. i News of the settlement of the strike reached Columbia yesterday ifternoon.
