SCHOOL GARDEN PLANS.
The committee which recommended the flowel
garden system was composed of Mrs. Heyer,
A. S. Cleveland, Miss Llda Ball, Mrs. George
Porter, Mrs. George Arnold and Mrs. S. E.
Byors. The plan calls for the establishment at
each school of a flower garden and the general
beautifying of the school grounds. Those schools
not having grounds to adorn are to secure nearby
vaeant lot*", which the children are to ealtivate.
Tlie Committee agreed to make the High
school rrounds a niouel in every respect, should
the plan be adopted. At the spring fair pre-
miums will be offered for which the schools are
to compete. A gardener will be employed to
supervise the work of the children.
"To teach our children of the flora of Texas,
to Instill civic pride In our boys :iuil girls, and
to beaut Ifv the schools of our city—this would
be the trlfold object of this work." said Mrs.
Heyer. submitting the report. "Some of the
florists of the city are already interested, and
rnanv of the children. I feel that the plan
would meet with nothing but success."

nating committee, submitted the following nomi-
nations for officers for the ensuing year: Mrs.

best report. With only a membership of twen-
ty-five, In one year the club established a sick
room, telephone, free kindergarten system, and
an outdoor gymnasium, costing secured

to their doors, and raised $10011 for a domestic
science and manual training department.
During the summer a branch of the Carnegie
library Is maintained at the school. The re-
ports of other clubs showed lunch stands es-
tablished, money raised and other Important re-
sult*.
SANITARY CONDITIONS ATTACKED.
Dr. Kline in an address urged careful atten-
tion to the physical needs of the child In the
first two years of infancy. "If the ehild needs
a ohysiclan. it shows that a mistake has been
made somewhere." he declared.
Rev. IT. M. Whaling described the work of
the Wesley house, telling what the home had
accomplished in the nearby homes, on the play-
J. P. Krantz told of the work of the newly
formed Social Service league, which is to em-
brace all social working organizations in Hous-
ton.
At the conclusion of his address the associa-
tion voted to affiliate with the league,
"Abominable." "perfectly terrible," and "un-
fit for servants" were some of the terms ap-
plied to the public school toilets by Mrs. Ew-
ing.
"Some of the toilets are In such an abom-
nlable condition that no child should be al-
lowed to come near them," she declared.
"I hiTlted the mayor and the commissioners
to be with u* this afternoon, that they might
hear what we have to say regarding this part
of the schools.
"The work of placing the most modern equips
ment in the schools should be taken up by the
city—not by the association. The city is soon
to become bonded for a debt of over $100,000 for
deep water—why can't they give us as much
as $00,000 or $75,000 for proper sanitation in
our public schools. Our children receive all that
Is dearest and best In the home—why should
* ley not i '
aer spent _
Mr*. Ewing also recommended the employ-
— —IT
they not get this in the public nchool, where
— id * "
they spend so much of their life.
Mr*. Ewing also recommended the em p..,.
ment of a medical Inspector, whose work it
should be to examine the .Children of the public
schools regularly; also the employment of nurses
or the placing of emergency medical cases in
the various school*.
DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN.
"1 heartily approve your "flower garden' plan,"
said Dr. Kline. "But let me suggest that you
teach the children to raise not only flowers, but
corn, cabbage and carrots—any vegetables. Let
them find where the vegetables come from.
Teach them that beyond the mart of the corner
grocerv, the stuffy stalls of our city market,
and the hucksters' wngons there are outlying
districts of beauty whence the vegetables come.
"But a greater need than this—the establish-
ment of gurdens—is the care or tnose children
yet to be matriculated In our schools. It is a
fact that the most Important period in the de-
velopment of the child Is In Its first two and
one-half years of Infancy. It is in those years
that life is imbedded In its being. In "those
years it acquires a condition which means either
health and development or early degeneracy and
decay. If it is given the proper nutritive con-
siderations, the proper environments and the
proper body, there will be no need of 'schools
for delinquents' and wayward children. The
vicious child would be a thing of the past.
"it was Spencer who salt!, 'To be a good
human we must first be a good animal.' Give
the child a proper normal constitution and he
never will be a degenerate.
"The way to give this attention and care
properly Is to study the question yourselves.
The physicians are only called in when the
child is sick—when the treatment hiis failed.
The treatment should be such that the doctor
should not be called—whenever it Is necessary to
call a doctor It Is a sign that there has been
a mistake in the treatment somewhere."
To Vote ^n Capital Increase.
The Southern Trust company, at a
meeting of its stockholders at 3 o'clock
this afternoon, will vote on the question
of increasing the capital stock of the
concern.
At present the capital stock is $:>00,000,
with $50,001) paid in surplus and It is
planned to raise the capital stock to
$800,000, with $200,000 paid in surplus, mak-
ing a total of $1,000,000, according to R. E.
Brooks, president of the company.
This concern was organized last Au-
gust. but did not begin operations until
January 1, when offices were provided in
the Texas company building. The com-
pany has enjoyed phenomenal business
and now has between 600 and 700 stock-
holders.
Judge Brooks explained that all of the
officers of the concern were officials of
the Texas company. The stock of the
company, he said, is largely held in small
amounts.
Officers of the concern are; President,
Judge K. E. Brooks; vice president, T.
J. Dohoghue; secretary and treasurer,
Ernest Carroll; assistant secretary and
treasurer, J. M. Powers, Jr.

AGAINST CHANGE
SENTIMENT OPPOSES SHAKETJF
IN WEATHER REPORT SYSTEM.
Number of Texas Stations Dropped
and District Forecasts May Be
Imperfect as Result.
Contrary to a statement that a proposed
rearrangement in tiie weather service
to Houston would prove of benefit to
this section, It is believed by shippers
and those familiar with the workings of
the meteorological service that the drop-
ping from the list of a number of weath-
er stations in sections west of Houston
will prove detrimental to the compilation
of accurate weather data; forecasting of j
storms and to shipping in general. Cot- [
ton region renorts also will suffer and I
the valley d:**.ricts of the Rio Grande
will lack two important warning and
data stations, Del Rio and El Paso. The
northwest part of t"Ke State is left blank
by the subtraction of Amarillo, preclud- i
ing any news from that section regarding
the approach of "northers" In the winter
season.
The advices from Washington ordered
twenty-three former reporting stations
dropped from the Houston circuit, while j
twenty-eight new ones, many situated
Jn Atlantic coast States, have been add-
ed. From the fact that a number of
Texas stations have been dropped has
given rise to a rumor that the movement
was brought about by Dr. Cline at New
Orleans, head forecaster for the Texas,
Oklahoma and New Mexico sections, and
that the dropping of a number of Texas
stations. The omitting of reports from
the Texas stations ordered dropped may
hinder in making complete reports from
the Houston office, it is said.
Under the system in force several
years. Dr. Cline Issues State forecasts
for Te*as, Oklahoma and New Mexico.
Dr. Bunnemeyer, section director of the
eighth Climatological district, whose
bailiwick extends into New Mexico and
Colorado, makes what are known as
practice State forecasts that are compar-
ed with those made by Dr. Cline. At the
same time he makes the official local
forecast.
As the accuracy of the forecast de-
pends to a great extent upon the number
of reports received from the forecast ter-
ritory, the removal of one or two sta-
tions in important territory might ham-
per the work. With the system of re-
ports which will be inaugurated today a
number of Texas stations will be dropped
from the Houston reports, while at the
New Orleans office every station report
In Texas is received.
As all storms, including northers, move
from the west to the east, the absence
of western stations will hamper accurate
knowledge of their movements. The Rio
Grande stations dropped will stop all re-
ports from the valley sections. The
Texas stations to be omitted in the re-
ports are; Amarillo, Brownsville, El
Taso. Del Rio and Fort Worth. No Texas
station* have been added, although the
list has been swelled by a number of j
stations in Canada and in the Eastern
States. ,
Dr. Bunnemeyer would not discuss the
matter yesterday other than to say that
the new arrangement probably had been
brought about by t'ne overcrowding of
the circuits and in an effort to equalize
j some of the reporting circuits the ar-
rangement had been perfected.
Klrlicks ordered the jury In the case to
return a verdict of not guilty.
Among the numerous bad traits of the
mule, it was shown that he had a habit
of stopping every time the load got heav-
ier than he felt li\ce handling. During
these intermissions in his slow journey-
ings, he invariably turned around and
surveyed Green in an insolent manner.
And, to make matters worse, his Inso-
lence reached active assault if Green at-
tempted to get within range of his heels.
The court and jury decided that these
traits were inexcusable in the mule and
Green was released.
Complaints were received last night
from several pleasure seekers at Sam
Houston park that mischievous boys were
becoming pests in several ways on the
park grounds. The parties who com-
plained stated they had taken a lunch
to the grounds to make the affair an
all-evening outing, but that several law-
lessly inclined lads had stolen the lunches,
scattering about the part they did not
eat. They stated these boys had also
made it unpleasant for numerous couples
around whom they would stand and make
"smart" remarks. One of the boys was
caught after a chase, and released on
promise to behave himself in future.

DECISION STILL PUZZLES
Heights Shippers Dubious Regard-
ing Outcome of Recent Com-
mission Order.
Police Happenings
A raid ^on a supposed poker game in
a room in a building on Prairie avenue
at 3 o'clock Thursday morning caused a
wild scurry among the inmates.
When the police appeared, headed by
Night Chief Ray, they encountered locked
doors, which delayed them so long those
in the game effected their escape. A
porter caught was arrested and fined for
vagrancy.
To escape several of the gamblers
leaped to roofs of adjoining buildings,
making a drop of many feet into an al-
leyway. Five were caught, minus hats
or coats. The police were forced to re-
lease them, however, as none of the offi-
cers had seen the game in progress,
which the law requires for a conviction.

Character witnesses proved the undo-
ing of a mule and caused the release of
Sam Green from a charge of cruelty to
animals In the corporation court yester-
day morning when Green was asked to
explain why he had beaten a mule with a
stick.
The character evidence introduced was
all against the animal and it '.vas shown
that Green was justified in beating the
mule. Witnesses also declared that he
had not really beat the animal enough to
make him liable for cruelty and Judgo
Although the Heights shippers believe
they will lose by the recent action of the
Sunset-Central lines in having Houston
Heights made a station and a definite
plan of action has been outlined, matters
will be left as they stand until the sys-
tem has proved detrimental to the in-
terests in the suburb. The shippers al-
ready have held preliminary conferences
and intend to get together after the sys-
tem has been tried and see just what
the fault is. If a fault exists they will
compare ideas, so that all will be alike,
and then separately write to the Texas
railroad commission. In this way each
shipper will ask for the same thing, but
in different language, while coming sepa-
rately instead of collectively from the
industries it probably will carry more
weight with the commission.
It has been explained to the shippers
that the evidence submitted to the com-
mission at the public hearing carries
much less weight when the evidence is
being looked over than written communi-
cations. In this way they are advised
to appl^ in writing.
Such a hubbub exists over the Heights
case that it is difficult to determine just
where the industries are at when It
comes to a matter of rates. The out-
side roads are strongly against the fciove
of the Sunset-Central lines, averring that
the shippers can not exist under the
present system, while the inside roads—
the Sunset-Central lines—state that noth-
ing better could be done for the suburb.
Traffic Mien and shippers' "guides"
throw up their hands and crib in the
corner when the subject is brought up.
"Wait until we see how it works out,"
they state. "There are so many thingd;
so many matters contingent upon privi-
leges, rates and the like, that It is hard
to tell in what way it will affect them."
The Heights shippers are accepting the
order of the railroad commission in si-
lence. If they lose by the new system
they will abide by the increase in rates
or whatever other condition besets their
pocketbooks, but at the hearing August
9 there will be something doing.

SEWER WORK IS PROGRESSING.
Austin Street Tube More Than Half
Completed.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
big sewer being constructed by the city
out Austin street, workmen having
reached Pease avenue, which Is more
than half way of the big subway.
The sewer at the mouth is thirteen feet
in diameter. It gradually reduces In
size as it runs out through the city
until a diameter of seven feet is reached.
The shaft necessary to continue the
underground work past Pease avenue has
been sunk and workmen will soon be en-
gaged in tunneling between that thor-
oughfare and Jefferson avenue. When
Calhoun avenue is reached, which Is two
blocks south of Pease avenue, it will
be necessary to arrange for the big
sewer to be placed by the city ou Cal-
houn avenue.
The size of the Austin street sewer
at Calhoun avenue will be nine feet
in diameter, while between McGowen av-
enue and Elgin avenue, where it will
terminate, it will be seven feet in diam-
eter. At each street intersection four
catch basins are being placed to care
for the surface^, drainage from all direc-
tions.
That portion of the big sewer between
Dallas avenue and the channel, which
has been completed, carries off a vol-
ume of water from tljat section of the
city after heavy rains.
