isl'r MORE THAN A DREAM?
A'liv‘oly and entertaining writer
has recently made a picture of the
decline and full or home and house-
keeping in the old sense. He (or,
she) thinks people are getting tired
of living in apartments and buying
everything oil’huud, in little daily
.,driblets from the market and the

" to which we shall come in a moment.
But before that we extract it typical
passage, front his account of present
conditions: .
“With the brand making gone out or
the kitchen to the bakery; with
spring-cleaning done by suction; with
.thswashhosrd and lyesonp supersed-
"ed by the steam laundry and oxalic
acid; with the garden piled up on

hood grobery store;' with” the old
spring house and the brown crooks,
tramited into terms of certification
‘ and hermetically sealed bottles; and

Small pottering nnd wasteful shifting
of responsibility.
All that is true of many families.
_ Bui is,lt true as the writer goes on
to say that out of this condition has
“developed a tolershly common, if not
general, desire to get back to the
slower, cheaper. more troublesome
Vways? Especially is it true that
grout numbers of women went public
markets, and would personally use
them it they were provided? He is
not alone in that idea There are
many places in which a demand for
it public market is heard, but where
in a modern city given up to new ways
do you find any great disposition
among people used to apartmentvlife
no go personally to market, carry
things home, or go attended by a
servant to curry a basket, as used to
bathe way in the best bred and most
rtant families, an excellent
shion which still lingers in the
nth. The change to the old way
w would mean taking time and
trouble, breaking up idle or luxurious
bits that have developed to meet
e very conditions which it is now
posed to ignore.
There are no end of things to be
said theoretically in favor of the- pub-

READERS
V IEWS...
The Sentinel will be pleased to re-
ceive letters for publication, from its
readers, under the above heading. A
brief and twine-point communication,
as a general proposition. carries more
weight and conviction than n lengthy
one in which the argument is not
ally suggest brevity. Long-winded or».
tioles, we have observed. are the int.
to be read, and are many times avoid-
ed altogether.
PLANTING OF TREES.
Editor of Evening Sentinel:
A few years ago I endeavored to
interest the water commissioners in
the planting of the water sheds of
Norwulk and South Norwslk with for-
est tree soodiings:-——First. as a means
of conserving the water supply. its
purity and quantity. ascend. as a
commercial pr0p0s1tiou. but without
avail. ,
This matter is worthy of the. care.
tul consideration of the water com-
missioners of the Twin Cities, inas-
much as the water supply of those
cities are very valuable assets and
would be very much more valuable
from s pecuniary and aesthetic point
of view.
The Stnlo Legislature at the last
session, phased u statute exempting
from tnxntion for a term of twenty
. years, all waste or unprofitable lands,
provided, however, that said lands
are planted with forest tree seedlings.
thOse seedlings being planted not less
than twelve hundred trees to the sore.
Those young seedlings can be pur-
chased rrom the Connecticut Experi-
tnent Stution. the cost or which is
$5.50 per 1,000. it is extremely desir»
able that all waste or unprofitable
lands and unused postures be plnnted
with trees, and to. further the project
Samuel N. Spring, the State forester.
buns requested the. undersigned to did
in the matter. Therefore I wish to
state that i am willing to do fill that
i can in the way of advice and other‘
wise to help it along and secure the
planting of those trees. Prospective
planters or parties having any waste
or utiused lands will do, well to con-
sider this mutter. There are thous-
nods of acres of idle lend in and
around Norwsllt. Westport, Wilton
and Weston, waste lands that in
twenty years or less would pay it
handsome return on the investment,
were it planted with forest as pro
posed in the new low. 1 would be
pleased to receive inquiries concern-
ing this matter all of which will be
submitted to State Forester Spring,
who will examine land and furnish
planting plans,
It is ab0ut time that the Town of
NOrWliUt and other surrounding towns
took some action in regard to the
trees that they already have. us the
aims nnd chestnut trees are dying
fast, the aims on account of details-
tion by the elm leaf hectic. and», the
chestnuts through the aotion’ots'thnt
fungus disease that is killing them.
Of course the eims can be saved by
proper pruning and spraying, when
not too for advanced toward decay,
but the chestnut trees are doomed, no
nothing as yet has been discovered
that will halt the terrible scourge that
affects them. .
On every highway and street in the
town and cities of Norwelk and South
Norwmk; numbers of trees can be
seen in s. more or less stage of decay,
while hundreds are totally dead, with
large overhanging limbs that danger-
ous alike to life and limb. it is only
a. question of time when the cities
and the town will be called upon to
pay a large bill for damages if those
trees or limbs are not removed. The
munlncont and princely sum that the
board at estimate annually appro-
priates for the care chill the trees
on oil highways of the town is $200.
