Are you keeping abreast 
with the times? Not unless 
you are using the Dodd- 
ridge grave linings. More 
than 10,000 of them were 
sold the first year of their 
existance, Feb. 15, 1909-’10. 
A Straw That Shows How 
The Wind Blows: 
Our first order from Crown 
Hill Cemetery, Indianap- 
olis, Ind., dated Feb. 27, ’09 
was for two linings amount- 
ing to $6.00. Our second, 
dated Mar. 3, ’09, 6 linings 
amounting to $25.00. Our 
third, Apr. 12, ’09, 12 linings 
amounting to $34.55. Our 
fourth, Nov. 18, '09, 12 iin 
ings amounting to $54.00 
and our fifth, Feb. 14, ’10, 
30 linings amounting to 
$116.60. 
We cite this growth at 
Crown Hill with much 
pleasure since we know 
that no cemetery in the 
United States has a better 
reputation for conserv- 
ative management and at 
the same time being up-to- 
date in every particular.

ma. ximum park levy of one-fourth mill. 
Like a good deal of state legislation 
enacted upon lack of proper investiga- 
tion, this law does great injury under 
certain conditions. 
The Seventh Annual Report of the 
Board of Park Commissioners of the 
City of Lowell, Mass., shows the work 
for the year 1909 of an active board. 
Lowell has a park area of 86.27 acres, 
three of the parks ranging between 
ll. .39 and .34.40 acres and some 27 small 
parks and squares running from a frac- 
tion to 3.5 acres. The valuation of the 
system is placed at $611,857. The board 
calls attention most vigorously to the 
lack of intelligent foresight in the admin- 
istration of city affairs, especially citing 
the case of the securing of park lands, 
which is allowed to lapse until i..uny 
times the cost for which they might 
have been obtained in earlier times has 
to be paid later. Further attention is 
called to the lack of continuity in office 
and the evil effects of our system on 
the welfare of the public. It is refresh- 
ing to read such comment in official 
prints and , the promise it suggests of 
better conditions to come. The com- 
mission has now four playgrounds un- 
der its care which were put under su- 
pervision of a competent official for the 
first time during the year, and, as in 
all other cases coming under onr notice, 
the effects and results were quite as- 
tonishing. New playgrounds were at 
once seen to be needed. Fighting the 
brown-tail moth, gypsy moth and other 
destructive insects is now a permanent 
job; more than four tons of brown- 
tail moth nests were destroyed during 
the j^ear and 30,000 nests of gypsy 
moths at a cost of $6,200. The record 
concerning the case of the city trees 
was better than ever. Billboards also 
received some caustic handling in the 
report. Expenditures amounted to a lit- 
tle over $15,000. The pamphlet is illus- 
trated with many half tones. 
SOUTHERN CEMETERIES 
(Continued f rom page 260) 
by Mr. Oliver. From here we hied 
to Glenwood Cemetery to pay our re- 
spects to that nestor of the Atlantic 
slope. Superintendent Alexander Mc- 
Kericher. What a grand old man he 
is ! A 33d degree Mason and one of 
the most respected and beloved men 
in any walk of life at the National 
capital. His whole place was in fine 
form, and by purchase they have re- 
cently added some more ground to 
their holdings. You may remember 
when the convention was in Washing- 
ton some years ago we had our pic- 
tures taken in this cemetery, and you 
will recall the superb arboreal growth
