The VALUE OF PARKS.

The Des Moines Register and Lead
er took occasion in noting the absorb
ton of the old board of park commits
sioners by the new Des
Moines plan commission to
call attention to the work
that had been accomplished by this
hoard during its service of sixteen
years. When the board was created
there was but one park of three acres
in the city and this was little more
than river front garbage heap. On
retiring the commissioners turned
over eighteen separate parks, comDris-
Ing 676 acres and practically free from
debt Starting sixteen years ago with
out dollar the board has collected
by taxes and other means and ex-
pended for lands and improvements
s750.000. Today the park lands owned
by the city and permanent buildings
erected thereon are easily worth
s650,0O0 and 1t is property that is con-
stantly growing more valuable.
Another service done by the park
board that cannot be measured in dol
lars and cents is pointed out by the
Register and Leader:
In its sixteen years of existence the
board preserved for the people of Des
Moines its most famous natural beau
ty spots: it has secured for them great
areas Of timber and open prairie for
recreation and sport; It has provided
Fairgrounds for boys and girls and
a safe place for bathing in summer
and skating in winter; 1t has laid we'll
foundation for the future and as the
years go by and Des Moines grows
larger, the public will have ever in
creasing reason to thank the retiring
commission for its foresight.
Des Moines has found that every
dollar expended for parks has been
well spent, and as the years roll on
the value of these holdings will rap
idly increase. That some of the other
Iowa cities have not realized the
value of parks is an evidence of
their lack of foresight.

JAPAN WOULD GROW TALL.

If any further proof were needed
that the Japanese are a resourceful
and determined people, the national
movement which has been begun to
increase the Jap's stature would
abundantly furnish such proof The
Japanese has come to feel Inundated
at his lack of stature, and character
istically believes it within his pow
err to remedy the deficiency in inches.
The Japanese have decided that the
national practice Of sitting on the
floor with the legs crossed beneath
the body is the main reason for MAX
ing midgets of the nation That prac-
tice will be abolished and from grand
father to the baby the Japs will SIT in
chairs. Japanese mothers will carry
their babies in their arms instead of
on their backs as formerly, and this
will straighten the limbs of the young
hopefuls. Gymnastic exercises and a
dietary system are other means to be
used In stretching out the Jap.
If the Japs enter into the spirit of
the reform with the enthusiastic earn
estness which has marked their for
mer achievements, the next genera.
ton will doubtless see In Japan a peo-
pie different fro mthe sawed-off race
of today.

of March that if it come. :. .lhe a

oldest inhabitant will tell you that as
a general thing this has been fairly
safe rule to place reliance on. Now

leonine entry and lamblike exit, the
month has its good points.
This reference to March may not
be just exactly relevant to discus
