WORLD ECONOMIC CONFERENCE!
(Troy Times.l

A world conference OF the kind sug;
gesteu by Professor Flsheriand those
cooperating with him will mean an
authoritative conclusion regarding
some 81 the profOundest questions
with which human intelligence has to
deal. The conference, should 1t be
called, will lead not only,to a thorough
investigation Of the causes Of high
cost OF living and the fluctuations
which are now SO frequent and be;
wildering, but will so deal into under.
lying economic principles, including
investigations as to the influence on
prices aud on the money situation Of
recent enormous accessions to the
worlds gold supply 1t is quite pos
sIble that the findings of the confer
ence may be upsetting to many ideas
on these subjects now entertained,
But It Is indisputable that the verdict
of a. body composed Of the most emf
nent statesmen, educators and 'econo.
mlsts Of the. world would command
earnest and respectful attention. II.
The field of research contemplated
by those who are promoting this world
conference Is wide. The work before
the Investigators Sili be- enormous,
The difficulties in the way OF getting
precise and convincing Information
will he great. But the obstacles are
not insurmountable, and the benefits
accruing from knowledge that will les,
sen the hardships due to present com
pllcattons and which win tend to bring
The nations OF the earth more closely
together in efforts to maintain stable
and equitable economic conditions will
fuIly justify the project now In con.

THE "HOUN' DAWG" SONG

Any one who visits Washington, D.
&C. is Immediately impressed with the
personal popularity about the capitol
ol Speaker Champ Clark Of the House
of Representatives and will quickly
learn that besides his genial good
nature the now famous Missouri 'houn
dawg" song has had much to do with
making him popular as has anything
else. In fact pretty nearly everyone
in Washington nowadays wears a lap
eI button lettered: "They gotta quit
kickin' my dawg aroun.'" The song
has gained nationwide popularity, and
everywhere it goes, it is known as
Champ Clark's campaign song. 1t has
the genuine Missouri swing and is as
follows:
Down in the Ozarks they're hummin'
this song:
Whistle it, too, as they pass along.
You can buy all his sheep, or hawg,
But you can't get him to part, with his
dawg.
He'd get you goin' around and round
If you made one single kick at his
hound. 81
Hear the Missourian's musical ring,
Come from the mountains, and bark
to him sing: ~

L0NDONS BIG PARK
Regents, Formerly Royal Prop
erty, is Now 100 Years Old.
Thirty Years Was Required to Build,
Historic Preserye-Queen Eliza
beth Restored Grounds to Pub
lie and Ousted Residences.

London.-The present year is the
centenary of Regents Park, the larg-
est one in London. That is, it is just
L hundred years since the govern
ment took hold of the project of form
Ing a park out Of the pasture land
known as Marylebone Farm and
Fields. With it's annexes the Regents
park of today covers over four hun
dred acres.
The land was formerly the outer
park attached to the royal mansion of
Henry VIII. and was a favorite hunt
ing ground of the Tudors. Here
Queen Elizabeth entertained the Rus
sian ambassadors with a stag hunt.
During the eighteenA century Maryle-
bone park, split up into dairy farms,
was one of the pris cipal sources of
the milk supply of London, and these
fields were intersected by footpaths
which formed favorite promenades for
the pent-up Londoner.
According to a government survey
made in 1874, Marylebone park con
tanned SAB acres. Shortly after this

government for the best plans for
building on the estate as soon as the
leases should fall in. Nash's plan to
form a public park, i~nterspersed with
a few p~alatial villas, and to let the
adjoining ground or building leases
for the erection of high class resi-
dences, was ultimately adopted.
1t was decided to name this orna-
mental Enclosure after the prince re-
gent, who, it was said, intended build
ing a residence in the park, but this
plan, if ever entertained, was aban-
doned. The present park was com
menced early in 1912 and for several
years the site presented "a most ex-
~traHrdinary scene of digging, exca-
waiting and building, and seemed more
like a work of general destruction
than anything else"
The commissioners of woods and
forests resolved to lay out and plant
the whole domain according to the
plan before permitting any building
operations inside. Accordingly, the
first thing they did was to demolish
the farmhouses and taverns and stop
up the footpaths within the inclos-
ure.
When the project Of making the
park vas sanctioned by act of parlia-
ment, the public had no inkling that
they might be deprived of the priv
ilege of using it. In 1914, however,
