A National Forest Park.

Washington, of course, is deeply in
terested in the project which is now
being exploited before the people of
Maryland to secure the establishment
IN that state of national forest park
OF about 100000 acres, lying chiefly in
the counties of Montgomery, Prince
Georges and Anne Arundel. At a meet
ing In Baltimore the other night Of the
Municipal Art Society this matter was
discussed and resolution was adopted
warmly approving the project copies
Of which are to be sent to all men,
bers of the Maryland delegation in
Congress. 1t is natural to expect that
that delegation will be solidly favorable
TO the proposition. Viewed from a ma
tional standpoint there should be no
hesitation about approving this plan to
create a forest reserve at the federal
capital. where it can serve as a means
of forest culture study and also be of
material advantage to the people as
an extensive public park. 1t will
probably surprise even many Wash
ingtonians to learn the wide extent of
forest land in the immediate vicinity
OF Washington. The area has been
thoroughly surveyed and has been
found to include an unusual range of
forest varieties. besides comprising an
exceptionally attractive combination OF
natural scenic effects It's preserva-
tion is demanded as a national stimulus
TO the spirit of conservation.

To balls or banquets or receptions. He
explains: II feel that my time belongs
To the state. and that my energy is need

This resolution should be promptly re-

and public policy. 1t must have been
taken in passing fit of indigestion.

IrIshman. whether in office or out, should
not play the recluse. And very few do.

To the beginning of the second. That
would be unprecedented, but this is a
period when many presidents are going
by the board. One more, even of the ma

count. The campaigns for the next

ARE THE LIGHTS OF OTHER DAYS?

Where are the lights of other days
The coal oil lamp, the tallow candle?
Inadequate, their feeble rays
In these our times would cause a scandal.
Electric lamps have proved a boon,
They show up well our wealth and glory;
But-still beneath the same old moon,
Young lovers tell the same old story.
The faring torch with SCOT and CRIME,
The agate bowl. the waxen taper
The lanthorn of an earlier time
That lighted the ancestral caper-
We have improved upon them now.
But still. the wan, enraptured lover
Lifts up his soul and breathes his vow
To yon bright stars that CLEAN above her.
Now vanished is the rushlight's glow.
The fambeaux that illumined the Caesars
Have been suppianted long ago
BY Edison and other geezers.
The night by searchlights now is rent
That dazzle TO the point of dizziness,
But none of them Is worth a cent
10 THIS important hover business!

obtained from the following extracts from
the directions given to each Coop when
he starts out as an apprentice:
Remember that the object of work is
production. Your foreman measures you
by the quantity and quality of your work
Social position does not enter. In the
shop you are not high school boy; you
are an apprentice. Wear clothes accord
ingly. If yeu get the mistaken idea that
any work given you is beneath the dignity
of high school boy. just remember you
are an apprentice, and get 100 per cent
busy.
1T is your business to get along smooth
ly with the workmep and foreman; not
theirs to get along with you.
DO not expect any personal attention
from the superintendent. He will proba-
bly, ignore you entirely, but he knows
whether or not you are making good, and
in most cases his idea of you depends
upon your ability to please your foreman.
Don't be a kicker. and don't continually
bother your foreman for higher wages.
Never try to conceal defective work.
Take your full measure Of blame. and do
not make the same mistake twice.
Watch in a quiet way, what things are
being done around you, and don't be

If they tell you something you already

thing which Is entirely new to you.
'The fool act of one coop hurts every

Representatives of the United States
