NATIONAL PARK NEAR
CAPITAL IS ENDORSED
B. H., Haman Discusses Proposed
Forest Project at a Balti-
more Meeting.

The numerous benefits that would ac-
crue to the nation generally and the
state of Maryland in particular in case
the proposed national park between
Baltimore and Washington should be-
come an actuality were discussed by
B. Howard Haman at the meeting OF
the Southern Society of Maryland in
Baltimore last night.
Mr.. Haman indorsed the projected
park from different aspects. dwelling
upon the practical usefulness of such a
forest and park, the magnificent set
ting it would furnish to the National
Capital, and the inestimable benefits
that would come to future generations
therefrom.
Would Form Outdoor Laboratory.
forest would form a SORT of outdoor
laboratory. in which experiments could
be carried ON at first-hand by the sci
entists of the bureau of forestry at
Washington, it would spread through
the land the knowledge of forestry,
which, he stated, was second only i'll
practical Importance to our people at
the present time to the knowledge and
practice of intensive agriculture. He
quoted from an address by former Am
bassador Bryce, who approved and in
dorsed the project, as well as from
reports of the United States bureau of
forestry and from reports of Mr.. Bes-
ley, the Maryland state forester.
Recreation Ground for Millions.
The cost of the forest, Mr.. Haman
said. would not exceed the cost of one
battleship and would furnish recreation
to millions of visitors to the National
Capital in the coming years.
The fact was also mentioned that the
area of the proposed forest and park
in the neighborhood of the District of
Columbia is about one-thirtieth of the
combined areas of the national parks of
the United States and one two-thou-
sandth part Of its national forest ground
Bill in Senator Smiths Hands.
Mr. Hannah also pointed out the fact
that. while most of the national parks are
closed areas during the greater part OF
the year to the citizens of the country,
owing to the climatic conditions sur
rounding them. a national park near the
District of Columbia could be visited by
persons of modest means and undoubt-
edly by more individuals than could visit
all other parks.
Mr.. iIanlan stated that the bill pre-
pared by several lawyers of Baltimore
to further this great project is in the
hands of Senator Smith of Maryland and
that the latter can be relied upon to do
his utmost for its success.

Prior Assessments Opposed.

The association went on record favor
ing bill that would prevent the Com
missioners from assessing property
owners for benefits for any improve
ment until such improvement had
actually been started. This action was
taken after a discussion as to what
was to be done toward constructing
the proposed highway near the Balti-
more and Ohio railway tracks, in con-
nection with the Improvement TO the
river. 1t was said that about five
years ago the property was acquired
and the owners assessed for benefits
and most of them had paid their as
sessments, but as yet nothing had been
done toward actually constructing the
road. This. it was said, was grave
injustice to the taxpayers and should
not be allowed to continue.
An effort will be made to secure
ground for the establishing of a public
playground in that section of the Dis
trict. Several sites were suggested
and the school committee was directed
to try and locate a suitable site by the
next meeting, in order that some def
mite action might be taken.

Strength of Government.

The strength of our government
lies in the social fabric that has been
woven about it. The people are in
constant intercourse, and our national
spirit is kept alive everywhere. State
ties for this reason should be kept in
evidence. Our government is in
destructible because it is composed of
a number of indestructible states. In
keeping the. ties of the home state
and of the folks back home fresh in
our minds we are strengthening the
nation
Just so soon as you stop the dis
cussions of the gatherings around the
courthouses and county seats will you
have Capitalization and it's accompany
ing destructive elements. There must
be a bond of sympathy go to the people
back home to prevent the centraliza-
tion that comes from lack of interest
In the small communities. The only
way this government can be .main-
tanned is to see to 1t that the local
communities. to the fullest extent pos
sible. maintain their interest in the af
fairs of government"

Branch Proves Nuisance.

The members feel that If they could
secure money for the placing Of a
sewer in Stickfoot branch, they would
accomplish the most important i'm
provement in their section. At present
this branch runs directly through the
heart Of the suburb and requires SO
much room that proper development is
almost impossible. The branch is also
the cause of much annoyance during
rainy weather and is said by some to
be continual nuisance.
Secretary Montgomery presented the
proposition of asking the authorities
to allot q portion of the reclaimed area
of the Anacostia flats to be used in con-
nection with the Birney School for
agricultural purposes. Several mem
bers spoke on the necessity of teaching

Warnings against Capitalization OF

night by Chief Justice Covington OF

Many subjects which had been legis-
lated upon by the bodies back home
have now come to this city for con-
sideration. and the eyes of the people
are turned upon this city as the mecca
of American patriotism" he said.
THE men of every village and town
no matter how remote, maintain a keen
interest in the government. This pre-
vents the complete Capitalization which
has been ruinous to other governments

4 SIO.lNl0 INVESTMENT.

DIR. p. p. ClaXton, United States
commissioner of education, has asked
Congress for an appropriation OF
$4,000 with which to eradicate illit-
eracy in this country.
The surprising feature about this
request is the smallness of the amount.
1t scarcely seems possible that $4,000
can do much toward the education of
over five million illiterate men and
women in the United States. Yet, Doc
tor ClaxtOn says that this would be
sufficient to start with and that the
work could be accomplished in six
years.
The benefit of such work would not
end with those five million people, but
would extend TO the entire Nation. 1t
would be real uplift to the social
conditions of this country. The Uni
ted States could not make a better
$4,000 investment.

MEN OR CUSTOMS!

That men who are personally hon
est are often harshly criticised on ac-
count of their connection with affairs
that seem to work against society was
pointed ous by Professor TAYLOR in his
lecture II the Y. NJ c. A. re;enI!y. We
Often Goa rse men and practices. he
explaiaed.
Ther" i. i distinction hera tat all
who are prone to criticise should keep
constantly in mind. The effects OF
business transactions do not always
work out in such a way as to ra!ect
the purposes of the men back of them.
Frequently men who are honest in
their lives, who pay all their DEBTS
willingly, who do not Intentionally
cheat those with whom they deal. car
ry out a business deal in when they
do not see the effects that work back
to society. They have seen a chance
that circumstances offered and in their
eagerness to make money, have taken
it, without realizing the degrading cf-
fects it will reflect in society.
Here it is the system, and not the
men which should be condemned.
Many of the rich are as much the vic
tins of the economic society as are
those in poverty

sums of money in making industry
safe for laboring men is the method OF
saving money. The science of this
paradox is simple. The price of deaths
and injuries is at least as great as
that of safety devices. In addition
the companies had the expense oil
breaking in more new men than is now
necessary.
That this idea works is shown by
the record of the United States Steel
Company. During the last few years
the number of injuries has been reduc-
ed almost a half through the use of
safety devices. Several other indus
tries show records almost as great.
Yet the movement is still in its long
dresses.
Safety First is due to sociological
agitation. The latter has moulded
public opinion and it has really made
the manufacturers more humane.
But the third element, profit, ac-
counts for the enthusiasm of the move
ment. The knowledge brought by a
first timid action has shown an old
fallacy and the way to bigger profits.
The movement has shown that the
most effective way to make reforms
is through the economical appeal.

PECUNIARY HUMANITY.

Safety First" pays not only from
the humane and social point of view;
it pays from the profit point of view,
according to the recent Safety" issue
of the Scientific American. This issue
by the way, is one of the best reviews
and explanations of the safety move
ment that have been published No
one who wishes to keep abreast of the
times in business, industry, mechan-
les or sociology can afford to miss it.
The safety articles deal with all these
phases of the movement
In studying the safety movement the
fact that men are i'm business for pro-
fit must be kept in mind. However
much one may disapprove of that con-
dition, or theorize as to how things
should be, he must study the subject
as conditions exist. To get profit is
the reason men do business.
In the light of this condition the facts
published in the articles of the Sci
entific American are given a peculiar
significance These facts are that, al
though industries have been run for
profit for many years, the men who
run them are just beginning to recog-
nize the most profitable methods:
that they are just awakening to the
knowledge that what they thought to
be profitable was really positive loss
1t is not a case of the recent dis
coyery of the methods, but a recent
discovery of the profit in the methods
The social value of safety was known
all the time. but the method was dis
carded because it was thought
to be Improbable and, in fact, destruc-
tive financially Now it is learned that
the contrary holds the truth.
Business men have learned through
experience that the spending of large
