Some of the other features In the
tentative plan are: Two swimming
pools. one wading pool. two cricket
fields. twenty-eight tennis courts. an
eighteen-hole golf course. four basket
ball fields. and combination rogue
and croquet field.
In mapping out the plan" said Col.
Harris. I'VE made a study of Van
CORTLAND Park. New York. and the
large athletic parks of Philadelphia
and Boston. with a view to incorpor-
ating the features of all of them in
the National Capitals park OF
course, some of the phases of the
plan may have to be broadened or
curtailed''
Field Once q swamp.
Twenty-Five years ago the tract on
which Col. Harris hopes to carry out
his plan was a swamp. When the
government began to deepen the
channel of the Potomac a stone wall
was placed around this neck of land
and the drainage from the bed Of the
river was pumped into the little
island" of swamp. It has long since
dried out and in recent years its bar
rem surface has been covered by high
weeds. The plot is now encircled by
a new branch Of the speedway.
One OF the first steps in Col Harris
plan Is to induce the street railway
companies to run branch lines to wash
ington's prospective athletic park Col.
Harris hopes to make the various fields
and courts available even to those who
cannot AFFORD automobiles to carry
them to and fro.
Col Harris said IT has not been de-
cided whether any charge will be
made for the use Of these various
fields in the new park The few base
ball diamonds and tennis courts that
have already been opened in Potomac
Park and other parks in different parts
of the city have required only a per-
nit from Col Harris for use by the pub
lie. 1t Is probable. however, that in
the new park a small charge will have
to be made to support the fields and
keep them in condition.
Aside from this plan. Col Harris ex-
poets to add a dozen more tennis
courts to those already in use in West
Potomac Park.
Washington has taken to the plan
of public athletic parks with such en-
thusiasm that we have been unable to
keep up with the demand for tennis
courts and baseball diamonds in the
outlying parks Of ths CITY," said Col.
Harris.

Good and i'll contend today in the sway
of the stars. Astrologers read that Venus
is in a place strongly benefic, while the
sun is adverse.
1t is a time rather auspicious for wom-
en- and their affairs. especially whatever
has to do with romance. Engagements
made while this conhguration prevails
should be fortunate.
There is a sign said to be lucky for the
wearing OF new clothing and the pre-
sentation of gifts.
Social enterprises of every sort should
benefit from this rule Of the planets,
Dinners where matters of importance are
discussed should be lucky
Singers, actors and speakers have a
favorable direction today, but they will
succeed best through their talents un-
assisted by any outside influences.
This is likely to be a time OF extreme
strain for the Pope, who comes under
sinister sway toward the end of the
year.
Religious organizations OF every sort
may encounter unusual conditions in the
forthcoming months. While an awaken
ing to spiritual things long has been prog
nosticated for this end of a cycle. re-
organization and change are predicted.
One characteristic of this transition will
be the exposure Of scandals affecting the
clergy.
Greece is subject ID government Of
the stars which Is on the whole lucky.
Motion picture producers and managers
of motion picture thcaters have a direc-
ton indicating conditions of great up
heaval and modification. The seers pre-
dict new fields for exploitation and al
tered standards of work.
A strike that will cause immense losses
Is now said to be indicated by the plghets.
Trouble for United States Senator or
Representative who will identify himself
with a public movement is foretold.
Persons whose birthdate It Is prob
ably win have a successful year In busi-
ness. They should avoid travel and may

The late Rev. DIR. d. Parker Morgan,
who was for many years rector Of one of
the largest Episcopal churches In New
York City. having become impaired in
health. was made rector emeritus, SO
as to enable him to live in the tonic
furnishing atmosphere of the Berkshire
Mountains. While sojourning I'm that
region. DR.. Morgan took great interest
In the development OF the country and
was one of the first to recommend the
sinking OF an artesian well upon the
western slope of one of the Berkshires
SO as to provide water for a wide region
which has been neglected because water
was lacking. 4 considerable fund was
raised, the artesian well builders en-
tered into contract at so much a foot
and the boring OF the well began The drill
penetrated sold rock. 800 feet, 800 feet,
so feet, until at last il was within two
feet of exhaustion OF the fund. There
we're some who advised abandonment Of
the undertaking. DR.. Morgan urged
that the drilling be continued until the
money was exhausted. although tina,
point would be reached after two rect
more had been drilled.
When the drill entered upon the last
foot, there suddenly gushed a powerful
and great stream Of water. which upon
being tested, was found TO be organicaIly
pure. Its flow was great enough to pro-
vide villages upon the western slope of
the mouain with all the water that
was needed, and science showed how
part of the stream could be carried
over the mountain so as to furnish
villages upon the eastern slope with an
abundant supply.
DR.. Morgan narrated this incident to a
group OF friends while upon a visit to
New York City. And he was told thai
the anecdote remainded one of those
who heard him of the experience OF those
who discovered or developed the Big
Bonanza mines. The prospectors hau
been working for months in the Old
Consolidated mine in the hope that they
might get enough low-grade ore to make
this work fairly profitable.
One day a man who had a reputation
as a geologist suggested that If they
would dig north from one of the shafts
they might strike a rich vein. 1t was
thought worth while TO make the ex-
pertinent although it would cost a good
deal OF money. The work was continued
until at last the Big Bonanza was struck,
but had the original shaft been only
LOO feet instead of l.200-feet deep then
the true vein would not have been dis
covered. There was only 100 feet be-
tween colossal success and absolute
failure. DR.. Morgan confessed that thu.
was an anecdote which carried much
greater significance than the simple one
which he had told.

Col. Harris Tells Of Plans for
Athletic Paradise In Capital
Public Buildings Official Says Washington Probably Will
Have Most Complete Amusement Parks in World Within
Ten Years-OutEnes Interesting Details.

Within ten years the District will have
one Of the most complete public amuse-
ment parks in the world. II present plans
Of Col W. W. Harris. superintendent Of
public buildings and grounds. are APP
proved and supported financially by Con-
gress. Col. Harris has mapped out a
comprehensive plan for converting the
~ acfes of unimproyed land southeast
OF Potomac Park and just aeross from
the Seventh street wharves into an ath-
letic paradise"
The plan Is so broad in scope that IL
can be carried out only gradually. Col
Harris estimates that ten years should
see its completion. He said that Con-
gress has Indicated its willingness TO aid
such a plan by declaring some time ago
that the trace OF land referred to re
perpetually devoted to recreation for the
people OF the District.
The feature OF the plan Is the erection
Of a stadium capable of seating 1000.

Whether Col Harris proposes to make
the erection of the stadium the first step
in his plan could not be learned He is
not at liberty to discuss what requests
he Is sending to Congress in his esti-
mates for next year. II Is dream of
the near future, however.
1T Is not our intention to have a
stadium with 1000 empty seats al
ways gaping across the field" said
Col. Harris The tentative plan calls
for a U-shaped grand stand with a
seating capacity of $4,000. Now.
when occasion demands, the two ends
of the big "U' can be extended to the
end of the field. and then, II more
seats are desired. the t. can be COM
pleted into a huge oval-shaped stand,
seating a world series crowd"
In addition to the big field. there
will be thirteen smaller baseball dia-
monds for the use of the public.
These diamonds will cover an area
aggregating sixty acres IF it is de-
sired to hold a drill or other big out
door celebration" said the colonel.

Answers to Correspondents.

To T. P. D., who asks for the origin
of the name Daniels and the family

Many genealogists of the Daniels
family are inclined to accept the Nor
man origiP Of the surname-that Is
that the name was originally de An
yers, of Norman origin. from a town in
Normandy. Among the Huguenots
Daniel was a common surname.
O'DonneIl is perhaps another form
of this patronymic. At any rate. we
find that william o'Donnell. Arehbish-

Our measley contemporary down

week and wanted to know how we got

make our monthly installment pay

machine tested for deterioration every
Saturday night. Before this we were
able to put up "front" and when a

plans whereby the farmers of North

he will endeavor to raise funds for
putting in a farm advisor. Funds for
this purpose have already been allot-

WHAT WOULD CHRIST DO?

We read of the electrocution of
Charles Becker and of the circum-
stances surrounding the case, of the
final plea of the faithful wife for
leniency, amid we wonder had our
Savior been governor of New York
would this man have been electro
cuted Platte Tribune.
Per contra. Had our Savior been
police lieutenant of the city of New
York would He, as an official, have
countenanced the disgraceful disre-
gard of law and order that existed I'M
der the rule of Becker? Would He
have existed on the profits OF graft
and illegitimate business? Would He
have lined His own pockets with the
gains of crime and violence? Would
He have sought to pile up wealth at
the expense of fallen women? Would
He have worked hand in hand with
gamblers and gunner of the country's
metropolis? Would He have stopped
to the basenesS of murder? Would
He have hired professional murderers
to accomplish an object which He was
too cowardly to undertake? Would He
have conspired to set at naught the
laws of the commonwealth and the
ordinances of the city which He was
sworn to uphold and enforce? Would
He have been guilty of breaking prac-
tically every one of the command
ments which form the basis of every
moral and social law?
If there were any basis for believ-
ing that our Savior would have been
guilty of any such a record, then there
might be some foundation for the
theory of His clemency in the case OF
the convicted police lieutenant of New
York.-Clifton Mining Journal.
Yes, and the Almighty turned Cain
out in a mighty small precinct at the
time, with a murderer's brand on him
for killing one man. 1t sounds mighty
sympathetic to wait for some cold
blooded murder when it hasn't cost
YOU a father, son or a daughter. You
weep alone with but the few friends,
but the gallant" murderer because Of
the publicity he gets, has whole raft
of soft headed NUTS who could
kindly sit by and see their own
mothers starve to death, are ready to
wait and make big show OF their
crocodile sympathy.

The people generally are awakening
to the fact that condition not a
theory" confronts the United States.
War is an ungodly affair, but the
sloven who neglects his fences, who
neglects his house until disaster oc-
ours and is then weak helpless, draws
but pittiful sympathy from his fellow
men. Most people pity the weak and
admire the strong. The United States
with its broadened ideas of liberty
and intellectual honesty among the
people at large could hardly be drawn
into a war unless in the interest of
the right-and if we are an honest
upright nation as we claim to be, a
development of our strength and a
state of preparedness for emergen-
cies would be only just to the people
generally. No true American desires
to be called coward or of being
placed in a helpless position where the
term can be applied by any nation on
earth. America wants peace and
prosperity, but not at any price. If a
few millions spent in preparedness
will save even few lives, America
can afford it.

fident that it will be appreciated. Mrs.

THERE WILL BE NO PEACE IN

10 the Editor:
A very remarkable idea obtains in

the war in Europe is the last great
war, and that it is a war for peace.
"All that is necessary is to break

lennium is assured" many say. So
while the war is raging, men are pro-
claiming for the future, peace and
safety"
How few know that the prophetic
Word is being fulfilled in this awful
conflict! Our great boosted civiliza-
ton has broken down; for while man
has undoubtedly been refined and edu-
Gated and cultured" it is scarcely
more than veneer, for in battle he
oftentimes seems as Oarbarous as in
the days of Attila or Alarc.
