PARKS MEAN MUCH TO CITY
In the Welfare Of Any
Community.

Play and outdoor exercise are as
necessary to the modern city dweller
as is education, according to ]. r.
Richards, Chicago's superintendent of
recreation.
The way in which people spend their
lives after the days journey is over
the way in which they play offers
them the best chance of contributing
to the enhancement of one another,s
lives; that is the view, of Herbert
Croly in Progressive Democracy"
Parks are often called the lungs Of
the cities. That seems to denote
health giving. To call them the heart
of the cities might give more idea Of
the moral value Of the peoples play
grounds.
That there Is a moral issue In the
use Of public parks is the theme Of
Mr.. Richards paper on the Americans
city. The leisure time period, he de-
clares. is the part of our existence that
makes or breaks us. The saloon, Of
fering facilities for getting together, is
one resort open to the idle hour, and
he asserts that ''the first visit is for
companionship and not for BOOZE"
Among the recommendations for the
development Of recreation opportuni-
ties for adults Is that city authorities
should cooperate with organizations

d survey made to put into use for out
door sports all vacant areas. Grown
ups, he believes, should be induced to
take more interest in golf, tennis.
cricket, boating. skating and other
games and should be given plenty of
room for sport Public swimming
pools also are urged to spread health
and retain 1t.

cooked food of sufficient variety to

Orange Juice may be given quite a

NOT YET IN DISCARD
Nurse STILL A QUANTITY TO BE
REcKoNEo WITH.
Figures Show That Development Of
the Automobile Has by No Means
Done Away With Mans Always
Faithful Servant.

The horse still is king. The advent
Of autos has pushed him off some OF
the city streets as pleasure horse,
but his family is larger today than it
was 26 years ago, when automobiles
were unknown. Statistics compiled by
government bureaus show that S5 per
cent of transportation throughout the
United States is done by the horse.
Discussing the situation, Irving Par
menter, secretary of the New York
State Association of Horsemen, said
"The reports of the federal department
of agriculture show 21,000,000 horses
on the farms of the United States at
the present time against 100000 In
1890. The value of the horses on the
farms alone is estimated at more than
$4,000, 100000 ALL the automobiles In
the United States are rated at $780,
100000.
"The Commercial Car Journal ad-
mits that government statistics show
81 per cent of the nations transporta-
ton is done by horses.
while it Is true that the estimated
number of horses in this state has
shrunk 5000 in the past year, due
probably to war exports, farm horses
have increased. according to federal
figures, from 591008 as shown by the
1910 census, to 100000. In 1909 the
value of 10000 horses on New York
farms was placed at $s0,94O,OO0. To
day 100000 animals are valued at $S4,-
851, 900.
More horses are trucking on New
York's streets today than two years
ago.
Despite the Importance Of the horse
industry those interested in it failed to
organize until the horsemer were the
only class not represented by some
amalgamation. AS result their inter-
ests were neglected. Highways were
built unfit for horse to travel, no
proper provisions regulating stations
in service were made, and breeding
has declined until military and police
authorities have difficulty securing re-
mounts. and fire departments recon-
mend motor tractors because of the /.
scarcity and cost of high grade horses.
Now the horsemen have organized,
representing the farms, the road
drivers, the trucksters, the track
every branch Of the horse industry,
united for mutual protection, and sup
port.
THE New York State Association of
Horsemen has no dispute with the mo-
torists., We desire to cooperate with
the automobile organizations, for our
aims are one. Unquestionably a new
era Is upon us.
AS the cities put the slow-moving
vehicles to the curb, so should the
states trunk roads provide a smooth
center for faster travel, and upon
either flank there should be drives for
horses, Of a surface suitable for their
requirements. The creation of such
drives is one of our aims. The asso-
citation hopes also, to revive breeding,
and to see that the rights Of the horse
men are supported everywhere"

proper place in food values they will
no doubt continue to be wasted In
cooking.
The failure of getting good results
from vegetable food may be with the
selection, for vegetables out of season
are neither economical nor satisfac-
tory; the flavor is usually in inverse
ratio to the cost. The best of cook
ing and seasoning cannot supply the
lack of flavor.
Vegetables may be crisp and fresh
when brought from the market, but
by careless handling are wilted and
spoiled.
In the cooking of vegetables there
are a few things to remember, first
to retain all the mineral matter and
nutriment possible, to soften the cellu-
lose and to develop the flavor, making
them more palatable.
Spinach cooked properly should be
we'll washed and cooked without the
addition of water or very little. THIS
vegetable being rich in iron which is
soluble in water, may by being cooked
in large amount Of water be nearly
vaiueless as food This is true of
satisfy, green peas and beans, or, in
fact. any of the delicately favored,
succulent vegetables. The season
ing is another important item; the fla.
vor should never be disguised by sea.
soning. Usually butter. pepper and
salt, not too much, is the best be
cause it is the plainest
To accomplish these results one
may use several methods; cook the
vegetable whole or in large pieces. to
cook with the skin on when possible
to cook in as small an amount of wa
ter as possible without burning, to
serve the water In a sauce with the
vegetable whenever possible, and to
season after the vegetable has start
ed cooking SO that the salt does not
draw out the flavor.

Plan the 4'cEty Practical"

Something of the right spirit Is in
st. Louis, where Harlan Bartholomew
has been engaged by the citizens city
planning committee. The river front
and the street system will first engage
his attention.
"The city beautiful idea does not
appeal to the general public suffi-
GENTLY to win financial support" he
said shortly after arriving from New
ark, N. j., where for three years he
had been a. city plan expert. II am
interested In the city practical, and I
find that the public is inclined to
favor it, as Is comes to understand
what can be done, and the benefits
that will follow.
"The river front should be made a
public convenience and business as
set, and the improvements to be made
should be In the direction OF aiding
the interchange of freight between
rail and water carriers.
1.-THE street system Of st. Louis, as
of most American cities. is too largely

planning has to correct the mistakes
of the past, which are often costly
mistakes. The only place where II
can do new work. and prevent further

PLAT KNOWS BIRDS

Representative Edmund Platt, who
is newspaper publisher of Pough-
keepsie, N. Y, knows more things
that are true about birds than any
body else in congress.
Whenever he can collect little
spare time, Plat puts duh statecraft
behind him and sets forth into the
woods and fields to listen to the song
and twitter of the birds. Sparrows.
robins, fiamingoes. storks. crows.
wrens-no matter what kind Of birds
he sees. Plat knows them all by sight.
II bird is sitting still he can tell It
by its plumage, IL flying. by its fight.
And il he can't see the stork or linnet
or cockatoo or whatever the bird Is,
he can identify 1t by it's song. A bird
finds 1t practically impossible to fool
Platt. The blackbird that tries to
pass itself on on Plat for quail pre-
sents an absurd spectacle.
Rarely does Plat venture out of
the house without his bird book and

R,,t the enforcement of the laws

But the enforcement of the laws
on Sunday, as many persons have
read the law, is not the feature OF
the "ouster'' law. The law calls for
the rigid enforcement Of the laws
every day in the week. No new
laws regarding the observance of the
Sabbath have been added to the stat
utes. It merely calls attention OF the
officers of the state to the enforce
ment of all the laws every day IN
the year. That the officers have been
lax in law enforcement on the Sab
bath and caused the uproar among
those who have either violated or en-
couraged its violation is undoubtedly
true.
All the new laws Of the state are
effective on and after Saturday next,
save and except such as are fixed by
law for becoming operative on fix
ed date. Ninety days following the
final adjoutiment of the legisla-
ture is the constitutional time for the
operation of all general laws.
