having boating facilities on the arti-
fetal channel
Ample provision for the parking OF
automobiles has been made not only at
the lower end of the island, but at the
main fieldhouse and the lighthouses
those. points being the most important
places where such parking facilities
are necessary. The space reserved for
parking near the railroad stadium will
accommodate more than 800 automo-
biles. and is so arranged In conjunction
with the railroad terminals that auto
mobiles can come in at one end and out
at the other without crossing the rail-
road tracks. At the point near the
boat harbor, where the railroad termi-
nus and ferry come together, appro-
pirate accommodations are planned fol-
large numbers OF 'jitney' and motor
buses: 1t is believed that great num-
bers of such service vehicles will be
available as soon as visitors commence
to make use of the park and its facili.
ties, and that these would likely take
care of the demand for transportation
for a few years until the work on the
major improvements has advanced suf-
ficiently for providing for better IA
cilties."
Development Of Park Discussed.
In transmitting Col. Harris project
Gen. Kingman, chief of engineers, says
that the development Of East Potomac
Park as a public recreation ground has
been the subject of much thought and
the plan submitted has been developed
with great care.
while l am not prepared to pass at
this time,'' said Gen. Kingman, upon
all of the details of the proposed de-
velopment, l am in favor of the plan
as a whole. The estimates of cost ap-
pear proper and the plan is considered
as a preliminary study only, and will
consideration of it's details is under
taken. The buildings of the Washing
ton District engineer depot in the
northwest corner Of the park, adjacent
to the railroad embankment, are not
shown on the plan Of the proposed de-
velopment. but they will not be re-
moved unless their removal is specially
considered and authorized

Sees Rare Opportunity.

Col. Harris gives a history of the rec
larnation of the malaria breeding flats
of the Potomac and the DEVELOPMENT
Of the present beautiful park, and says
rare opportunity is now presented
for Transforming the large nat area
east OF the railway embankment below
the tidal basin, commonly called East
Potomac Park, into a public recrea ton
field. for the benefit of the people.
This area, says he. forms a contjn-
uation of West Potomac Park being
separated from the latter by the rail-
way and Highway bridges The drive
ways in Potomac Park have been ex-
tended to the lower end of East Poto-
mac Park, and new planting has been
arranged to make these roads more at
tractive. At the same time, the fact
that this park is adjacent TO South
Washington, the one section Of the city
most in need of recreation places
makes 1t desirable to utilize the oppor-
tunities presented by a large area es-

ELABORATE PLANS
FOR POT0MACPA PARK
Great Recreation Center East
of Railroad Would Cost
$1,O99,602.
COL. HARTS' PROPOSALS
STRONGLY ENDORSED
Provision Made for All Kinds Of
Sports Stadium Seating 10000
Spectators Desired.

Comprehensive plans for the
development of East Potomac
Park into an ideal recreation park
and playground worthy of the
capital OF great nation today
were submitted to Congress.
These plans were prepared by
Col. w. w. Harris, the engineer
officer in charge of public build
ings and grounds, and were ap-
proved in turn by the national
commission of fine arts, Gen.
kingman, chief of engineers, and
Gen. H. S. Scott, Secretary OF
War ad interim. Utilizing prac-
tically all of the reclaimed area
OF Potomac Park east of the
Pennsylvania railroad embank-
ment, about 327 acres in extent,
provision is made for free and
pleasant indulgence in all forms
OF open-air games and pastimes
known to the American public,
and also for the accommodation
OF those who prefer to loaf and
invite their souls" in beautiful
and cheerful surroundings.
For the special benefit of those ad-
dicted to athletic exercises ample areas
and facilities are to be provided for
foot ball, base ball, tennis. croQuet,
basket ball, golf. swimming. boating
and other forms of sport. Outside of
the actual playing fields the chief fea-
lures of the plan are modern stadium
capable of accommodating 10000 spec
tators. parade ground of sixty acres,
two capacious swimming pools. boat
houses and harbor and a feldhouse
available for dances and band concerts
and containing public conveniences.
These features. together with roads,
paths. gardening and cross-canals, are
the chief items of cost.
Estimated Cost 81, oee, 500.
In its report to Congress the War
Department estimates the total cost of
Improving the park complete, accord
Ing to the approved plans, at approxi-
mately 100000. The cost of the sta
dunn is estimated at s1O3.35O. the two
swimming pools at s44,1o0, the cross
canal at $4,000, two bathhousee ar
$4,000, a heldhouse at $4,000, two
cement bridges at $4,000, grading and
seeding at $4,000. machinery, etc $50

Care in Framing Plan.

The plan presented herewith. while
subject to further study when the ex-
ecution Of its details is undertaken, has
been developed with great care 1t has
been prepared by an experienced land
scape designer well versed in the han
ding and treatment of similar large
projects elsewhere. and has progressed
under the supervision Of the national
commission Of fine arts. whose men,
bers have taken great interest in the
successful outcome Of the project. 1t
has the approval of that body as pre-
liminary study.
Although the project embodies facil-
tiles for every anticipated modern rec
reation, it does not present an extra
ordinarily ambitious scheme. Based on
the experiences of other large cities, it
merely follows the installation of SINH
lar facilities already in successful
operation in those cities.

Roadway Changes Possible.

The existing thirty-foot circuit road
running along the borders of the park
will be available throughout, few
slight changes in it's location being ex-
pected only at the location for the pros
pective boat harbor on the Washing
ton channel side and where the road
passes beneath the railroad tracks in
entering the park.
Stadium and Vicinity.
AT the northeast corner of the
grounds. near the main entrance. the
plan provides for the erection of q
'U'-shaped stadium. located in such a
manner as to command full view OF
the entire field, the river beyond, and
in the distance, the rolling hills of Vir.
ginia and Maryland. The stadium it.
and will be inconspicuous from the
White House and the Monumen,
grounds. Its central portion is to be
equipped with fixed concrete seats. an6
would have an actual seating capacity
of 5000, while on the turf slopes Of the
temporary wooden seats can be sc
placed as to accommodate a maximum
seating capacity of $4,000. On specia
occasions of the gathering of large
crowds. wooden temporary seats car
be placed at the open end of the
stadium SO as to expand this seating
capacity to about 10000. Passageway.
through the center of the stadium EN-.
bankment would approach the field
from the railroad termini at the rear OF
the stadium, and be arranged SO as tt
give convenient space for locker rooms
toilet rooms and like conveniences fol
players and spectators.
Within the stadium angle lie tn.
running track, one-third mile long
and a 220-yard straightaway dash
while it's shape permits the games O.
base ball and foot ball to be played
before large audiences. At each enc
of the wings are permanently located
foot ball practice fields. These are II

The Parade Ground.

The large parade ground Of sixty
acres which the stadium faces will con-
veniently accommodate thirteen base
ball diamonds. These are SO disposed
that all but two of them can be equip
ped with permanent backstops, while
the two which are located in the center
of the field can be supplied with easily
removable backstops set in sockets SC
as not to interfere with other games
when the space Is needed. The great
advantage of this Arrangement liz that

available on short notice for parades

all the larger civic attractions and
games so popular In recent years.

Lagoon Will Be Attractive.

"Nested in the area about one-third
of a mile south OF the feIdhouse and
half way the length of the island is a
small lagoon. This lagoon will add
greatly to the picturesqueness of the
course and the general attractiveness
and interest of the whole park. 1t Of

Of the most charming and beautiful

fractions of the park and to the many
natural vistas and landscapes.

AN OLD RECIPE
 TO DARKEN HAIR
Common Garden Sage and Sulphur Makes StreaI1ed, Faded or Gray
 Hair Dark and Youthful at Once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur properly com pounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound You will get a large bottle of this old time recipe inn proved by the addition of other in gredients for about 50 cents. Every body uses this preparation now. be- cause no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does 1t so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one, small strand at a time; by morn ing the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, mltl- gation or prevention of disease.

HUGHES APPEALS ID
 YOUNG REPUBLICANS
Tells Them Why They Should
 Support (. 0. p. Ticket

New York, Oct. 26-Charles E. Hughes last night told an audience in the Academy Of Music, Brooklyn why Tn his opinion, the young men of the nation should support the republican ticket at the next election. Five chief reasons were cited, in answer to the question :"What sort of country does oung America vibrant with pa trot1sm, desire"? MT. Hughes an sWered the question, in part, as fol- lows:
 First, he wants a country respect ed throughout the world. He wants 9 country which respects the dignity of it's citizenship.
 Second, Young America must de- sire a country that is prepared for every emergency"
 Third, Young America, looking ahead, must desire that when peace is once more restored, we shall con- tribute to it's maintenance by doing cur proper share to secure a practi- cable and effective international or ganization in the interests of peace
 Fourth, Young America wants government in the open by visible constitutional instrum ents, not by un- official spokesmen or invisible au- tllOrlty. He also wants a gOVernm ent not sectional, but truly national.
 Fifth, Young America wants in dustrial preparedness
 In citing his second reason, Mr. Hughes assailed the administration for lack of preparedness, referred to manifest defects'' in the army reOr- Ganization bill declared that the navy department had incapable leader ship" and touched upon a recom- nnendation by Secretary Garrison in June, 1914, that the regular army be filled to it's full strength" a rec mendation, MT. Hughes said, that had been ignored.
 "I am informed upon competent authority" MT. Hughes said, that lad there been the addition to the regular army then desired by Secre- tary Garrison, it would not have been necessary to send our national guard to the border.''
 The audience Mir. Hughes faced last night filled every available foot of space in the big building. Scores un- able to find standing room in the rear were massed in the wings of the stage. The house was filled at ' o'clock and ten minutes later, an hour before MT. Hughes reached the building, the doors were closed by the police. Crowds were turned away, but waited around to see the nominee as he passed by.
