CAMPING Out"


There came before my eyes an al
most forgotten picture of the woods
back home where we boys used to
camp OUT for a day at a time and
fish for bull-heads i'm Black Pond. On
Saturday morning YOU hurried through
your paper route and your breakfast.
and then out into the backyard to dig
can of worms under the grapevine,
near where the last batch of kittens
had been buried. You hunted up your
1sh-line and hooks and the rusty and
hors de-combat revolver you swapped a
pair of wheels for. Then you got a pin
box fun of salt and pepper, made sure
you had your jack-knife, filled your
pockets with potatoes, got a card of
matches (the old-fashioned sulphur
kind that came in the form of a picket
sence) out of the tin box in the
kitchen, jumped off the piazza, and
started on run up the street. The
tellers were waiting at the corner of
Autumn street. and you went off to-
gether in bunch, walking out of step
like a crowd of Chlnamen.--Walter A.
Dyer in The Countryside Magazine for
June.

WEST SHORES OPPORTUNITY

VXTEST SHORE communities
wv which are just now interested
in obtaining more, efficient
local government should not permit
present economies to blind them to pos
sible future needs. Indeed, the present
is far less an important consideration
than the future in the development of
any municipality. The West Shore
in time will become one great residen-
tial city and it should begin now to
lay it's plans toward that end. That
would incur no expense upon the tax
payers. The Harrisburg City Planning
Commission is at the disposal of the
West Shore. This is not a philan-
thropic offer of this city. The Plan
ming Commission is by law required to
aid in such cases.
But. on the other hand, Harrisburg
does not begrudge any money it may
spend in that direction. The expense of
preparing a plan for a community
while the community is still small is so
insignificant compared with the bene-
fits to be derived that it does not en-
such plan is the best possible invest
ment that city can make, not only
in the saving of future expense, but for
it's psychological value, for when the
future of city is planned that of it
self supplies an incentive to growth,
as there is something definite to be ac-
complished, and the town is more like
through having such a plan than
where its growth is purely haphazard.
At the same time its entefbrising citi-
zens are more likely to remain and
help build up the town than to 60 to
other places, while, besides retaining
its own population. it draws from less
enterprising cities, and it's growth is
accordingly still further stimulated
THE small town should begin at an
early period to accustom itself to prop
er regulations of different kinds. Only
by suitable regulation may the plans,
once adopted, be carried out" says
Frank Rooster, one of the municipal
experts of the country.
1t has sometimes happened in Amer
ica that towns have been laid out
along certain lines, but have grown of
at one side in a manner not intended
by their designers. Such towns are
often cited as examples of the futility
of attempting to forecast the future oi
civic developments. The absurdity oil
laying out a plan and then expecting q
city to develop along such lines of its
own accord, and when it does not the
added absurdity of pointing out Its
failure to do so as an argument against
city planning, are an adding of insult
to injury. 1t would be as sensible tc
erect a grape arbor and expect the

French Confident

correspondent writing to the New
York Post from Paris says, in an ar
tlcle relating to the manner in which
the French are paying their war debts:
THE public is now bringing to the
treasury an average of $4,000, 900
frances daily in exchange for short
term obligations at five per cent,
which shows sufficiently that the eau
tious French public is not alarmed by
the financial requirements of the
French effort.
The deductions drawn by French
financial experts generally is not only
that French confidence is undismayed
by the multiplication of the govern
ment's debts, but that it Is not money
but credit that is keeping the war GO
ing, primarily. On the other hand,
they point out it is the war that keeps
money in general circulation, handing
1t out to new creditors as fast as it is
brought in by old ones in exchange for
bonds. In this way the French public
debt has gone from about 32,OO0,OOO,-
600 francs to about $4,000, ZOO, 900, an
increase of nearly 50 per cent, but
nothing in proportion to the increase
in the public debt of Germany, which
is about SIS per cent. and Great Bri-
tain which is about 165 per cent"
