In Tricky Populated Sections.

"In the thickly populated downtown
sections of the city ample and beauti-
full parks and circles which may be
called parks are provided and are well
kept up. But unfortunately there this
much desired provision for outdoor
pleasure and fresh air and sunshine
stops While provision has been made
for the extension of all streets to the
outer sections of the District on the
broad lines of the plan of the original
city of Washington, no provision has
been made for parks, large or small, in
these outside sections that are fast
coming into the city and becoming
thickiy populated. This is serious
oversight.
THE people residing in these sec
tipns need the open parks even more
than most of the people downtown be-
cause of the inaccessibility to them OF
the larger parks. the resort of the PEG
pie who ride in their automobiles.
These people pay their share of the
taxes used for the acquisition and
upkeep of the larger and the downtown
parks and should have local parks of
their own, and this will not be made
a model city until this is done.
cit is maintained by some that 1t is
unfair to tax the people for one-half Of
the expense of acquiring and keeping up
an unusually large and expensive park
system for the capital But this claim is
unfOunded

POINTS TO NEED
Of AMPLE PARKS
Senator Works Declares Sec
tions of Washington Are
Entirely Neglected.
BELIEVES IN PROVIDING
NEW RECREATION PLACES
Also Would Improve Those Already
acknowledgements the Capital
With Other Cities.

The need of providing ample public
parks in the new sections of Washing
ton. rapidly becoming thickly popu-
lated. is emphasized by Senator works
of California, who is urging that Con-
gress pay all the expenses of the Dis
trict on a very liberal scale. after the
people have been taxed reasonable
amount. He points out in his report to
Congress as member of the joint
select committee on the fiscal relations
between the United States and the Dis
trict that while provision has oeen
made to continue the development o!
the city on large lines as to streets and
avenues in the newly opened suodl-
visions. there is no provision for parks
in those sections.
Discussing the park system of the
District. Senator Works says:
The District of Columbia has good
reason to be proud of her parks. MOST
of them are very small and Rock Creek
Park, the largest of them all. has not
been made what it should be IN the
interest of the whole people. 1t is es-
sentially a rich mans park.

Made Beautiful by Nature.

1T is beautiful because nature made
it SO and not by the expenditure OF
money by the government or the Dis
trict. 1t has been made available to
people who can afford their automobile
or carriage by beautiful drives. The
acquisition and improvement OF the
park is to be highly commended, but
it's advantages and the pleasure to be
derived from it are confined to com
paratively few people who really need
il the least.
The same may be said of Potomac
Park. There are no buildings. no play
grounds. no stadiums. no places of
recreation. no place where the people
are provided with any conveniences for
meeting together to listen to music or
enjoy other sources of amusement or
pleasure in Potomac or Rock. Creek
parks. They are not accessible to the
general public by any cheap means of
travel and only long distance pedes-
TRANS are able to see or enjoy them on
foot. If the parks are intended ana de-
signed exclusively as beautiful drive
ways. they are a great success. but II
they are intended for the enjoy ment OF
the general public, as / think they
should be- they need much to make
them suitable and accessible for such
a purpose In this respect they do not
compare with the parks of other large
cities, in area, accessibility and htness
for park purposes.

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
MILTON's FINANCES.

From the Milford Chronicle.
I'm locking over the financial 81 ate
mont of the town OF Milton it is shown
that only 1880 is received from the
people as taxes for the maintenance
Of town government, and that Sussex
county gives to the Incorporated town
$500 each year for maintenance Of
streets and bridges The tax rate IL,
the past has been very small. and the
public service given has been in cor
responding smallness; but Milton has
installed a system of water service.
and now the people can have some Of
the modern conveniences such as hot
and cold water, baths wash paves and
other home cOnveniences which were
once classed as luyuries, but which
are now recognized as economical
home necessities and aids to health.
The retiring address of the mayor
I'm which he refused to be reelected
is interesting. He states there were
those who opposed his ideas as to best
public service. and in a spirit Of hold
ing the mirror up to nature. he ap-
proves the installation of the water
system as not only a benefit for Mil
ton and a convenience, but that the
installation will make life easier for
many of the women of Milton. who
have done the water pumping and
carrying for years, while the men
folks have permitted them to assume
the duty of even hewers OF wood and
drawers of water, without any as
sistance from them.
Milton will probably raise more
money in the future for her town
management and install sewers as
we'll as an electric lighting system
There will be those who will oppose
these improvements: but they will
come IN the end. as do all things
which will make life better the living
in any community.

Discussing this country's indus
trial and commercial future, James
]. Hill says:
"some Of our people want a nigh
protective tariff against foreign
goods. But if those products are
kept from our markets how can
Europe pay for what she will want
from us when the war Is over?"
What Mr.. Hill means is that if the
war lasts long enough Europe will
have no American securities left to
trade back TO us for our products.
and, home requirements considered,
no gold to pay down on our counters.
He might have gone further. He
might have said that when the war
is over. foreign governments and for
eign peoples will be heavily in debt
TO us. and that If we do not take
their products in payment, of the
debts they owe us we cannot get
paid at all
Every bit Of that is as true as
gospel and as clear as sunshine. II
is for that very reason, however, that
we must determine in advance not
whether we are going to let them
pay us in products. for we have to
do that, but in what products we
are going to let them pay us.
Since we must take the products
of foreign peoples, those now at war
and those now at peace if we are
going to sell our own surplus prod
ucts abroad, and if we are going to
be paid for them and for the debts
owed ms, we must be mighty careful
in what currency Of products we are
paid. If we aren't careful we would
better never sell to them and We
would better never get the debts
paid that they owe us; for if our for
eign trade, exports and imports pui
together, amounts to S5,OO0.0OO 900 a
year. our own domestic trade be-
tween State and State amounts tc
100000 100000 We can better spare
the calf than The COW. We can better
burn the shed than the house We
can better lose a little of the cargo

interior, because of the impoverish-
ment of the public and its inability
to buy, will 90 to the poorhouse along
with all the others.
This is the very essence of the
whole question Mr.. Hill can be alb
solutely right when he says that if
we are going TO be paid by foreigners
they must pay us in the only coin
they will have-their products. But
anybody must be wrong to think that
we should permit ourselves to be
paid in currency - the cheaper
products-which just as surely drive
our products out of our own mar
kets as base coin drives gold
out of the country.
Mr.. Hill doesn't question Gresham's
law as to poor money that banishes
good money. No man that can think
straight questions it, There is no
more difference between the natural
law which permits poor money TO
drive out good money and the natural
law which permits, indeed compels,
a cheaper product to drive a dearer
product of the same kind out of a
market.
Now, with our great population of
more than lO0.0O0,000 people on a
high standard Of living, accustomed
to abundant consumption and
equipped with tremendous purchas-
ing power-nowhere on the face OF
the earth is there anything else like
five can take foreign products, il
they are the right products, if they
don't close our mills and factories, il
they don't set our farmers to plas-
tering their farms with mortgages
again, if they don't cut down the
earning power of the American peo-
ple-we can take such foreign prod
ucts by the hundreds of millions. by
the billions, a year, and not suffer
economically; on the contrary, eX-
cept in so far as indulgence in easy
aud luxurious living may deplete q
races vitality and thus endanger its
future existence, prosper prodigi-
ously.
This is the opportunity and this is
the duty ahead of us-to take from
foreigners all that we need and al
that we can take without sacrificing
our own markets. wrecking our owr
industries and pauperizng our owr
wage-earners; and not to take what
to national industry. national self
support and national existence, mus
be no better than poison.

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

II you want plenty Of thick, beauti-
full, glossy, silky hair. do by all means
get rid of dandrun, for it will starve
your hair and ruin it if you don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces Of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
Z You will find too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will look and feel
hundred times better You can get
liquid aryon at any drug store. It is
Inexpensive and four ounces is all you
will need, no matter how much dand-
ruff you have. This simple remedy
never fails.
