With weapons to bring you to bay.
Maybe you're frolicking far DER the

Perhaps in some city street, standing

You're waiting and watching for

At home or abroad, on land or on
In the city or far or afeld-
Somewhere you're lodging and hiding

With the treasure that you have to

Some day I'll have you, perhaps when

Then I'll keep you as long as live.

How to kehp a City Clean.

To make a city cleaner and neater

can be expected to act only on the in
sistence of the general public. I'm

erected on public property, the gen.

Economy In Fireproof Qualities.

While freproof qualities and perma-
nence Of materials are items appar-
emily increasing the cost of the new
house, the home-builder will find in
the end that economy lies in these
qualities; and applying the old adage
of the chain, his house will be as last
ing as its weakest part.
Hence the ratio between the life OF
different materials should be consld-
cred and permanence In the walls OF a
building should be duplicated In its
foundations and roof. As for instance:
a house Of brick to be consistently
permanent, requires concrete or stone
foundation, and slate roof.
The depreciation of house Of this
type is said to be about l per cent
year, reckoning its life to be 100
years.
But the permanency Of materials is
not restricted to brick alone, and that
frame houses can be constructed to
last 100 years, though not immune of
course from the accident OF fire, is typ
flied in the numerous frame houses OF
historical interest standing In state
of good preservation throughout tho
country.
Among these are the old Cushing
house at Higham, Mass, built In the
early part Of the eighteenth century;
tho Wadcworth hnupo I'm Camhri1 ua
built in 1928, and the Fairbanks house
In Dedham, probably the Oldest house
In America, built about 1886.
White pine was used extensively in
these houses, which fact is testimony
to the lasting qualities of that wood.

FAULT IN CITY PLANNING
Standardization Of Streets Can Be Car
ried to Excess, as California Jour
nallst Points Out.

Ono Of the greatest follies practlced
IN modern city-building, particularly
where the topography is broken in
character, lies in Standardization Of
streets, more especially regarding tho
width, says the Los Angeles Times.
The writer lives on cross street"
that is, one crossing at right angles a
main thoroughfare - Avenue Sixty
four-that carries ut least several
hundred times as much traffic as the
one first noted. yet the widths of the
two are the same. The one is three
blocks long. blind" at each end. hav-
ing no possibility of a direct outlet
at either extremity. The other is the
main highway from Los Angeles to
Pasadena by way of Colorado street,
and to Eagle Rock by the same feed
err"
There is no question but q greater
width Is needed on Avenue Sixty-four,
as Is the case with scores OF streets
similarly situated. 1t is equally GER
tain that the crossing streets are
twice as wide as need be. The miser-
able parkways are but AZ inches wide,
an area so restricted that good street
tree growth Is impossible. Every
property owner with whom the writer
has talked on tho subject would be
pleased to have several feet on each
side added to the parkway, yet major
ity does not rule, even in Los Angeles.
No traffic Ia seen on such streets ex-
cept the daily routine OF tho milk
man, baker and vegetable peddler.
Yet the width Is the same as that Of
the one great highway running
through the district
The case cited Is used merely be-
cause the writer has intimate personal
acquaintance with 1t, having resided
on this specific street for ten years.
No personal grievance inspired this
article, for the residents on the street
have never sought to have It changed.
All concede q widening Of parkings,
with a correspondingly narrower
driveway, would make more beauti-
full street, give It more pleasant as
pect, allow Of fine parkway gardening,
etc. But did they know that when tho
street is to be paved the cost Of the
useless strips Of width in paving
would pay for the change and new
curbs. they might petition the prop
er officials to make such change. AS
all streets are Of the same width, and
all at right angles as well. the plan
ming and plating Of such districts may
safely be turned over to our children.
And some OF the latter would be bet
ter than their parents.

For National Park Service

bill Is under consideration In congress to
establish a national park service The federal
government owns fourteen national parks, with
total area OF nearly fve million acres, all un.
der the Jurisdiction of the department OF the in.
terror 1t also owns thirty-one national monu.
ments, Of which nineteen are in the department
OF the interior, ten in the department OF agricul.
ture and two In the war department Under ex.
listing arrangements there has been no central
organization for the administration OF these
splendid recreational possessions Each OF the
fourteen national parks Is now under separate
management. II Is very desirable that these
parks be administered through general bureau
at the seat OF government in Washington.
There is a constantly increasing volume OF
travel to the national parks, and 1t Is necessary
that there should be one central organization
which may furnish reliable information attrac.
lively prepared for the benefit Of tourists to the
parks Under the existing order OF things very
little systematic work in this direction has been
possible. With national park service, equipped
with facilities and a competent corps of workers,
there might be developed a fine bureau of in.
formation, supplying to the general public the
things 1t wants to know about its parks and
monuments. 1t is to be noted In this connection
that Canada through Its department of parks,
parks that during the season OF 1916 when there
was such large volume Of travel through the
West, the Canadian parks attracted in the aggre.
gate more visitors than the parks Of the United
States, thus affording a fine illustration OF what
the government in exploitation OF its recrea
tional areas can do
