There they decided to have a soldiers

of land had been donated to the town,
but it was simply barren tract. So a
day was set aside--it was an appro-
pirate day, too. Patriots Day, April l3
ON which the whole town was to
turn out and pitch in to convert this
unattractive tract into fine park and
peoples playground.
And they did turn out. Everybody
who could walk was there. Men, wom-
en- and children; old and young; rich
and poor, all got on overalls or some
kind of working clothes and gathered
up a shovel or a rake or a pick or
some other useful tool and made an
early start for the proposed park.
1t looked like great ant hill. But
supervisors had arranged everything
in advance so that there was no con-
fusion and everybody went to his place
and worked there. The result was
that when the day was ended, as per-
feet a day as that town had ever seen.
no one would have recognized the un-
slightly tract of the morning. In the
morning IL was nothing; in the even
ing 1t was a park, dedicated to the
soldiers from that town who had laid
down their lives that their fellows
might be happy. The land had been
properly terraced and sodded. walks
had been laid out, big boulder bear
ing the names of those who gave their
lives had been put in place with simple
but impressive ceremony. and thirteen
elm trees had been planted In honor of
the men who had paid the supreme
sacrifice. In addition a large number
Of other trees and shrubs had been
planted in the soldiers memorial park.
Many Plans

center buildings containing facilities
for public amusement and education.
Fairgrounds. parks, swimming pools
and so on, are being discussed in many
cities and towns throughout the coun-
try. An entire group of civic buildings
sometimes Is included In the plan.
Tree planting in the parks or around
the buildings Is one of the features
of the plans. Philadelphia Is one OF
the large cities in which the plan has
been under discussion of a large COM
munity structure. The proposal has
been made in st. Louis to carry out an
extensive scheme of civic improve
ment including avenues and parks as
a memorial. Minneapolis is setting
out several miles of trees along the
roadways in its extensive park system.
A proJect has been proposed In
Birmingham, Alabama, which would
take in large group OF buildings as
civic center surrounding a large
park. Los Angeles, Chattanooga.
Mobile, Alabama and Richmond, Va,
are among other cities where plans for
memorial auditoriums or community
center buildings have been proposed.
In Jacksonville the Rotary Club is
backing a plan to purchase a large
city block and transform 1t into a

! In Missouri one community has
named a newly-constructed highway
after its first son who gave his life in
the service. Trees are being planted
along highways in many parts of the
country as memorials, as well as IN
city parks and along avenues. Spokane,
Washington, is setting out a mile of

Abernathy in the White House.
Roosevelt made him a United States
marshal for Oklahoma. The Colonel
never forgot his Rough Rider and
cowboy friends. They swarmed to
the White House to see him, and he
frequently compelled distinguished
statesmen to "cool their heels" in
his office while he buzzed about old
days in the West with freak callers
Frank Tyree, of West Virginia, one
OF the Secret Service men stationed
at the White House, was appointed
United States marshal in that State.
He had often accompanied Roosevelt
on strenuous physical trips.
"High Spy" and Medicine Ball.
In rough winter days. when walk
ing or riding were not pleasant,
Roosevelt assembled his tennis cabi-
net or other admirers in the base
ment of the White House and there
they threw the medicine ball or play
ed high spy" throughout the build
ing; just anything to keep in physical
trim.
There are half a dozen men around
the White House who have seen
Roosevelt running all over that build
ing playing high spy" with distin-
guished men who were his intimate
friends. He would whoop with the
wholesomeness of boy. Whatever
he went into was with his whole
heart.
