Who does sit on the park benches
Contrary to popular belief, II is not
the sad failures alone. the man out
OF Job. but a great host OF human
beings out for recreation and diver
sion.
The parks with their beautiful
greenswards and grove trees, band
concerts, fountains. birds twittering
and numerous sports and games. have
become great recreation fields for the
public. They have a new meaning
and new place in our social life. says
Col Sheriff., since the various field
sports have been introduced, say like
polo.
No longer does the park visitor
merely sit on the bench ard look at
the scenery. however beautiful. There
are too many games or activities,
says Col Sheriff..
WHAT THIS CITY HAS.
Washington has 440 parks. includ-
ing Rock Creek Park. one of the most
beautiful and extensive forestry parks
in the country. The total acreage of
all parks here is 2,T47 acres. There
are 300 gardens and 400 garden work
ers. The cash value of all the crops
Is $4,000. Every garden you see on
your strolls through the parks Is
worth SS4.
And there is some sort of game or
meeting or something scheduled and
planned for every park by the Public
Buildings and Grounds Department.
These fine June days have brought
them" out, and il is estimated fully
1000 people use the parks every day,
Every day. almost. there rs some
thing doing at one OF the parks.
Not only do the boys meet at one
of the ball diamonds for game.
but society comes in full force for
polo game in West Potomac Park,
and "Skinnay" and milady mingle.
And there is ferry boat operat-
ing under the public buildings and
grounds department. II plies be-
tween Seventh street wharf on tho
Potomac to Hams Point, where there
is a little tea house by the
District Girl Scouts. It's fine place
to go picnicking.

To say nothing Of the band con-
certs. There Is a band concert every
afternoon or evening at one Of The
parks. And picnic almost every
day. Rock Creek Park is iavorite
ground. 1t is equally popular with
motorists. who drive through In the
evening to get relief from the sum
mer heat.
II am very proud Of Washington's
parks" said Colonel Sheriff.. Il
would like to remind Washingtonians
agsin TO leave the park clean after
their visits and pick up their papers.
MALICIOUS MUTILATION.
II have been much distressed at the
deliberate and malicious mutilatioT
OF park property Down in Roak
Creek Park some visitors even took
the stone benches and tables aaf
dumped them In the creek. II took
two horses to pull them ont again. ]
will appreciate il II the public will
cooperate with us and keep the parks

Yes" said Col. Sheriff.. musingIN.
there is great conglomeration OF
humanity to be found In the parks.
