to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such
manner and by such means as will leave them
unimpared for the enjoyment of future genera
tions"
There will be more national parks. The policy
of the national park service, set forth in 1913
by the late Franklin b. Lane then secretary Of the
Interior is that the national parks Of the future
should be justified by scenery of supreme and dis
tnctive quality some natural feature so ex-
traordnayy or unique as to be of national interest
and Importance. The national park system now
constituted should not be lowered in standard,
dignity and prestige by the inclusion of areas
which express in less than the highest terms the
particular class or kind of exhibit which they rep
resent"
Tie national park movement is now nation
wide There is an army of enthusiasts. These
enthusiasts are preaching that the mission Of the
national parks is manifold; that general use Of
them by the people will bring physical, mental,
mQga and financial benefits.
This natonalpark transcontinental tourist traf-
fic by private ear is getting to be big thing, with
tremendous possibilities in dollars. The Scenic
West was literally full of motorists this summer
on vacation trips ranging from two weeks to the
whole season All sorts of estimates have been
made of what this means financially to the country
10 have this money spent at home instead OF in
sightseeing abroad, It is purely guesswork to esti-
national parks this summer paid out in money. An
arbitrary minimum estimate of 500 each gives a
total of S1OOOOO0OO
Tie national park enthusiasts have formed, an
organization Of their own-the National Parks as
ISOLATION. It was formed by unofficial friends OF
the national parks to enter field OF the move
ment which the federal government apparently
does not intend to occupy. The present policy OF
congcss-if II has any national park policy-is
merely to provide for the protection, maintenance
and development Of the parks leaving 1t TO the
people To determine the use they shall make OF
thea The association is an organization of the
people themselves TO enable them to use effectively
these public Fairgrounds. At present the enjoy
ment Of the American people of It's national parks
IS largely emotional Among its many other ac-
tlvltles the association purposes campaign of
education to double the enjoyment OF the people
by adding understanding. II says In effect to the
American people
"Our national parks are natures great laborh-
tories and museums They are not merely won
ders and scenery They exhibits on mighty
scale of the processes by which nature has been
and Is mailing America. You may double your
pleasure IN these exhibits by compromising their
meaning through intelligent study. Let us See
America first But let us also know America
Let MS know its natural history as wen ms its
national history Let us differentate, distinguish
and appreciate Then we shall really know. Then
we SHAH rHlly enjoy"

WILL ATTEMPT To
END CHILD LABOR
SENATOR MCCORMICK OF ILL
NoIs TO OFFER AMENDMENT
TO CONSTITUTION.
BELIEVES THIS THE ONLY WAY
Proposed Change In the Countrys

ported by Many organzatIons--
president Thinks States Should ACT.
BY JAMES P. HoRNAuAY

WasnugtOn.--AnOt attempt 50 10
amend the Constitution of the United
States as to prevent child labor IL to
be made, 1t seems regardless OF what
The states through their legislatures
may do on the subject. Senator Medlll
Mccormick OF Illinois is the author OF
the new proposal. He is acting at the
instance of the Permanent Conference
for the Abolition of Child LABOR
After several recent sessions this
conference, which brought together
representatives Of the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor, womens clubs, church
organizations, the League of Women
Voters and other organizations, drew
a constitutional amendment which was
presented to Mr.. Mccormick.
At a conference between Senator
Mccormick ana Samuel Gompers,
president, and Frank Morrison, secre-
tary, Of the American Federation OF
Labor, who represented the conference
committee, Senator Mccormick agreed
to press the proposed legislation.
"The child labor situation" said
Senator Mccormick, "can be met only
by constitutional amendment, and |
will offer the amendment
Amendment to the Constitution is
proposed following two decisions of
the Supreme court invalidating child
labor laws passed by congress. The
first law declared void was one bar
ring products Of child labor from I'M
terstate commerce. The second placed
a prohibitory tax upon, persons EN-
ploying child labor. The Supreme
court said both laws were unconsti-
tutional and an invasion of the rights
of the states. Advocates of child la.
Dor then turned to an amendment to
the Constitution to make possible a
law that would stand the test in the
courts.

These Support II.

NOAl lSs
These Support It,
Organizations indorslng the pro-
posed child labor amendment to the
Constitution were said by Senator Nc
Cormick and the conference commit
tee to include the following;
General Federation of Women's
Clubs, National Congress Of Mothers
and Parent Teachers Associations
National Council of Catholic Women,
National Women's Trade Union
league, American Association Of uni
versity Women, National Council Of
Women, Young Women's Christian
association, Federal Council of the
Church of Christ, national child la
Dor committee, Public Education and
Labor Associations of Pennsylvania,
social action department National
Catholic Welfare council, National
Consumers league, National League
Of Women Voters.
The committee named to represent
the so-called permanent conference
for the abolition of child labor includ-
ed President Gompers and Secretary
Morrison Of the American Federation
of Labor; Mrs. Thomas G. Winter,
president of the General Federation
of Women's Clubs; William Green,
secretary Of the United Mine Work
ers; Miss Grace Abbot, chief Of the
children's bureau, Representative
John l. Nolan, William II. Johnson,
president of the International Asso-
citation of Machinists, and others rep
rescnting labor, civic or reform or
CARNATIONS.
The Proposed Amendment.
AS approved by the child labor con-
ference, the proposed constitutional
amendment which Senator Mccormick
will offer, reads
1.-THE congress shall have power to
limit or prohibit the labor of persons
under eighteen years Of age, and pow
or is also reserved 70 the several
states to limit or prohibit such labor
in any way which does not lessen any
limitation Of such labor or the eX-
tent Of any prohibition thereof by
congress. The power vested in the
congress by this article shall be adj
ditional to and not limitation on the
powC elsewhere vested in the con-
gress by the Constitution with respect
to such labor"
The Mccormick resolution Is not
( likely to have the support Of Presi-
dent Harding. This does not mean
that the President is not in favor Of
regulating child labor but it does
mean that he believes the states rath-
er than the federal government should
undertake this task. 1t will therefore
be the policy of the administration, so
/ Il is announced, TO look TO state leg
| islatures to enact adequate child la
Dor legislation where they have not
already done so. Since nearly all the
| legislatures meet next January and
February the administration feels
| that II would be the part Of wisdom
for congress to delay action on the
proposed constitutional amendment
If the legislatures should come and
20 without meeting the situation in
a proper way 1t will be time enough
in the Judgment of the admlnistra-
ton, for congress to take up the ques-
ton Of another amendment to the
| Constitution.

Captain Scott, was fighting his way

after the cables flashed the news of
Scott's disaster, an Evening Post re-

Shackleton was the one man in New
York who knew Scott well, and his
voice broke when he heard the news.
