Praises Park System

To the Editor Of the Euenin0 Public Ledoert
Sir-A kind providence decreed that
fifteen years ago l should be influenced
TO make my home in Philadelphia, and
uron nv arrival l found a magnificent
city, splendidly organized with attract
i've dwellings well-paved streets and the
most beautiful park In all the world,
artisticully laid out and scrupulously
maintained, and ns free for Inc to enjoy
as the air we breathe. all prepared for
my benefit by my predecessors; and in
appreciation of the manifold comforts
and pleasures, that others have provided
for me, have long wished that | might
some day be enabled in some way to
contribute to the happiness and we'll
being of my contemporaries. and the
generations that will be here when
am no more.
But unfortunately my individual fee
be efforts so far, | am certain, have ac-
compished little. and promise less.
Though individually impotent. might
there not be possibility Of my at least
attempting. If only partially to repay
the debt ! owe sOcicy. past and pres
cnt, by in some way cooperating with
my fellow -citizrns in the conSumnation
Of some real, beneficial. civic enterprise,
that would do for posterity, what my
predecessors have done for ne?
There surely must be. With all the
manifold needs. there is undoubtedly
something that might do.
But what shall it be? Which of all
the many civic institutions that we en-
ioy today have been. and will continue
TO be the most beneficial to the race?
What others might think I cannot
say. To me there can be but one an
swpr, Our great! grand magnificent |,
Dublic mark system. That which has
ever been to me an inspiration and n
ioy. 4 shrine, if you please, whereat
might nay homage to the beneficrnce of
nv Creator. 4 splendid feast for the
soul an inspiration for the mind and n
tonic for the body. An inexhaustiblc
fountain for all mankind for all time to
come. Not yet complete: here then is
nv Opportunity for social service.
The splendid Parkway plans, impcr-
otively involving the Identification Of
the Schuylkill adjacent to our magniti-
cent Art Gallery must be preceded by
rho condemnation Of the land thereon,
and the compensation of the present
owners thereof than which | can think
of a no more worthy project.
And with faith in the civic pride of
nv fellow citizens, willingly cOnceding
TO them rs ardent patriotism aS l pos
sess, | want TO ask them to permit me
tho incstimablc privilege of contributing
with them to n voluntary public fund
for this purpose. .,,.
II viii only require Il few mi lion
dollars and Il small contribution from
MI of us that are able to contribute
but little, supplemented by larger con-
tributions. from those more fortunately
endowed, will speedily achieve the COM
nlction of our superb Parkway.

small radio-telegraph sets, are having
q great deal of fun nowadays In car
rying on contests and tournaments
through the air. Folks who are listen

"1t's your move, John. l just

"If>we did hear a conversation like
this, we should at once know that q
game Of checkers was being played.
Checkers is only one of the many
games that lends itself to radio. Play
ing radio checkers is just as easy and
almost as fast as playing the game in
the ordinary manner. In fact. it is
more exciting than the usual game,
because we are always playing an IT,

have the application acted upon as
quickly as possible as we have good
reason for wanting to get busy and
get the post organized into a going

honorable discharge to prove it. "The
officer was Dr.. Il. G. Feyler, now Of
S2 Gay street, Portsmouth, o. He
asked me to come to see him when I
got out of the army. He is in private
practice now. So when my enlistment
expired in San Francisco, i got on q
train and went to Portsmouth. The
officer said he would like to have mo
work for him. He treated me very
coed and had a pleasant visit with
him. but got homesick. The army Is
the only home l know. am men,
ber of the American Legion, Schofield

heard lot about Legion headquar-
ters In indianapolis. SO I thought !
would like to see them.'
Kook was shown about the offices
at Legion headquarters and the vari-
GUS phases of the work explained to
him. Then this little brown man, now
an American citizen, who first entered
military service in the National Guard
at Hawaii in August, 1917, and con-
tinued the service through the ma
tional army and the regulars until
May 26, 1922, departed for Fort Ben
