~unimpaired for the enjoyment of future genera
tons"
1here Will be more national parks. The policy
OF the national park service, as set forth in 1918
by the late Franklin Is. Lane, then secretary Of the
interior, is that the national parks of the future
should be justified by scenery of supreme and dis
tlnctive quality or some natural feature so ex-
traordlnary or unique as to be Of national interest
and importance. The national park system as 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"
The 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,
moral and financial benefits.
This nationals park transcontinental tourist tref
fc by private car is getting to be a 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
to have this money spent at home instead OF in
sightseeing abroad. 1t is purely ~guesSwOrk to esti-
mate what the million and more visitors to the
national parks this summer paid out in money. An
arbitrary minimum estimate OF 500 each gives q
total Of 100000
Tie national park enthusiasts have formed an
organization Of their own-the National Parks as.
ISOLATION. 1t was formed by unofficial friends OF
the national parks to enter 81 field Of the move
ment which the federal government apparently
does not intend TO occupy. The present policy of
congress-if it has any national park poli@1-is
merely to provide for the protection, maintenance
and development Of the parks, leaving it to the
people to determine the use they shall make OF
them. 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 its national parks
Is largely emotional. Among It's many other nc.
tivities the association purposes a campaign OF
education to double the enjoyment Of the people
by adding understanding. 1t says in effect to the
American people:
Our national parks are natures great labora.
tories and museums. They are not merely won.
ders and scenery. They are exhibits on a mighty
scale of the processes by which nature has been
and is making 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 us know its natural history as well as its
national history. Let us differentiate, distinguish
and appreciate. Then we shall really know. Then
we shall really enjoy

well, we'll. just leave it to the
newspaper, is statement often
heard and seldom is there a day
that every newspaper in the
country does not receive from
one to a dozen requests for in
formation from residents OF the
city in which it is published and
as often as, not from outsiders.
1t remained for the, Paducah Ev-
ening Sun. to receive possibly
the most novel request recently,
however.
The Sun, like most neWspa-
pers. has number of real base
ball fans in its employ. One of
the teams Of the Kitty League

GLIDING towns in Kentucky. Iii
rois and Tennessee, suffered the
loss Of one of its important play
ers. There was no one to take
his place. The manager called
the Sun and asked for the loan
OF a player from its composing
room. The request was granted.
The newspaper is generally be-
lieved to have men on its staff
who can answer any question. 4
And often questions are asked =
that require hours OF research to
answer. In other instances sub
scribers make requests for doc
tors, good lawyers and things
TOO numerous to mention, many
Of them apparently forgotten.
Recently tie Paducah Evening
Sun received letter from Chi
cago publishing, house which is
preparing a sketch of the old
Planters Protective Association,
asking whether the late United
States Senator Ollie James led a
night rider parade in Paducah in
1907. The writer said he was
under the impression that thu !
most famous demonstration d J
that period was the Hopkinsvill :
raid, but that somebody recent1
had told him there had been
parade led by Senator James i
Paducah. Of this the Sun in
published article said:
Senator James did not lead 4

ducah or anywhere else. PaduAk
cab had no demonstration. of any
character. The authorities inI
this city and county Immediately
after the outbreaks at Hopkins
vile and Princeton, took precauI
tons, to see that there was nont
in Paducah.
''On the other hand, the snti-
inent in Paducah was strongly
against the night riders. Bust

the press took a firm stand
against the course the growers

tried to ride with popular current
but he had no sympathy with
defiance of the law. He did,
however, severely condemn prac-
tees that irritated the tobacco

beat out his brains.
The boy escaped but was re-
captured and tried for murder.
His youth kept him from getting
a more severe punishment than
a long prison term.
At the Frankfort reformatory
Guess attempted to escape no
less than six times. Once he
got outside the walls. The fact
that he was locked into sOli-

trying to escape. Once he was
caught when he had almost

had cut locks or bars in other

other prisoners made their way

Finally Guess, with the aid of
another prisoner, feigned illness.
He was taken to the hospital for
observation. On a bed near by
was a tubercular prisoner. Guess
would exchange sputum cups
with this prisoner and for a time

young prisoner had tuberculosis.

HOLLYWOOD-not Paris-is the
fashion center Of the world!
That the capital Of the motion pic
ture industry rather than the capital
Of France dictates milaoy's fashions
is the claim made by Glare West,
screen style creator and designer of
Cecil B. De Mile production fashions.
1.-THE motion picture speaks to a
daily audience Of 100000 people, of
which number approximately half are
women" says Miss West. Every
woman in this huge group Is intensely
interested in fashions. The. pictures
bring before her an actual visualize
ton of the truly beautiful and ultra
fashionable clothes worn. How can
Paris hope to compete with this ever
present and all-powerful fashion
rival?
IF screen fashions fell behind in
the march of fashion progress, Paris
and the continent might retain It's
past position. But screen fashions do
not fall behind. They are newer than
the newest because the screen de-
signers create rather than copy.
I'VE are making pictures today that
the public will not see for six months
or a year. Think what that means to
the designer of feminine apparel.
Every gown, cloak, neglige and frock
must be designed today and yet must
be in advance Of the fashion a year
from now.

as Sydney, Australia: Halifax, Nova

The national board concerns itself
also, as a public servant, with many
