COMPLIMENTING A CONTRIB.

"Those BLADEN cartoons in
H and S have been side-split-
ters," writes WADE WELLER,
and other contribs join in COM
pliments to this artist.
The column welcomes new
artists as it does new contribu-
tors of prose or poem, and
BLADEN is among the new
ones. Expert newspaper critics
praise H and S for its variety
Of wit, humor and other good
things, especially praising the
drawings. H and S, for in
stance, is the only column in
the country that prints con-
tributed drawings.
So often the editor receives
an inquiry, May contribute
to your grand old column" We
again repeat that the. column is
wide open to bright stuff from
anybody and anywhere. 1t is
truly a peoples column. It's
daily contents are largely the
work of brilliant girls and boys,
men and women who spend some
of their leisure moments writing
or drawing for it.
Therefore H and S is OPEN
TO YOU!

MERIDIAN PARK
Col. c. o. Sheriff. Points Out
Need of Money to Continue
Improvements.

Meridian Hill Park will occupy
a place among the Capitals most
beautiful parks IL Congress makes
possible the program OF develop
ment which has been worked out
by Col. c. o. Sheriff., head OF the
Department OF Public Buildings and
Grounds.
Lack OF appropriation has vir-
tually meant a cessation of work
at the park and an appropriation
of S275.000 is now being asked for
continuance of improvements there.
This sum, Colonel Sheriff. states,
Is the most important item in the
1923-24 estimate and will be used
to complete the upper end Of the
park and made additions to the re-
tanning walls at the lower end.
When his department was asked
by the Budget Bureau to hold esti.
mates down to the current ap-
preparations. Colonel Sheriff. was
greatly concerned over half a dozen
important unfinished projects for
which appropriations would be
needed. Last years appropriations
barely covered maintenance.
An appropriation of 100000 IL
being asked for completion Of work
on the Lincoln Memorial. Little,
IL any, objection is looked for as
TO this item.
Colonel Sheriff. is trying to work
out some plan by which 70 secure
an appropriation OF 100000 for
completion OF the field house at the
Potomac golf course. Two wings
Of the house are now in use. The
connecting or central building will
be a club house for patrons Of ten
mis-. golf. baseball, canoeing horse.
back riding, and hiking.
Last years estimates carried
100000 for the completion Of the
field house, but II was eliminated
by the Budget Bureau.
Several projects are now being car
ried out under the direction of Colo
lel Sheriff..
The new nine-hole golf course in
East Potomac Park Is nearing com
