LETTER FROM MRS. JOSEPH
GRAVES HAMILTON TO LESLIE
PRESCOTT
MY DEAR DAUGHTER:

MY DEAR DAUGHTER:
1 can't understand why we have
not received a letter from you lately.
Your father said the other day with
queer little smile that he expected
he would have to be dangerously Ill
again Il he wanted to hear from you
with any regularity. You were so
faithful while he was i'll that I ex-
pect you got him into the bad habit
Of expecting a daily letter.
OF course, fdear, l know how it is
because 1t is very human when we
know our friends and relatives are
perfectly well and happy to neglect
them little while pursuing our own
health and happiness.
Sailing for London
You may be surprised to learn that
your father and 1 are going to Lon
don on the Mauretania, which sails
on the tenth. 1 hope you will come
down to see us off,
Your father is stiIl far from well
and 1 have persuaded him to give up
all thought of business. Besides. we
are perhaps foolishly anxious to see
our daughter in her presentation
robes. I think they must be very
wonderful because she has been
spending a very great deal of money.
In any Of her letters to you, Leslie,
has Alice intimated in any way that
Karl is in love with her? Although
she has said nothing to me on the
subject I have someway got that
impression. OF course. I would be
very happy If this thing should hap
pen, for think Alice has always had
q great admiration and respect for
Karl. OF course, we all knew that
Karl was hopelessly in love with you
and II he had recovered and fallen fl.
love with Alice. am sure both your
father and I would be delighted as
we are both very fond Of him.
She has been talking a great deal
lately in my letters about a young
and I'd like to go over
and see for myself what chances
Karl has with her. You know, Les
he.( that Alice is very headstrong
about her own affairs. have al
ways felt. dear. that she was little

 United States acquired by condemna- ton and purchased with public moIfey for the sole purpose of preserving na- tural scenery; a proceeding which was thereby accounted a legal use of public funds.
 Hartford has n park which is an early example of the best sort of civic publicity and also established a park precedent. Search your memory and see whether you have not forgotten most of the statistics and slogans which greet you upon huge signbords placed along the railway tracks by trade bodies of many enterprising cities. But nobody who has entered Hartford by train. in daylight, is like ly to forget the sylvan beauty of Bushnell Park. which adjoins the sta ton with the tree-shaded Connecticut Capitol building set on its central hill.
 Horace Bushnell worked for five years to persuade his neighbors to tax themselves to buy this tract. Thus Bushnell Park is a monument mark ing the first time in history when the people bought tract with their own money to be used as public park.
 A Reversal of Purpose.
 Exactly opposite to the days when feudal barons used park to keep the public out is the era when the essen- tial element of park is that tKing Auto and Sovereign Pedestrian must have easy access.

 New York, with 40 reservations, nearly 2,Oo0.0o0 acres, heads the list of states in the extent of her park system. Ten million peo- ple, it is estimated. can reach the Palisades Interstate park in a two- hour ride by auto or boat.
 Nowhere are parks longer regard d as luxuries; but in New York state hey are an additional necessity be- ause they protect the vitally import mt watersheds in the north of the tate. Upon this protection depends he great industrial enterprises which lse hydro electric power.

Careless Shampooing
 Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair look ing its best. Many soaps and pre- pared shampoos contain too much free alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and ruins 1t.
 The best thing for steady use is Mulsifed cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and greaseless), and Is better than anything else you can use
 Two or three tcaspoonfuis of Null sified in cup or glass with a little warm water is sufficient to clease the hair and scalp thoroughly, Simply moisten the hair with water and rub the Mulsified in. It makes an@abund- ance of rich creamy father, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust. dirt. dandruff and excess oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly. and 1t leaves the scalp soft. and the hair fine and silky. bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at any pharmacy. it is very cheap, and a few odnces will supply every member of the family for months Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsifed.

Their cases were continued to We'd nesday morning. Yesterday morning a detail of police under Detective Mccue went to the Wisk block and paid unexpected visits to the three tenants. Drunks were found in all tenements and quantities of moon- shine liquor were taken.

NUMBER OF STATE
 PARKS INCREASES
Have Gained Much Favor Among
 States in Last Few Years

Washington. D. C.. March 5.-wha Is a state park?
 announcement that the third an Nnual conference of state parks will b held at Turkey Run State park, Tn diana. May z. 8 and 9, gives rise |, the question.
 You will search most referenc books in vain for any informatio, about state parks. an important fac that every thinking American citize, should know" says a bulletin iron the National Geographic society though there you will find ampl. mention of national parks and cit, parks.
 Fiye-Foot Park Shelves
 state parks are pocket editions oi our great national park system.
 They arc the stop-over places of the motorist.
 They perch on barren peaks and preserve tree-bowered lovers lanes beside running brooks.
 They take in such shrines as Lin coins birthplace and James Whit comb Riley's old swimmin' hole.'
 They perpetuate far older history than that to be found in history text books Starved Rock park, Illinois, commemorates the time when Amer- tca's inland was sea when the cos- mic happenings of millions of years ago deposited the shells and precipi- tated the lime which formed the magnesium limestone layer of this region.
 Prairie Land to Fairyland''
 Iowa invited it's citizens to an hours auto ride from prairie land to fairyland.'
 Tn Wisconsin you can rent an is- land for ten dollars year.
 State parks save the open play spaces amid dense populations of the east and they keep out encroaching farm lands of the middle west.
 Rip Van Wrinkle sought surcease in skittles from a shrewish spouse. but the city man today, married by a hundred worries, can take wife and children for 48-hours' rest to the hills where Rip retreated.
 If this sounds like rhapsody that's what state parks still afford to lOulluC-IIQuSH Clty uWellerS.
 Our own parks bear evidence of our new governmental ideal. Origin ally park. says Noah Webster, was 'an inclosed piece of ground stocked with beasts of the chase. held by pre- scription or the kings grant
 Today a park might be defined as 'an uninclosed piece of ground stock ed with beasts, not to be chased, or killed, held by prescription of the people for their own use.'
 Many New Editions Nobody knows exactly how many state parks there are in 1923. Two i years ago survey by the National Park service showed that 26 states i had state parks. The movement has taken such a hold within the last few | years that the park areas within these ] states has expanded materially and | other states have embarked upon i park programs. "Niagara Falls is nationally known | IS scenery, and also as controversy, l put, in the history of the park move
