The director of the national park service. in his annual report rec ommended the selection of a site for a new national park in the East. and the secretary of the fn- terior heartily indorses the sug- gestion- ,t-
 Dr. Work, however. makes the point that before selection IS made, careful study be given the situation. He admits that there are many available sites.
 . Looking to the same end, sev- eral bills have already been intro duced. Senator Swanson of Vir- Rinia has a measure providing for the dedication of 5000 acres. fn- ciuding the summit of High Knob- Mountain, Virginia, to be known as the Appalachian National Park. A house bill provides for the crea- tion of a park of not less than 15.ooe acres on and including the summit of High Pinnacle Mountain and Cumberland Gap. In Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. to be known as the Lincoln National Park. A bill has also been intro- duced authorizing the secretary of the interior to acquire by pur- chase or otherwise the title to the tract containing Mammoth Cave, to be known as the Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky.
 There will be other bills. It is known that North }nd South Car olina will present . claim or claims. Northern Georgia already has one great park. but will prob ably have other suggestions to make. s$ 7,
 Consideration has already been given to the feasibility of. crsat- ing . park embracing some of the picturesque scenery of North Ala bama with stretches of the Ten nessee river embracing sections of famous Muscle Shoals.
 The Wilson Dam will be the most wonderful structure of it's nature in the world. but some question has been raised as to whether or not 1t could bs in- cluded in . park and. dedicated at the same time to industry.
 Secretary Work says: '-The ex- isting national park system Is the finest in the world In making any additions. sites should be chosen that will be in every re- spect up to the dignity. prestige and standard of existing national parks and monuments. A thorough study. therefore. will be necessary before any definite conclusion can be reached"

 The tall, long haired youth nerv- ously entered the publishers of- flee, carrying under his arm a small roll of paper. Good after noon, sir!" said the publisher. Take 8 seat and tell me what I can do for you" -( '.. The youth looked nervous. ''Well-er-I have a song here" he began, "that I have composed, and was wondering if you would publish 1t. Er-shall I sing it?" "Oh, yes; let's hear it" said the publisher; and the youth stood up and burst forth with his effusion. When the song was finished, the publisher sat very still and said nothing.
 Well" the young man asked impatiently. what do I get for it?"
 "Oh." replied the publisher. with an air of resignation, I'm a pub fisher, not a magistrate"

 The tallest smokestack in the world is said to be in Western Montana. where it has been erect ed of specially made brick by a copper company to carry off smoke and gases It is thirty feet higher than the Washington mon- ument and it's diameter is so great that the great stone shaft could be placed inside of 1t. It Is it. self a monument to American imagination, enterprise and skill. Its height is so great that the sur rounding country does not suffer from the fumes it emits: no doubt its emanations descend somewhere, but they are so scattered as to leave no noxious trace.

Roads and Markets


 Anniston's business inte3eBtz cannot afford to permit things to continue as they are. Means must be devised whereby a campaign Of road improvement will be inalga- rated without delay, and snce started, the work should be pnshea until every noad leading to Anhis- ton is put into good travel cnnni- tion. Unless this is done AnniSton will suffer in a business way and Calhoun people and the peopla of neighboring counties will be ae- prived of the opportunity to cnme to Anniston when they wish. Cat- ting off a logical market cannot help being harmful to people who would use the market and diERs- trous to the market itself.

Value of Shade Tre9D (Dothan EawA6D


 Almost every farm home in thAs section should have an acre or two of woodland about the house, allowing the native trees to groW, and then plant out other varieties here and there to make a beautiful grove. Nothing adds more to the beauty and comfort of a home. We don't give the attention we should to shade about the home which attracts the songbird. the katydid, the June bugs and cooas the summer air. In time every highway in this Southland will be hedged by shade trees, for in time we will find that they will make the roads more comfortable and that the trees along the road win protect them from inundation.

Deprived of Their EsisAs

IMOulBOfn6ty IImeSD
 The politicians are puzzled over the Alabama assinine presidential primary law; and really there is being some discussion as to what the law does mean. The only thing we know about it is that thu peo- pie were deprived of their izhlien- able right to vote for delegaaes to represent them in the national convention, a confiscation of their right and privilege and a paver- sion of the very intent and pur- pose of the voting privilegA-to give the electorate the pri1le8e of voting for its choice for pnblac office.

 May be stored along the line; Here's g year all full of days, Each with chances we may claim. And with fresh untrodden ways, Some of which may lead to fame. Here another year rolls in
 From the future, vague and vast. Toss away what might have been. Turn from sorrows that are pasti No red spiotch is on the year
 That is offered for our use; All it's months and weeks are clear. With no records of abuse. Here's a year that still is clean. War has not besmirched 1t yst; Back along the fading scene
 Lie all causes of regret; In the year that's new and fair
 wrongs will not be stTewn about It we do not drag them there
 From the year that passes out ShaA we carry spite along
 As we pass the open gatef Shall we battle, weak or strong.
 Urged by bigotry and hate? Gaze upon the splendid view Graced by every hopeful sign; Here's year that's bright and new Offered for your use and mine.

Too Many Freak Laws

NAdi4Oa OOuuLy N6WBy
 We are told that eight laws passed by the legislature were before the supreme court to test their constitutionality and all eight were decided uncongtitu- tional. We hope this is an error. But the fact. remains that our law-making bodies-state and na- tional-too often fail to consider the interests of their constituents. There are too many freak laws. In fact. we have too many laws anyhow. A few sensible laws well enforced would be conducive Co better citizenship. Not every after dinner spellbinder is a good law maker.
