The mountain laurel or 'calico

our woods, has been so thinned that
its future seems hopeless. The plight
of dogwood was called to public no.

pillage Of the dogwoOd goes on in

lated in Summer and Autumn for it's

The small flowers, such as trailing
arbutus. has almost disappeared. and
200 other species Of our nearby wild
flowers are passing.
The opinion of the speaker before
the New York Botanical Society was
that the effective lines of defense of
the plants should be educational, leg
islative and cultural. School children
should be organized to save the flow
ers. Legislatures should penaliZe
flower destroyers, and the subject of

At a recent meeting OF the New

ing them with other varieties. 1t was
said that in a single area Of West
chester County thousands Of wild
azaleas. dogwoods. sweet pepper
bushes. blueberry bushes and many
ornamental trees and shrubs were de-
stroyed last Summer, and that today
the land is staked into lots and plant

red geraniums and scarlet sage.
Destruction Of native plants goes on
in the Potomac country and many
have become rare, If they can be
found at all, within the District.
Many persons do not give q thought
to the preservation Of our native
plants, and in stalking a new home
strike from the land all the native
forms and substitute those not native.
The wild azalea, of which Mr.. Durand
spoke, was common with us twenty
years ago, but is seldom seen now in
the District. and to find fine specimens

Community Recreation Parks.

A plan described in yesterdays Star
for the creation of a community park
on the Fort Reno site will be recon.
mended to Congress by the District
Commissioners. and. having already
received Endorsement by members of
Congress interested in the develop
ment OF the Capital, 1t would appear
TO nave good chance OF adoption at
this coming session. This project con-
templates the acquisition Of a large
tract OF land upon a point Of greatest
altitude I'm the District, where already
Il small reservation is occupied by a
reservoir. The cost Of the land to be
acquired is estimated at present at
$1,000 IL the project Is adopted
in principle. but not Immediately ap-
propriated for, the cost will in a few
years be materially increased 1t will
be economy, therefore, to accompany
approval of the plan, should it he
given, with provision for prompt
execution.
The point OF main interest in this
project. which is the fruit Of con.
sideration by the city planning board.
is that it is a type of community
reservations which should be created
in various parts Of the District to
serve separated sections. The features
of the center comprise an athletic
field, tennis courts. ba sc ball diamonds
and a public school, appropriately
placed within the reservation. 1t will
be in a way a glorified school play
ground, but for the use OF a greater
number than the immediate school
population.

ground in the making. II plans al

hood. There are several points at
which similar recreation centers and
community Fairgrounds should be es-
tablished. One of the reasons urged
for acquisition of the Patterson site in
the northeast, dor eIa ample. is that
that section OF the city lacks recrea-
ton facilities. The Fort Reno pIa n
may thus be considered the beginning z
of a general system Of community
recreation establishments for all ases
of people, a system which. when com.
pleted, will make Washington in truth
the best-served community in the
world in point Of practical, useful pub-
lie parks.

pleasant thought that college boys
will strive hard for honor on the foot
ball field with the idea in the back
OF their heads that they are merely
taking a course" in foot ball training
which will enable them to haul in the
dollars when they graduate. After all,
there is certain amount of interest
In watching contest which Is played
for sports sake and not for money,
even in this commercial age
The colleges themselves are not
without blame in this matter. With
the increase in popularity of college
foot ball, these institutions of learning
have permitted the managers of this
sport TO charge bigger and bigger
prices for tickets of admission, with
larger and larger stadiums and
bowls" until college foot ball has
taken on the aspect almost of COM
mercial enterprise, netting thousands
of dollars each year. Naturally these
big sums have caught the fancy of the
professional promoters. They are fol-
lowing suit. II they can persuade the
college stars to enter the professional
ranks the promoters see big money in
it for themselves. For the college is
the big field today for foot ball play
ers. There they are developed and
trained until they are acclaimed BY
millions Of people. There they obtain
the publicity, the advertising which
makes them valuable to the promoter
and only there. Little is printed about
the 'sa andlot" foot ball players.
The promoters who have fastened
on Red" Grange as their wagon to
material profit are thinking of the
dollars and cents and not of sport. 1t
is interesting TO note that of the
$4,000. which it is reported to have
been paid Grange for his first game in
Chicago, $4,000 went to his manager" !"
and many more thousands went to the
promoters of the game
Sport for sports sake is becoming,
1t must be admitted with perhaps
little grief, as rare as art for arts
sake. This is the age commercial.

memorable words:

This was the cry of n great soul
that had trfumphed over confusions
and difficulties and was compelled to
see in the Man of Nazareth the solu-
ton of its weightiest problems. Apart
from the peace and satisfaction that
come to the individual who, like Ten
nyson, has arrived at a definite and
reassuring religious conviction, there
is something in a common standard
of belief that contributes to a finer
fellowship and a better understand
ing among men of diverse minds and
temperaments. Nothing contributes
more to community happiness than
adherence to a common cause that in

have before them is to discover anew

christian Unity"

Ephesians Alb It'll we all come in
the unity of the faith, and of the
knowledge of the Son of God. unto
perfect man, unto the measure
of the stature of the fulnesS of
Christ"
Is there value in a corporate stand
ard or creed that, broadly speaking
represents our common belief? In our
corporate life as a people, experience
has proven the indispensabeness of
that which represents the standard
of belief for the Nation. In Il sense
our Constitution is our national creed.
Upon it we build our institutions.
BY 1t we govern and control our do
| mestic and foreign relations. With
out such standard we should speedily
grow chaotic and suffer dissolution.
The antitheSiS of order is chaos.
There are those in our national life
who disavow allegiance To orderly
government. but we do not regard
them as worthy members of the state.
More and more we are seeking today
for something that will constitute IA
| basis of unity and that may be so
comprehensive in its statement of
a common belief that 1t may prove
effective in bringing into closer fellow
ship men and women of every type
and class. With this in mind Presi-
dent Harding said, THE gospel of
understanding alone, will insure a
tranquil world"
There is a disposition in certain
places today to Disregard CreedS or
standards of faith. and to think of
them as unnecessary and useless. II
may be that no creed or standard of
fntt -
enough to be inclusive of all tvpes
of mind. 1t may be that no express
sion of religion thus far formulated
by any religious body is broad enough
to meet all demands and TO serve all
purposes. No one would undertake
to urge uniformity of practice in a
world of diverse temperaments. But.
Notwithstanding this, it does grow
more evident day by day that there
is a unity Of faith that grows out of
a knowledge Of the Son of God, that
issues ultimately in a fellowship, and
that contributes nightly to the hap
pfness and peace of men everywhere
To vast body of people Jesus and
His teachings constitute the ground
