National Park Prospects
Prove Gratifying to East

The constant increase in the num-
Der of tourists who spend their va
cations getting acquainted with the
natural beauties of the United States
enhances interest in the prospect that
two wonderful areas in the southern
Appalachian Mountains soon may be
added to the list of the country's ma
tional parks.
OF the need of these parks in the
East there can be no doubt, for, as
the New York Herald Tribune points
out, excepting Lafayette Park, the
little gem on Mount Desert, in Maine,
all the national parks are in the
West" Observing that the East
might resign itself to this unequal
division if there were no extensive
tracts this side of the Mississippi of
scenic attraction" sufficiently out
standing to make them eligible for Sc
lection as national parks, the Herald
Tribune calls attention 10 the Great
Smokes tract in the Great Smoky
Mountains of Tennessee and North
Carolina, and the Shenandoah tract
on the crest Of the Blue Ridge of
Virginia saying of the former: 1T
is a beautiful wilderness and resort
Of wild life, a true mountain fastness.
whose peaks tower higher than Mount
Washington; it is rich in streams and
cataraCts in cliffs and gorgeS," and
of the latter, only a three-hour ride
from Washington, it commands a
view of backgrounds of the Civil
Var and of the birthplaCes Of eight
/ Presidents of the United States, yet
ii contains primeVal forests of spruce,
hemlock and balsam and all the Ap-
palachian beauties in the highest de-
gree unmarried thus far"

But there is something that Vir
ginia and Tennessee and North Caro-
lima must do before Congress will au-
thorize the establishment Of these
two national parks, remarks the
Bristol Herald Courier; they must
buy the park areas and present them
to the Government, since the Govern
ment will spend no money for the
purchase of land for park purposes.
There should be no question that the
campaigns to raise the park funds
will succeed" That this prophecy is
true seems to be borne out by the
recent information personally carried
| to Secretary Of the Interior Work by
Gov. Harry F. Byrd of Virginia, that
| his State had raised $1,000 900 for
| the purchase of acreage in the pro-
posed Shenandoah National Park, -
according to the Lynchburg Daily Ad-
vance, which declares that the next
step toward making the park q
reality is to secure the full $500, 900
which is necessary to purchase all
of the acreage in the park area" The
Advance suggests that much of this
| balance will "be raised in other sec
tions of the East, for the park Is not
| solely a Virginia project, but is a
park for the benefit of every State
east of the Mississippi River"
In regard to the proposed Smoky
Mountain Park, the Charlotte OBJ

the wonderful scenic beauties of that
region and the benefit to the State

@. Why does a bump follow knock
on the head instead Of a dent?-E. j.
A. When a person bumps his head
the soft tissues covering the bone are
elastic and are stretched like rubber.
While at the time of the bump there
is dent, the tissues straighten out
again, but some Of these Oh the side
Of the bump are injured and some
even killed. Natures way to cure the
place where the injury occurred Is to
fill it with blood. The little white
cells of the blood take up and carry
away the dead tissues and fill this
place with blood, which causes the
swelling.
O. Is it true that some flowers at
tract bees by their color?-F. p.
A. The supposition is that bees are
attracted to flowers primarily by thelr
odor, but the color does have a GER
tain attraction. Blue, for instance,
will attract bees most readily.
@. Where will Old Ironsides go on
it's next trip?-C. b. II.
A. The Navy Department says that

not ready as yet to make the trip.
The collection taken up to recondltion
the vessel has not reached the amount
required.
@. How much does It cost the Gov
ernment to deport an alien?-V. b.
A. The average per capita cost In
deporting aliens Is $80.55. The pend

item of $500, 900 for deportatiOns, and

Q. When was the sweet pea first

A. The sweet pea is a native OF the
toned in 1895, by an italian monk
who sent seeds to England and Hol-
land. The seeds of sweet peas became
an article Of commerce as early as
1924 Sweet peas have been grown
for more than a century in America
and all OF the varieties known in Eu-
rope We're grown here. There was a
wave Of popularity for the sweet pea
in America between 1885 and 1900
while the tide, which received its great
impetus through the introduction Of

To Win Europe's Love.

A few weeks hence the tide OF
| American tourist travel to Europe
will have begun in earnest, with in
dications that it will exceed the tides
| of all other years. 1t IS only a guess
as to how much money Americans
will spend in England and on the
Continent during the coming Summer,
| but there is no reason TO doubt that
| it will be several times over the sums
European governments Will be caileu
upon to pay this Government thlS
wear under the terms of debt settle
ments so far concluded.
The American dollars to be trans
ported eastward across the Atlantlc
will be accorded an eager welcome
wherever they find lodgment. The
American owners of those dollars, we
are told, are going to meet with
chilly reception. 1t is probable they
will be accorded superficial politeness
while they are spending their dollars,
but there is widespread testimony
that resentment against and dlslke
of Americans is increasing month py
month and has become or is rapidly
becoming a chronic state Of MIND.
An article written in Paris by Frank
II. Simonds and published last sun
dav in The Star dealt at length with
this situation, which Mr.. Simonds be-
lieves is one TO cause American states
men grave concern.
Mr. Simonds and other competent
American observers are agreed that
something ought to be done TO win
back the esteem which we are sup
posed to have had at the time we
went to Europe's rescue in the great
war Certainly. we would like TO have
Europe like us, and an analysis of
the bill of grievances which Europe
holds against us suggests some of the
things we might DO to regain the
Old Worlds affections. In the order
Of seeming Importance, we might pro
ceed along these lines
Cancel the war debts.
2--Lower or wipe out our tariff, to
permit the flooding of our markets
with European goods.
3-Withdraw from foreign trade
competition and confine ourselves to
the American market, which we al
ready would have surrendered to Eu-
rope.
abandon our program of main
tanning an American merchant ma
rine.
Cease our efforts to protect our
selves against foreign price fixing of
raw materials at extortionate levels,
as in the case of rubber.
6-Join the League of Nations and
help keep the "mi!taristic" nations
| in check.
A No. on the list might be the
| unrestricted privilege of floating loans
in this country, regardless of debt
settlements, but is greatly to be feared
that with the preceding items of the
program carried out, the American
people would have no money to lend.
Having done these 7hings, we will
have gone a long way toward meet
ing the apparent European desire for
a common denominatOr of misery
and Europe may be able TO regain a
part at least of her former affection
for us. It is true that we will prob
ably have lost the respect of Europe
and earned her contempt, but what
are these things to be weighed against
the blurbs of joy that spring from
brotherly love?

Be Healthy
BY. J. w. Deeming, Physical
Director of the Douglas
Y. MI. C. A.
HAVE A PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
ON YOUR BIRTHDAY.

ON 4OOR
Is there a national need for period
ic examinations of the bodies. and
lives of people of this country? Not
so many years ago only a few people
would have answered this question in
THE affirmative. Even now the aver
age person has his doubts as to the
need of a health examination each
year.
A health examination shows one
what he must do to regain or main
tain health and by it's detection of
defects before grave damage has
been done, it preserves the life com-
fort of the Individual and becomes
an economic gain.
Health Standards.
A regrettable fact is that we are
prone to place our health standards
too low. Nowadays people seem to
think that if they are not confined
to bed that they are healthy. At
tacks of constipation, insomnia, wor-
ry, loss of appetite, indigestion, head
ache, ETC., are too readily accepted
as something that must happen every
so often.
How many people today feel in the
best of condition? Feel that they
are as healthy and strong as they
could possibly become? Not SO many
/ assure you. Play and exercise are
two things that we should never
hselve. They are the things we
should always have some time to
spend for each day for health's
sake.
The present need is for health ed
ucation propaganda for all people.
The public is ready to be educated
along health lines. Public opinion
is no longer indifferent to matters
of health and physical fitness. The
public wants to be told "how'' and
the logical persons to tell the pub
lie how to keep in good condition
are medical men and physical edu-
Gators.
The committee for Health Week
is putting forth its best efforts to
make Health Week worth while and
to give to the public such informa~
ton that will be practical. Infor-
NATION that people of our community
will find helpful in their endeavors
to make themselves healthy and
strong.
Get behind this committee and
boost it's activities during health
week and then put into practice
what things you learn. AS result
of this health week we should de-
eide to make it Health Year and
have a Health Year every year.

! Home folks who have played the
Scioto agree it is tough egg"
! Scioto normally has a yardage OF
about 5000 yards, not unusually long
! in these days of super courses, but
for the open it will if the committee
in charge desires to make it so,
stretch close to 1000 yards. 1t vir-
tually is certain the Scioto will be
the longest course in the history OF
the open tournament.
The new yardage is the result of
improvements on the course during
the last two years in anticipation If
the open. Every green has been re-
built and sodded with bent. Many
traps have been installed and fair
ways heightened or rebuilt to give
added yardage. This work was fin
ished last fall and the course now
gives every appearance of being
ready to offer visitors real test as
to condition and layout.
Scioto is comparatively innocent as
one gets a first view of it. A brook
meanders through the layout, cutting
through seven. of the rolling fair
ways. There also are plenty of
trees, though the course is anything
but a wooded one.

One In 500 Persons

RERLIN. April 6.-One of every

is estimated, is on the federal gov
ernment's payroll.
While Oaxes have increased 2SO
per cent since the war, despite the
fact that the country is virtually free

the collection of more than score
of federal taxes, alone employees 73,-
