TAMPA, Fla, Feb. 6.-Clarence
Thomas, q young left-hander OBJ
tanned last season from Nashville,
has made an excellent impression
upon Manager Harris, of the
Washington champions. Instead
of loafing until the last minute
before leaving for his spring
training, Thomas did some light
work, shed the few pounds gained
through the winter, and arrived
here almost at weight for his best
efforts.
"He's a sample of the earnest
fellow who really wants to make
good" says Manager Harris. he
doesn't handicap himself to. start

coming more and more numerous

NATIONAL PARKS

Bills have been introduced in both hous- es of Congress to create three new national parks-the Shenandoah national park Tn Virginia, the Great Smoky Mountain na- tional park in North Carolina and Tennes- see, and the Mammoth Cave national park in Kentucky. The bills provide that the United States shall not appropriate money for the purchase of any of these lands, but that they shall be obtained through public or private donation.
 There are now nineteen national parks established by congressional legislation. All but one of these national parks are function ing with service representatives on the ground. In 1925 more than 1,760,0OO people visited these parks, and more than 56S,OOO automobiles entered them. During 1925 the total revenue from these parks amount ed to more than S57O,9O0. The sources of revenue were automobiles, hotels, transpor- tation, stores, grazing and miscellaneous. Two parks brought in more than the amount appropriated by Congress, two matched It and one produced about one-half of the ap- propriation. These national parks com prise more than 100000 square miles.

The sporting element appealed strongly to Lieutenant Byrd in his flight to the Pole but he was also deeply interested in proving that the airplane could do the job. He want, ed to accom- plish the feat for the prestige of aircraft. He was firmly convinced that if he was successful in making flights from Spitzbergen to Peary Land and over the un- explored areas, much good would result from the consequent awakening of the pub lie to the vast possibilities of the airplane.
 Two worlds, the old and the new, watched intently the endeavor to blaze a trail between them, the trail which leads over the North Pole.

ROLAND HAYES RECITAL.

A writer Of some of the choicest of
American song literature was given
long delayed and conspicuous honor
in the program on one Of the finest
Of American artists on the concert
stage. when Roland Hayes. colored
tenor at the Washington Auditorium
last night, sang an entire group of
songs by Charles T. Critics. the Amer
lean composer, who died Of starva-
ton before reaching the age Of 80. A
large and representative audience
listened attentively to these beautiful
songs, eXquisitely sung, and applaud
ed with discriminate warmth. First
was Rose of the Night" based on
a beautiful legend; second, I'm a
Myrtle's Shade a tree song chat
easily rivals Joyce Kilmer's "Trees"
for beauty of lyric thought and seems
even better mated to it's musical set
ting; third was THE Lament of Ian
the Proud" a poignant elegy, and
last, Dreamy Lake" real poetic
fancy caught musically with the gos.
samer Of the Blue Butterfly's
Wing" in the song and leaving a
haunting memory.
AS encores to this group, the third
on the program. were Murmuring
Zephyrs," by Jensen, and Robinson's
dramatic arrangement of Water
Bow" The last mentioned has been
sung on many programs within the
last year or so, but never before has
the writer heard its deeper meaning
quite so emphasized; the gasp of suf-
fering thirst in the final sounding of
the phrase, water Boy" was mar
yelously conveyed by the singer.
Old italian had its usual place as
first on the program and Handel's
"Ah Spietato' was especially lovely,
but even it was eclipsed by the re-
markable presentation of Beethoven's
difficult Adelaide" sung in English.
The second group Of German
songs left lingering in the mind espe-
cially the prayer duality of Schu-
bert's Lied zines Schiffers an die
Dioskuren," the wistfulness OF
Brahms "Es Traumte Mir" the trag-
edy Of Hugo VOLTS "LebewolV' and,
above all, the charm Of Schumann's
Louisa at the Spring" the encore.
And last, sung with the naturalness
of the real artist, was the group of
fascinating negro spirituals. with. as
encore. "Standin' in the Need O.
Prayer" and that powerful Cruel
tixion," sung without accompaniment,
that makes a benediction to practi-
cally every Roland Hayes program,
and which the singer tactfully finishes
with a plea for no applause from the
audience.
Roland Hayes voice and excellence
in tonal control and diction are al
ready acclaimed by authorities all
over the world. However, the vivid
ness of his personality and his sense
of treating each tone as a beautiful
gem which he lays before his audi.
ence for enjoyment cannot be left
without mention. He Is an increas-
ingly fine artist, and his accompanist,
William Lawrence, Is also an artist.
