Association Opens Campaign
for Preservation of Wild
Flowers in u. S.

The American Nature Association
with headquarters at 1918 Sixteenth
street, opened its campaign for preSer
vation of wild flowers. especially dog
wood. in radio address last night
over WCAP by T. s. Ridsdale. editor
of Nature Magazine. in his weekly
talk on Queer Quirks of Nature" F"
A similar talk will be sent out over
kMA. at Shena ndoah, Iowa, this week.
The campaign of the American
Nature Association here will be con-
Quoted simultaneously with that by
the Widflower Preservation Society.
which during the last two years has
been active in Washington and else
where in drives to preserve the dog
wood from extinction. The Garden
club of America has also co-operated
in the movement to preserve the
beauty of the countryside.
Mr.. Ridsdale in his radio talk last
night pleaded with the motoring thou
sands to let the wild flowers alone
for all to enjoy. While paying par
ticular attention to the dogwood. he
also urged protection for the trailing
arbutus once so famous in New Eng
land
Blossoms Soon Wilt.
1T borders on the criminal said
Ridsdale, Ito see autos loaded with
blooms stripped from dogwOod trees.
The dogwood soon willis and dies
even before the marauders can get
it home and into water, to say moth.
ing Of what happens to the tree.
Many States have laws against pick
ing wild flowers from roadside and
woodland without permission of the
owner of the land. Our wild flowers
are torn out by the roots and many
varieties are almost gone. Please look
and let alone, so that others may
look too.
In Maryland there is law that
| forbids the picking OF wild flowers
without permission of the owner of
the woodland Mr.. RidsGale told the
WCAP audience. "As an exam pie
of the way wild things are going,
there is the holly. Large shipments
are made from the Eastern Shore of
Maryland every year.
COlumbine Nearly Gone.
Whenever a State selects a State
| flower that generally means the end
of it, for thousands at once want to
pick : il. Columbine excursions in
Colorado have stripped sections of
that State of this beautiful flower.
please leave the dogwood for all.
The newspapers of the country con-
duct educational campaigns on this
every year, and on behalf of the
American Nature Association, want
to thank them. l hope the school
teachers will give this radio message
to their pupils and that the pupils
carry it home"
The American Nature Association
has for distribution a reprint of car
toons aimed at those who destroy the
beautiful things of nature.

Land For Parks In
Nineteen States

Washington, Sept 27-R A
chain of state parks to supplement
the national parks is the aim of the
National Conference on State Parks
Of which John Barton Payne is
president.
Such a system of public play
grounds is made possible under a
recent act of Congress permitting
the states to acquire unreserved pub
lie lands for this purpose.
Mostly In West
A survey made by the conference
shows that nineteen states have such
lands, the aggregate acreage being
1S5, 100000 lying mainly west of the
Mississippi River. Land is available,
however, for parks in three southern
states, Alabama, Florida and Louis
lana.
The Joint Committee on Recrea-
tional Survey of Federal Lands has
made study of specific tracts which
possess features of value for local
purposes. 1t has picked out thus far
IS units containing 100000 acres,
of which 80 units, embracing $780,
900 acres, have been withdrawn from
other disposal by the General Land
Office pending action by the state
concerned under the new law.
Proposed Sites
Many recreational units have been
reported and officials of the National
Conference declare that in Utah par
ticularly there is beautiful, almost
magnificent scenery in public do
main.
One suggestion advanced is that
state parks be established on the
sites of the proposed Wonderland
. National Park in South Dakota and
the proposed Roosevelt National
Park in North Dakota. Congress has
refused repeatedly to approve bills
creating these additional national
parks.
Officials of the National Confer
ence assert that these could easily
be made state parks, comparable to
the Custer State Park in South Da-
kota, to the Palisades Interstate. the
Adirondack and Catskill state Parks
in New York, and to the Redwood
State parks in California.
The Public Land Office has with
drawn number of areas in Utah
from public entry pending action by
the state; while in Nevada the gov
ernor has had eleven areas with
drawn. In Alabama a tract in Little
Mays Gulf, which is very scenic and
has gone practically unnoticed for a
number of years has been withdrawn
awaiting action by the state.

Liberty Bells" On
Exhibit at Exposition

Philadelphia, Sept. 2?.-(P)-The
Liberty Bell in Independence hall is
one of ut least half a dozen other
Liberty Bells" in Eastern Pennsyl-
vania communities which also rang
out the news that the Declaration of
independence had been signed.
Historically, these other chimes lay
claim to the title Liberty Bell" and
indeed are so called. They have been
gathered in one exhibit at the Sesqui-
centennial Exposition, making COM
plete the collection of the seven
chimes which commingled their voices
in celebration of the event.
AL Tolled Liberty"
Scores of additional bells rang out
the news when the declaration was
confirmed, but there are but six, be-
sides the Philadelphia bell, which are
recognized by historians as being au-
thentic Liberty bells. All the six
bells are smaller than the Philadel-
phia bell. Three of them were i'm
ported, as was the local chime: two
were cast in Bethlehem. Pa, and the
other at Bridgewater, Mass.
The bells are the town meeting
house bell at Chester. Pa, said to be
the oldest municipal bell in the
United States. 1t was cast in England
in 1924 and brought to Pennsylvania
only 40 years after the landing of
Penn. For a number of years the bell
was lost but five years ago it came to
light and was rehung in the Chester
courthouse.
Second in Size
Second in point of size is the Lam
caster bell, cast in England in 1745 for
the "Cloister," near Ephrata. Pa. When
it arrived it was declared sinful and
worldly" and was sold to the Holy
Trinity Lutheran Church. Lancaster
After serving at different times as
state house bell. fire bell and church
bell, it was broken in 1885, but was
preserved.
The Berks county courthouse bell
east in Massachusetts in 1863. ranks
third in seniority. 1t also served in
various capacities before coming final
~ into the guardianship of the Berks
county Historical Society.
The ST. Johns parish bell at York
Pa. was acquired in 1774 by the So
ciety for the Propa cation of the Faith
in London. 1t was hung in the court
house, owing to the church building
having no belfry. 1t cracked while
tolling the death of President McKin-
ley in 1901 The Philadelphia bell was
cracked while tolling the death of
Chief Justice John Marshall In 1850
In Constant Service
The Northampton county court
house bell-the only one of the seven
to have remained in continuous SER
vice up to the present-was cas-. by
Matthias Tommerop in the cellar OF
the Moravian Bretheren's House in
Bethlehem, in 1868, after which it was
tested and taken to Easton and hung
in a steeple of the old courthouse.
In the tower of the Zion Reformed
church at Allentown. Pa, while the
treasured Philadelphia Liberty Bel
lay hidden beneath in the basement
during British occupancy, hung q
small bell which defiantly rung out its
summons. After 1890 the Allentown
Liberty Bell passed to the municipal
academy. 1t was obscured for many
years after the academy was super
coded by colleges, but recently was re-
discovered and identified. Except fol
its missing clapper, the bell is as
sound as ever.
