USE OF D. c. ACREAGE
COMPILED IN TABLE
S. G. Lindholm Shows Percentages
of Land Occupied by Parks,

Less than 10 per cent of the total
acreage of the District of Columbia

has been estimated by Mr.. Lindholp.
OF the remaining territory, 7,99O13
acres are vacant and more than
11,448 acres are converted to the use
of streets, alleys and other thorough
fares.
Mr.. Lindholm's table places the
total land used by the Federal Gov
eminent at 1887 acres. while pub
lie and private institutions use 1924
acres. Existing parks embrace over
5,O77 acres and proposed park areas
total another 2,533 acres.

in character which District lands are
undergoing when the use of ground

in 1920 is compared with that at
present. While residential land now
embraces a trifle over IA per cent OF
the total acreage, in 1920 that type
OF ground constituted only 11A per
cent of the total, and in 1910 less than
10 per cent. Little change has been
wrought during the past seven years
in the amount of land occupied for
commercial and industrial uses, as the
present area is 4.6 per cent of the
total District acreage against AZ per
cent in 1920 and SO per cent in 1910
Government occupancy of land has
not changed, and the street acreage is
the same for the past seven years.
Parks, however, have increased from
the occupancy of 9k per cent of the
total land in 1910 to 1872 per cent at
present.

THE ATHENIAN OATH

The oath of the Athenian youth
might be renewed by every self boast
ed one-hundred per cent American.
1t makes even the counterfeit ring
true. Here it is:
1--WE will never bring disgrace to
this, our city, by any act of dishonesty
or cowardice, nor ever desert our
suffering comrades in the ranks. We
will fight for the ideals and sacred
things of the city, both alone and
with many; we will revere and obey
the city's laws, and do our best to in
cite a like respect and reverence
in those above us who are prone to
annul or set them at naught; we will
strive increasingly to quicken the pub
lies sense of civic duty. Thus in all
these things we will transmit this
city not only less, but greater, bet
ter, and more beautiful than it was
transmitted to u.s."

YOUTH

Youth-what is it? Does an in
creasing number of years piled on the
shoulders of man deprive him of
that quality? Nay, say we. Youth
is not a cycle in the life of man
it is more a condition of his associ-
alton with life. 1t isn't a matter of
rosy cheeks, ruby lips or supple
joints. 1t is more a vitality of the
inner being-the will-the mind and
the imagination.
A man is as young as he thinks he
is. If his faiths, hopes, self-confidence
and convictions are strong, tempered
and modern, he is youthful. If his
state of mind in these matters is
weak and failing-he is becoming old.
Deep in the heart of each of US
is the receiving station for messages
of good cheer, laughter, courage, pow
er, and ambitions. AS long as this
station continues to draw from the
world, from men and women and
from that greater Being above, the
lesson of youth and life-we are not
old. But let these messages become
stilled, let that station in the heart
become dust covered with the passing
of years or drowned in the waters of
fear-then youth has been lost.

BIRTH OF A HIGHWAY

"Who built this road, anyway
and why?" is a thought that must
come to any man with a glimmer
of Imagination from time to time
while he is travelling over one of our
modern highways which winds way
for fifteen or twenty miles, between
two points twelve miles apart.
Through clouds of smoke from his
pipe, while he stares with dreamy
vacancy ceiling-ward before his fire
place of a chilling autumn evening,
this panorama may unfold:
A weary fawn emerges from no
where, dragging his tired feet and
calling plaintively, as it ambles along
uncertainty in search of maternal
protection. Since it cannot leap that
fallen tree, around it must go. A
few disturbed leaves over an askew
trail. A few hours later a pack of
wolves, noses to the ground, in quest
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1927-11-10

of meal. There he has the genesis of
the road! The spur of the fawn, two
hundred years later, is the concrete
ribbon which you cussed today.
Next day nomad Indians came. The
trail is clear, and the hunters of the
tribe follow single file. Now the first
sign of path becomes visible. The
squaws raise tepees, for game is plen-
tiful. The path becomes more dis
tinct. Our smoker runs a contempla-
tive finger over his scalp, remains
hidden, and awaits results. The tribe
departs, but the trail remains, for
it Inadvertently crosses the little brook,
and the deer follow it to the water
ing place.
The white man comes. The little
path is sociable. He builds his hut at
it's side. Others follow, and erect
rude homes farther along the line.
AS the settlers increase, the path be-
comes a road, and there you are.
The little fawn didn't live in vain.

An exchange asks, "Who is the
home merchant" and then answers
as follows: "He is the man who
pays for the street on which you
walk, for the schools in which your
children, or perhaps you were >educat-
ed; he helps to keep the church in
which you worship; he is the man
who builds a home which enhances
the value of your property. Every
subscription paper that is passed has
his name upon it; he is the one that
cannot afford to swindle you, self
respect if nothing else would prevent
this; he bears his share of the bur-
den of good government and stays
with you in sunshine and darkness,
in prosperity and adversely. These
are few of the reasons why your
patronage should be given to home
merchants, printers, etc., first, last,
and all the time"
