CAPITAL STARTS
VAST PARK PLAN
Preservation of Historic
Sites Included in Project
at Washington.

Washington.-With the appropr-
alton by congress of the first in
stallment of an authorized total of
S33, 100000 for park purposes in and
around the National Capital, inelud-
ing the George Washington Memo
rial parkway, a long-cherished hope
is being translated into a certainty.
Without further delay surveys now
may be undertaken and prelim-
mary work begun on park project
which will reward the efforts of
those who have been urging for
years completion of a program made
years ago for the Identification of
Washington and its environs.
Nothing like the proposed memo
rial parkway in natural beauty and
historic charm, it is said, could be
developed anywhere else in this
country. No European city, accord
ing to the late Viseount James
Bryce, has $50 noble cataract in
its vicinity as the Great Falls of
the Potomac, which is the browning
glory of the 15-mile stretch of the
Upper Potomac valley now forever
preserved as national monument.
Declarations Expected in 1882.
Included within the parkway is
the Mount Vernon Memorial high
way from Washington to Mount
Vernon, authorized two years ago,
now, in process of construction, and
completion of which is promised in
time for the George Washington BIZ
centennial in 1882.
It is hoped that dedication at
least of the memorial parkway,
which ultimately will include also
another highway, from Fort Wash
ington to Great Falls on the Mary
land side, and bridge across the
Potomac at or near Great Falls may
be a feature of the bieentennial eel
ebration.
The memorial parkway will ex-
tend from Mount Vernon to a point
above Great Falls and will include
both shores of the Potomac, the
gorge in the vicinity of which

side of the river under the direc-
ton of George Washington, and

of the young Virginian. as well as
the spot where he camped with
Braddoek.

Freezing Not Fatal

Fish and many insects can be
frozen without destroying life. Cat
erpillars, according to entomolog-
lists, regularly live after being fro
zen during the winter. One inves-
tigator froze the grubs of the spe-
cies known as daddy-long-legs until
they would readily break, and those
not broken survived. Fish have
been frozen in solid Ice without
killing them.

Drive Linking Forts of 1861.
Perhaps the most important
single project in the district plan.
according to Mr.. Cramton, is the
Fort Boulevard following the hills
and eireling the city and connect
ing the Civil war forts, generally
referred to as the Fort-to-F Fort drive,
! and covering distance of OBS
miles from Conduit road to Blue
Plains.
Of this proposed drive or contin-
uous parkway, the commission re-
ported in 1929:
THE Civil war forts around
Washington were built on hills and
ridges which commanded distant
views. The historic interest at
taehing to the 'defenses of Wash
ington, and the remarkable views
obtainable from the old forts has
led to demand that these sites
should be held by the public for
park purposes"
Delay already has considerably
abridged the Fort-to-Fort drive,
plans for which were made and ap-
proved as far back as 1901. Local
real estate developments have made
impossible the carrying out of the
original plan, but there Is still the
possibility of securing an unusual
and interesting circumferential
parkway joining a chain of local
parks containing the old Civil war
forts, "a very stunning park prof.
eet," according to Col. U. S. Grant
III, executive officer of the commits
sion.
Problem of Rising Land Values.
The total cost Of the lands re-
quired for park purposes within the
District of Columbia was estimated
by Colonel Grant in December, 1928,
at about S10.00O,00O, and increasing
at the rate of from 100000 to
S1,000,000 a year.
In emphasizing this feature OF
the problem, Representative Cram
ton reminded the house that Cen.
trail Park, purchased In 1857 for
S5,OOO,0O0, and improved at a cost
Of S10,000,000, over the opposition
of those who contended that it was
SO far out and the horse-drawn
street cars were so slow that few
people could go to it from lower
New York, now is valued at "some-
where between the S5S0.OOO,0OO es-
timated by the assessors, and
S3,0O000O,00O, the selling price
which would be asked by conserva-
tive real estate men If the property
were for sale"
Maryland and Virginia authori-
ties are cooperating with unanim-
ity and enthusiasm in the program
worked out by the National Capital
Park and Planning commission for
the acquisition and development of
the George Washington Memorial
parkway, the extension of Rock
Creek park into Maryland and Of

Some insects catch other insects
In snares, like the spider web, or In
pits of Ingenious construction, like
the ant lions trap. These preda-
cious insects, as they are called,
account for great many victims.
But the great majority of insect
eating insects, when young, live
within the bodies of their victims
and eat their way out, or within
their eggs. These are the true
parasites; they are the farmers

Cramton's Plea for Historic Sites.
The bill was ranked as an emer-
gency measure by Representative
Louis @. Cramton Of Michigan, who
first introduced 1t in the house in
December, 1923, In urging its pass
age at the last session, he declared
that it represented no new policy,
but sought only to make effective
plans long since prepared and ap-
proved, but "disastrously slow In
realization"
THAT which man made, man may
replace, and when he WILL" Mr..
Cramton said. But the beauties of
nature man cannot restore when
once destroyed.
Those woods which Washington
loved are disappearing; those
charming palisades of the Potomac
are daily scenes of blasting that rob
them of their primeval beauty.
While we make a reality of the
dreams of rElfante In carrying for
ward man-made beauties, we must
not permit the beautiful scenic real
tiles of Washington's time to be-
come only mourned memories"
He warned the, house that the

tional Park and Planning commits
sion as the minimum allowance for
the lands to be acquired in the Dis
trict of Columbia should be made

of waiting, sent Kafur the following
