Your

@iasz y Ma SERVICE nc:

Have your children a place to
play or does your garage take up
nine-tenths of the back yard?
hope not the latter, because cars
can be stored any place and chill
dren can't, or shouldn't be. Every
child in the world needs sun to
play in sun, and sun, and more
sun, and preferably not In the
street.
l am perfectly frank in saying
that apartments are no place for
children - unless they are equip
ped with a real honest-to-goodness
playground, or there is one within
easy and safe walking distance.
Tiny children who cannot reach
public parks or Fairgrounds and
who have no one to take them
should have a yard, a clean
healthy one too, not place filled
with ash cans and garbage cans
and odd boards A young couple
with children or who expect to
have them should consider this
! matter first when house hunting.
Do not allow me to discourage
you if you live in cramped quar-
tiers where the children cannot get
out enough. 1 know how this very
question worries many parents.
Victims of circumstances they just
cannot make, the change and 1t is
certainly too bad. Some day things
may be different.
But I am urging all those who
are undecided or who are in posi-
ton to have yard to put the chill
dren first. If you are considering
two houses and one has a first
class garage and no yard and the
other first class yard and no ga
rage, make up your mind, l en-
treat you, to use shank's mare
for block twice a day for the
automobile and give the garage
space to the youngsters.
They Need the Earth
Children need to run, to slide.
to play ball, fly kites, play tag,
marbles, and all sorts of games.
They need to get in touch with
Mother Earth and let Father Sun
shine all over them.
And speaking of Fairgrounds
why not get busy while the in
spiration of spring lasts and do a
little home carpentering? 1t only
takes a smooth board and a box
to make seasaw and another to
make a slide. If your ground is
dmp a few boards or a piece of
oilcloth anchored down will make
fine dump for sand. You can
buy all these tricks at the sore
and they are away down in price
too, but even so, who has any
money? Don't do without them,
though, just for that. Turn in
ventor and let the children help
and see what a Coney Island you
can have at home.
Garden sets? Well now, there's
real idea! You can get them at
the 1iven and ten, or at. other
places for very little. And seeds
are cheap.
But don't have a hybrid, invite
your friends-for garden that
the children aren't allowed to pro-
fame - not unless you have room
for both. l love beautiful gardens
but love children better. Their
own gardens should not take too
much of the play space either, by
the way.
Spring, sun, children. Get them
together and not on the street.
Streets are no place for play any
more this year speeders are
worse than ever. City councils are
trying to reduce expenses, but
never mind, when times get bet
ter / shall start my old hammer
ing again for the ''neighborhood
park" in every other block. That
F., is what cities will have to spend
money on before long.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-04-14

about me-" Sue said it very SIM
ply.
you need training. Don't you
know yet that it is good for man
to worry about girl? But here l
go lecturing again. I'll tell Ruth
you want some orange juice and
milk toast or would you rath-
err have a steak?"
When Corrinne's light steps
had died away on the stairway Sue
gave a sigh of relief. She wonder
ed how she could accept her sis
ter's apologies so complacently
had intended to make Corrinne
work her way back.
Il guess it is because I'm so
lazy" Sue murmured drowsily SIT
seems so much nicer to have
everyone friendly than to be fight
ing. The path of least resistance.
L haven't spunk enough to stay an
cry
For no reason at all she sud-
denly remembered the check Arm
old Page had given her.

II. e. L. L. HUNTS FOR
INITIALS I'M PARK

Yellowstone Park, Wyo., Aug.
11.-(Special)-One of the old
guard of Yellowstone National
park, literally speaking, returned
to the scene of his old stamping
grounds recently and began a
search for the initials H. E. L. L.,
1907, carved into a tree near the
bottom of the Grand Canyon of
the Yellowstone.
The man is Harry Edward Liv-
ingston Loft, four names, count
them, and four very pertinent ini-
tials. In 1907 Mr.. Loft, who is
now g sergeant in the quarter
master corps in the U. s. Army,
came into Yellowstone park and
was quartered in the old Fort
Yellowstone at Mammoth Hot
Springs. He remained in the park
for seven years, until 1914, and
since that time had never been
back to this area.
He set out early to find the ini-
tials which he had carved early
during his stay here, but he had
no luck. Not only was he unable
to find the initials, but even the
tree was impossible to locate.

HOOVER FAVORS
DRY LAW CHANGE
Foresees Future Recovery
In Acceptance Speech
at Washington

Washington, Aug. 11.-(AP)-
Advocating a change in prohibi-
ton and envisaging a movement
from defense to powerful attack
upon the depression" Herbert
Hoover Thursday night accepted
denomination to the presidency.
The states should be allowed to
deal with the liquor problem as
they see fit, he declared, but sub
ject to constitutional guarantees
to protect each from interference
and invasion by its neighbors, and
that in no part of the United
States shall there be a return to
the saloon system"
In going on record in favor of a
change the president went beyond
the Republican platform which
was confined to the proposition
that the question of such a change
should be submitted to the people.
In mid-afternoon, at the execu-
tive mansion, the president and
first lady acted as hosts to more
than 400 members of the notifica-
ton committee.
To the distinguished audience of
the party in Constitutional hall, a
few blocks from the White house,
the president especially reviewed
the administration record for al
deviation of the economic situation
saying the measures taken have
repealed attack of fear and
panic" He promised to propose
more measures to speed recovery.
"That recovery may be slow,
but we will succeed he said.
AS one means to that end, Mr..
Hoover said he now was organic
ing the private industrial and fl
nancial resources Of the country
to cooperate effectively with the
vast governmental instrumental
tiles which we have in motion, so
that through their united and CO.
ordinated efforts we may move
from defense to power attack up
on the depression along the whole
national front"

Drove to the village of Santa

ject to make a national monument
out of a ward in Ravenna connect
ed with the poet Dante.
Heard a report from the secre-
tary of the Fascist party for the

Conferred with the director OF

Blister Rust Spreading;
More States Affected

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Service.
Blister rust, a serious disease Of
white-pine trees, has been found in
FIVE states heretofore believed free
of the disease. the United States
Department of Agriculture reports.
The states are Maryland. Virginia,
West Virginia, Ohio and Iowa.
These bring the total of eastern
states In which the rust is found
to II.
Blister rust is spread by the wind
and lives not only on white pines
but also on currant and gooseberry
plants (Ribes). 1t is very destruc-
tive to white pine. The chief method
of control is the eradication Of cur
rants and gooseberries within 900
feet of stands of pine.
The rust spread from Pennsyl-
vania into Maryland, Virginia and
West Virginia. In Maryland 1t was
found on European black currants,
wild gooseberries and white pine,
while in Virginia and West Virginia
it was found only On wild gooseber-
ries. In Ohio the rust was found
on European black currants and
wild gooseberries, while in Iowa it
was found on northern white pine.

EXPERTS SEEK ORIGIN
OF WEST INDIA ISLES

sented by bones buried In cavern
floors. Smithsonian scientists hope
may illuminate the moot theories
of origin. If land connection ever
existed, Ii Is held, the continental
mammals would have wandered
freely into the West Indian area
However, none of the larger fam
lilies. such as the bison or the bears,
are represented among the living
forms or fossils.
Those who hold the continental
theory explain this by arguing that
these larger forms were creatures
OF the lowlands which perished
when the land was Inundated. They
believe that only smaller creatures
Of the high mountains, whose tops
form the present West Indies, would
have survived. They ask. If these
Islands were of oceanic origin,
where did their animal life origi-
nate.
Unfortunately the present nam
NAL life Of the islands, according to
the Smithsonian experts, may be
by no means representative Of what
it once was. At the time Of Co
lumbus' first voyage there was a
