It cost money to get Library park into it's present condition, but 1t was worth the outlay. Anybody who calls there these fine days and sees children enjoying themselves running about over the greensward and then looks at the number of grown people on seats cannot help saying that Library park is well worth what 1t cost. The only fault anybody could find with some of the city parks Is that they are too far from the thickly settled por- tions of the community, and as a. result many visit them but rarely. Various reasons might be assigned for this. To begin with parents hesitate about permitting their children to walk long distances to places of amusements and then again many. cannot afford the price Of trolley or bus tokens, 50 that the park convenient to where large numbers live is the ones from which the masses derive most ben- eft and at the least expense.

 New York. May 2b.-(uP)- Heary l.. Mencken, long a potent force in American criticism. can see no reason to be alarmed about either the future of the United States or the security of the capi- talistic system. 4
 Further than that. the man who has spent most of his life jabbing pen points into "boobns Ameri- canus," Is convinced the economic depression is greatly exaggerated.
 .sObviously," he said, "the capi- ta1istic system is working badly in these days of severe stress. But so would any other, system. It seems to me that, for all its de-i fects, 1t is doing far better in the United States today than the com munistio system did in Russia at the time of the last famine.
 "The effects of the depression are greatly exaggerated mainly by interested parties. Some of them are communistic sympathizers who try to make 1t appear that com munism would save us. Others are charity mongers who naturally howl calamity whenever there is a chance, and yet others are simply idiots of the kind who yell 'Fire!' in crowded theaters."
 Meanwhile, Mencken Is convinc- ed that we are learning some use- ful things.
 s'The rascality of professional politicians is being neatly exposed" of bankers, most of whom seem to have lost far more themselves than they lost for their custom ers. Best of al, we are learning that economists are mainly quacks. A few years ago they were heard Eravely by almost everyone, includ- ing especially, bankers, but now 1t is plain that their so-called science is Ut, least half buncon1be.
 "Try to imagine what pathology, says, would be like if 1t were In the state of economies. Every eminent . doctor would be whoopinG> pp.A diff4rent cause Of tubercu1osis, and his own private sure-oure for t.
 "The exposure of such charlR- tans leaves us Q bit bewilderad, but much bettersoff than we were when we believed them. For human progress consists mainly in ceas- ing to believe in, nonsense. The more ignorant the man., the more sure he is5 of everything. For every question, he has Q ready an- swer. The concept of the insofuble is simply beyond him. st
 nevertheless, 1t remainR fact that most of the really basic hue man problems are probably insolu- ble. The ' chances are that the world will never see U genuinely sound and efiici6nt system of gov- ernment, and that 1t will never see c perfect economic system"
 Mencken is not greatly worried about this insolubility of man. kinds problems. The American system, In government and eco- monies, though plainly full of holes" still seems to him to be better than any other system cur- rentiy in force.
 "The communistic scheme," he said, Ifs really too siily to be dis cussed seriously, and the various projects for q planned economy would be almost as bad, for they, would simply. expose us to more and worse quacks than we have now HtAtk t.Y ~ VI sHwlih te asf.

New York, Oct 1s.-(UP)-The

sakele, the Egyptian beauty spe-
cialist, and the six male manicur-
lists.
Monsieur Georges has establish
ed himself in a large booth, sur
rounded by the documentary evil
dence of his achievements as a
beautician. He has divided and
classified women In seven types,
he has created more than 900 per-
fumes. He Is prepared to make
any woman, IL not more beautifuL
at least more attractive.
The six male manicurists are in
a neighboring booth, waiting pa
tiently for feminine digets. They
are six personable appearing broad
chested and heavy of shoulder.
Dom Albert Pogano, is a former
marine and the author of a. book
about the second Nicaraguan cam
paign. Harvey Fenton Is former
actor.
Between these two booths the
crowd gravitated, Monsieur
Georges explaining In accented
English that beauty Is a matter
of odor," and S. A. Bender, dean
of a beauty college, expounding the
necessity and utilitarina value OF
male manicurists.
But the other booths were not
without interest. In one was q
new tangled hair dryer in which
the dryee inserts her head among
a circle of tubes. This dries be-
hind the ears" says a large placard.
Another is the duo-tone hair dye,
which, to put It roughly allows
madame to put stripes in her hair.

ance which, when passed through
the hair. leaves a streak a little
darker than the natural shade OF
the hair.

er demonstrates the art of artificial
-brows wrought to the finest
perfection. 1t is an eye brow as
false as false teeth and as easily
put on and taken off.
