Value
Of Springs
Wasted

Amidst the scenic beauty Of
Platt National Park in Southern
Oklahoma, some Of the finest
mineral springs in the United
States are bubbling away their
curative values because the Fed
era! Government Sternly frownS
on their development.
Ironically, the beautiful park
was acquired in 1902 primarily to
make the waters available with
out exploitation to all classes Of
visitors.
But, unlike Hot Springs Ma
tional Park in Arkansas, also &C.
quired by the Federal Govern
ment to prevent exploitation of
Its famous springs, Plat National
Park has none Of the accommoda-
tions necessary to establish it as
O health dispensing spa.
GOVERNMENT AIDS
At Hot Springs the Government
has encouraged and supervised
construction of fine hotels, sana-
toria and bath houses where physi-
clans and trained attendants can
treat and discipline the thousands
who come there every year for the
cure.
Such facilities are essential if
the most is to be made of the
curative values Of the mineral
springs, experts agree. It is the
accommodations, plus the pres
ence of great experts, which have
made the watering places Of
Europe world renowned.
The therapeutic value Of the
Springs in Platt National Park
are unquestioned. Tradition has it
that their healing virtues were we'll
known to the Indians and that
for many decades before the COM
ing of the white man, the creek
banks were dotted with the tepees
of the Indians who came to drink
from the Springs at certain sea-
sons of the year.
NAME CHANGED
To protect the springs from un-
restrained commercial exploita-
ton the greater part of the park
area was purchased from the
Choctaw Indian Nation in 1902.
The Park then was known as the
Sulphur Springs Reservation. In
1906 the name was changed to
honor Senator Orville Hitchcock
Platt.
There are 80 springs of major
Importance and several minor
ones in the park. Eighteen have
been broadly classified as sulphur,
six as fresh water, four as iron
and three as bromide springs
The National Park Service facil-
1tates the usefulness of the
springs only by making the water
available to all who desire to drink
1t. At the same time, the Park
Service warns the waters should
be taken extensively only on the
advice of competent physicians,
and points out that there are no
provisions at the park or in the
nearby town of Sulphur for treat
ment of the sick.

THE LOW DOWN
FROM HICKORY GROVE

Fifty years ago they used to
cure just about all the ills of
man or beast. by bleeding. And
you had to be a pretty hard kind
of person to survive the doctor.
And you know, it halfway
looks to me like they are up to
the same tricks again. But this
time they are trying it on bust
ness instead of on people or
horses or SowS, etc.
Business sure is getting white
around the gills-and weak in
the knees.
But / see where this here old
Dock Pat Harrison down there in
the mud-cat state, he says bleed
ing, it is further outa date and
worse for business, than it was
for grandpa. He says we gotta
do something to revive business,
except more taxes.

that kind of gent, with good
horse sense, down there on our
wide Potomac.

Last summer, Pearl Buck wrote
of Americas Medieval Women"
According to Mrs. Buck, who has
lived for years in China, Am

than in that ancient civilization
where, we have come to believe,
they have no rights at all.
Americans educate women to
expect free and full develop

land then clamp down upon
them the yoke of tradition"
She feels that we must either
stop educating women for equal
ity, or else give them equality of
opportunity.
It is an excellent. mind-stirring
article, and one which l would
recommend to every thinking
man and woman. We are too apt
to become satisfied with slogans
and to accept half measures for
projections.
But the picture, believe, is
not so dark as Mrs. Buck has
painted it.
Tradition has been many years
in the brewing, and freedom fol
women is a comparatively new
idea. Give us another fifty years
or so of education and then watch
