PARKS INCREASES —— Have Gained Mach Favor Among States in Last Fow Years — Washington, D, C., March b.~What 18 o state park? Announcement that the third an- nual conference of state parks will be held at Turkey Run State park, In- diana, May 7, 8 and 9, gives rise to the 7queatlm:. “You will search, most reference books In vain to;‘\u\y Information about state parks, an important fact that every thinking Amerlcan citizen should know,” says a bulletin from the National Geographic soclety, “though there you will find ample mentlon of national parks and city parks, Five-Foot Park Shelves “State parks are pocket editions of our .great national park system. “They are the stop-over places of the motorist. “They perch on barren peaks and preserve tree-bowered lovers' lanes beside running brooks. “They take in such shrines as Lin- coln's birthplace and James Whit- comb Riley's ‘old swimmin’ hole.’ “They perpetuate far older history than that to be found in history text- books. Starved Rock park, Illinois, commemorates the time when Amer- fca’s inland was a sea; when the cos- mic happenings of millions of years ago deposited the shells and preeipi- tated the lime which® formed the magnesium limestone layer of this region, “Prairie Land to Fairyland"” “lowa invited its citizens to an hour’s auto ride from ‘prairie land to fairyland.’ ) “In Wisconsin you can rent an is- land for ten dollars a year. “State parks save the open play spaces amid dense populations of the east and they keep out encroaching farm lands of the middle west. “Rip Van Winkle sought surcease in skittles from a shrewish spouse, but the city man today, harried by a hundred worries, can take wife and children for a 48-hours’ rest to the hills where Rip retreated. “If this sounds llke rhapsody— that's what state parks still afford to routine-ridden city dwellers. “Qur own parks bear evidence of our new governmental ideal. Origin- ally a park, says Noah Webster, was ‘an inclosed piece of ground stocked with beasts of the chase, held by pre- scription or the king's grant.’ “Today a park might be defined as ‘an uninclosed piece of ground stock- ed with beasts, not to be chased, or killed, held by prescription of the people for their own use.’ Many New Editions “Nobody knows exactly how many state parks there are in 1923. Two vears ago a survey by the National Park service showed that 26 states had state parks. The movement has taken such a hold within the last few years that the park areas within these states has expanded materially and other states have embarked upon park programs. “{"Niagara Falls is nationally known a8 scenery, and also as a controversy, but, in the history of the park move- is the day yo Service Station, business.

Ten million peo- ple, it is estimated, can reach the Palisades Interstate park in a two- hour ride by auto or boat. “Nowhere are parks longer regard- ed as luxuries; but in New York state they arc.an additional necessity be- cause they protect the vitally import- ant watersheds in the north of the state. Upon this protection depends the great industrial enterprises which use hydro-electric power. “Turkéy Run State park, Indiana, where the coming conference will be held, is a last stand of the primeval forest which once covered practically all the Hoosler state, It is especially rich in the yellow poplar or tulip tree of Indiana, the -sycamore and the black walnut. It has a modern hotel, eiectrically equipped, modern plumb- irg and a steam heating system. Thus {he park has been made available for use the year round.” SOON IT WILL BE DADDY, INSTEAD OF EX-KAISER ‘Wilhelm and His Wife Expect To Be Proud Parents in Few Months, per Newsprper Reports London, March 5.—A special cor- respondent of the Daily Chronicle writes: “A family event I learn is expected to take place in a few months’ time at Doorn House, the ex-kaiser's place of exile in Holland.
