America's National Parks Every year about this time comes the report of the director of national parks, and it invariably records grati fying progress, lhe popularity ot these great pleasure grounds has been greatly increased by the automobile. Last year of the more than 1,200,000 visitors GO per cent traveled in their own cars. Before the advent of the auto mobile and the improvement of the roads which it necessi tate, there was some truth in the assertion that the parks were chiefly for a few who could afford to take the long journeys by railroads. But the past and other recent sum mers have witnessed hundreds of thousands of American families of moderate means traveling in their car and camping out both in the park and along the way. Com menting on the fact that more than two-thirds of the total "camped out,'' the director of parks remarks that "it is ob vious that the national parks are among the most popular institutions fostered by the government." It is just 50 years since the first national park not on ly in the United States, but in the world, that in the Yel lowstone district, was established. Since then seventeen others have been acquired. The Yellowstone attracted about 100,000 visitors during the past season, being ex ceeded in popularity only by the Rocky Mountain, Yose mite and Hot Springs, Ark., reservations. It is most for tunate that the government has been able to preserve these places of scenic beauty unspoiled by commercialism. In the truest sense these examples of nature's wonders be long to the people, and as time goes on they will more and more appreciate their advantages and avail themselves of them. Little Ideas Valuable Of 100 Married Men 59 succeed j j 11 1L Of !00 Single Men 49 succeed 51 tail IS that worldly wise maxim to the effect that "he travels fastest who travels alone" to no the way of other exploded fallacies? Is ' it, in the modern competitive ilrunifle, the married man who more : frequently kuccceds? Statisticians of the Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Company re- cently had occasion lo study this nuestion. to sift the evidence in hundred of cases. They found that the married man has the best i.lanre to sucreed. AmoiiR every hundred married men whose records : were examined 59 had advanced so steadily '.hat success was stamped upon their careers. Forty-one had "failed to frsre the Krade." Among the. single men. however, the failures outbalanced the successes. Fifty one made records that were mediocre or wie. while 4') hnd succeeded. ' Inventors and othei-s who serve the race often die in poverty, their labor unrewarded. One reason, possibly, is thejjSimplicity of ideas.jvhicli are presented. Frequently when an originator has described Ins discovery, the com ment is, "Of course. Everyone I;nows that." Yet the idea may never have been put to practical use. An instance is indicated in the announcement that oil. tanks to be constructed in the future will be tall and slender rather than short and broad. It has been found that there is a considerable loss by evaporation of oil stor ed in tanks. Of course, everyone knows that the amount of evaporation bears relationship to the area of exposed surface of a liquid, but no one though, to reduce the sur face of stored oil until the man with the idea came along. Such ideas are the product of understanding. The person who made the first bottle, with a neck instead of an opening as large as the base, probably had the same idea as he who suggested building more slender oil tanks. It was the custom of iron makers for years to throw away the roll-scale from the mill, although it is pure oxide of iron, because no one Iiatl demonstrated that it could be thrown back into the furnace profitably. A single idea can stop a leak that months of economy and routine office efficiency cannot even find. . One Little Pig There is one happy little girl over in Sweden, and if loving means anything to a pig, there is a happy little porker there, too. The girl is Karin Arnoldson, and the pig, which is hers now, was presented to her by the king. Of course the combination of girl, pig and royalty has a story behind it. His .Majesty, you see, was out motoring one day, and his chauffeur bumped into the Arnoldson family hog and laid him low. It would have been the king's prerogative to keep right on going, according to all the popular notions of kings, but this one is different. He sent 'round to the Arnoldson place .to let Karin know the pig would be replaced. What an excited little girl she must have been ! Little girls and big, remember the time when your own Daddy presented you' with a pig, or a calf, or even a fluffv little chick? How tenderly you watched it, and cared 'for it, and fed it and tended it. And then, when that pig. or calf, or chick grew up, Daddy forgot all about your right of proprietoi-ship, and carted it to market, pocketing the badlv-needed proceeds for the family purse. Let's hope that Karin's Daddy won't be inconsiderate when King I'iggy gets to he a hog." The man with an idea faces the task of getting others to take it as seriously as he does. The man who goes out to hit the high spots should be sure that his tires are puncture-proof. The jaws of ruin that Germain- is said to be in seem to have rubber teeth. A little henna now and then is relished !v the wisest of women.
