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.
