Washington. —Development o f the economic, as well as the aesthetic value o f the national parks o f the country. Is the policy o f Mark Daniels, newly appointed superintendent o f na tional parks In the department o f the Interior. Through the operation of a carefully worked out plan Mr. Daniels believes that not only can the national reserva tions eventually become self support ing. but that tbe picturesque value will be enhanced rather than destroyed by the placing of "beauty ou a business basis.” Briefly, the plan of the new superintendent contemplates the estab lishment of a "model village" In each o f the large parks or In so many of them as tbe patronage will Justify. In discussing his plan Mr. Daniels said: “ There Is no doubt In my mind but that the national parks should be placed on a self supporting basis. Tbe people will In time refuse to support the parks, and we should therefore take advantage o f tbe revenue produc ing elements o f tbe national reserva tlon«. "M y plan la simply to broaden tbe fleld for concession and to lay down simple building regulations to be fol lowed by tbe gonceasloparlea. wblcb will preclude Tbe possibility of the erection o f buildings not harmonious with the scenic beauty o f tbe parks.” LIVE SNAKE IN HER STOMACH X Ray Reveals Reptile — Removed Without Operation.
