National Park System Needs $1,500,000
triMKiirv in the
iiFASHINGTON.—Definite approval
W by congress of a comprehensive
plan for development of the national
park system will be sought by the
national park service of the depart-
ment of the Interior In submitting its
1922 appropriation estimates.
The estimates total $2,473,594 and
provide for construction of roads, sani-
tary systems, camping grounds and
electric lighting plants for the public
camps and hotels. In addition to the
regular expenses of maintenance and
administration. The estimates exceed
the appropriation for the current year
by approximately $1,500,000—all of
which the service plana to use In in-
augurating Its development program.
The service said It would submit
with Its estimates figures showing
that each year the national parks re-
turn to the federal treasury In the
form of revenues, a large dividend on
the investment. These revenues in the
1920 fiscal year were said to have
amounted to approximately 35 per cent
of the cost of maintaining the parks
that year, while the revenues this
year are expected to amount to 40 per
cent of the year's cost. The sugges-
tion Is added that, should the devel-
opment program he approved. It is ex-
pected that the revenues within a few
years will he brought to a figure ap-
proximating the cost of admlnlstra-
tion, maintenance and protection.
The estimates for the fiscal year of
1922 to be submitted by the servics
for the various parks follow:
Yellowstone, $492,300; Yofem'*e;
$575,537; Glacier. Montana, $333,100;
Mount Italnler, Washington, $214,400;
Sequoia, California, $175,217; Grand
Canyon, Arizona, $159,000; Rocky
Mountain. Colorado. $150,000; Mesa
Verde, Colorado. $54,250; I-afayette.
Maine. $50,000; Crater Lake, Oregon
$26,400; Zion. Utah. $20,000; General
Grant, California. $10,000; Mount Mc-
Kinley, Alaska, $10,000; Hawaii. Ha-
waiian islands. $10,000; Wind Cave.
South Dakota, $8,500; Platt. Oklaho-
ma. $7,500, and Lassen Volcanic Na-
tional park, California. $5,500.
i EWING that Is more of a Joy than
I a task, occupies the time of the
>me seamstress In January and Feb-
iary, for she Is engaged with the
mlnutlve and ever amusing garm-
ents for her little ones. The de-
gners of this year’s models merit
ore than usual thanks, for they have
ade most unusual and pretty dresses
nd rompers, as a guide for those who
ant to give their children the advan-
ce of the best styles. Besides fa-
illiar cotton goods, they have used
nen In colors, pongee, dark taffetas,
nd have combined contrasting colors.
Rompers are among those present
i every diminutive wardrobe. Quite
ften they nre as pretentious as the
Ittle affairs shown above, which seem
qually well adapted to girls or boys
ip to the age of four. They are clev-
erly cut In one piece of sturdy cotton
;oods, or coarse linen, have a plait In
he center of the front and back, and
ire slashed about the waist to allow
a belt of the goods or a sash e1 rib-
bon to slip through. The round neck
and short sleeves are scalloped at the
edges, but they might be bound with
tape or luwn. Few seamstresses can
resist the temptation to put a little
simple embroidery or stitching on auch
small garments.
Instead of rompers, some small
girls maintain the freedom of their
sex by wearing blouses to mate!
frocks or aprons. The latter are too
brief as to length to hamper them any.
There are a good ninny sleeveless
frocks and rompers In the new dis-
plays. a few with long sleeves, hut
more'than either of these, are these
made with short sleeves that hardly
reach the elbow. Little flowers and
miniature fruits are favorite motifs
for embroidery on the dressier gar-
ments and small ties of wool ending
in balls, or of narrow ribbon, and
amusing, mnke-belleve buttons, delight
the hearts of their wearers.

bi-
rr HE latest “reform" bill Ls drafted
1 by Senator Wesley L. Jones of
Washington and It would forbid all
American citizens abroad and mem-
bers of the American diplomatic and
consular services to serve liquors at .
public or official functions, or to rec-
ognize clubs where such beverages
are dispensed. The bill also would
require the diplomatic service to en-
force this provision.
The measure would prevent Ambas-
sador John W. Davis from belonging
to or attending social gatherings at
the St. James club in Piccadilly,
which Is open to all members of the
diplomatic corps. It would bar drinks
from the table of every American am-
bassador. It might even prohibit a
diplomat from handing a friendly vlsl-

tor a glass of wine or beer in his
home.
The proposed bill goes further than
any suggestion heretofore made In con-
nection with the prohibition move-
ment.
Drastic penalties are provided for
infringement of the proposed law. The
second offense would entail a prison
term of from six months to six yenrs.
In such cases the sentence ls manda-
tory, the Judge being given no discre-
tionary powers.
The binding of American diplomats
and consular officers ls made effective
In this section:
"That It shall he unlawful for any
citizen of the United States or person
owing allegiance to the United States
to serve any of the Intoxicating liquors
mentioned here in section 1 at a pub-
lic or official function, or give official
recognition to any club or association
that keeps or serves such liquors for
beverage purposes."
The beverages forbidden are de-
scribed as Including “distilled, spirit-
uous. malt, vinous, or any Intoxicating
liquors that contain one-half of one

Complete annihilation of enemy

skyline, or the fortifications guard-
ing the Golden Gnte. becomes a seem-
ing possibility as a result of recent
tests by warships of the navy off the
Virginia cai>es. For these tests a
number of out-of-date battleships were-
used. There was not a human being
on board, yet they were maneuvered,
hither and thither at will. Thus the
battleship Ohio, of 13.000 tons, was-
steered and mannged by wireless op-
erators on the battleship Indiana.
The wireless-controlled ship has
been develojied out of the Invention
of John Hays Hammond. Jr., son of
a noted American engineer.
