PARKS MEAN MUCH TO CITY Playgrounds a Most Important Part in the Welfare of Any Community. Play and outdoor exercise are as necessary to the modern city dweller as is education, according to J. R. Richards, Chicago's superintendent of recreation. The way in which people spend their lives after the day's journey is over the way in which they play-offers them the best chance of contributing to the enhancement of one another's lives; that is the view of Herbert Croly in "Progressive Democracy." Purks are oiten called the lungs of the cities. That seems to denote health giving. To call them the heart of the cities might give more idea of the moral value of the people's play grounds. That there is a moral issue in the use of public parks is the theme of Mr. Richards' paper on the American city. The leisure time period, he de clares, is the part of our existence that makes or breaks us. The saloon, of fering facilities for getting together, is one resort open to the idle hour, and he asserts that "the first Visit is for companionship and not for booze." Among the recommendations for the development of recreation opportuni ties for adults is that city authorities should co-operate with organizations already in existence and should have a survey made to put into use for out door sports all vacant areas. Grown ups, he believes, should be induced to take more interest in golf, tennis, cricket, boating, skating and other garnis and should be given plenty of room for sport. Public swimming pools also are urged to spread health and retain it. Plan the "City Practical." Something of the right spirit Is in St. Louis, where Harlan Bartholomew has been engaged by the citizens' city planning committee. The river front and the street system will first engage his attention. "The city beautiful idea does not appeal to the. general public suffi ciently to win financial support," he said shortly after arriving from New ark, N. J., where for three years he had been a city plan expert. "I am interested in the city practical, and I find that the public is inclined to favor it, as is comes to understand what can be done, and the benefits that will follow, "The river front should be made a public convenience and a business as set, and the improvements to be made should bc in the direction of aiding the interchange of freight between rail and water carriers. "The street system of St. Louis, as of most American cities, is too largely rectangular. Radial highways are needed. Here the work of city re-1 planking has to correct the mistakes of the past, which are often costly mistakes. The only place where it can do new work, and prevent further ! mistakes is in the planning of subdi visions and additions." ! Use ls the Test. Chicago's effort to promote outdoor j recreation recently received tribute ! troza linos Mills of Colorado. He is an enthusiastic supporter of the move-1 mont for increased utilization cf America's national parks. "No city in the country has done so much for outdoor recreation as Chi- j cago,"' he said. ' Ycu are using your ; parks." So it world appear that Mr. Rich ards practices what he preaches in the magazines. The Chicago News, in ac cepting Mr. Mills compliment, com ments: "Chicago dees not by any means lead in park area, either absolutely or . in proportion to population. But, as ' Mr. Mills remarks, this community makes excellent provision for tho peo ple's intensive utilization of the avail able park facilities. The playgrounds, the bathing beaches and swimming pools are designed to bring opportun ities for healthrul exercise and enjoy ment wit ??in easy r^ach of as many of | the people as possible, and a true rea son for regret is the delay in the ac quisition and conversion of the outly ing wooded arras."

Tukif's seemed to be deserted, finally an old man appeared, and ai Peggy stated her errand, he retn ed into the mysterious region in rear of the store from which he 1 emerged.

CONTROL CATALPA PES1 Insect Feeds Exclusively on Fo?i age of Trees. Several Methods by Which Sphin: May Be Readily Destroyed-Com bination of Arsenicals and Bordeaux ls Favored. (By F. H. CHITTENDEN.) Our native species of catalpa ar comparatively free from insect attaci but there is one insect, however, th caterpillar of the catalpa sphin: which feeds normally and exclusive! on the foliage of these trees and i: some seasons does very considerate injury, often completely stripping th leaves from individual trees and-som? times from an entire grove. Owinj doubtless, to the increased planting c these trees outside the regions i which they are found in the wild stab this insect has extended its naturi range, and its injury is more widi spread now than formerly. There are several methods by whic the catalpa sphinx may be readily di stroyed. The caterpillars may b gathered by hand, the foliage of th trees may be sprayed with arsenic: poisons, the pupae may be destroye by spading the ground around the tre trunks in the fall, and, indirectly, th sphinx may be destroyed by proteo lng the parasitic insects which attac it. Owing to its large size, the cate] pillar is easily seen and can be coi trolled by hand picking. A long ladde and a 12-foot pole pruner or simila device will be necessary in this worl Where hand picking is dif?lcult th application of an arsenical spray o Parasite of Catalpa Sphinx. combination of arsenicals and Boi deaux mixture ls the best method o their control. The proper ars?nica spray would be made with either on pound of paris green or three pound of arsenate of lead to 50 gallons o water. When the combined spray i used the same quantity of arsenics should be mixed with 50 gallons c Bordeaux mixture instead of the W? ter. The danger that free arseni may burn the foliage ls lessened ani the Bordeaux mixture may conitW leaf spot and other similar disease which affect the catalpa. The spra may be applied with a small outfit fQ young trees or with a large high-po^ er machine such as is used in spraj lng high trees along city avenues. The caterpillar ia attacked by number of parasites and the entorno! ogists advise tree owners to encourag the propagation of these natural ene mies of the sphinx. One of these, i j minute four-winged, wasplike fly, lay its eggs in the sphinx caterpillar. Thi i is the same fly which attacks tobacc Various Stages of Catalpa Sphinx. and tomato hornworms. The eggs o these parasites hatch into white, mag gotlike larvae which develop in th? body of the caterpiller and then ea through its skin and spin little whit? cocoons attached to the outside of it! body. As these parasites are mostl] in evidence in September and Octobei and larpol y destroy the last gen oratio! of caterpillars, it is unwise at sucl times, especially if the white cocoon: are visible, to kill the caterpillars bj other means.
