After Years of Activity
JARRQW , Eng., Apr. 2.7—Tins once |
great industrial town on the Tyne,j
where it was scarcely possible to
hear anyone speak for the clanging
of hammers and pneumatic rivetters,
has fallen on evil days and some
thing like gloom overhangs the
place.
Famous years ago for its ship
building and steel works, turning
out millions of pounds worth of ships
and material, today 5,700 workers out
of a population of 36,000, are draw
ing the dole; there is only one ship
on the stocks of the great yards, and 1
many furnaces have been closed
down for three years. Lack of trade
shortage of money and lessened de
mand for war vessels and armaments
are mainly responsible for the pres
ent depression.
Drs. Blodgett and Hodgins of
Honolulu restored a Portuguese in

after the child was apparently dead.
At last report the little patient had

NEW PARK PROJECTS
RAPIDLY FIND FAVOR
IN SOUTHERN STATES
WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 2.—
Interest in the acquisition and de
velopment of state park systems has
increased greatly in the south dur
ing the past year, according to ob
servation made in a survey of state
parks throughout the country, now
under way for the National Confer
ence on State Parks by its field sec
retary, Raymond H. Torrey.
This survey \Vas begun in the
south because of the desire of John
Barton Payne, chairman of the con
ference, formerly secretary of the
interior and now head of the Amer
ican Red Cross, to encourage several
promising movements in the direc
tion of initiating state park system.
The lead in state park acquisition
and improvement for public recrea
tion has been taken by Texas which,
within a little over a year, has
moved to a position up among the
leading states in this respect. A to
tal of 51 tracts of land, containing
30,000 acres, has been donated Im
park purposes, and another gift
of 25,000 acres in the Guadalupe
Mountains is expected within the
year.
The progress made in Texas in
terested governors of other states to
whom it was explained by Mr. Tor
rey in the course of his survey. Gov.
Brandon of Alabama immediately
appointed a committee of public
spirited citizens to study a park
plan and to report to him so that
he may recommend a law at the i
next session of the legislature. One
of the resources in Alabama that
might be used for conservational or
recreational development is school
lands. These are very extensive and
might be devoted to such purposes
without prejudice to any income they
bring the schools.
Governor Fuqua of Louisiana said
he would be inclined to favor a bill
establishing a commission. to solicit
gifts such as in Texas, and such a
measure will be introduced at ihe
next session by the Louisiana State
Parks Association. Governor Whit
field of Mississippi is studying a con
servation program, with considera
tion for recreation and with parti
cular reference to transfer of school
lands for the purpose. Governor
Walker of Georgia was interested
in the Texas plan of creating a board
to solicit gifts of lands for state
parks, as offering the possibility of
a forestry and recreation program
for his state. The Georgia Fores

In Florida, where the State Fed
eration of Woman’s clubs has been
chiefly responsible for the acquisi
tion of such state parks as now ex
ist, there is a strong movement for
a definite policy of increase in such
facilities, either in connection with
a forestry commission or as a sep
arate body.
Tennessee is interested in the pos
sibility of a national park in the
Great Smokies on its eastern border,
but is also planning state parks, an
important unit of which would be
the shore of Reelfoot Lake, the wa
ter surface of which the state now
owns.
North Carolina has lately added to
its state parks a fine beach property
of 400 acres near Beaufort, which
was transferred to the state without
cost by the United States war de
partment. Opportunities for the ac
quisition of a large number of these
surplus military reservations, in the
Atlantic coast and Gulf states, which
the war department desires to sell,
are nowT open.
