EL PASO HERALD EDITORIAL and MAGAZINE PAGE Wednesday, Aug. 4, 1920. EL PASO CENTRAL PARK PLAN IS SUSPENDED, INQUIRIES continue to come in as to the status of the proposed Urge central park and playground, which has been projected. The plan involves the purchase of several hundred acres by the city, to the east of the high school and including part of the mountain, and an extensive area of rolling and level land, all in one compact block. The plan is a good one, and trill be carried out if the people show that they want it. d central park and playground is leaHyJi anytog eactly lite it? raeemphitie repudiation of be easfly to frLry part of ttelBjto b, to DcU of o ho to- and The proposed central: it will b city by electric lines and good streets. It is a "necessary development of the seesfe park and scenic drive which are 1 o make the mesa and moHntain useful for the recreation of :he people. There will be room in the proposed central park for all the larger recreational facilities of a great city. The present city administration has committed itself to be purchase of the park site, conditional on the taxpayers approving the purchase next winter when the new budget, raluations, and tax rate will be under consideration. If a ond issue is found necessary it win be submitted to the vote of the people. The city administration is favorable, nt the taxpayers mast provide the funds. The park site is for many reasons the best that is now available or that will ever, in an probability, become avail able for such a purpose. Nowhere else can so large a body of land so centrally situated be bought in one block .at terms so reasonable. To let the opportunity slip by -now would be a great wrong to the people who live here now, but a greater wrong to the dtuens sf the future. "We who live here now and direct the city's destinies possess the power to block forever this or any other desirable improve ment plan. And we also possess the power to insure the future city in the possession of a public asset valuable beyond all price. The central park plan is suspended until next fall, but it is alive; the necessary options are in hand, and plans are making to use the park when it is acquired. The main thing at present is to acquire title to the site. It is not necessary to figure on spending large sums at first in improvement work. As time goes by and the city grows, new needs will be met as they develop. There is no limit to what can be done with such a magnificent park site as this win be; but its fuU utilization may properly be left to later years. Our first duty ana our great oppor tunity is to acquire the site and dedicate it to the people forever for their pleasure. Vnch smaller cities t7i ours have need of extensive recreation grounds and have made costly provision for them, which however they regard as a profit able investment and not as an expense. The little city of Brookline, Mass, spent $500,000 for its playground, spent more to equip it, and spends over $7000 a year to TnaintaiTi it- RtchDurg, mass, spends siuuu a year on its play grounds. Hewton, Haas, a small residence city, spends $25,000 a year on its playgrounds for supervision, maintenance, and equipment. So wen do its citizens appreciate the value of playgrounds that last year public spirited citizens donated a new playground worth $125,000 to the city. East Orange, If. J, another small residence city, recently spent 513,000 on playground equipment, and votes $3500 per year for upkeep, but the mayor reports that this item of expense is "the only thing taxpayers never complain about." Orange, N. J, has put $25,000 into playground equipment; Poughkeepsie, K. T, $30,000; Fresno, CaL, $17,500; WaKhara, Mais, $8000; Kenosha, Wise, $5000; and so the story goes the small cities are doing more in proportion " many larger places like El Paso. The an nual maintenance costs of many thousands of dollars are cheerfuUy met. There are no more worthy improvement projects ahead WhenHerldea'Boomed' I Anna Made A Fortune I By FRANCES L.

Texas Curiosities TK ALL the history of American politics was there ever county," who by resolution in convention assembled declare that the candidate for governor is not a citizen of his own "home town and county," not eligible to be governor, and in primaries or elections in the state rule. Ifext thing they will be saying he is running under an assumed name. The men who hounded Bailey into political oblivion a few years ago are shouting for him now. And the Demo crats who so warmly endorsed the Wilson administration are supporting the man who has been its bitterest critic and opponent. A few days before the recent primary, a clergyman of Paris, Texas, issued a statement through the newspapers in which he said that he had been supporting a certain candi date "but recent developments prove conclusively that he cannot be nominated." He therefore announced that he had decided to cast his vote for another of the candidates, "since from every corner of the state have come reports to me that clearly lead me to believe that he win lead in the first primary and wUl be the undoubted victor in the second." It is seldom that a man states so unequivocally the reasons for the faith that is in him, or the excuse for his principles. The idea that a man win switch his vote and allegiance over night to get on the winning side is not new in politics, even in Texas politics and even in Democratic politics, but eeaerally the man who switches wfll camouflage the real .... , that .Bailey is developing lnoicates inat the factional divisions in the Texas Democracy are deeper i.n anybody had thought If s anything for a change. If he becomes governor, one tmng is sure, tnere wui ix name news in the paper under an Austin date line almost every day. There never was anv doubt about Bailey's size, the caliber of his bore; tie only thing that makes people resort tn the ctriia board is to know in what direction he is pointed. o For many years the Germans sang: "Who'll watch the German Ehine?" They now have their answer. o The young " with a little money to invest win be wise if he puts it into El Paso real estate.

He wanted to surprise her. For over a week Uncle Wiggily went every day and helped the father robin keep the eggs warm and then, one afternoon, all of a sudden, there came a little peeping In the nest, something stirred under Uncle Wlgglly"s fur, and out came the baby robins! Yes, really! Oh, you're not our mother!" they chirped, when, a little later, their eyes opened and they looked at the bunny. "No, your mother is lost, I guess sadly said Daddy Robin, who flew to the nest just then. "No. she Isn't! Here I am." Joyfully sang the mother robin. I hurt my wing, and could not fly back until just now, and I have been worried very much about my family. But 1 am so glad Uncle WJggily hatched out my little birds!" -so am lt lauchea the bunny, as he climbed down out of the nest. So everything came out all right, and if the hammer doesn't pull all the teeth out of the saw, so it can't chew some shavings off the lollypop stick, I'll tell you next about Uncle Wiggily and the box.

But this should not be an argument In such western scenes as need a desert background, or on Indoor pic tures. The visibility In this district is unusually fine and I am told that motion pictnre photography could be at Its best here, we have an ex cellent climate with probably more sunsalny days than any city where picture are made. I should think that the chamber of commerce could give this business a little attention and possibly induce some producers to make their pictures here. They would stand a good chance, at least, because most of the things the local chamber of commerce goes after it gets."

"Mr esti mate, of course, is largely based on tne zormation or lasting peace in Mexico and the establishment of trade relations, something, I believe, that is much closer than most people Imagine. Without such peace, El Paso will con tinue to grow, drawing from a trade territory which extends from 600 to 800 miles in all directions.

Keep Your Figure Young - B7EDirAKEirTF0EBEs TUB one bit of advice that the woman of 20 or over needs mors than anything; else Is advice on keeping her figure youthful and trim. Thirty Is the danger line for the feminine figure. If it is going to get fat it is moat apt to do so thsn , And if it isn't. SO is the age when it begins to look "settled." and that is as fatal to the food looks of the figure as SO unnecessary pounds : would be. i There is only one way to keep the figure youthful and that is to keep it active. You wfll notice, if you study ' your young' friends, that their figures seem to have a great deal of resili ency. The lines are all lines of ac tion. There is a certain swing- and sway to their bodies which you will not see In an old woman. One series of motions seems to melt into the 'next. There is not the Jerklnesa nor awkwardness that comes when the figure has settled down. One of the most wonderful exer cises known to keep the figure youthful and trim Is as follows Stand In some loose garment, with out corsets on. and raise the hands above the head. Bend over, keeping the knees straight, and touch the floor with the finger tips. It is easi est and best to do this with low heeled shoes on or when you are in your stocking feet. If rou need this exercise you will probably feel a dls- ' tinct puu ajong- tne muscies osck 01 the knee. However, if you continue with the exercise. In a few days yon will have so strengthened these mus cles that you will not feel this pull. In anv event, von should do this once every day, touching the floor about i 10 times.
