LACK OF PARKS SOCIAL PROBLEM FOR BIG CITIES

By KENNETH CLARK 1. N. S. Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—The lack of adequate park and recreation facilities for the millions of persons herded in American cities has become a serious social problem, according to a survey of the Bureau of I«ibor statistics of the Labor Department. During the rapid industrialization and commercial expansion in the United States since the turn of the century, many of the larger cities have failed to keep pace in providing playgrounds and outdoor recreation centers for the heavy influx of workmen in their borders. Department officials regard parks as essential to the preservation of health and contentment of the citizens. Outlying Darks The two largest cities, New York and Chicago, are attempting to meet the problem by acquiring vast tracts of land lying outside the city limits. These are easily accessible by automobile and car. Several States have also set aside public preserves. New York has one acre of public parks to every 553 inhabitants, and Chicago one to 602, based on the 1920 census, New Jersey cities have lagged farthest behind. Newark has one acre to 14,423 persons, Jersey City, one to 3,470 and Elizabeth, one to 2,903. Cities which have one acre of parks or playgrounds to each 100 persons or less include: Minneapolis, Denver, Dallas, Houston, Springfield, Mass., Salt l^ike City, Fort Worth, Spokane, Oklahoma City, East St. l<ouis, Sacramento. Kansas City, Springfield, 111., Davenport, la., Lincoln, Neb., Peoria, III., Tampa, Fla., Bayonne, N. J., Tulsa, Okla., and Sioux City, la. With the exception of Denver, which owns more than 10,000 acres in mountain parks outside the city limits, and Dallas, which has 3,144 of its 3,898.5 acres outside the city, Minneapolis leads ail cities of more than 100,000 population in the percentage of park acreage to the total city acreage. Approximately 14 per cent of the area of Minneapolis is in park property, or one acre to every 8? persons. Park Statistics The ten cities following New York and Chicago in size have the following number of persons to each acre of parks: Philadelphia, 234: Detroit, 266; Cleveland, 359; St. Louis, 268; Boston, 284; Baltimore, 255; Pittsburgh, 370; I-os Angeles, 118; Buffalo, 317; San Francisco, 200. Others include: Milwaukee, 457; Cincinnati, 148; New Orleans, 205; Washington, 128; Indianapolis, 122; Toledo, 153; Columbus, 374; Akron, 434; Atlanta 182; Omaha, 143; Dayton, 291: Dao Moines, 114; Albany, 352; Erie, 439; and South Bend, Ind., 139.

BANKERS TO MEET GARY, Ind., Sept. 1.—(INS)—The annual convention of the Indiana Bankers’ Association will be held at Gary, Ind., September 19 to 21. The meetings will be at the Hotel Gary. Principal speakers will include Roy A. Young, governor of the federal reserve hoard, Washington, D. C. Dan V’. Stephens of Fremont, Neb., and Thornton Cook of Kansas City. One of the features of the program will be a trip through the Gary steel mills.

But Bert Thurman, first assistant to Jim Watson, told the Republican editors the other day that they had nothing to be ashamed of. Well, some of them haven’t. They have been fight ing the Jackson crowd for the past two years and are proud of it. And Pert had his fingers crossed when he said what he did, and the newspaper boys knew it.—Bluff ton Banner. Mr. William Alien White has buried his liberalism in a mass of words to rationalize his prejudice. On the wet and dry issue, the Republican party is facing both ways. Iii the East it talks wet. In the West, it i- as dry as the Arizona desert.— Goshen Democrat. TAMMANY can carry no treat to Indiana voters so long as Stephensonism is so firmly entrenched here. —Tippecanoe County Democrat. ■ Speaking of putting Hoover’s picture in the kitchen, isn’t Governor Smith making it hot enough for him without hanging his likeness over the cook-stove ?—Cannelton Telephone. Chairman Rogers, of the State Republican committee Has issued a set o* rules for the campaign in Indian*. One is that “no intoxicating liquor shall be permitted about the headquarters.” You may draw your own conclusions.—Princeton Daily Democrat. At the time the Indiana Republican paper? were saying that "no man who lived at Red Gate, England, for twenty years can ever occupy the White IIcusc at Washington.” Candidate for Governor Harry Leslie had not discovered that “Herbert Hoover is the greatest man since Abraham Lincoln.” In fact, it was at that period of his political career that Mr. Leslie was reported as making a “wry face” at the mention of Hoover's name. Tippecanoe County Demociat. Since the Democratic primaries In Texas, Republican managers are quite u.ianimous in saying that ticLone Star state never is meant in the talk'ng about breaking the solid south.— Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette. “I expect,” says Abe Martin In the Indianapolis News, “a lot o' the New York night clubs would have t’ close up if it wuzn’ for th’ patronage o’ the dry sleuths.” Five million men out of work is the present record of Republican prosperity, says Albert Stump. There goes another prop in that acceptance talk of Mr. Hoover,—The Shelbyville Democrat. The people of Indiana have ohove all things to determine whether or not their state is to go on accumulating dirt or have a cleaning. This campaign means just that.—Tippecanoe County Democrat. Republican newspapers can find no flaw in Hoover’s speech of acceptance. He could have taken the opposite staml on every question and the approbation would have been just as frantic.—Goshen Dealy Democrat.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 3.—What amounts to a blacklist of all but i eighty-nine of the colleges and uni-j versity in America was adopted by a practically unanimous vote of the | delegates to the seventy-second annual national convention of Theta Chi Fraternity in the Hotel Lincoln yesterday. The fraternity, which now ha?j forty-five chapters, voted to limit thoi number forever to seventy-five, and! then adopted a list of forty-four j schools which alone are declared eligible sites for the possible thirty new chapters. The places where chapters exist were given automatic approval. Thus about 85 per cent of the institutions of higher learning in America were placed beyond the pale so far as Theta Chi is concerned. The ^fraternity, founded in 1856, has more than eight thousand memlors. More than two hundred and fifty delegates were at the convention. In Indiana, Purdue and Indiana universities already have chapters; DoPauw university was the only Indiana school on the approved list. To be eligible, a school must he approved by the Association of American Universities; have a male undergraduate enrollment of five hundred or more; he in the United States, and permit fraternities to maintain on its campus houses in which the members eat and live. Frank B. Schrenk of Philadelphia, Pa., was elected national president and James G. Lewis of New York national vice president.
