Proposed International Park

Minneapolis, Minn.—An area of lake and forest four times larger than Yellowstone National park and lying in the heart of the continent among the border takes of Ontario and Minnesota will be dedicated for all time to a manysided and far-reaching project of conservation if the conserva tionists of Canada and the United States have their way. It is proposed to Sit aside by treaty under a uniform policy of balanced forestry administration some 10.IKMUMM) acres of forest lands which, it is estimated, contain

SIDE-TRACKED § I | | By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK 8 5 Dean of Men, University of 5 S Illinois. & The information office had told us when we were leaving Lausanne that the train we

were taking was a through train for Paris and that we should not have to change until we reached our destination. We got along quite satisfactorily until we reached Dijon, and then so met hing ap

peared to hap pen. We were run off onto a siding and there we stood. No one offered any information, and we were finally awakened to the fact that we were

the only passengers left in the car riage. We got off to reconnoiter, and from the guard at the station, after having pretty completely exhausted our stock of French phrases, we dis covered that we were sidetracked for the day and that there was no other train leaving Dijon for Paris until the next morning. We were in a predicament; we had little ready money, and there seemed no easy way for us to get more. We should miss our connection in Paris, and our friends at the other end ot the line would he annoyed and disappointed, but there was little we could do. We’d got a wrong start; we had been sidetracked. and the only thing we could do was to make the best of it. Next time we should get more accurate in formation. It is not an uncommon thing for men starting out on the journey of life to get side-tracked, and once on the siding it is sometimes difficult or Impossible to get off again. Glasgow hail great prospects as a preacher. He had a commanding physique, an appealing personality, and a most thorough intellectual training. He married a woman of

fine character and with unusual ini tiative, and it looked at the outset as if they were on the through train for power and influence in the com munity in which they established themselves. But Glasgow had scarce ly started until he became sidetracked. He lost sight of the great principles of religion which make for better influence and better living and centered his attention upon the petty details ot dogma, upon the unimpdr tant differences which separate sects. j An.v summer girl is willing to compro raise by returning the young man’s heart and keeping the ring. and gave all his energies to the em phasis of these tilings and he lost entirely the power and the Influence which he might have exercised In stead of being on the main line he spent his life puffing up and down a

side track. Bower is side-tracked. He had a chance twenty years ago with a firm in which rhe greatest possibilities were open to him. But the salary was small and Bower wanted to make money at Die outset. There was a j girl he wanted to marry, and he could not wait. So he went with a smaller and less significant firm where the salary at the tieginning was larger and the prospect of advancement less bright. That was a good many years ago. and Bower is making little more today than he was when fie started ami he is too old to change. He is permanently side-tracked. <©. 1929. W’estern Newspaper Union.)

“ Skyscrapers” at Limit?

New York. —Where lOO.(XK) men once spent 20 years building a pyramid for the Pharaohs, a thousand men now rear a modern skyscraper 50 stories into Ilie air In a single year. But where the Pharaohs raised their monuments to stand for all time, the life of the modern monument to commerce is fixed at 25 years. Children who watch these lofty towers reaching toward the sky today in New York, Chicago and a score of other cities will, as middle-aged adults, see them leveled again. The explanation is that the average skyscraper is being built compar atively as cheaply as a subdivision bungalow because the builder cannot afford to take chances on the course of rapidly changing land values as the American city changes its course of growth, points out Silas Bent in World's Work. They cannot risk sinking a fortune in a giant office structure only to find that within 10 or 15 years the district has changed

It is associated with the Izaak Wal ton League of America and is known as the Qnetico Superior council, with headquarters in Minneapolis. The name merely emphasizes its interna tional character, being derived from the two forest preserves established in the region twenty years ago—the Quetico provincial park in Ontario and Superior national forest in Minne Sota. The council Is a temporary in ternational body for mustering the support and directing the efforts of all individuals and societies in both countries, who are interested in its purposes. The council also has announced a list of ten honorary vice presidents, as follows: Dan Beard, national scout commis stoner; Anna Botsford Comstock, pro fessor emeritus of nature study.

from a commercial one to a manu- I factoring center. They also cannot I risk encumbering land that may rise ] many times in value with a building < that may be antiquated within a decade. Whether the 75-story skyscraper soon to be erected in Chicago will mark the ultimate in lofty construction. or whether it will be surpassed by a lid story tower projected in New York and by others still higher. Is a problem interestingly discussed by Mr. Bent. While theoretically there Is no limit to which builders may not aspire today, there is a rigid economic limit at which such buildings cease to be profitable, he shows. And the limit is due Io one of the chief factors that imide the skyscraper possible—the elevator. “The taller the building, the greater must be the number of elevators to accommodate the tenants.” he points out in the World’s Work article. “Now where ground rentals are enormous ttie space given over to elevators becomes an Item of moment. In cities of a million population It is calculated that the 20 stoty building is about as lofty as is consistent with economic construction. Only where land values are abnormal, or where there is exceptional advertising value in mere height, are more stories Justified.” A building so high that ft must give a third or half of its ground space over to elevator shafts would necessarily be far more costly than one only two thirds as high, and not as profitable, be shows.

Large dunes along the shores of the Great Lakes, heretofore protected by heavy vegetation, are being literally transferred to other localities by action of the lake winds, it has been found. This is caused by removal of forest growth to make way for sum mer homes. Once a "blowout” as these shiftings are termed, is started, nothing has been discovered that will stop it, ami thousands of dollars worth of property is endangered by the movement. Development along the lakes fur nishes Michigan with one of its most profitable industries —tourist trade—and the problem is being attacked with the idea in mind that such development must not be interfered with Go-operation of the geological divi sion of the University of Michigan has been enlisted in rhe campaign to prevent the dune blowouts.
