Its bigger brothers could laugh off the mention of Bryce as easily as a physician of forty years ago could have passed by the name of Rochester, Minn.

The park hasnt even a ranger, except the two temporarily employed In the summer one to give hikes and lectures, and the other to be policeman for visiting automobile traffic (and to shoo the neighboring ranchers live stock home occasionally) ! But in spite of these small beginnings, this toddling tot of the park system is dreaming big dreams. Why? Because the place has not only beauty but a fascinating Individuality, too; also a touch of drama.

At any rate, the young girl of today seems to think and do everything but housework. She leaves that to mother. Not long ago, I was instrumental in helping a young girl get a start In life and shortly after, when I met her on the street, I asked her how things were going at home. Oh, Just fine! she cried. Why, just think, last week I was able to buy mother a nice vacuum cleaner. That was very thoughtful of you.' Yes, I guess it was.

The nation Is fortunate In that' its two newest parks, Bryce canyon and the Teton playground, are of such superlative individuality and therefore of national appeal. There are three or four parks in the system already, unfortunately, which seem to have only a nominal and therefore regrettable claim to that distinction; and congress Is constantly besieged with additional demands for park creation which would flatter local prides but which reflect little If any reason for national attention or expenditure. Make state parks out of them, a thousand times yes; and some, like Carlsbad or Mammoth caves or the Great Smoky mountain region, might presumably sit unabashed in the same distinguished family circle with Yellowstone or Bryce or Yosemite or the Grand canyon; but as for the purely local proteges, heres hoping for statesmen with the courage to forget them! But back to Bryce.
