periments in Recreation'
The New York board of educa-
zion has already begun the expert
mont with a number of evening
nlay.centers, some for girls and
some for boys, in the ample base
monts of school buildings that
nsed TO stand idle while the street
taught it's lessons, says Allce
katharine Fallows, in Century.
Pushing open the door into one OF
these play-centers, the visitor
meets a composite rush OF sound
like the roar of the ocean, and is
confronted by a kaleidoscope OF
humanity, which gradually re-
solves itself into the figures, long
and short, tidy and unkempt, Jew
and Gentle, of a thousand boys
gathered at long tables all up and
down the big room, playing check
ers, domiuoes, crokinole, and 9th
er harmless games. Over in a
corner few little chaps are read
ing. or. with careful thought, Sc
lecting books from a smalllibrary.
In room beyond athletic boys
in all sorts of humorous impro'
vised costumes are preparing un'
der their ddirector for a contest
with another team. Class-roomS
are occupied by Intellectual boys
in the alphabet of whose desires
A stands for American History OF
Authors Readings instead o
Amusement or Athletics.
Owing to lack of funds, play
centers are still SO few that onl
those over la, who cannot be con
manded to go to school in the day
time, are invited to attend. Blu
this class it is particularly in
portant to reach. New York, lik
most other cities, has offered for
long time evening gramms
schools, helpful and important
their way, but only attractive. I

tiOns of the street are least g
Turing. Besides these is alwa,
to be found in the crowded di
tricts a fotsam and jetsam
young population, too tired or j
different to spend the evening
work, that drifts about until
finds its kind. Then comes the S
loon or the dance-hall, hot bio
and swift purpose, and afterwa
mischief and lawlessness and t
things done that should have be
left undone.
For such the board of edu
tlon's oases of wholesome plt
open every night without mon
and without price, with no con
ton except that these who en-
must be over school age, are
Il hverance from temptation.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 15.-Cecil Da-
Wis of Cadillac. Mich, has succeeded in
ending her life after twenty-five at
tempts. Here are some of the at
tempts she made within the last three
months:
June 5-Took morphine; went to
the emergency hospital and asked to
be pumped out.
July 5-Tried to fall on dagger,
but only scratched her neck
July 30-Jumped off an open
bridge, but, finding the water too cold
for comfort, she yelled for help, which
came in time to save her life.
August 14-Took carboIic acid and
died in the emergency hospital.
Cecil was known to the police as a
suicide f1end.' She would try to
commit suicide at the slightest provo
cation.
She never tried hanging. She said
she did not like the illumina ting gas
method and only tried that once. But
carbollc acid, morphine and Iaudanum
were common poisons to her. She
came here about five years ago and
soon manifested her suicidal mania.
Usually after taking poison she would
call for the police patrol to take her
TO the hospital or would go herself to
get the poison removed. Sometimes
she was too far gone to call for help,

SUDDEN FIT OF SNEEZING
BRINGS DEATH TO Girl
Habit of Holding Pins in Mouth
Proves Fatal to New York
Candy Maker.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-A sudden
fit of sneezing to-day caused the death
of Rose Biggio. a candy-maker. The
girl was dressing at her home on
Roosevelt street, and. after the custom
of her sex, had several pins in her
mouth. Suddenly she was seized with
an irresistible desire to sneeze. With
the drawing of her breath the largest
of the pins-a. brass one with a black
-head-slipped down her throat, lodg-
ing in the trachea.
An incision was made in the girls
throat and the windpipe was opened
by the doctors, but in some manner
the pin slipped from its position and
could not be removed. A second Ope-
ration followed and the same thing Oc-
Cured again, the pin dropping still
farther down, this time into the left
lung. Oedema of the lung set in and
the girl died.
