Superseded

The personal bondsman is fast
becoming obsolete the risk to pri.
vate fortune is too great.
The corporate bond is just as rap.
idly supplanting the old form and,
in time, men will marvel that they
were ever called upon to incur the
danger of personal suretyship.
In point of safety, convenience and
propriety, there can be no COM
parison between the two; the one
is just as weak and perilous as the
other is strong and safe.
The time is near when il will be
thought as reasonable to borrow
the key of a friends safe as TO
borrow his name for surety pur-
poses.

western colleges in adopting socker or
association football in place of the
regulation game played for years. The
initial steps were taken at meeting
of the Knox College Athletic associa-
ton, where the subject was thorough
ly discussed by members of the facul-
ty and the athletic team. The leading
members of the football team advocat-

President McClelland. who is an adj
mirer of the association game, an
nounced his hearty sympathy with the
change and said he had received let
tiers from other western colleges rela-
tive to such a movement. He felt that
if Knox took the step other colleges
of the west would soon follow. He be-
lieved that parents who had sons in
college would be greatly pleased if the
socker game were adopted He would.
he said, be very proud to have the
college adopt this type of football, in
asmuch as it limited the dangers of

days, introduce in the legislature bill d.
recting the county commissioners TO issue
bonds In the amount of $4,000 for the cone
struction of a pike from Potomac to the
Conduit road. along what is known as the
"Old Persimmon road" This IS one OF tina
most frequently travelled thoroughfares In
the county, and If improved In the manner
suggested would give a splendid road from
Potomac to Washington city, a distance Of
about twenty miles. In order to meet the
expense of this work, the proposition is for
a special tax OF 2 cents on each 500 worth
of assessed property to be levied against
property owners of Potomac and Darnes-
town districts and a portion of Gathers
burg district. the residents of these LOCALE
ties being the ones TO be most benefited
by such pike. 1t would also. ii is thought,
necessitate an increase of about l cent in
the general tax rate.

PUBLIC FAIRGROUNDS.
Plans Discussed at Meeting of the
Committee

The public Fairgrounds committee which
is connected with the Associated Charities
OF the District of Columbia, held meeting
last evening at the headquarters of the
committee and discussed resolutions en-
bodied in the annual appropriation bill of
the District, asking Congress to appro-
pirate $4,000 for use during the current
year for the support and maintenance of
Fairgrounds and s65. coo for the purchase
of a site and the construction of a build
ing to be used in connection with public
Fairgrounds The matter was carefully
gone over and 1t was suggested that a COM
mittee be appointed to appear before Con-
gress to urge the appropriations. It was
also decided that resolutions outlining and
explaining the purposes in view should be
presented to Congress.
The committee voted in favor of the an
rointment of q committee of citizens to
draw up definite plans for a parking sys-
TEN for Washington. Reference was mde
to the fact that such a system is in vogue
in Boston. The body also authorized the
appointment of committee to draw up
a statement showing the desirability of
having at least thirty square feet of play
ground for every scholar in all of the new
schools to be established In the city. The
statement is to be presented TO the board
o. education, the District Commissioners
the school committee of the Board of Trade
and the school committee of the Business
Mems Association.
Reference was made to the coming con-
vention of the National Fairgrounds Asso-
citation, which will be held in this city April
Il. 13 and H. 1t will be the occasion of a
gathering of many OF the prominent work
ers in this field from all over the country.
Regarding the playground movement. it
is stated that one of Its chief sources was
the congress OF hygiene and tuberculosis
held in Germany during the past fifteen or
eighteen years. These congresses have em-
phaszed that the only way to health is 4
vigorous life in the open air.
For every man the problem of health is
| twofold. it Is said 1t consists OF the avoid
ance of disease on the one hand, and hav-
| ing fund of vitality to throw 1t off on the
o,ler The main source of this vigor lies
| in a strong heart and lungs and good
| digestion and this action mainly depend
ent on life In the open air.

If stoppage occurs for any reason the
