Professor Rrutt's recently cUsnpleted
equestrian statue to Karl Alexander at
Weimar looked too new to suit the
sculptor after it. had been unveiled.
and in order to give the work dignity
it was subjected to patina process
When this was completed the statue
was. according 20 Berlin paper. a

caused much merriment. The seulp-
tor set men to work taking OF what
they had put on. and at the end Of the
day the statue became n bright metal

the town authorities had placard fas-

Arrests were made forthwith, and the
prosecuting attorney decided that trials
should be held Immediately. No time is
lost in these matters in Progress City.
DR.. Bushnell thinks some real cities might
take notice and profit by the example.
With due ceremony Of judge, jury. clerk
and council for both sides the trials were
held according to the laws of the city. The
offenders were not only convicted, but
prompt punishment was meted out in the
form of banishment from the community
for three and five days, respectively.
The subject Of public Fairgrounds for
children has been studied by DR.. Bushnell
from beginning to end. He says they are
increasing in number in this country by
great strides and also in quality. The per-
centage Of increase in twenty-four Of the
largest cities has been nearly 100 for those
in connection with public schools alone.
These are more than Fairgrounds in
the sense Of recreation centers, said the
director Of Progress City. Properly under
stood, they are schools of citizenship and
important social centers for the whole COM
munty life. The recognition of the civic
importance of providing adequate facilities
for the normal, healthy use Of leisure Is the
secret Of the movement.

THE action which has probably had the
most influence on the movement this year
has been the playground plan for this CITY,
drawn up last year at the organization
meeting Of the Playground Association OF
America. This plan aims to distribute play
grounds regularly throughout the District;
to provide thirty square feet OF school
playground for each child connected with
the school; an outdoor playground of not
less than two acres for each school dis
trict. and an athletic field for each of the
four sections of the city. The plan has been
adopted by the Commissioners and by the
board of education. President Roosevelt s
letter of commendation Of the movement
has done much to advance it,
well ordered Fairgrounds are absolutely
essential to the perpetuation of true de-
mocracy under modern city conditions.
Here, where games are carried on In iree
association, according to rules publciy
agreed upon, are to be found as nowhere
else the conditions for developing true sell
control and broad cooperative, generous
public spirit, without which any repuoiic
must cease to exist

to himself he explained the organization of
the city"
In the first place, there are two wards,
one for boys and one for girls. The gen.
eral government consists of the following:
A general assembly of all 'citizens,
both boys and girls, between the ages of
eight and sixteen years, which meets once
each week in the big play round pavilion.
Here are discussed all subjects Of public
concern. and all public officers are elected
except the two directors
A mayor. who presdes over all meetings
of the assembly and of the city council and
acts as chief referee for all games.
A city clerk. who keeps the records of the
assembly, council and court.
A Judge, who presides over the court.
a city attorney, who presents the cases
against offenders to the court.
The referees and captains of the athletic
teams.
\ city council, composed of the referees
and captains. which body has made COM

blue optimist
The opening of the public Fairgrounds in
our great and fast-growing cities" he said
to The Star reporter, 'is the first historic
recognition of the citizenship of the chill
dren. Heretofore our cities have been con-
Quoted almost exclusively for grown-ups.
At this playground one can see every morn
ing and evening this recognition going on.
Between 800 and coo children play here at
one time, and besides they come pretty
close to running their own affairs, under
the orderly guidance of the directors
Probably the most interesting part of the
governing machine Of the city is the
court. One reason trial is SO interesting
is it's rarity, for Progress City is mighty
orderly community. There have been only
two trials this season, and both resulted
in conviction.
A couple of weeks ago there was an un-
usual disturbance in the general assembly
during the discussion of some highly i'm
portant public matter. Timmie Mulligan
had been heard by one Of the referees to
swear, and Artie Bosenbrank had inter-
rupted the mayor by shouting his dsap-
proval of one of that officials policies

defense from among any of the available
"citiZens or officers.
The athletic teams are largely selfgov-
erning aside from the general supervision
Of the directors and the referees appointed
by them. The teams now number about
forty. They select their own captains
Each referee has a book in which he keeps
the hour in which each team in his charge
is allowed to use the grounds, and in this
book are recorded for each game the names
of the players and the scores made.
A general record of the teams is also
kept by the directors. In this way an
effort is made to get all of the children
coming to the playground on some team,
and to find those most proficient in differ
ent games and pursuits in distinction from
those who need coaching.
The special work Of Mrs. Bushnell is the
training of the girls teams, the conducting
of classes in basketmaking, working with
raffia, crocheting and supervising the play
of the very little children.

A person born in
January cannot agree with one born in July.
February cannot agree with one born in August.
March cannot agree with one born in September.
April cannot agree with one born in October.
May cannot with one born in November.
June cannot agree with one born in December.
These are the conclusions to be drawn
from the knowledge and experience of as
trologers.
Apparently you might well link cat and
dog together as join in marriage two per-
sons born in opposing months.
Better to avoid or break off an engage
ment than to link yourself in partnership
