The Playground association believes
that it is not enough simply to have
Fairgrounds, but that there should be
play teachers with experience and
personalities most effective for good
as examples in generating the high
est types of young Americans. The
association offers itself as a medium
of exchange for suggestions and in
formation. 1t proposes to study the
general plan of playground construc-
ton and administration, to perform
such experiments with new features
as seem promising and to make such
plans and schedules as may be OF
general value. The playground move
ment is already a great one, and it
seems on the eve of a new and great
expansion.-Sp kesman-Review.

wealth. To her great disappointment,
everything about the palace, even to
the rugs and furnishings. is imported
from England. She has had the great
est difficulty In making the people who
are fitting up her bungalow understand
that she wants everything Indian, not
English.
Her highness is a Brahman Of the

Miss Mclean has been permitted to
view the wondrous jewels, which are

necklaces, bracelets and anklets Of
enormous sized gems, largely dia-
monds Of the rarest purity. Her high
ness Is said to have the finest collec-

Riaht Handed and Left Leooed.

Most people would think that as man
Is, with very few exceptions, right
handed he would be ut the same time
right legged" But this is not the
case. Almost every right handed man
uses his left leg more than his right
For instance, most people find it much
more natural to 60 around circles to
the right than to the left. That Is be-
cause they start with the left leg. Be-
ing stronger, 1t is more readily brought
into action, and it is on this account
that bodies of soldiery always start to
march with the left foot Almost all
courses for foot races are made out for
running to the right, and dancers will
indorse the statement that the majority
of movements are far more easily ex.
ecuted in that direction. The left foot
is the one that is placed in the stirrup
for mounting horse. and in jumping
it is from the left foot that the athlete
takes off" Thus it will be seen, as
general rule. right handed people are
"left legged"

A WELLINGTON Ruse.

Once during the Iron Dukes cam
paign in the Pyrenees it happened that
General Picton's disposition for receiv-
ing the assault of Marshal Souit dis
pleased him. The danger threatened
from in front, and the difficulty lay in
delaying the attack until Wellington
could effect the change he wished. He
was, as usual. equal to the occasion.
Waving his hat in the air, he galloped
to the front Of the regiment as if he
meant to order charge. The whole of
Picton's line cheered tremendously. and
as the roar died away Wellington was
heard to remark half to himself:
"Soult is Il cautious commander and
will not attack in force without ascer-
tanning the meaning of these cheers.
That will leave time for the Sixth divi-
sion to come up, and we shall beat
him." This was exactly what happen
ed and Soult sustained a bloody re-
pulse where he might have won an
easy victory.

not be disputed when the matter Of

ers Is under consideration. Every
line Of printed matter about pros
pective district is read by the entire
family seeking new location. The
newspaper is one of the best mediums
Of publicity. 1t reflects the life and
character of the community in many
ways. The news and advertising
columns cannot be painted in a way
that will deceive the man looking for
a home. Every little detail has
something to do with the final decis-
ion. The local paper is a mirror OF
events in every community. 1t tells
about the churches and schools,
stores and hotels and, through its
personal mention, gives the social
and political complexion of the place.
Yes, send the local papers to the
homeseekers, and they will decide
whether to enter the community or
go elsewhere.-P.-I.

A Photoaraph Fad.

Elevators have gone out Of style.
Society's latest fancy Is for being seen
upon the stairs. The society woman,
brave in her best picture gown. stands
upon the steps. just high enough to
place her in the center of the picture.
Her gown spreads around her or else
sweeps off in becoming lines-only
this and nothing more-but it requires
a deal of study to carry OF the gown
properly.
Society women are photographed in
so many different poses that 1t is diff
fcult to find anything new. But the
staid pictures Of the winter are entire
ly novel in that they make picture In
themselves. They are artistic and very
graceful. and they possess certain
points that are novel In the photo.

The society woman who Is going to
be photographed in this manner makes
a study Of certain things in advance.
She learns how to sway her figure.
She learns to bend we'll forward and
we'll backward without losing her bal.
ance.
She learns how to walk with a staff,
for staff pictures are the vogue.
She acquires the art of turning
around while going upstairs without
tripping.
She learns to manage a very long
gown upon the staircase.
And she learns to smile as she
climbs.
The essential for stair climbing a la
mode is a very long and very hand

THE DEMAND FOR TECHNICALLY
QUALIFIED YOUNG MEN.

In view of the general impression
that the professions are greatly over
crowded, it is surprising to learn
that some of the leading railroads
OF the country are finding much diff
ficulty in securing properly qualified
young men to fill subordinate posi-
tions on the engineering staff. One
road in particular has recently gone
SO far as to make the fact known in
the public press, and to invite COM
munication from young men who
have passed through technical schools,
and possess the necessary qualifica-
lions to enable them to commence
work as rodmen and chainmen, or do
the simpler instrumental work con-
nected with the construction and
maintenance of railroads. 1t was fur
Their stated that the remuneration
would be sufficient to enable these
men to maintain themselves at once
in decency and comfort, and that for
those who showed aptitude and appli-
cation there was reasonable eXpec-
tatiOn of early promotion. Further
evidence of the excellent opening
afforded by the present industrial &C
tivity is found in the fact that, in one
of the leading technical colleges of
the country, every member of the
graduating class of 1906 had secured
an appointment some months before
the close of the college year. The
demand for technically-qualified men
in railroad work has unQuestionably
been stimulated by the recognition
of the fact that the increase in the
capacity and weight of the motive
power and rolling stock, and the de-
mand for more intelligent supervis-
ion due to the introduction of electric
traction on steam roads, is rendering
it desirable that not only the engi-
neering department, but also those
which have to do with the mainten-
ance and operation of the road
should be run by men with sufficient
technical knowledge, with sufficient
training in natural science, to enable
them to exercise a more intelligent
oversight of their departments than
is possible in the case of men whose
theoretical knowledge is bounded by
the limits of a common school edu-
cation.-Soientific American.

NEED OF PUBLIC FAIRGROUNDS

With the laudable purpose of pro-
noting the vacation playground
movement throughout the United
States there has been organized in
Washington, D. c., the Playground
Association of America, with Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt as honorary
president and DR.. Luther Gulick of
New York as active president. Eff
forts will be made to secure the CO.
operation of municipal, college and
school authorities everywhere with a
view of providing for the children OF
the country beneficial outdoor amuse-
ment. The scheme is one that CON-
mends itself to all interested in the
proper development of the youth of
America.
Argument is not now needed to
convince the people of the desirability
OF establishing public Fairgrounds.
1t is still the misfortune of a number
of cities that either because en-
thusiasm in the subject has not vet
reached a proper pitch or through
lack of funds the idea has not taken
on substantial form. A beginning was
made last year on a small scale in
Spokane. but there is need for a ge1
eral taking hold of the plan in this
city. especially as the long summer
vacation will soon be at hand when
hundreds of boys and girls will be
thrown on their own resources every
day and all day long.
The Playground Association of
America was organized in Washing
ton, d. c., last summer, and il has al
ready accomplished a good deal in
several eastern cities. This summer
1t is endeavoring to extend its in
fluence. II is a strong advocate of
supervised play" for boys and girls.
The supervision does not mean the
placing of restrictions on sports or
games that will hamper or check tn .
rational evuberance of child life. but
aims at directing youthful energies
in a way that viii develop the chill
dren into intelligent. industrious,
sturdy and loyal citizens. It means

LOCAL NEWS IN ADVERTISING.

The business men of Oroville have
entered upon an active campaign of
publicity for Okanogan county. They
have organized an immigration socie-
ty and started raising funds for ad-
vertising the resources of that Sec
ton. A subscription list has been
opened and prominent merchants
headed the names with liberal dona-
tions. That causes the editor of the
Conconully Record to suggest that
portion of the money be expended
in the advertising columns of at
least one local newspaper. In sup
port of this plan the editor argues
that the claims for the advantages
offered will be strengthened and
magnified by the side-lights which a
local newspaper alone can show. The
editor says:
There will be mention of local inn
provements and happenings: John
Smith will have started his sawmill
near Kipling; Tom Johnson will be
mentioned as planting a large Or
chard near Malott; work on the Ok
anogan irrigation project will be
noted: there will be something do
ing in the Methow country, up and
down the Okanogan, on the reserva-
ton. everywhere. there will be min
ing, numbering, stock growing. horti-
culture. general farming, real estate
transfers, Improvements, immigra-
tion-in fact, mass of little incl
dents and detail that will tell more
than the most pretentious descrip-
tive article that can be written. The
side-lights will verify the claims made
for the country and relieve them Of
q suspicion OF being overdrawn.
The power Of the local press can
