been wonderful had all the delegates

a quorum was present and the special
business was proceeded with at once,
and that was the election of officers

industrial sections of the city.
On the return to the jefferson a
short closing session of the convention
was held. a batch of routine business
was quickly disposed of. and then the
question of the next place of meeting
came up. The delegates from Chatta-
nooga and those from Grand Rapids,
Mich, put in bids for the eighth an
nual convention. The convention could
have been happy with either If 'tother
dear chnrmer were away; but as it
was. they could not decide between
the two, and finally referred the ques-
tion of the next meeting place To the
executive committee, with Instructions
to report within the next six months.
The convention adjourned to meet one
year hence at such place as the eX-
ecutive committee may select.
Most of the delegates left the city at

Committees from tho Mothers CLUB
spent yesterday at the ,threa newspa-
per offices distributing the slips for
making "a foot of pennies" Hun
dreds of these slips were given out
during the day. and some have already
been completely filed and turned in.
The ladies in charge of the movement
estimated that the work which they
had projected for this summer. the

pennies $3.50 feet, the equivalent OF
some $40.
Quite a. number Of cash contribu-
lions were handed to the ladies of the
committee, one gentleman coming to
The Times-Dispatch Office and tender
ing q So bill, saying that he "had
neither name nor address, but had a
great big heart for tho children"
A touching incident of the afternoon
was the arrival at The Times-Dis-
patch office of delegation of children
from Barton Heights. who came to get
cards. each promising to turn In a

little people OF the suburban town
seemed to so greatly appreciate their
privilege in living in the open country
that they felt that they must help on
the fresh-air movement for the chill
dren Of the city.
A committee from tho Federation of
Mothers Clubs appeared before the
City School Board last night to ask
for the use Of the yards of Central and
Elba schools for experiments in play
grounds this summer. The members
Of the board expressed the greatest in
terest in the movement. The plan
was presented by Mrs. Lindsay. presi-
dent of the Federation of Mothers
Clubs. in a graceful speech. "A num-
Der of the members of the board ex-
pressed their interest in tho matter,
several suggesting that the ladies also
have the use of some Of the large base
ment rooms of the school buildings for
rainy days. The board then went into
executive session, and will formally
advise the ladies OF their action.
Tho interest both of the authorities
and the public in the matter seems to
be general, and the ladies are hop
ing to give at the three school houses q
sort of object lesson this summer as
to what can be done along this line by
the cooperation of all parties.

CLEAN MACHINERY.

Every man who knows anything
about it win say that machinery must
be kept clean If the hes, worl, is
expected from 1t. Exactly the same
is true of the machinery of the body,
which can do its work properly only
when kept clear of clogging accumula-
tions. The bodily machinery of the
human being is clogged when there Is
constipation. and this can be perma-
nently cured and prevented from be-
coming chronic only by restoring the
strength OF weakened muscles E%pe-

best be done by the use, until there

The Council Committee on Grounds

recommended to the Council u resolu-
ton appropriating $4,000. or 80 much
thereof as may be necessary, for the
completion of the city Auditorium, at
Linden and Cary Streets. and tho i'm
provement OF the acoustics of the hall.
This action by the committee. without
a dissentin voice. Is significant. in
view OF the opposition to any expendi-
ture for the conversion of the build
ing originally.
The improvements to the building
are to" be along plans OF the Engi-
neer's Department. They embrace the
putting in OF a wooden ceiling beneath
the high metal roof. grating ovcr the
windows. improvements to tho win
dows, and finally q steam heating ap-
paratus. Other minor improvements
are embraced in the plans
Altogether, the additions and i'm
provements will greatly increase the
value of the largo structure as an
auditorium.
May Have Wooden Floors.
It IS also suggested that n wooden
floor be placed upon the concrete floor
and upon the large rostrum. Authors
ties on acoustics are agreed that con-
crete or cement floors detract, very
much from the acoustics. of q large
hall.
Tho improvements recommended TO
the Council We're suggested by the
subcommittee. consisting of Alderman
Burton and Councilmen Green and At
kinson.
The Grounds and Buildings Commits
tee also opened bids for fuel for the
department and awarded contracts
therefor as follows: For furnishing
from GOO to 1000 tons OF run of-mine

Halves & Co., at their bid OF $40 per
ton of 1000 pounds. and to the same
firm for sawed oak. sawed Pine and
kindlins,wood. at 81 per cord.
BY far the greater quantity OF the
coal used by tho department is the
cheaper grade. known as run of mine,
lump.
To Choose Site for Fountain.
The committee received from the
Council the proposition of the National
Humane Society to present to the city
q handsome stone drinking fountain.
