FUMIGATING RICE
BEFORE SHIPMENT

All rice arriving here now from ia
pan is being landed in first-class condi-
ton, a policy of fumigating it before
shipment having recently been put into
effect. This is due to the representa-,
tiOns made to the Japanese shipper by
Takakuwa and Yonekura, two Hawai-
ian importers who have recently visited
Japan. 1t was shown that it was bet
ter to have the work of fumigation
done at the shipping point by the ship
pers than after it had arrived here and
turned over to the local authorities, the
result being the erection of fumigation
sheds at Kobe, where the rice is treat
ed to a bath of fumes of carbon BIZ
sulphide. In addition to this plant,
another has been put up at Harani-
schi, this being a private enterprise of
H. HamanO of Honolulu, one of the
heaviest rice importers. At his plant
the first shipments to be fumigated
were turned out.

The Playground Movement.

Municipal altruism has had no more re
markable manifestation than in the pro-
vision nowadays made in many of our
larger cities for the recreation Of children.
Dr. Henry 5. Curtis. director Of public
Fairgrounds in this city delivered an
address on the playground movement at
the recent meeting Of the National Con-
ference Of Charities and Corrections, in
which he described the movement as
worldwide. It began twenty-five years
ago in Germany, and has thence spread
throughout the civilized world. New York
has expended Sl5CJo000 for parks and
Fairgrounds. while Chicago has appro-
priated Slo.W000J during the past three
years for what Dr. Curtis says is the
most perfect system Of public play
grounds anywhere. Beside these great
sums the cost Of the Fairgrounds in
Washington seems mere tride. even
Tf@n we take into account the smaller
population "a -he Capital
The playground movement has arisen.
DR.. Curtis tells us, from the new compre-
hensiou Of the nature Of childhood and
the new civic spirit which accepts re-
sp1nsibility for the weak and defenseless
He jusrdcs the playground movement on
seven grounds which may be briefly
summarized as follows: Necessity OF out
door exercise for the development Of
Physical health; lack Of room I'm city
streets for healthful play; need Of play
as substitute for child-lab0r. which IS
disappearing: value OF play in training
child to cooperate with others: its
value as a mental stimulus in the forma-
ton Of good habits and in the cultiva-
tion Of spirit Of ioyousness. PLAY be-
ing thus fundamental" he concludes. 1T
is obvious that Fairgrounds should be
provided at public expense and for every
child. and should be distributed through
out our cities as regularly as are our
schools"
Dr. Curtis presented three conceptions
Of what a playground should be. It NAV
be merely a place TO play or II may be
space equipped with abundance Of
apparatus. or it may be both Of these
things with the added element Of an
organizer OF games. DR.. Curtis Is of
the opinion that the latter element is
the most important of all. for It is OBJ
vious that the educational advantages Of
play would not be fully developed If
public Fairgrounds were merely resorts
for mobs Of children without any definite
aim other than mischief or having all
the fun they could by whatever. means
were handest.

Knox and the Corporations.


Friends of Senator Knox are taking
cognizance Of statements. which have
been much in evidence since the Harris
burg convention formally launched his
Presidential BOOM to the effect that he
is not a fit and proper person TO receive
tho nomination. because he has repre-
sented various big corporations IN actions
brought against them by the govern
ment. It Is asserted in the Senator'S be
half that all such statements are entirely
erroneous. Senator Knox" says Mr.. J..

When none Of these was sold. he was in

he learned-what he should have known
long before-that the japanese fields are
so tiny that scarce one of them affords
enough space for a modern reaper to turn
around In.
In Nanchuria. on the other hand the
fields are as extensive as those in our
great West and Northwest: and there are
those who predict that Manchuria even
