The play congress of the Playground Association

Museum of Natural History September s, is,
as one educator PUT II. e pleasing proof that the
world is beginning what childhood ought TO
mean Though little children work in tenement
sweatshops. though child workers under hfteen
keep the Georgia cotton mills running. though the
public schools-nany OF then-feTce young brains
beyond all conscience STILL there are one thousand
first class educators. social workers and civic ON
ciaIs in the United States who deem II worth while
to come and reason together to how It may be
made possible for children to play
In this congress will appear the mayors or de-
partment officers of many cities. some Of which
have Fairgrounds and of which are hoping
to have them. Governor Hughes will speak for
the state government. Owen R. Lovejoy will dis
cuss the playground movement In relation TO child
labor Joseph Lee Mrs. Harriet Heller and Allen
Burns will talk of Fairgrounds as weapon against
Juvenile delinquency. The physical and medical
side of p!av will be considered by Dr. Luther Hal
sey Ciuck, president OF the association, and Dr.
Woods Hutchinson.
An Interesting side Of the convention will be a
special conference the establishment OF country
Fairgrounds and athletic associations. DR.. Myron
T. Scudder and Professor l. H Bailey. OF Corneil
University, will take part in this. 1t is the belief
of these and many other students OF the problem
that a rural movement in this direction would go
q long way toward keeping country boys and girls

Delegates will have different story to tell from

scarce, to-day more than two hundred and twenty
cities have Fairgrounds. will have them very

a chance of crashing into passing railway train.
The of this device proposed at q confer
ence held in the Office of President Peters in the
Long Island City railway station between Alfred
J. Emo president Of the Long Island League;
Ralph Peters, president of the Long Island Rail-
road; A. r. Pardngton, president of the Long
Island Motor Parkway, and John L. Webb, chair
man OF the committee of safety of the Long Island
Automobile Club.
The conference was brought about by desire to
obviate the terrible accidents which have occurred
at grade crossings in the present season, and all
of those present seemed to be In favor of the
hummock plan. which has been in successful Use
at Babylon for some time. Mr.. Peters said that
it would be impossible to place watchman at
every one of the 429 grade crossings on the Long
Island Railroad. and that at best a watchman
would have very little effect in causing the speed
TO slow down.
President Peters said that his road willing
to bear half the expense of building the hummocks
and Mr. Emo stated that he would put himself in
communication with the league and propose that

TO LIGHT FLOATS FROM TROLLEY WIRE

Electricity will play an important part in the IL
luninations for the Mardi Gras parade and fall
festival which viii be held at Coney Isand during
the week of September H. The problem of lighting
the floats which will represent Progress and
Prosperity mas been solved by the electricians,
who have decided to the trolley system.
In past seasons only few of the floats in the
Mardi Gras parade lighted by electricity, ana
storage batteries were used for the purpose. For
this years parade the trolley system has been
adopted Each float will be completely wired, and
the floats will be connected by wire cables. Two
trolIeys will be used connected with the first and
last floats The trolleys will overhead

is made possible by the fact that electric light
wires will be strung across Surf avenue along the

ALVESTON RAISED AND RECLAIMED

What they said was that great
sea wall must be built-a wall II
feet in height, set on deep driven
piles, built with steelbound CO.
ment, and buttressed with granite
rock, circling the gulf front for a
distance of four miles. And behind
this wall an area equal to half the
city must be raised in grade an
average of seven feet.
This was rather a staggering
proposition. On the area to be
raised were standing 2156 houses.
To raise this land would require
approximately 100000 cubic
yards of dirt. Every house would
likewise have to be lacked up to
grade. And the cost of all this, with
the sea wall and the rebuilding of
the city, would run into many mil
lions. The city was in hopeless
debt. Many of it's citizens were
ruined. Hundreds were leaving
every week. Commerce was at a
standstill, credit dead, and the
future very dark.
