SUPERVISOR
ARGUES FOR MORE FUNDS
Most Pressing Item Is Maintenance, While Congress
Cut Appropriation to 81 5OO-What Other
Cities Are Spending.

To the Editor OF The Washington Tines:
In the explanation that was given By
Dir. Gardner In the House yesterday,
for the cutting out Of the appropria-
ton for Fairgrounds, nothing whatever
was said IN reference TO the appropria-
ton for maintenance, the only argu-
ment given applying TO the estimates
for the acquisition Of sites From the
point OF view Of the Playground AssO-
citation, the most pressing item is the
one for maintenance Congress gave US
last year $4,000, with which three sites
have been purchased In all there viii
be three more Fairgrounds 20 maintain
this year than last, and practically
nothing has been given TO carry On
the work
Congress has already made a begin
ring in the acquisition Of sites. and has
expressed by its action OF last year
its belief IN the value OF the training
furnished by the Fairgrounds. TO
leave these grounds IN their present
state Of desolatioa and TO provide no
money TO make them available TO the
children IS surely utter wastefulness,
which cannot b. defended on any
ground, except EXTREMIST poverty.
If the money is furnished for the
Improvement OF the grounds they can
be made as beautiful as public parks
with flowers, vines, and trees, 50 they
will serve the purpose Of the small park
20 the adult and Of the playground TO
the children Undoubtedly the most
used parks IN this country are the
parks that thus combine the playground
with the landscape feature The ten
small park-playgrounds Of Chicago had
last year an aggregate attendance OF
nearly 100000 people. The city OF Chi
cago voted 10000 for their nainte-
nance.
10000 Children Attended
There are twenty-five Fairgrounds IN
washington which had during ten
weeks last summer an aggregate at
tendance Of $4,000 ehildre1- These
children must have gotten something
out Of the Fairgrounds or they would
nor have come. The attendance was
30 per cent greater last year than the
year before II the city spent 10 cents
apiece on these children 70 give them a
good time, forgetting altogether the
physical and social training which they
receive, it would be spending $1,000 on
maintenance. The Appropriations Com
mittee has set aside $3.50 on uainten-
ance. The city OF PittsbUrg is about
the size OF washington. Il has twelve
Fairgrounds, but II has already voted
S3s 90 for their maintenance Allegheny
which is now part OF greater PfttsbUrg
has received $500 for the maintenance
OF It's Fairgrounds, making $4,000 for
the greater city
The appropriation asked for Washing
ton, for its twenty-five Fairgrounds, is
S2o, 600. Last year Congress gave Us
$500 for maintenance and the Washing
ton Fairgrounds Association raised S.
500; more than any other city in Amer
lea raised by private contributions This
IS surely a sufficient indication OF the
interest OF the people The National
Government can scarcely expect its pub
lie enterprises 70 be supported in this
way. Congress Is surely not less able

a Terrible Situation,

There can be few more terrible dis
coveries than that the man in your
company has suddenly gone mad and
that YOU cannot escape him. That was
the position of an old lady and her fe-
male companion when. just as their
train was gliding out of a London ter
minus. a man popped into the carria &c
and banged the door after him. The
first stop was eighty miles away. and
it seemed as far as eternity when the
man produced from his pocket a num-
Der of razors and began to cut up an
orange. The old lady gave her fur boa
an extra twist about her throat DO

and popped it into her mouth. She ac-
cepted the gift with thanks. and he
was anxious to feed her with more
She assured him that she liked to eat
her orange slowly and made it last.
She had to make each portion given to
her on the razor last her so long that
there was still piece or two left when

EnnIish In Switzerland.

At a certain hotel in lovely Alpine
resort to which many English visitors
were attracted a new proprietor, de-
string to cater for such. had this no.
tice. of his own composition, exhibited
in the reception room:
Gentlemen who come in this hotel
not say anything about their meals
they will be charged for. and if they
should say beforehand that they are
going to breakfast or dinner. are if
they say that they not have anything
to eat they will be charged. and if not
so. they will be charged. or unless they
bring it to the notice of the manager,
and should they want not to say any
thing. they must order the manager
for. and not any one else. and unless
they not bring it to the notice of the
manager they will be charged for the
least things not, according to hotel
rate. And no fuss will be allowed aft
erward about it. and nothing will be
allowed to deduct anything out of it,"

Fiddle and Grow Hair.

1t is now a scientifically proved fact
on the growth of the hair 1t is with
good reason that great musicians. such
as Paganini, List and Paderewski,
are represented with growth of hair
which Absalom might have envied.
Science has proved that stringed in
struments have a favorable influence
on the growth of the hair. while brass
instruments act in the opposite direc-

that q bald violinist is as rare as a

ness" continued the Governor. HE
refused an opinion last January, but
possibly the campaign issues make
change of mind necessary. Our
banking law has many beneficial fea-
lures.
AN active managing officer cannot
borrow from his own bank. The State
Board passes upon the ability, hon
esty and fitness of every bank officer
and removes them if incompetent,
reckless or dishonest.
THE Bank Board from time to time
fixes the maximum rate of interest
that may be paid on deposits. The
ratio of capital to deposits is subject
to regulation. At least four careful
examinations are made annually.
There are 497 State banks, all un-
der law, and "a national banks also
under law.
"The effect Of Bonaparte's decision
will continue to increase deposits in
secured banks and decrease in unse-
cured banks, and, judging from num-
erous statements heretofore made, l
believe that many of our national
banks will take out State charters.
''The present antiquated and ineffi
cient national banking law inspires
no confidence in our people and the
smaller national banks fully realize
that the national banking law operates
to the benefits of the large banks
only.
Our depositors remember the story
of the Walsh bank of Chicago and
numerous similar national bank
losses, and consider that banking is
a semi-public business where depos-
itors have rights ss we'll as stock
holders.'
