Thomas White. Solomon

Mcdowell, Thomas White, Solomon
Wilkerson.
The following poem and suggestions
were contributed by a North Topeka
man who spent yesterday at the roller
skating rink at Vinewood:
II wore a pair of roller skates,
To take a little recreation.
But met a flock of loose egg-crateS,
And broke-my reputation.
Mothers should not carry small in
fants when they skate. 1t is cruelty
to children.
1t is bad form to skate any distance
with the toe of one foot pointing toward
your head.
Always make way for a large person
who skates better than you. 1t shows
respect for talent.
Avoid falling only when absolutely
necessary. 1t is injurious to the specta-
tors sensibilties and hurts the rink floor.
Never remark about the graceful
centuries of a person who is trying not
to sit down. On those occasions re-
member that silence is the greatest
praise.
When a boy and girl skate together,
the boy should avoid the appearance of
embracing his companion. A gentle
pressure on the hand and arm of the
girl is sufficient to help her maintain
her balance.
Avoid running into posts. Skating
rink managers do not wish to have their
property damaged.
