SENSIBLE REcoMnEYDArIOy.

When the city authorities were considering
the rental of a hillside near the northern end
of Manhattan Island for a playground at pre-
poster0us annual charges, The Tribune sug-
gested that it use idle property already in its
possession for that purpose. For example, it
advised that the plot in East Goth street, now
rented to the Pastime Athletic Club for so
month. and that on Washington Heights. near
the City College be converted into Fairgrounds
committee of the Sinking Fund Commission
has Just reported in favor Of making play
grounds Of these two pieces Of city property,
of providing another under the Manhattan
terminal Of greensboro Bridge and of filling in
twenty three acres Of swamp land in Van COrt-
Iandt Park TO make it an athletic field.
This is the most sensible proposal with re-
gard TO Fairgrounds the city authorities have
ever made. We hope 1t is the beginning of n
movement to put the idle property belonging to
the city to use instead of constantly buying or
renting more to please political real estate
operators. In that way the cost Of providing
play facilities for children can be very much
lessened Other cities use all their unoccuped
building sites as small temporary Fairgrounds
New York has dozens OF such little plots. An
other thing New York could do now that it has
movement of which it was the initiator in this
country. is to consider whether its existing
small parks and athletic fields are administered
so as 10 obtain from them the utmost possible
results. Is the present control of them by de-
partment in which they are merely side issue

WoRKiyGs OF THE PURE rood LAW

MORNINGS OF The PURE tOOD Law
A case arising under the pure food law,
similar TO the one decided by Judge SanbOrn in
Chicago last week was adjudicated in Ohio
about six months ago The two show that
shrewd efforts are made TO market products
which the buyer mistakenly supposes TO be
maple syrup. On the label Of the article offered
for shipment from Ohio 10 Michigan the
statement that il was made from the sugar
rree and cane sugar" II was also specifically
called blended maple syrup" No question
was raised as 10 the propriety Of the term
blended" nor concerning the genuineness Of
the cane sugar employed. The other ingredient
was not obtained by boiling maple sap how
ever but by some sort of treatment of the wood
OF a maple tree after it had been chopped
down While it was literally true that the

of the mixture. the court held that the maple
derivative was not maple syrup in the popular
sense The dealer was fined $50, and seems 70

evidence showed that. il was not derived from
maple sap the court felt obliged 10 say that
It was ~Lnisbranded-"
II thus appears that in at least two instances
the offence which led 20 judicial condemnation

perhaps absolutely correct. was misleading.

an stated that the reports We're exag-
gerated and based on inadequate knowI-

The Navy Department has ordered an
increase I'm the number OF Marines sta

for them to be ready to proceed to Mica

1t is learned that since the execution

obliged to deal with in any South or

cases are said to be mostly exaggerated.
