way would probably be prohibitive.
When we build new buildings we can
guard against lack of Fairgrounds by
providing adequate outdoor space for
each child which tho new building is
20 accommodate, but we still have left
existing buildings that have no play
grounds.
Why not close the street in front or
alongside of each such school from y
to o'clock every day?
The children already use the streets
for Fairgrounds and are in constant
danger of injury from traffic. Acct
dents to school children playing in the
streets have, in fact, been frequent and
sometimes serious.
By keeping traffic off of one block
the children of each school would be
provided with an excellent substitute
for a playground during the noon re-
cess, and would be protected from pos
sible injury.
This suggestion is offered the Board
OF Education and the District Commits
sioners in the hope that from it can
be evolved a practical means of pro
viding the school children with safe
place to get outdoor air and exercise.

WHY NOT CLOSE UP STREETS
FOR FAIRGROUNDS.

Over in Paris the municipal authori-
ties close certain streets at certain
hours during the months of mild
weather for the purpose of creating
parks where the people may assemble
to play games, dance, hold picnics, and
otherwise enjoy themselves in the open
without danger of being interrupted or
injured by traffic. The scheme has
been found highly satisfactory and
conducive to happiness.
Why can't we do something of SINH
lar nature here for our school chill
dren?
Washington has about $50 public
schools, less than half of which have
Fairgrounds of sufficient size to give
children room for recreation out of
doors. Many of them have no play
grounds, but stand squarely against
the lot lines, afTording the children no
place TO play but che sidewalks and
streets.
What are VIC going to do about it?
We might buy property adjoining
the public schools which have no play
grounds, but as such schools are usu-
ally in thickly settled districts, the
expense Of meeting the problem in this

TROUBLED TINES FOR THE
REACTIONARIES.

These are troublous times for the
reactionaries- As they look ahead,
there Is not much that comes within
their purview to offer them encourage
ment. Especially Is this true in the
situation as respects Congress. The
indications are that the grip they have
hitherto held on that body is broken
and that it is going to stay broken.

only Is minutes for the Jury in the
contest of the will Of Auguste Ran

verdict ends the long and haru
fought contest which has occupied
the attention of the district court

quest. AS contestants were Augusta

will had been made by the testatrlX
while being under undue influence
and while in a state of mind not be-
fitting the important act of devising
such a document. On the other hand,
the proponents claimed that Mrs.
Ranzow was in her right mind and
knew the import of the document
she signed. The will bears the date
of March s. 1898. Attorneys Koch
and Chamberlin appeared for the
proponents while Sharon 6 Higgins
