REPAIRS TO DREDGES.
Companies Take Advantage
Freeze to Overhaul Boats,

The sand an dgravel dredging concerns
operating digging machines on the Poto-
mac river are taking advantage OF the
present freeze and the withdrawal of their
vessels from service to give them a gen.
eral overhauling in preparation for the
resumption of operations in the early
spring as soon as all danger of the COM
ing of freezing weather is passed. One
of the dredges belonging to the Columbia
Dredging Company is lying in the upper
end of the harbor having her machinery
overhauled and another Of the dredges is
being repaired as she lies on her digging
grounds, at the south end of the new rail-
way bridge surrounded by ice.
The machines and lighters of the Smoot
company are at the piers Of the company
on the Eastern branch and at Alexandria
being repaired and put In order for spring
and the Miller Company dredges are also
receiving needed attention at the head
quarters of her owners on the Eastern
branch.

Hot Foot After This Man.

COMIC. Wis, January 13.-John Bar
ney, the farmer near here who has been
advertising for a wife and offering un-
usual inducements. Is being flooded with
letters from manageable women from
all over the country, and particularly
from the south. He offered to take his
wife to town to see moving picture shows
once every week. and to allow her all
the physical culture training and piano
playing she might wish.
John seems in a fair way to have his
hearts desire gratified, for he can now
leisurely pick out his choice from a urz-
zling array of photographs scented with
the sweet magnolia of the sun-kissed
southland.
John received thirty-six letters in two
days this week.

Many Friendless Girls.

If a positive record of the cases that
come under the eye of the Methodist dea
conesses who are delegated to travellers
aid work In Washington were kept il
would show an astounding number Of in
stances of ignorant young women who
come to Washington. lured by the charm
of the city and confident that all they
have to do is to walk around the corner
and get profitable and safe employment.
Hundreds of such women arrive in the
city during a year with less than dol
lar In their pockets. not knowing whore
they are to spend their first night.
1t needs but little imagination to picture
what many of these ignorant young wom-
en- are saved from by the care of the dea
conesses.
In the ordinary cases of such girls who
land In Washington broke" the dea
coneSses take them to the Florence Crit
tenton Home and turn them over to the
matron there to be kept until employment
can be found for the wanderers or a
ticket procured to take them whence they
came.
Sometimes the deaconesses corral
young girls who have run away from
home just for the sake of running Ex-
perience has taught Miss Minor and Miss
Shriner how to spot these youngsters
mile away. A little sensible talk a short
communication with the parents OF the
runaways and the jaunt into the un-
known is quickly headed off.
Caring for immigrants is another
valuable branch of the work. Nearly
every day bewildered foreigners land al
their way. but not knowing where they
are going Tired women with large
droves of children come in and sit down
until they are taken care OF.

Movement Extends Steadily.

1.-The movement for field houses has ex-
tended steadily, though slowly. There is
now one field house completed in Los An
Dayton. Ohio, two in Pittsburg and six
new ones are being erected this year in
West and North Parks, Chicago Plans
for field houses are under cOnSideratio in
Washington, Newark and Philadelphia.
'Throughout the country, probably the
most significant single event has been the
Massachusetts playground law. 1t re-
quires every city of ten thousand or more
Inhabitants to vote whether or not it will
maintain Fairgrounds. Thus far, forty
two cities have voted, and forty have vot-
ed favOrably; giving in the forty-two
cities a vote of one hundred and fifty-four
thousand for Fairgrounds, as opposed to a
vote of thirty-fOur thousand against, a
ratio of nearly five to one. This vote Is
very important because it makes it possi-
apparently more effective units. and 1t has
shown how deep and general is the popu-
lar interest.
The state of New Jersey passed an en-
aiding act in 1907, and the state of Ohio
i'm 1905 A law has been passed by the
state of Minnesota permitting cities Of
fifty thousand inhabitants to issue bonds
improve sites for Fairgrounds. Similar
laws are now pending before the legisla-
lures of the states of Washington, Mon
tana and Indiana. Eh!s has so far be-
come the latest style in legislation that
we may expect all the northern states to
take action in the very near future. The
mere agitation for such law, even if it
fective ways of giving publicity to the
movement.

Growth Is Many Sided.

The growth Of the last two years has
been many sided,'' continued DIR. Curtis
The cities generally are appropriating
considerably more money for mainte-
nance this year than they did last. In
many cities the season is being extended
to include a considerable part Of the
school year, as we'll as the vacation.
There is general tendency to lengthen
the playground day, and there has been
a great increase of interest in the school
as a social center. These extensions,
with the new Fairgrounds opened, will
probably mean doubling Of the recre-
alton playground hours for the country
at large.
1.-The tendency among wealthy men to
contribute memorial Fairgrounds to home
cities, which began to be noticeable last
year, has increased until there are now a
large number of such Fairgrounds. This
seems to be a peculiarly hopeful tend
ency.
THE first gift of this kind to attract
general attention was probably that OF
Richard and Sarah Smith of the play
house in Paramount Park, Philadelphia. in
1896. This year Fairgrounds have been
contributed by Mayor Lands to New
Britain; by Mr. Bill to the city of Spring
field; by Mr.. Burke to Marlborough,
Mass; by Mr.. Richardson to Auburn, n.
Y: by the McCormicks to Chicago; by
Cornelius and Patrick Mundy to Whining
ton, Del; by the Davis & Turber Co to
North Andover, Mass. and by Judge and
Mrs. Biddle to Carlisle, Pa.

Millions Expended in New York.

New York city alone is spending four
teen million dollars on the erection of
new theaters and places Of amusement
during the two years 1909 and 1910 and
and other cities are investing a CORE
spending amount for the same purpose,
private means of entertainment that are
being. provided in the clubs, homes and
resorts of the weather. classes of the
population. There are gymnaSiums,
swimming pools and athletic clubs for
women in all our large cities. 1t is nee
|cessary for the public authorities, the
municipal officials, the boards of education
and benevolent socities to provide diver
sions for the poor, and the playground is
effective of them all. Millions of dollars
are being spent in that direction and the
growth of the playground idea is SO
rapid that DR.. Henry 5. Curtis, recently
secretary of the playground Association
of America said: Its spread to new
cities during the last years has bee SO
rapid that the question of it's becoming
universal in some form is one Of the near
future. We. who have been promoting
las we did in boyhoods days when our
sled began to feel the undertow of
steep hill, that it is more important for
us to keep an eye out for fleeing trees
and wayside bitches than it is to hasten
the flight by pushing behind. The num-
Der of cities taking part and even the
amount of money expended have ceased
The essential questions today are what
ideals is the movement taking up as it
progresses. Is it's soul growth keeping
pace with its body?
