The PLAYGROUND CONGRESS.

Efficiency in play is the keynote Of thu
fifth annual meeting OF the Playground
Association OF America, which wa:
held at the New Willard Hotel il
Washington, D. q. May 10 to l3, 1911.
The practical questions confronting
those interested in public recreation
was discussed by experts This year
the Playground Association Of America
has held four playground Institutes in
various parts Of the country. The an.
nual meeting Of this year was in the
nature Of an institute OF institutes.
There were no exhibitions" but child
rem and grown people play the vari
ous playground games. There were
one set Of games for children under ten
another for girls from ten to fourteen
The games for boys from ten to fourteen
were played by delegaie-.
George E. johnson, Of PittsburQ. who
has done so much to maintain high
standards Of playground work in his
city, and E. B. De GrOOt, who has,
directed development Of the wonderful
South Park playground system Of
Chicago were captains OF the opposing
teams which played velley ball play.
ground ball and soccer football. There
was also folk dancing by delegates
under the direction Of the chairman of
the committee on folk dancing Mrs
James J. StOrrOw, Of Boston.
What is going to happen when the
playground workers actually begin to
practice what they preach!
Miss Edna V Fisher, who has been
successful in dramatic work in Pitts.
burg, conducted a rehearsal before the
delegates so that those present could see
the aims Of the work and understand
the method.
The playground workers on the clos
ing day Of the conference praeticed
various Boy Scout activities,
How street play can be made more
wholesome and satisfactory was shown
by Madeline L Stevens, who has had
charge Of street play in New York
Much Of the time at the meetings was
given up to discussions in which many
prominent workers participated.
Play as sn sntidote to civilization
was the subject of an address by Joseph
Lee, the president OF the Playground
Association OF America Fairgrounds
have ofted been considered city ques.
ton. Now the Playground Association
OF America announces the topic Rural
Recreation" with no less q speaker
than Prof. L. H Bailey Of Cornell |
University.
The slogan OF efficiency in work
seems to be giving place somewhat to
the cry efficiency in life and this &C
counts for the interest which leads
men and women from all parts OF the
country to come together to consider
how they can secure the most play and
the most happiness for the people OF
their communities with the least ex-
penditures.
Some Of the sessions Of the last an.
nual meeting Of the Playground Asso-
citation Of America held at Rochester,

Unwritten Law.

When an automobile runs
out of oil it won't run, but with
the telephone all the stranded
autoist has to do after wearing
himself out cranking to make
his machine go, is to phone
any of our auto owners who
will gladly pile out of bed and
hasten to the relief Of a strand
ed brother, for it is a law,
whether written, we do not
know, but when a brother who
has taken the gasoline degrees
sends in a distress signal day
or night, aid must be given
him at once regardless Of the
the storm or calm. Men bound
by automobile ties will do most
anything for another with one
exception, that of admitting
the other fellow can climb a
sleeper grade on "high" than
they can. If selling cars theirs
is the best. -Oelwein Register.

Wine and Work

The biography of Sir Wilfred
Lawson, which has just been
published, contains a good story
of Mr.. Gladstone's physician,
Sir Andrew Clark. He once
recommended his illustrious
patient to take wine. MIR.
Gladstone expressed some sur
prise at this, as he believed Sir
Andrew was a temperance doc
tor" Sir Andrew replied:
ooh, wine does sometimes help
you to get through work. For
instance, / have often twenty
letters to answer after dinner,
and a pint of champagne is a
great help"
"Indeed," remarked Mr..
Gladstone, ''does a pint of
champagne really help you to
answer the twenty letters?"
"No, no." Sir Andrew ex-
planned, "but when I've had .
pint of champagne l don't caro-
a rap whether | answer thee
or not. Dundee Advertiser. :

the course of his remarks he
spoke at length to farmers and
gave them a lot of advice about
new methods, new ideas, new
ways of doing work, new ma
chinery, advanced education,
ETC., and wound up by saying:
I'm short, you must be progress
sive." The audience went wild
raised a shout and cheered like
mad. The ex-senator got red
in the face as a beet, stammer-
ed and almost broke down.
For an old dyed-in-the-wool
standpatter like Young to ad-
wise his hearers to be progress

progressive audience all right;
the boys saw the point, and
those who heard him and took
part in the demonstration are
laughing yet. Progressive?

Iowa Pleasure Resorts

There are many Iowa people
who realize that the very best
place in all the wide world, in
which to spend a vacation dur
ing the heated term, is Iowa.
Thus there are the Knight
Templars. They have their
own beautiful camp grounds on
Spirit Lake, and they know
that if they hunted the coun-
try over, they would find moth
ing better than their own
grounds. And so this year
some 1900 of them, many &C.
companied by their families,
are to spend part of the sum-
mer at the beautiful Temple
park. And Of course, they will
return home delighted and
next year the attendance will
be still more gratifying. There
are dozens upon dozens of
places where Iowans can real
ly enjoy a vacation right here
at home in Iowa, and by no
means the poorest is right IN
their own homes.-Burlington

both of which are true medi-

ingredients whose medical
qualities are recognized py the
medical profession itself as the

decades Foley's Honey and Tar
