1t never pays to take too much for
granted. young man recently picked
up a well filled pocketbook in Grand
junction. He says he tried to find the
owner and asked several different per
sons If they knew who had lost
pocketbook. He put the find in his
pocket and started to Denver accord
ing to previous plan. He was taken
from the train at Glenwood charged
with stealing the purse. He told such
plausible story that he was allowed
TO go, after handing over the purse to
Sheriff Jessup.

SAYS RACE TRACK
Is BAD FOR KIDS"
Expert Advises Against Using En-
closures for Playgrounds-Insti-
tute Sessions End.

The wisdom OF establishing city
Fairgrounds within the enclosure OF
race track was one OF the main
topics before the Fairgrounds Insu-
tute for the Central States In the clos
ing session Of It's three-day conference
In the Hotel Cadillac convention hall,
Saturday morning. The matter was
brought up by an outside city which
sent the following telegram: What
do you think Of making playgrounds
inside Of race tracks used all sum
mer?" The identity Of the city seek.
ing the information was suppressed by
the chairman. w.
George w. Ehler, director Of the
department of physical training, Uni
versity of Wisconsin, Madison, Wis.
took the stand that while the appear
ance Of the horses on the track while
the children would be playing In the
enclosure would not tend TO have a
demoralizing effect on the children,
the conditions associated with horse
races would not likely prove a whole
some inspiration. The betting and
immoral atmosphere usually associat-
ed with a race meeting would be most
dangerous conditions under which to
train boys and girls, and II would be
impossible to bring about change
In the surroundings, Mr.. Ehler further
argued. He also pointed out that with
horse racing, with betting attachment,
is prohibited In many states. and that
II would be unwise to bring boys and
girls In close contact with sport
branded as illegal.
One Of the delegates got some ap-
plause when he argued that the spec
tacie of seeing the horses In tests of
speed would act as an incentive on the
boys and girls. He further thought
that there would be no danger of con-
tamination from the betting and 9TH
er features to which Mr.. Ehler OBJ
jected.
Mr. Ehler said he thought the dele
gate was mistaken about the boys and
girls being inspired to greater rivalry
In their athletic contests as result
of seeing the horses in action. He
said said he once had ch-rge of high
school boys and girls who were train
ing in athletics In the Enclosure Of a
race track, where horses were con-
tinually performing, and that the
pupils showed no Improvement In
their work because of the example
set by the horses.
Another point argued at length was
a question asked by delegate from
Des Moines, la. He wanted to know
whether Fairgrounds could be estab-

lished with any degree OF success in
side Of parks.
To this question Mr.. Ehler, who. by
the way, was looked on as the most
capable 10 answer all questions, re-
piled In the Affirmative, where the
parks were located within the city
and In the negative where the loca-
ton was In the suburbs. Mr.. Ehler
said the children and parents would
20 anywhere within a radius OF a mile
or so to reach a playground, but
would draw the line on going into the
suburbs. II would never do, either,
to pay car fare for the children. as
suggested by one delegate.
A delegate from Kansas City said
that the establishing OF a Fairgrounds
In the parks In that city had proven q
success. Both aristocrats and poor
people alike patronized them, she
said.
Many other features OF Fairgrounds
for the children and parents were dis
cussed, among them being the cooper

dren at recess; moving picture shows
on the Fairgrounds at night for the
entertainment OF the adults, and the
teaching OF the drama In the open
Much attention was paid 20 the mat
ter OF recess outdoor activities. Mr.
Ehler said that no child should be
kept In school at recess as a means
of punishment; every child needed all
the fresh air he or she could possibly
get, he emphasized.
