Denver's playground system is one
of the best appointed of any city in the
United States. Though the problem Of
congestion of population which is a
serious question with many eastern
cities has never troubled this city and
probably will not for many years to
come. the public breathing places for
the children are all ample in area to
accommodate future growth of their
respective localities, the ground hav-
ing been purchased with this idea in
view
In 1910 the park board which has
charge of the Fairgrounds expended

Outdoor Swimming Pool.
An important addition to the play
ground attractions in 1910 was the
opening in June of the outdoor swim
ming pool in Lincoln park, one of the
most novel ideas adopted by the city
for the amusement of the boys and
girls.
The Lincoln pool is CONSTRUCTED Of
cement and is of graduated depth, one
end being for swimmers and the other
| for those who are learning to swim.
The dimensions are 40 by 100 feet and
at the north end there is a neatly de-
signed concrete bath house. which con-
tains dressing rooms, toilets, shower
baths the office of the superintendent
and the heating plant. AS Denyer's
water supply comes from the snow
capped mountains it is uncomfortably
, cool for bathing, and next TO impossl-
bic for swimmers, hence it was neces-
sary that the pool be warmed to
certain temperature. This is done by
means of steam pipes connected with
the bath house. Everything about the
place is free, as is the case at the pub
lie baths at Twentieth and Curtis
bathing suits.
The cost &c the hath house and
equipment was $500 The institution
has attracto, considerable attention
from other cities which have written
- the park board from time to time
for photos and plans The National
Playground association has endorsed
the idea and has recommended the Lin

Large Playground Expenditures.
The playground has come to mean as
much to the community as the public
school; some educators say it means
more. The growth of the movement is
wonderful. Ten years ago there were
60 Fairgrounds in 80 cities; now there
are 1900, in 800 cities. The first pla-'-
ground was in Boston in 1887. Almost
the same time New York, Philadel-
phia, Providence, Chicago, Baltimore
and Pittsburg took up the work
In 1904 the American Civic league
created a department of public recre-
alton. Two years later the Playground
association of America was organized.
Chicago in the last few years has ex-
pended $4,000, 600 and New York $1S,-
100000 on Fairgrounds.
The international Prison congress
at it's Washington meeting last Octo-
Der adopted the following resolution:
1T is resolved that to prevent habits
Of vagrancy and idleness among chill

vast additions to Fairgrounds, whole
some recreation centers, gymnasiums

GEORGE KIMMEL is ACCEPTED

Mother Still Insists He Is Not Her
Son.

Niles, Mich, Sept 25.-George A.
Kimmel, although still unowned by
his mother, today found new support
ers of his contention that he is really
Kimmel and not an impositor, as is
asserted by those who refuse to recos-
nize the man recently released from
the Auburn, N. Y. prison.
Welcomed as a nephew Kimmel to-
day went to Berrien Springs to visit
Henry Gephardt.
He also will visit Mrs. Elroy Hess,
cousin, who believes that the true
Kimmel has been found. She was led
to this belief by the fact that her hus-
bands eyes have changed color in the
past few years as Kimmel's have said
to have changed.
Mrs. Ada Bonslett, of Chicago,
sister of Kimmel, and beneficiary to
the extent of $4,000 life insurance If
Kimmel is proved to be dead, did not
arrive today as was expected.

DEATH CAME EXTREMELY
CLOSE TO JOHN ELLIS

S'tatesboro, Ga, Sept. 26.-John Ellis,
white man, was shot in the top of his
lead Saturday night by unknown par
ties, and had the aim of the man who
fired the shot been an inch or more
lower the wound would have probably
proved fatal. Striking the top of the
head on the side the ball plowed It's
way through, leaving a trench. The
shooting occurred below the show
grounds and it is said Ellis has no idea
as to who fired the shot. If the ball
had struck little lower it would have
buried itself in his head.

The Southern Wood Block Paving
Company which has the contract for
the paving, has notified the city coun-
Gil that owing to the pressure of de-
mahd for the blocks it will hereafter
furnish those intended for use in this
city from Mobile, where there is a
large creosoting plant

city designate an inspector at that
point, so as to reduce the reflections

to avoid shipping blocks here and
paying heavy freights, only to have
them thrown out by the city as unsat,
isfactory and not up to specifications.
On receipt of this advice from the
contractors the city council author
lied Mayor Mathis to visit Mobile and
arrange for the inspection there in the
interest of the city. Mayor HIathis
will leave for Mobile on next Monday
or Tuesday and spend a few days
there. He will secure a competent
inspector, acquaint him thoroughly
with the specifications, and make al
arrangements to protect the interests
of both the city and the contractors.
This move will probably expedite
the paving considerably, as it will re-
suit in less discards and prompter
shipments.
The city does not surrender its right
to re-inspect the blocks on their ar
rival here and the same care will be
exercised in this respe as in the past,
it being the determination Of the ad-
ministration to see that the Americas
paving comes up to the provisions OF
the contract in every particular.

the continuation of the present farm

Not only a change in treatment Of
the soil, but of the county people as
well was urged. Only by lettering

declared could young persons be kept
there.
Governor Herbert S. Hadley, of
Missouri, in welcoming the delegates
to the state, asserted that fully forty
per cent of the land in the country
was farmed so that it's productive quail
tiles were decreased.
President Henry Wallace, of the
congress, in reply to the welcome as.
sailed the farmer as a robber. He
declared land in the United States

of those grown on poorer land in Eu-

Divine SARAH IS NOW
BUILDING TOMB
Will Rest By Sea On Storm
Beaten Rocks

Paris, Sept. 26-BGlle Isle, off the
Brittany coast, is. as most people know,
the summer residence of Sarah Bern
hardt. For years past La Divine has
spent her holidays there, fishing among
the rocks near her home, playing ten
mis-, going for long walks, and gener>
ally living the simple life Though she
has purchased the land about her
house, to keep out the intrusive neigh
bors, she cannot bribe away the tou,-
ist who comes on bicycle or on foot
to gaze at her original residence, and
sometimes stands sentinel by the hour
before the dor in the hope of catching
"a glimpse of the great actress.
The hot weather is passed agreeably
enough on this point of land, which
stretches out into the broad Atlantic.
At the extreme end Sarah Bernhard IS
having her tomb erected. 1t is one
of her original ideas to prepare not
merely her sarcophagus, but it's final
abiding place. And so in a few weeks
will rise from the storm-beaten rocks
the mausoleum in which will rest all
that is mortal of the sublime trage-
dienne The conception is thoroughly
poetic; that she shall even in death,
seem to glance out, as beacon light,
across the waters, just now lying calm
under the hot September sun. These
preparations for her final end show
that La Bernhard intends TO oe Org
inal and picturesque to the last.
Her house. which is besieged, in 9TH
er than the old sense, by a friendly
enemy with camera and guidebook,
was fort few years ago. Being
no longer of use to coast defense, it
was dismantled and then purchased by
the great Parisienne, who turned 1t
into summer abode. 1t stands four
square to the winds of heaven, and it's
rude, crenelated walls shine with ye!- =
low ocher, with which contrast the
green Stats of the window shutters.
The fiat roof flaunts four flags, trib-
utes to La Grande Sarah's cosmopoli-
tan fame, for two are French and the
remaining two English and American.
