EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

We were reading aloud one after
noon in the little brides new home.
The word ''recrudescent'' occurred
in the next text.
Everybody hazarded guess, but
nobody knew exactly what it meant.
Lets not go on without looking it
up someone suggested, where's the
dictionary Ann
The little bride blushed and then
laughed.
ut isn't anywhere" she said, ST
haven't one. 1 wanted enc SO badly
that was going to get one out of the
housekeeping money last week.
thought I was going to have such a
splendid surplus, but you know how it
always is, a horrid gas bill came in at
the last moment and ate it up so I
couldn't 1 suppose I'm awfully un-
grateful, but 1 really do wish I'd had a
few less pieces of cut glass for wedding
presents and had had a good diction-
ary."
Let me see, wasn't it last week that
somebody wrote to ask me to suggest
a wedding present that would be really
useful and desirable and enough differ
ent not to be duplicated a dozen times?
Perhaps bride-tobe might be q bit
surprised when she unwrapped a pom
derous tome instead of a bit Of bric-a-
brac, but it's ten to one her surprise
would all have turned to gratitude for
your common sense, before year had
passed.
| Here is suggestion for the person
who does not sleep well in the hot
weather. 1t was sent in by a doctor
lreader.
| Most people have a notion that if
| they take a bath in the morning it
must be cold, and many people who do
not have any too much vitality shrink
from that. Now a quick warm bath
followed by a cold dash on the face
and shoulders is very refreshing es-
peCially if the sleep has not been so
good as usual. In fact it almost takes
the place of a nights sleep"
| am the more ready to pass on this
1 suggestion in that have already tried
\ it two or three mornings when for one
reason or another I awake from my
nights sleep unrefreshed, and have
1 found it supplied me with the feeling
of freshness and vigor that lacked.
| I am expecting to make steady use
of it during the summer.
mo, can't come over tonight"
said the little stenographer lady, "Of
course I'd like to but you see it's dads
and mothers anniversary, so we are
going into town to dinner and the
theatre. That's what we always do
have some kind of grand 'toot. Last
lyear it was the circus. Both dad and
mother are as crazy about the circus
as any kids You don't think it's going
to rain do you? I'd hate to have it.
This is one of the biggest events of the
lyear for u.s."
| Doesn't the wedding anniversary

as rollicking a good time as children
Iappeal to you as a mighty good thing
for family custom?
1t does to me.

pLAYGRoUNDs FOR CHILDREN.

FAIRGROUNDS FOR CHILDREN.
Renewed activity on the part of the
Topeka Playground association is
timely, and it would seem that If
proper effort is made the results will
be large. The endeavor to interest
the schools and the school children in
the movement, giving them some
thing Of a voice in the establishment
of these recreation spots is a step in
the right direction. Indeed. some of
the schools are so fortunately situated
with surrounding grounds that it
would probably be most advanta-
geous to turn the latter into real play
grounds.
There surely can be no doubt in
the minds of many Topekans as to the
actual necessity for having a number
of romping places for the children
scattered over the city. More than
ever the streets. alive as they are with
automobiles at all hours of the day,
are no place for the children to play.
And play they must, for it is second
nature with the youngsters to do so.
Thus is it incumbent that the children
be provided with special places for
play.
The expense need not be large for
the equipment of such spots with
swings, seesaws and other simple ap-
paratus which will make them at
tractive to the children. AS matter
of fact, it Is likely that even such
things might not be necessary for a
starter in the establishment of play
grounds. Setting aside a plot of
ground in each of the city parks or
in other localities. where the facilities
are ample, for the exclusive use of the
children might be all that would be
needed. If they merely had places to
play to their hearts content, without
any possible danger or Interruptions
of any kind, the youngsters would be
much better off than they are now.
and there is little doubt that such
Fairgrounds would prove popular.
That is the case in several other
cities where the children's playground
movement has attained a firm foot
hold. There is no reason why it
would not prove to be the case here
Regardless whether or not they are
equipped with apparatus, Fairgrounds
should be brought into existence in
Topeka, and the sooner the better.
The efforts of the Playground associa-
ton should be encouraged and help
ed along in every way possible.

BUSINESS ACTIVITY COMING.

Although bushes Is trifIe duller
throughout the country than might be
expected at this season of the year,
there is a cheerful tone in financial
circles. The belief in them is general
that wave of prosperity is in the off
ing. and that before long times will
be better than they have been for
many, many months. THE main in
f1uence contributing to this change"
writes Henry Clews, the New York
banker. in his current weekly finan-
cial review, sis the abundance of
cheap money. In all parts of
the world there is a plethora of
especially true in the United States.
To limited extent this is a result of
continued large gold productions; but
it Is mainly due to the inactivity of
business and speculation, which causes
funds to accumulate, and to decline
in commodities, enabling a given sum
to go further.
THE greatest accumulation of idle
money is at New York because inter-
Tor banks force their surplus upon
their New York correspondents in the
hope that the latter may be able to
find employment even at low rates.
At the moment there is a good deal
of nearby money in New York, which
is not likely to be required for the
next three or four months. Europe
owes us large sums on account of Sc
curity purchases and in payment for
our exports, and under present con-
ditions it pays better to allow these
sums to remain abroad as loans. Later
on in the year when the interior be-
gins to withdraw its funds from this
center then, if not sooner, we may ex-
pect gold imports upon a liberal scale.
*'Crop reports with few exceptions
are of q satisfactory character. The
winter has been a favorable one for
both the soil and winter wheat, lib
eral covering of snow and plenty of
moisture having done thus far all that
nature can to secure the next harvest.
Ali indications point to a liberal in
crease in acreage of our principal
crops, also a marked increase of care
in cultivation. The farmer equally
with the manufacturer will now be
obliged to consider efficiency and
economy; only in his case intensified
ton will be the policy, the object be-
ing to secure a larger product per
acre along with higher degree of
quality.
wall street is unquestionably the
most cheerful spot in the country.
Our leading financiers appreciate full
we'll the power of cheap money as a
stimulant to values and enterprise,
and they realize better than anyone
else the significance of the return in
our foreign trade to more normal con-
ditions. It is not the volume of. this
foreign trade that is of influence. SO
much as the significant changes in
fundamental conditions which it i'm

FaiInre of Reapportionment.

The Crumpacker bill providing for
an increase in the House membership
from 391 to 433 went down in the
crush of the closing hours of congress,
almost unnoticed. For the second time
in the history of congress the Senate
found reasons for offering objection to
a bill proposing increased membership
in the coordinate branch In the re-
forced a reduction of 20 seats on the
ground that the House was increasing
at a rate out of proportion to the
Senate. This was accepted as a valid
reason for reapportionment downward,
but this precedent does not apply to
the present case, for with the prospec-
tice increase of four new senators the
equilibrium would not be disturbed

FROM OTHER PENS
A. CRIME OF soUNrY.

Andrew 10th left prison in Pitts
burg Saturday after 20 years of con-
finement for crime he did not com
nit. His attitude on leaving Jail was
one of devOut gratitude that he was at
last freed and cleared. 1t would not
have been strange if he had been, in
stead, embittered by the great sin So
ciety committed again him. For 20
years every morning he had hoped for
justice, and every evening had gone to
his prison cot again wronged and
disappointed man.
10th was not even present when
Michael Quinn was killed in the Edgar
Thomson steel works 20 years ago. He
was later pointed out a sthe murderer
by a fellow workman who in a sulky
fit sought that easy way of getting
even" with him. 1t was easy to find
out at the time whether he had been
in the mill or not, but no one took the
trouble properly to defend the poor
immigrant who knew no English and
had no friends. Society was offended
by the murder; here was an accused
man; to prison he went, and stayed
until a dying mans conscience at last
revealed the truth.
Such a revelation shakes public
faith in the administration of justice
far more than the evil delays and mis-
placed leniency of which just COM
plant is heard. 1t is the law that un-
til he is proven guilty an accused man
must be held innocent. 10th was new

upon him in a great golden flood it
