Six hundred ~"kiddies," lads anu
l~assies, took part in the Fairgrounds
activities at Boynton Beach yester-
dav morning and afternoon. AND
there were about two hundred moIh-
ers and friends who were also On
hand to view the proceedings OF tne
little tots who spend their hours III
enjoyment at the respective seetlohS
of the Fairgrounds. 1t was a cholce
day for such a galaxy OF events aS
was staged by the instructors OF the
Fairgrounds and when the
time for departure came around SAD
ness reigned throughout the RANKS
and instead of forcing the little ones
to return at 4:30 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, Supervisor Eichbauer al
lowed the stay to last until 4:45 pm.
All returned wearied but pleased, in
fact delighted over the days muse
ments. Smiles marked the counte-
nances of the visitors who brought
back words of praise for the super
visor and his assistants.
When the crowd of little ones ar
rived in the morning a dash was
made for the swing, slides and the
merry-go-round. All of the lads and
lassies had their NEWS tickets which
entitled them to the free rides. After
having their fun on these, they gath
cred to await the orders of the super
visors' crew of instructors. Races
were held, the different classes OF
girls competing in different events
and the different classes of boys doing
likewise. There was so much doing
at the same time that it took every
minutes time of the ten instructors
to handle things efficiently. Candy
was given as a reward to the winner
of each event and, my, you ought to
see the little ones go for the candy!
1t was a delight to the parents who
witnessed the exhibition to see their
children so earnestly engaged in the
different branches of athletics, trying
with their utmost energy and yea to
win one little piece of candy. Ihey
were eager to show how much the
work in the Fairgrounds had bene-
flied each and every individual.
Among the events were: potato race,
sack race, sprints, such as 100 yards,
SO yards, so yards, standing broad
Jump, shot put, running broad jump,
corner ball, volley ball and running
high jump. In the afternoon dancing
vas started. Ten different folk dane
es were given and nearly every little
girl that attended the picnic, took
part.
The dances were called:

The first three named were the
most liked since they were song
dances, (singing accompanying the
dancing).
Supervisor Eichbauer and Director
A~fflerbach conducted a feature game
among the boys. Several boys were
lined up and the one who disfigured
his countenance so a. to make the
funniest appearance was the winner
of the contest. Another novel event
of the same nature vas to have a
score or more tots try to walk thirty
yards without smiling, while being
jeered and Knocked. AS a result of
the large number of attendants yes

children went through, there are a

School After Him Voted Down.
West Orange, N. j., Aug. S.-That an
inventor as well as a prophet Is not

was illustrated here when Mrs. George
Merck, a member Of the board Of edu-
cation, failed to get her colleagues to
agree with her as to the proprlety of
naming a new public school after
Thomas A. Edison.
In the Oranges every public school
bears besides its official number, a
name by which it Is best known to
the general public. The names are de-
rived from historical figures and from
streets, usually the latter. Mrs. Merck,
who is the pioneer woman member Of
a West Orange board of education, sug-
gested that a school which the board
is to build at once be given the name
of Edison.
The majority or the board, however,
decided that Paramount would be a
better name, because it is to front On

A BOOST FOR S. W. MULuNIX
Topeka Man Superintendent of
Second District.
Plan to Improve Efficiency of
Service.

An important announcement affecting
the titles of the mechanical heads OF
the Rock Island lines was made by gem
eral officials of the road in Topeka today.
Not only were all the district superin-
tendents of power made district mechan-
ical superintendents, but ]. w. Tollert-
on Of Chicago who has been assistant
general superintendent of motive power
was placed at the head of the entire de-
partment with the new title of mechan-
ical superintendent.
Although Topeka officials say that
Iollerton does not take the position
formerly occupied by W. A Nettletou
who was general superintendent of mo-
tive power. it is known that Tollerton
assumes the active supervisorship OF
the district mechanical superintendents
J. Rumney of Chicago is in charge OF
the mechanical work directly as assist
ant second vice president.

fects one Topeka Officials. w. Null
link. Mr.. Mullinix has been superin-
tendent of motive power of the second
district with headquarters at Topeka
since the new district organization be-
came effective more than one year
ago. Before that time Mr.. Muliinix
was superintendent of shops with
supervision over other mechanical

CHILLED TO BONE
Grace Lang, Aged Is, Found
Shivering in the Street.
BarefOOted and Clad Only in
Night Gown.

Grace Lang of 1920 North Van
Burne, attired only in her night
clothes, was found by officer Rufus
Frazier in the wee sma' hours o. the
morning while on Kansas avenue and
Crane streets about 1 o'clock this
morning.
Miss Lang. aged Is, because of trou-
BILE in the family, was taken to the
police station but not until after officer
Frazier had removed his overcoat and
used it as a blanket to protect her.
After being taken to the police station
she told the officers that she had been
turned out of her home by her step
mother. Her father, Frank Lang, and
his wife had quarreled and the former
left the house. Then she alleges that
her stepmother drove her away.
George Foster, her stepbrother, who
is employed in the Postotfice restau-
rant, put the child's clothes in suit
case and took her to the Oxford motel
where he enaged room for her 1or
the night.
After her disappearance from home.
Mrs Lang or some woman, reported
to the police that she had ran away
from home. Sergeant Dan Garden
found her at the oxford but she was
in bed and he thought she was asleep
Not wishing to disturb her, Sergeant
Garden looked over the transom with a

ed her. She was frightened and thought
that some intruder had been in the
room and had lighted a match. She
left the room attired only in her night
gown and escaped by climbing down
pole in front of the building. After
reaching the sidewalk, she started
north on Kansas avenue. officer Frazier
stopped her at Crane street. She was
barefooted and with nothing to protect
her body from the weather excepting
her light cotton night robe, and was
suffering from the cold. He wrapped
his overcoat around her and made her
as comfortable as possible until the
potroI wagon took her to the police
station.
Her father, Frank Long, called at the
police station this morning and took
the girl away with him. He finally put
her on a street car and told her to go
home but she has disappeared and
nothing has been heard of her since
that time.
Grace Lang is reported to be the
adopted daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Lang. She was once an inmate
of the Girls Industrial school at Be
lott and is reported to have been at
the institution four years and to have
secured her release but two months
ago.
She makes a good appearance and
does not seem familiar with the ways
of the world. 1t is likely that she will
be returned to the institution.
