THE VACATION HABIT
An Excellent Thing From Every Point
Of View, Says Writer

An Excellent Thing From Every Point
Of View, Says Writer
Thetwo latest acquisitions OF civil
ization have been habits OF industry
and the infectious diseases. And
one is tempted sometimes to wonder
which is the more deadly. SO there
is no lack of convincing answers to
the question. why is a vacation
We might as we'll ask. why is sleep?
The steady and extraordinary
growth of the vacation habit in Amer
lean life rests on the soundest posi-
BILE basis and is one OF the most whole
some and encouraging signs OF the
times, writes DR.. Woods Hutchinson,
in Country Life in America. Such
junketings would have utterly puzzled
II not Mortified our Puritan ancestors
and our agricultural forbears. as II
does their survivors in the goth CEN
fury. But it is a sign not OF friyolity
and idleness, but of harder and more
efficient work than ever in the world
before. We play more regularly and
frequently than we ever did before be
cause we are working harder and
more enthusiastically in the intervals
between. A vacation is not a vacuum
nor a sign of mental vacancy.
The country vacation habit has
come to stay, first. because II is an
excellent thing for man to get clear
outside OF his business, or profession
for at least a month every year, and
day and half every week so as
to get good view OF II from the out
side and see II as IL really Is. Let
him take time enough of out under
the sky, among the woods and tht
meadows, the silver rivers and the
singing brooks, to become maj
again instead of mere money-coin
ing machine, and he will come bacl
to his desk with fresh taste In hi
mouth. an eye keen and clear TO div
ide the important from the trivial
and positive greed for attacking
difficulties and solving problems.
A second reason for the vacation
habit Is that II restores TO moderl
life that natural rhythm OF work an,
rest. Of busy season and slack season
that dependence upon season an,
weather and soil which has broke
when we moved permanently indoors
II is almost impossible TO run an
business, which has TO be carrie,
on outdoors, six days out Of the wee
and II months out OF the year.

LUBY ENGAGED
Northampton Gets Him for It's Ball
Team

The directors oil he Northampton
baseball association met last Thurs
day evening and practically decided
to engage Bill Luby as manager of
the new team, which will be in the
Twin State league. Former Manager
Luby was present and had long in
terview with the directors. He gave
his terms for the season and they
were acceptable. There are some lit
tie details TO be arranged, but there
seems to be no question whatever
that the popular former manager will
again be field head OF Northampton
team.
There has been a demand that he
be at the head II such a thing could
be arranged. and no sooner was the
association organized than the direc.
tors got busy and the first thing they
did was TO correspond with Mr. Luby
There is a feeling that his manage
ment OF the team will insure success
The association has decided to be-
come incorporated This will relieve
the officers from personal responsible
ity. Some of them were unwilling
to retain office II there was pros
pect that they might have to make
up a deficit at the end of the season.
The directors of the Three Counties
society will meet in a day or two and
arrange the details of the rent for
the grounds The directors are UNI
willing that the old bleachers be re-
moved from the end of the grand
stand, where they have been doing
service as an addition to its seating
| capacity. The association will have
to erect new bleachers, but outside of
this there seems to be no trouble in
securing the driving park
The funds have been increased to
$500 and there is every prospect that
the $1,000 needed can be raised in
a few days. When the association
becomes Incorporated the shares will
be $40 each. Manager Luby will be-
gin at once in signing players and II
is hoped that the first game can be
played Memorial day.

OPPOSE AWARD OF JURY.
Willow Tree Alley Property Owners
Heard by Court.

Resolutions of opposition to the con-
firmation Of the award of jury which
condemned property in square 534. in
South Washington. known as Willow Tree
alley, and assessed a large portion Of the
costs Of purchase on surrounding prop
erty, were read today to Justice Bar
nard, before whom the case was tried.
The resolutions were adopted at mass
meeting Of adjacent property holders sew
eral months ago. The hearing today was
on exceptions. to the award taken by nu-
merous property holders. against whom
assessments for benefits were levied by
the jury.
In their resolutions the dissatisfied
owners say that more than 1000 persons
occupied homes in the alley and no re-
quest was made by surrounding residents
for the demolition of the dwellings in the
alley. The scheme to turn the place into
an interior park. they say. came from
some misguided civic improvement So
ciety," and was not advocated by owners
of land in the square.
The hearing was in progress late this
afternoon. A number Of attorneys were
heard on behalf Of the property owners.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Smith de-
Tended the award of the jury.

Enrolment in District Shows
Gain of About 700 Over Same

tendent Of schools, today. after the
latest enrollments of the several branches
OF the school system had been ad-
ded. The enrolment has increased
steadily since the opening day of school,
and the present enrolment shows a gain
of about 700 pupils over the same time
last year.
OF the 55,2S5 pupils who are now en-
rolled as pupils 3142 belong to the night
classes. The present enrolment shows
gain of nearly 400 since October IS.
The number of pupils enrolled on that
day was 54.5j3 with the night schools
and 81, 456 without that branch. October
4. before the night schools were opened,
the total enrolment was 50,142.
Although the law denying free admis-
sion of out-of-town pupils whose parents
are not taxpayers here has shown it's eff
feet on the school enrolment this year.
the effect has not been as marked as it
was thought by some it might be. Not
a small number of boys and girls resid-
ing outside Of the District have paid their
tuition fee for admission.
