The Recreation Of Travel

A Woodworking business
man on a two-hour trip by a
finely equipped train, said:
1T is a positive pleasure to
me when / make this trip. 1
feel a sense of freedom and
mental holiday, which I can
find nowhere else. For the
time being / am like a boy
out of school, and there is
an added zest to the short
recess from business cares
in the comfortable surround
ings and the constantly
changing scenes"
In the comfort and ease
that the best type of rail-
road cars furnish today a
great many people find that
a railroad trip is a distinct
recreation. 1t differs from
life in a hotel only in the
absence of the palm garden
and the orchestra, but has
the added charm of pleasant
motion with the constantly
changing panorama of nat
ural scenery.
1t is a fact that change
and rest" is needful at
times and one in search of
it will find the first sense
OF it on a well appointed rail-
road train. The change" is
instantaneous and continuous,
the rest" is provided in the
comforts and conveniences of
a limited train.
Nothing has done so much
in later years to raise the
standard of railroad travel
from a dread to a pleasure
as the high grade of equip
ment, with corresponding ap-
pointments and the safeguard
ing of passengers by every
means that skill and capital
can devise.
From the time when the
Pennsylvania Railroad in
PRODUCED the first limited
train in 1881 to the present
day progress in the line of
making travel attractive and
popular has never faltered.
Ask the traveller of forty
years ago to compare the
present methods with those
OF the past and you will
appreciate how fortunate it
is to live and enjoy travel
in these days.

READY TO RESIGN
Memorial Hall Committee Has
Done All It Can.
MONEY is NOT YET RAISED
Subscriptions in Washington Not
Forthcoming as Rapidly as
Is Desired.

The finance committee in charge of
raising subscriptions for the George
Washington Memorial Convention Hall:
which is to be erected here at a cost Of
$2,J0O.GOo, is ready to stand aside, feeling
that it has done all the work it can. and
permit others to continue the raising Of
the $2J0.OOO. which is to be Washington's
share. The decision has been communi-
Gated to Mrs. Henry F. Dimock, of New
York, president of the George Washing
ton Memorial Association.
Mrs. Dimock. it is understood, has writ
ten letter to the members of the finance
committee, in which, as she expresses ii,
their resignation has been accepted, and
speaks of the failure on the part of
Washingtonians to perform their share
of the big undertaking which is to give
the National Capital the most splendid
Dimock. in her letter. also refers to the
fact that she herself has obtained pledges
of large subscriptions from Washingto-
mans, including ten-thousand-dollar SUBJ
scriptionS from Woodward & Lothrop,
Christian Heurich and $4,000 from Mrs.
John Hay.
Members Of the Committee.
The finance committee consists Of W.
V. Cox, chairman; Henry P. Blair. Sec
rotary; Henry 3. F. mcfarland, w. F.
Guide Charles J. Bell, Milton E. Allies and
w. D. Hoover.
Mr.. Cox, speaking for the committee to-
day. said that it had not resigned. but
that it had signified it's willingness to
have any other committee desired take up
the work of raising the subscriptions
sit is understood that the finance COM
mittee takes the stand that it was APP
pointed primarily to have the subscribers
to the old Convention Hall project, head
ed by George e. Hamilton, transfer their
subscriptions to the George Washington
subscribed to the old project. and the
committee has succeeded in getting about
$40, eco Of this amount transferred to the
new fund.
No Dividends in New Project.
The fact that the new project is not to
pay any dividends. while the old was to
pay per cent or more on the money in
vested. has had much to do in preventing
the transfer of large subscriptions from
the old to the new project. it is said.
The introduction of a bill by Senator
Root this session Of Congress providing
for site in the Mall for the George
Washington Memorial Hall has also had
the effect Of lettering Washingtonians
from contributing to the fund, it is said.
The committee has had these obstacles to
meet in its canvass.
Since the committee has used every
means in it's power to have the old SUBJ
scribers transfer to the new fund and has
gone over the ground with them careful
ly, the committee now feels that it has
finished its work, it is said.

duty with her sister. Mrs. Annie Kearns.
When a reporter for The Star saw Mrs.
Kearns this morning at the Nalley home
OH III street. she told him that either
she or Mrs. Nalley would positively swear
out warrants Monday morning for the ar
rest of Mrs. Bridges and Mr.. Boyle.
She was indignant at the treatment al
legged to have been given the boy and
said that Mrs. Nalley is not going to rest
until the case is prosecuted in the courts
IF Mrs. Nalley or myself had whipped
the boy with horse whip or had slapped
him in public, we would have been ar.

going to stand having any other person
doing what we ourselves cannot do. Mrs.
Bridges thrashed Joseph about the body
and legs. leaving marks, and We Will most
rest and for the arrest Of Mr.. Boyle, the
janitor. who held Joseph's head between
his knees and held him by his hands
while Mrs. Bridges beat him before the
entire class.
Story Told by the Boy.
Joseph described to the reporter how
he was whipped:
Mrs. Bridges called for the janitor to
come up as she had test That was
before she got out the whip"
The boy described how he tried to kick
at the 1anitor when the man seized him,
but said Boyle held his head so tightly
between his knees that he couldn't even
bite him."
II tried to kick his shins and he held
my arms up in the air so L could hardly
move.
Mrs. Bridges hit me all around with
the whip on the legs and back and every
where l turned except my head L don
know how many times she hit me be
cause / was trying to get away so nara
couldn't keep count.
Mrs Kearns admitted that Joseph had
played hockey from school for two
days and had hung about the streets with
some of his chums. He will return TO
school Monday morning.
Janitor Admits Participation.
Robert Boyle, the janitor. when asked
about the whipping said:
II held him when he was whipped. Mrs
Bridges sent word for me to come up as
thing I had to do was obey or / would
lose my position. The boy was just
tapped about the legs a little.
When asked just what he meant by
tapped Boyle explained that MIS-.
Bridges merely whipped him lightly win
the whip about the legs. below his knees
He said 1t could not have hurt ana ,ha'
the boy was not touched about the BODY:
He was asked il he had ever held
any other boys when they were WHIP
ped and answered.:
Il have been here for about five years
and / often am called on to help the
teachers whip the boys They are
hard to handle, and il more or them
were whipped there would be less trou-
Bile. They deserve what they get and
what's the use OF boy going TO school
at all if he runs away?
He said the whip was locked up and
that Mrs Bridges had the key. The
whip is about three feet long. and
is pretty stiff. l suppose it's some
thing like "a horsewhip.

Heating Ward Schools.

Is il not time that the citizens OF
this city began to think seriously OF
the proposition discussed some days
since in the columns OF the Ardmore-
ite? The question of the proper heat
ing and ventilation OF the ward
schools.
II is all wen enough for us TO talk
of the old log school house of other
days, as compared 10 the present
structures, but we should remember
that while all these old field struc-
lures of learning were heated with
an open fireplace filled with gr/lt
logs Of wood, that the very crudeness
of the buildings, themselves provid
ed an adequate means of ventilation
something not to be found in the mod
ernly constructed edifices.
Every winter with its coincident
coming of cold weather and the ac-
compartment of artificial heat, brings
more or less sickness among the chill
dren attending the schools. How much
of this sickness, or how many of the
deaths of school children during tne
winter months, are due to the mprop
erly ventila ed wani buildings, we can
only surmise. But it is conceded by
all and stated by some OF the best
medical authorities in the city-in the
entire state for that matter-that an
appallngly large percentage OF the
fatalities following such sickness are
due to no other source than the i'm
perfect heating and ventilating sys-
tens now in use in our ward schools.
We trust that this matter will re-
ceive the careful thought from our
school patrons that it merits and that
the public will find it their duty to
the children now attending school to
take some action in this matter. Ard
more is past the village stage. She is
city and as such should so con
struct her school buildings and see
to the proper equipment of the heat:
ing apparatus in these buildings The
cost OF Installing a modernly equip
ped heating plant, with the accoTnpa-
nying arrangement of a proper system
Of ventilation is very small. In fact,
it will be found to be nothing when

FROM PIT TO sUPERsTRUCTURE
Raw MATERIAL From Building Site Goes
into Structure.

In making the excavation for the
high school building the workmen
have struck deposit of shale. Those
who are judges say that this shale is
of very high grade and that it will
make a high class brick. At any
event this shale, as fast as it is being
dug out from the foundation eNcava-
ton, is being taken to the brick man
ufacturing plant and after going
through the pug mills les being burnt
into brick and returned to the con-
tractor to be used in the brick work
on the construction of the high school
building.
When the contract for the erection
of this building was let it was the
implied understanding that the con-
tractor would employ home labor and
lay in his power. 1t seems that he is
being enabled to 90 this understanding
one better when he finds that he can
take the waste from excavation and
have ii converted into a high class
building material out of which to con-
struct a part of the superstructure.
Ardmore has always been noted for
its natural resources, as are numer-
Gus other cities in this magnificent

mineral is dug, then one might call

]. w. Tyler, son of President F.
A. Tyler of the Tyler & Simpson
Co., was here yesterday for an hour
and called on Mr. Gates, manager
of the Ardmore house. Mr.. Tyler
states that perfect conditions with
reference to wheat and oats pre-
vailed in his county and that corn
was also looking well. Cotton is ra-
ther late but has a chance to make
full crop. The wheatcrop in
Cooke county is said to be better
than it has been for the past twelve
years.
Stanley Hornbeck has 96 Elberta
peach trees from which he expects
to gather 500 bushels of fine SAL
able peaches. He says the peach
crop this year is better than it
was a year ago and feels sure that
from the whole number of trees
this year he will get a little more
than an average of five bushels to
the tree.
Commissioner Bridgman stated to
an Ardmoreite reporter today that
the work of installing the pumping

boilers will be ready for the brick
work by the first Of the ensuing
week.
Emil F.. Colbert who was in from
Hewitt today stated that the crop
prospects in his section of the coun
try were simply great. When ask
ed his opinion of the weather con-
ditions the gentleman said that the
idea that great many had that
the farmers were suffering for rain
was an erroneous one He said that
there was an abundance of moisture
in the ground yet and that corn had
taken so good root that 1t would
take several more days of dry wea-
ther to affect that crop. Oats and
wheat are made. the gentleman said
further. In fact the oat harvest is
well near completed and the wheat
ripening fast He says that in his
opinion people are alarmed unnec-
essarily.

A PitifuI Case.

\ day or so since the proprietor of
one of the hotels of this city notified,
the chief of police that there was
stopping at his hotel a young girl
who was without proper chaperonage
and who was not demeaning herself
in the most proper of ways
Chief Braziel investigated the case
and found the young girl to be but
fifteen years of age. She looked even
younger, She gave her name TO the
officer and told him her story. It
seems from the girls statement that
her father is floating member of
the fraternity of the green cloth and
that her mother is at present serv-
ing out a Jail sentence in another
city, charged with conducting a dis
orderly house. The girl stated that
she was alone in the world so far as
other kth or kin We're concerned. She
however told the chief that she be-
l'eved that her father would care for
heI if she could only get to him. The
chief has sent her TO the town where
her father claims his headquarters
ard wired him to meet her.
Would not cases of this sort be well
worthy the careful investigation OF
all societies for the protection OF
young girls and the care of their
life's welfare?
