association before introducing any of
the other speakers. In his address he
stated that the city of Birmingham
owned about one million and half dol
lars worth of land, only part of which
was improved and that one of the pur-
poses of the association was to get the
city to improve this land and use it for
Fairgrounds so that the people could
get the greatest use out of it.
Fairgrounds Expert Speaks
Mr. Nesblt then introduced Montague
Cannon, director of the local play
grounds, saying that he was a former
Georgia boy and that he had come to
Birmingham to help put the Fairgrounds
on a practical basis Mr.. Cannon first
summarized briefly the work that has
been done in the short interval OF time
since the Fairgrounds were opened. In
speaking Of the attendance at the play
grounds he stated that during the first
week there had been an average daily
attendance of 1863 persons; second week,
41S; third week, 593; fourth week.. 524,
and this week four days., $50. The total
attendance during the first week was 21S3;
second week, 2S74 third week, 1850; fourth
week, 3147, and this week (four days. 2241.
He also mentioned the supervisors in
at the Central High school Eight per-
sons were in attendance at the first one
held about a month ago and this num-
Der has steadily increased until now the
number in attendance is never below "a.
Dr. j. N. Hankins, representing the
Wahouma playground at East Lake, was
the next called on for a talk He told
of the forming of the East Lake play
ground association, of the opening of
the Wahouma playground and of large
number of objections to the playground
which had arisen, and how these had been
srrmounted. The one great need of
Wahouma, he said was man instruc-
tor to take care of the elder boys.
Elmer c. Thurston of Avondale park
followed DR.. Hankins. He gave a snort
history of the forming of the Avondale
Park association and its development.
He also related of the installing of the
playground apparatus and of their ambi-
tion to make Avondale park the greatest
playground in the south.
Representing East park was Burr Black
burn. He told what the city ought to
do in the way of providing Fairgrounds
for the relief of the children who live
in the crowded sections of the city; of
the good work which is being accom-
plished at East park and of the hope Of
those In charge that it would soon be-
come the model park of the city.

STRANGE TO LATIN. FERV0R
Visitors In Sicily Misunderstood Lam
guage and Gestures Of
Peasant Beauty.

In Sicily you must not believe
everything you think you hear, and
above all, you must not act rashly
upon first impressions. When a
Sicilian is feeling well, his "Good
morning, sir!" sounds like Sparta
Gus to the Gladiators." When anyone
addresses you as if murder was con-
tempiated, with yourself as the VIC
tim, be easy. He is probably express
ing polite wish for a pleasant jour
ney. In "Vistas in Sicily" Mr.. Ar
thur Stanley Riggs gives his own ex-
perience of this characteristic Latin
fervor and infection:
On our first morning in Taormina,
Withholding peasant beauty, bear
ing upon her shapely head huge
dripping amphora, stopped us with
uncouth gestures and a laugh 50 eld-
ritch that it startled us. Jerking
her finger at La Signora, she poured
forth torrent of imprisoned Sicil-
ian dialect that we could not under
stand, although l suspected she was
saying that we were unfit to be in
Taormina, and had better leave i'm
mediately.
Unpleasant thoughts of the Maj
fiusi, the "Black Hand" we loosely
call them, swept through me. The
girls utterance was so fierse, her ex-
preston SO menacing, l wondered
whether she might not be really an
agent of the dreaded band. But be-
fore my combined annoyance and
alarm led me into difficulties, two
Toarminians came up, and explained
in Italian, "The signorina is afraid
your signora will lose her handker-
chief. 1t is falling out of her belt"
/ was glad / had not shouted for
the police.
When i asked the girl, who could
understand Italian perfectly, al
though she spoke none herself, if l
might photograph her, she consented,
and refused any gratuity. Then she
wished us a torrential good day, and
vanished up the black and smoky
stairs Of a stone hut on one Of the
side streets.-Youth's Companion.
