CHILDREN STARS
GUESTS AT OPERA
Hundreds, Shouting JoyousIy,
Lay Siege to Theatre at
Olympic Park.

Hundreds of happy children were
romping about Olympic Park this aft
ernoon waiting for the opening of
the doors of the Olympic Park Opera
House, where they were the guests
of The Evening Star at the opera.
BY special arrangement. the door
through which the children were adj
mitted to the playhouse was sched-
uled to be open hair an hour be-
fore the performance of 1.-THE Mas
cot"
During the week many children
and their parents took advantage of
free admission to the park to holders
of Evening Star coupons. But the
throng which gathered at the amuse-
ment place today and presented the
coupons was far greater in number
than any day during the week. The
additional free attraction of the opera
proved highly popular.
A Haven from City's Heat.
The attendance of children and
their parents at the park during the
first week of free entertainment
showed conclusively that such a
haven is a necessity to the hundreds
of children who would otherwise be
compelled to play in the hot, stuffy
streets. In addition to being in a
resort where they could find protec-
ton from the suns rays, the children
were free from the noises and dam
gers of vehicular traffic and were
close to many novel amusements
which are unfamiliar sights in the
heart of the city,
]. Leonard Mason, secretary of the
Playground Commission, addressed
the children and helped in keeping
them busy during the afternoon.
The coupons entitle children under
the age of 16 and those under IL.
accompanied by parents or guardians,
to enter the park, free of charge,
at 10 o'clock in the morning and re"
main until o'clock in the evening.
This enabled the children to find
refuge from the days heat just when
the sun was becoming strongest and
their coupons allowed them to stay
until an hour in the evening when
the temperature became much cooler.
Welcome Substitute for Shore.
This arrangement has proved par
ticularly suitable to the children
whose parents are not in position
to take the youngsters out into the
country or to the shore for an OUT
ing. Many families journeyed to the
park in the forenoon and brought
along their lunches making the trip
an old-fashioned picnic.
A large majority of the youngsters
attending the performance of THE
Mascot" this afternoon have never
been In attendance at a comic opera
before.
, The coupons which were issued for
last Monday were not recognized at
the park yesterday afternoon, July 4,
as stipulated in the announcements
and on the coupons Next week the
children holding Evening Star cou-
pons will be able to use the park
as their stamping grounds all during
the week and witness another per-
Torrance at the opera house Satur-
day afternoon.

MIDST OF MANY PERILS

NEW YORK. July 5.-Almost 20
per cent. of the children of playing
age In New York city's streets Just
stand around doing nothing, waiting
for something to turn up This is
one of many points brought out as
the result of a census taken stimuli
taneously by 500 volunteer workers
assigned to observe the children at
play in the streets of New York be-
tween the hours of and o'clock
on a given day. The time chosen
was a sunny Saturday afternoon.
and the census included the count
of 120,1e7 boys anu girls in the
streets.
1t was learned that to remark
able extent the children devoted
themselves to healthful natural play
or at least tried to, despite the fact
that they were in the midst of most
dangerous and degrading surround
ings. One of the greatest elements
of danger lay in the fact that over
10000 adult loungers were counted
in the vicinity of the groups of the
playing youngsters.

EIGHTY WIDOWS
II SEEK PENSION AID
Throng County Clerks Office
to File Petitions Under
New Law.

About eighty widows visited the Of
!. flee of the county clerk, in the Court
House, today, to secure blanks for
applications for pensions under the
widows pension act. which became
effective yesterday, July 4. The law
was passed by the Legislature at the
regular session last winter.
The blank petitions are intricate
affairs, including a long string OF
questions that in some cases would
tax the mentality of a lawyer. When
the blanks were handed To the APP
plicants the widows were informed
that the papers must be filled in
triplicate. One copy is to be left at
the county clerk sc office for the
county pleas judge, another with the
overseer of the poor of the munich
pality in which the applicant lives,
and the third must be forwarded to
the State Board of Children's Guar
dams, at Jersey City.
Several women expressed dismay
when they were handed the blanks
and glanced over the list of questions
they are compelled to answer. One
widow declared she was perfectly
willing to do all in her power to COM
ply with the law and secure her pen
SION, but that she was certain she
would require the assistance of a
lawyer to fill out the blanks, and
this would probably cost her the en-
the amount allowed for one month
for widows in her circumstance
It was announced at the office of
the county clerk that petition blanks
had been issued to applicants in Essex
county by the Board of Guardians at
Jersey City and that these blanks
would be void. Judge of the Common
Pleas William P. Martin had ex-
amined a copy Of the blanks Issued
by the Board of Guardians and de-
clared this form of petition Is made
uuate. AS a result those widows VINO
have secured blanks from the Jersey
City board will be required to apply
for new blanks at the county clerks
office.
Petitions which have been filled out
from the blanks furnished by the
Board of Children's Guardians at Jer-
sew City will be rejected at the county
clerks office in the Court House here.
This will be done at the instigation
7of Judge Martin, who declared the
blanks issued at Jersey City do not
furnish the court with sufficient In
Formation on which to decide whether
or not the applicant Is entitled to re-
lief from the State.
