Accept Craftsmanship of Play
ground Association

That he would not accept the chair
manship of the playground associa-
ton was announced yesterday by John
L. Kaul. president of the park COM
mission. He was rendered the position
and importuned to take the place by
committee from the playground asso-

question under consideration until yes
terday when he announced that he
could not take the place. Mr. Kaul,
whose interest in recreation grounds,
parks and other propositions connect
ed with the playground movement. Is
widely known, said the lack of time
was the only reason he refused to ac-
cept the chairmanship.
II am connected with the park COM
mission said Mr.. Kaul. I'm addition,
have great many propositions to
look after. The result is that my time
is constantly occupied. I informed the
committee for the playground associa-
tion that i would be with them in ev-
cry step of the work; that would as
sist them in every way, but as far as
the Craftsmanship is concerned, must

BEST CATARRH DOCTOR
Has Benefited Thousands-WiII Do
the Same for You or Money Back

This is the HYOMEI
inhaler. the little doctor
that has cured many
thousands of sufferers
of catarrh, sniffles, bron-
chitis, coughs and colds.
It's easy and pleasant
to cure yourself with
HYOMEI. Just pour a
few drops in the inhaler,
and breathe it in. The
healing, soothing and
antiseptic air will reach
every nook and crevice of
the mucous mem mbrane of
the nose and throat; will
stop the irritation almost
immedia tely: will allay
the Inflammation, drive
out the foul odor; kill the
germs and Danish the dis

.SLOSS CONTROVERSY
is HELD Up FOR TIME
Understood City's Proposal
Is Being Considered
in New York

The eity's fight against the Sloss COM
pans has been halted, until at least March
Is, according to an announcement at the
city hall yesterday.
The instructions to Captain Boyd. city
attorney. to file suit against the company
and force the opening of Second avenue
through the Stag pile have been held in
abeyance. Nothing will be done for some
days. The reason for the halt as ex-
planned was the desire of local Sloss COM
pany officials to SECURE the approval of
New York officials to the compromise sug-
gested by the city.
The offer of the city is considered to
have sound basis for a compromise,
else the offer would not have been carried
to New York. President Maben has been
here some time, and he has ample author
ity TO reject an unsuitable offer. How
ever, the fact that he intends to carry
the offer to the eastern interests indi-
Gates that some final adjustment of the
mooted slag pile controversy may be
reached.S

TOO MANY 4IARITY
PATIENTS FROM STATE

Montgomery, February 22.-(Special) =
The Charity hospital at New Orleans has
registered protest against receiving so
many charity patients from the state of
Alabama.
In a letter to Governor O'Neal this pro
test was sounded rather strongly by DR..
J.. p Delahonissaye, secretary of the hos
pital, who declared that patients are con-
stantly being sent to the institution for
treatment by physicians in Alabama. DR..
Delahonissaye said the hospital was be-
ing Qvercrowded and asked for relief, or
that some provision might be made by
which the expenses of these patients
might be betrayed.
