CAREY FOR PARK
BOARD RULING
MOVIES"
Police Know Nolhing of COntroII-
ing Recreation, He Says.
Offers Suggestions.

Dan Carey, general manager of
parks and Fairgrounds, gave out an
interview Wednesday rapping the
city's methods of regulating recrea-
ton in motion picture shows, dance
halls and pool rooms. The gist of
Mr. Careys idea is that these insti-
tutions of leisure should be under
the direction of the Park Department
under trained men who have made a
scientific study of conditions, instead
of being controlled by the police and
other departments. He charges that
proper regulation has been neglected.
The immediate insuiratlon for his
statement is the movement on the
part Of a number of Coucilmen to kill
the ordinance of Councilman George
H. Boynton barring the wearing Of
tights and short skirts on the stages
of theaters.
"shows Are Recreation"
He said:
The dance halls Of the city, which
are essentially a part Of the recreation
of the people, are regulated by the
Police Committee of Council. Members
of the Police Committee ! am conf
dent. have never made study of rec
reatlOn. The same thlng lS true OF the
pool rooms and moving picture shows,
and an investigation would doubtless
show that there are other phases of our
recreational life, either not being reg
ulated a. all, or being regulated by de-
partments which look at them from the
wrong viewpoint
There are several distinct dangers in
moving picture shows. The first is
physical mean the danger Of fire; the
danger to public health on account Of
the lack of proper ventilation, the dan
ger to eyesight. because Of imperfect
apparatus the danger from lack Of prop
er cleaning.
Moral Danger, Too.
THE second danger lis moral, which
comes from the character of the pic
lures or the performance.
THE dance halls Of Atlanta never
have been regulated, except in inquir-
ing into the character of the men VINO
operated them and by occasional po-
lice supervision, Blu THE police are not
educated 20 think along the lines Of
wholesome public recreation.
THE pool room situation is known
to almost every one and we all know
that pool rooms enter very largely into
the recreation of the people. Some OF
them are very, very bad. and they are
not beginning TO do their duty in the
way Of wholesome recreation. All Of
these should be supervised b. the Rec
reation Department"

TWAS A FINE NIGHT
Everybody Enjoyed the Banquet Ten
dered to NJ. Bishop and Hans
Christensen.

One of the incest affairs that was
eve engineered by a bunch of the u.
G. r. boys was that of last Saturday
night when a banquet was given to
two of the retiring officials OF 65. On
account of the limited size of the din
ing room the attendance was limited
forty, ladies' and gentlemen, but
Kellar & Boyd and their manager,
Mr.. Adams, certainly had a nice lay
out In the Annex and everybody had a.
fine time. "Bish." Is retiring from the
senior ~counselorship while Mr.. Chris
Hanson is just leaving the executive
committee. and they have both been
hard working members, doing all that
was required Of them just exactly
for the grand counselor and the senior
counselor was greatly worried at what
he considered the d~iscourtesy that
was placed on him when he was not
given a part in the arrangements, but
when the fact was exploded that 1t
vas for the two and he was OF
the two he was completely foored. It
is such gatherings as these that make
life worth while, and it is likely that
there will be more of them in the fu-
ture. The ladies who were present
were just as much pleased as the men.
Bishop has done more perhaps
than any other man to bring about
these mixed social gatherings be-
tween the travellers and their ladies,
and 1t is hoped that the new senior
counselor, Mr.. Cole. will make this
year just as good In this way as the
that Is Just closing.

TERROR STRIKER
IS HAMMERUD
MPGRANN'S MAMMOTH
PITCHER is GETTING INTO PRAC-
TICE. AND THE BATsMEN ARE
EXPECTED TO FALL LIKE BLADES
OF GRASS BEFORE A sCYTHE.

When Manager McGrann, of the Fargo
counefl of the United Commercial Trav-
elers baseball team, selected Andy
Hammerud as h man to occupy the
principal figure on the diamond he had
a two-fo1d purpose one of which was
his great skill in twtrling tho ball and
the other was to strike terror into the
minds of the opposing nine.
merud, in order to conform to his size,
was entirely too large for this page
ano as 1t couldn't be printed in sections
he delight that the readers of the
travellers pas might have had in see
ing 1T will have to end in disappoint-
nlent. He is the biggest member of
o., stands sway over six feet, is built
accordingly and there is not the slight,
dirt" on him.
Mr., Hammered has a pleasing face,
a kindly face, but at the suggestion of
"Bish." who is the advisory of the
Tom Dunn. who will teach him the art
of looking fierce and fiery, this being
done in order that his pleasant face
may not be the means of giving the
is hoped hat IL he can get the scowl
that Dunn gets on when a fellow gets
away behind in his dues that no bats
man will be able to hit anything but
air. He won't want to, fearing that
Mr.. Hammered will do something dire.
There may be something in the art of
pitching that the star pitcher of Nc
Grams team doesn't know, but there
isn't any other member of the team
knows what it is, or dares to tell it.
Mammerud can, in a pinch, stretch
himself half way from the pitchers
box to home, keep his feet in the o
and send a ball across the plate in
such a way that it will fall gently
into the hands of the catcher and the
batsman will never see it a all.
He has never yet let out his full
strength in a game of ball, At times
he has intended to knock the v OF
the ball, but on second sober thought
he has always withdrawn the intent
and has mostly managed to carve large
holes in the air-with his bat. He is
all right in the game and as an ath-
lete has anything in 65 skinned over
a mile and a half. a.

some SPRING POETRY
The Several Hotel Clerks Have
Rranehed Out for the Edifieation
of the Travellers.

At the earnest solicitation of the
travelling men in general the several
hotel clerks of the city have finally
agreed to bubble forth into spring
song or ecstacy as they call it. Some
of the efforts were almost herculean,
while in other cases the poet muse
was simply waiting to be tappedS Here
is the effusion of Bill Laimer, of the
Gardner:
Springs on her way
I'm all agog,
Today came a ,
Seed catalogue
Joe Rolfe. OF the Annex, thus burst
into song:
Springs on her way.
Take it from me;
Do not delay
The sassafrass tea.
Mike Cole when shown the above
said, az can beat that a mile,'' and he
dotted off the following:
Springs on her way,
And I suppose s
That's why l can't
Breathe through my nose.
Doc Young Of the Waldorf, always
thinking of his own welfare, writes:
Springs on her way,
But lest you freeze
Don't yet put on
Your B. ". DIS.
Bob Mcintyre, also of the Waldorf,
as might be expected when writing of
the spring, brings into mind some
thing about the fair sex, n here it is:
The Easter bonnets 81
Small and nice
In every detail
But the price.

More Members are Wanted for 65 for
the Special Meeting That VIII
= Be Held March 20.

Every member of IS is expected to
constitute himself a member of a COM
mittee to secure new members who
will be initiated on the evening OF
March 30. This is the meeting night
that has been fixed for h taking In
of candidates by the grand counselor.
He has decided to attendsthe meeting
in the town that has the largest class,
and the number of candidates must be
sent to him by Wednesday evening,
March rs, so he can make his decision
rs to the town he has to go to. The
idea of this attempt to get in new
members in the district by the whole
sale route is SO that 5001 members will
be had by the end of the term. II the
extra one over 5000 is secured it viii
mean that this grand jurisdiction Will
get one additional representative on
the supreme council, a thing that is
greatly to be desired. Dave Oman has
been scratching his head in his EFFORTS
to think where he is going to get some
candidates and he will be assisting In
the work of landing them by William
'Bilr, Grasse, the two big hustlers OF
the council. IT is hoped that every
other member in the council Will start
OH a hunt for new members. Fargo
has never taken a back seat for any
other council in the district and she
don't want to do so on this occasion.
