| The playground movement in Amer
lea by which it is sought to place the
natural activities of children of both
sexes under the direct supervision OF
competent instructors that they may
attain high standards of physical and
moral development is discussed in an
illustrated article by Grant M. Hyde
in the October Popular Mechanics
Magazine. A great many interesting
experiments have been made in con
nection with the Fairgrounds, AMI
location and equipment very widely.
Mr.. Hyde states:
"One playground in New York City
occupies a site that is valued at 81 $780,
600, but this is unusual. Vacant lots
ir congested districts, areas useless for
commercial purposes, and bits of land
in out-of-the-way places are rapidly
being made into Fairgrounds. Phila-
delphia has laid out tiny Fairgrounds
under railroad viaducts; Reading, Pa
has a playground on the concrete roo>
of a water reservoir; Springfield, o,
io utilizing the grounds around a city
standpipe. Amusement piers have
been built in some cities, and Boston
has floating both houses for the small
boys.
Certain standard forms of play and
apparatus are pretty generally pres
ent in all Fairgrounds. Swings, see
saws, slides, giant strides dan gymnas-
tic apparatus are always the first
things provided. Swimming pools are
quite as common. For the smaller
children most Fairgrounds have sand
piles and wading pools. The love of
competitive play has brought facilities
for group games-baseball, tennis,
basket ball, volley ball, and in some
places, football and lacrosse. These
are for the oder children but war
games, hikes hare and hounds, folk
dances and other games, invented
sometimes by the children themselves,
are being developed for the little tots,

asylum, from which he escaped.
Seated only few feet from William

SENDING PUBLIC
FROM DISTRICT
COLLEGE HERE
SCHOOL FILLED TO CAPACITY
Students Coming In Sent to
Other Schools

The unusual spectacle of college
turning away students simply for lack
of further accommodations is now wit
messed at the Third District Agricul-
tural college in Americus, though he
it said that this is done with sincerest
regret by Supt. Collum, who would
gladly enroll all who come there seek
ing an education, if it were possible
for him to do so.
The college dormitories, however
are filled to their capacity, both the
boys dormitory and Crawford Wheat
lev hall, the modern and beautiful
building completed within the last
year and designed as a dormitory for
girls and containing also the large
and we'll appointed college dining hall
Not a foot of space is left" sail
Supt. John NJ Collum yesterday, land
pupils who have recently applied for
admittance here are sent to the other
district colleges"
The Americus institution has now
enrolled more than one hundred board
ing pupils, none other than boarders
being admitted to the school. These
pupils represent a score of south Geor-
gia counties while many come from VI
the state, and from other states as
well, such is the excellent reputation
o. the Third District school.
Maintained under strict military dis
4pline, the school has prospered as
has none other of the state district col
leges The class-rooms are filled up
and the need of additional teachers as
we'll as additional room is sorely felt
by the excellent management. These
provided, the school could easily dou-
BILE its enrolment.
But before this can be done; before
young people of moderate means, un-
able to attend more expensive colleges
can obtain here the education they
seek, additional facilities must be pro-
Vlded. The school has outgrown itself
and far surpassed the expectations OF
its projectors and those who have
stood by it and made it the best of its
class.
The Americus school needs more
money to carry on the splendid educa-
uonal work it is now doing.

RAILROADS WILL
OPPOSE Speed
LIMIT PROPOSED
ORDINANCE IS UP AGAIN
For Final Passage, If Council
Desires

The city council of Americus in ses-
sion tonight will pass finally upon the
recently introduced ordinance which
is intended to regulate the speed OF
railway trains at street crossings with
in the city. The six-mile speed ordi-
nance was passed at the meeting OF
two weeks ago.
If the ordinance is adopted tonign.
as in all probability will be the case
railway trains cannot be operated here
at speed exceeding six miles an hou-
Any violation of the ordinance will
subject the engineer and conductor CT
such train to fine.
Accidents occurring here recently
/ wherein automobiles and wagons have
been smashed and the loss of life nar-
rowly averted has induced the city
council to adopt the proposed safe
guard.
1t was suggested yesterday by a
member of the council that represent
atives of the railways here might pro-
test against the final adoption of the
ordinance, but this is not known to be
true. AS nearly all street crossings
are near the two passenger stations,
the reduction of speed to six miles
an hour will work. no hardship.
In the event of the passage of the or
dinance the railroads would, it is said,
have to exercise more than usual eau
ton, for should a fatality occur as
the result of fast running, the compa-
ny, in any resulting suit for damages,
would have to defend the charge or
having violated a city law as we'll.
The railway speed ordinance and
other matters of equal interest will
hold the attention of the councilmen
tonight in fortnightly meeting.

CHICKEN SEASON
CLOSED TODAY
MANY DEER HUNTERS GOING To-
MONTANA AND MINNESOTA
BECAUSE OF NEW NJ. .. LAW
SIX WEEKS LEFT 70 SHOOT
DUCKS AND GEESE.

This is the last day in which prairie
chickens n grouse a be shot IN
North Dakota in 1913. The chicken
season is reported by hunters to have
been a good one with plenty of birds
and all large and well developed early
in the season. There appear to be a
large number left for breeding next
year and if the conditions are as
favorable next spring as last the
sportsmen Of the state should have
plenty Of fun in the fall of 1914.
The deer shooters Of North Dakota
will have to go elsewhere this year
for their sport. Under the new game
laws deer cannot be shot in this state
Until Nov. 10, 1916, and then only
grown males. A large number Of
North .Dakotans% are planning to go
this: fall to- Montana and to. Mime
sofa. The big game in both those
states is reported plentiful. &.
The open season, for shooting ducks
and geese continues. until dec. is, but
with the small pot holes and sloughs
frozen. up there sHnot much chance
for the hunters except on the larger
bodies Of water. If there should be
milder weather later this month the
pot holes may open up and there may
be excellent shooting as advices from
northern Canada are to the effect that
millions Of ducks still remain in that
section on the larger bodies of water
and feeding on the stubble in northern
Saskatchewan. : The chief grief for

FOOTBALL IN
MOVING PICTURES

The. Line Up. a special football feat
ure in two parts, will be shown at all
performances at, the Bijou theatre to-
night. It is a clever story of college
football, and will interest all lovers of
the gridiron game. The story Is as
follows:
Larry Pendleton, the captain Of the
ade Dan HARDWOOD. the great quarter
back Of the Pennsylvania team, to en-
ter a professional foot race. He is
jealous because Edith Livingston
seems to favor Danny more than he
and he knows that Dan is the main
stay Of his team, which Is to play Rex
ton the coming week.
Harvey Livingston, Edith's brother,
Is a somewhat worthless reprobate,
but is kept more II less straight by
Danny. He becomes treasurer of the
Pennsylvania team through the COM
bination Of his fathers and Dams in
~f1uence.
Harvey, who is going rapidly to the
dogs, takes some of h money entrslst-
ed to his care and spends 1t on a bunch
Of chorus girls. The next morning,
when he Is sober, he goeslto Dan and
confesses what he has done. In order
THAT the brother Of the girl he loves
shall not fail into disgrace, Dan &C.
cepts the proposition to race profess
sionally, although he knows that he
will jeopardize his position with his
team.
The day Of the great game arrives.
The professionalism subject comes up,
but that is quieted 8 and in the last
few minutes of play Dan changes the
score from 10 to o against Transyl-
vania, to 10 to 10, scoring a touch
down a few seconds before the last
whistle sounds.

shown at the Bijou tonight only. Same

IN
THE HOUSEHOLD
ELECTRICITY in THE HOUSE
HOLD is BECOMING so CON-
MON IN THE CITIES THAT.IT is
NO LONGER A NoVELrY-Ev-
ERYRODY USING IT. s

The chief reason why electric iron
ing is best is that the iron makes its
own heat inside of itself and keeps it
as long as the current Is turned on.
This enables the user to get along
with only II iron and avoids the ne
cessity Of running back and forth
between the stove and the ironing
board.
Every woman knows that this Is
the hardest part Of the work. .
The electric iron keeps itself at: a
constant temperature, is always per-
fectly clean and the*heat is applied in
the most efficient manner-directly
from the bottom Of the iron. All the
heat is used in the actual work of
ironing and therefore the tempera-
ture Of the room is not ~appreciably
increased as with the old fashioned
irons heated on a stove. With proper
use there is nothing about the cleo
trio iron to wear out.
The first cost is the total invest
ment cost. Irons for household serv-
ice may be purchased for an average
price Of about $3.50. They vary in
weight from five to eight pounds and
cost about 5 cents an hour to operate.
Except when the iron is in use there
is no expense for current. More than
1000 00 electric irons were sold in the
United States during 1911 and the
demand this yea has ben even larg-
er.
The American housewife has been
quick to realize that here is an easier.
quicker, better and cheaper way, of
performing a, task. that everybody
looks upon as more or less of a bug
bear. With this new device, ironing
has come as near to being a pleasure
as ever it will be. . "

sci Of any description 10 he rolled out
of the bed and out OF q flmaratfme life.
Then efforts were made to stop the
rampant geyser. but to no avail. The
streams played. and seemed to enjoy
it. The walls and the ceiling We're
