PLANNING KIDS DAYS
At THE CITY PARKS
ONE DAY EACH WEEK FOR
THE CHILDREN TO TAKE
CHARGE.
IT'S ONE GRAND IDEA
Park Board Wants the Young
sters to Enjoy Tulsa's Beauti-
full Parks.
,By FRANK L. MANGAND.

over in one corner OF the fourth
floor Of the city hall there is a set Of
men with a new idea. At least IT is
new in Tulsa. Unless you have chill
dren or like children or unless you
realize that little Johnny Jones-aged
anywhere from 8 to 20-and his sis
ter are the most important citizens
in Tulsa. this new idea will not inter
est you in the least. In Tulsa, as In
every other city. II Is difficult for Mr..
and Miss Jones 10 find a place where
they can carry on the real business OF
their lives-Hhich Is to play ball and
skipping rope-without being inter
fered with by policemen and other
stupid people who have been careless
enough to grow up.

TWILIGHT SLEEP"
BABY DOING WE'LL

Des Moines, Oct. 15.-Des Moines'
first twilight" baby, a ten pound boy,
was born last evening at the Iowa
Methodist hospital under the direction
of DR.. Bertha Van Hoosen, the Chicago
expert in the use of the famous an
aesthetic which produces subcon-
seriousness that is kown as twilight
Sleep"
DR. Van Hoosen is attending the
twenty-fourth annual meeting Of the
Tri-State Medical society at the Saw
cry hotel and read paper at o'clock
on the anaethetic which has challeng-
ed widespread attention. Many wom-
en- were present at the meeting. In an
interview yesterday regarding the an
aesthetic DR.. Van Hoosen said:
mo i'll effects have followed the use
of the anasethetic either to mother or
child. The mixture is not used ex-
clusiveIy inS obstetrical cases but it
has been employed in various surgical
operations instead of ether to deaden
pain. It's results have been markedly
successful"
DR.. Van Hoosen said that she has
used the anaesthetic in Obstetrical
cases for about eight years. She was
successful from the first but owing
to the predujice of both medical pro-
fession and the public she discon-
tinued it's use for time.

THE OPPONENTS.

In staying qualities the two great
groups, now at war in Europe, if each
are about equal. The German and
maintains it's strength undiminished,
Austrian allies command better equip
ped, better trained and more easily
handled armies. On the water, how
ever. the Entente has great advant-
age Naval experts are wont to mea-
sure sea strength by tonnage, number
of guns, and weight of projectiles.
Measured by this test, the central
European powers are only half as
powerful as the combination against
them. The figures given for the en-
tente are, in round numbers, tonnage,
2,00O,OOO; guns, 500; projectile weight,
$4,000; those for the Dreibund are:
tonnage, 100000; guns, $50; projectile
weight, 200, 000 The countries of the
triple alliance are more compact and
will find it easier to supply and move
their figh ting forces. Both Germany
and Austria, however, depend very
largely for food supplies upon importa-
ton. The government at Berlin re-
Gently announced that it could hold
out, with blockaded ports, for year.
The hulk of the land fighting forces
of the entente,-the Russians,-are
less highly trained and less efficient
than the Germans. Britain, moreover,
it is said. cannot live more than two
months on the food she has within her
borders at any one time. On the other
hand, France produces surplus food
stuffs, chiefly wheat, and Russia is a
limitless granary. England maintains
her mighty fleet to keep her doors
open for food. If her ships should de-
stroy the German navy and blockade
German ports, the kaiser's armies may
be expected to take their attention
from France and devote all their
energies to Selling the grain lands OF
Russia From Europe at War;" by
Louis E. Van Norman, in the American
Review of Reviews for September.

aimed right up to the minute and

trained right up to the minute and
primed for the fray.
1t was like fight between two box
ers, one trained right up to the time
of stepping into the ring and the
other without having trained for two
months.
The lesson that men in general
should get out of the worlds series is
that they should keep themselves on
edge by putting forth their best eff
forts all the time. Set goal far
enough ahead to keep hustling II it is
to be attained and then go after 1t.
If you stop hustling and settle back
satisfied that you have done enough,
when opportunity presents itself, 1t
will be the man who has kept hustling
right up to the minute who will cap
ture the benefits-not the one who
has lost his edge by getting out OF
condition.

program of the second annual law
alumni banquet to be held Friday even
ing, October %, in the library of the
law building in honor of Judge Emlin
McClain's return to the law faculty as
dean.
Last year this law banquet was
tried as an experiment, when Iowa
played Ames, and it was so successful
that the general association decided to
hold it again at the 1914 homecoming
1t is probable that permanent law
association will be formed for the pur-
pose of conducting the annual event.
The banquet for the members of the
Upper Des Moines Editorial associa-
ton and the Associated Advertising
clubs of Iowa, given by the Iowa City
Commercial club will take place on
Thursday evening, Oct. %, at the
Hotel Jefferson.

THE FIRE WASTE,

The loss due to fires in the United
States and Canada during the last
year was s224,423,35O. This is an
amount sufficient to keep an army as
large as that of France in the held LOT
month. We speak of the waste due
to war but seldom think of the stu
penduous waste that occurs in times
of peace, largely as result OF pre-
yentable causes. The fire waste fails
to make an impression on the people
for the reason that it is so distributed
here and there that it does not at
tract attention. If the losses due to
fire came out of the federal treasury
the people would soon begin>to give
heed to the expense. But the losses
are paid by each man or woman VINO
carries insurance, and the rates 1or
fire insurance will be reduced only as
people are more careful in preventing
