He explained in detail and with great care the various pIaygrounds now in use. He said thatlh he favored ] the public playground of. the city be- cause it developed manliness, and made them better and more useful citizens. He advocated a complete outdoor gymnasium, where the boys and girls of the neighborhood could come at any time, and where they could play the games that appealed the most to them.
 A number of Bridgeporters then 1 asked the proper means by which more pIaygrounds could be secured for the city They displayed a lively interest in this form of juvenile wei fare and the speakers declared that they felt amply recompensed at this show of enthusiasm on the part of the visitors.

 Another question brought up for discussion. was. ssShould non-resfdents be passed on unless destination is known to be responsible for them ?'' Many favored the city in which they, found themselves upon finding them selves destitute, owing to the. svari- ance of the existing residence laws in the various states.
 Mother pensions were ther taken up. This plan was pronounced desir- able by the delegates if the state in svestigated properly the conditions in the family receiving them It was pointed out that the better class of people did not desire thems and that the others became pauperized by this plan. Several instances were shown where a dependent child had grown into manhood and yet refused togwork because of the pension his another received. This. however. was de- clared to be an unusual case. as the 1najdrity Of chi 1dren were willing to earn Their own living upon coming of age
 How far should public poor relief officers co-operate with private char itabie agencies came up for much lively discussioI. It was shown that these two agencies could becoxne more efficient to the community if they O. eperated and it. was suggested that 4co- operation5s 5sbe tried in the cities.

NOT ENOUGH FARM LAND.

=a.
 He declared at the present time that there is not enough farm land given to the school for the admittance of even a small proportion of the feeble minded of the state. In order to provide work for those already ad- mitted.s and they number $50, he de- 5c1ared that it is necessary to change the barn fIr%o a factory
 He also declared that the insane of the state were not as bad in a general way to be allowed the freedom of the cities, as the feeble minded The feeble minded bore great many children, and because of this he favored sstr1cter segregation for this class of the pub- lie charges. He declared that at the present time the state needs more pro- visions than they have at the present time as only a small proportion are now being treated. The state he de- c1ared. could buy a great tract of farm land in a section of the state at a small sum, and in this way the prop CT segregation could be secured.

TRUCKS REPLACE HORSES
Motor Vehicles Increase While
Wagons Decrease in Chicago.
FEW HEAVY WAGON TRUCKS
Collectors bureau In Chicago shows
only Seventeen Four-HorSe We
hicIes In City, while There
Are Many Motor Trucks.

Exact data, just made public by Ed
ward Cohen, Chicago city collector. fur
nishes an Interesting comparison OF the
delivery methods now in use in that city.
All vehicles in Chicago. whether used
Tor pleasure or business. must be licensed.
AS the city derives large revenue from
;his Source, comparatively few vehicles
escape registration
The license list compiled by Mr.. Cohen
shows the speed with which motor vehi-
cles are replacing horses as a means of
heavy duty transportation Since 1911
there has been a decrease OF 1.7Ss in two
horse wagons During the same period
is noted an increase of 3.4Os in the num-
Der OF commercial motor vehicles. OF
the latter 2O12 are delivery wagons OF
less than one-ton capacity, while 1896
are heavy duty trucks. In April of this
year only seventeen four-horse vehicles
were in use in Chicago.
THE figures from Chicago can be taken
as criterion for all parts of the coun-
try where business competition is KEEN"
declares John N. WHY'S, manufacturer
of the Grafcrd and WHY'S utility trucks.
And traffic conditions in Chicago are
more favorable for horses than in almost
any other city in the United States. Level
streets, which for the most part are we'll
paved. make the city easy on horses and
as nearly ideal as possible for teamlng.
But the speed Of horses is limited
even under the best conditions They are
affected by other conditions than those
OF traffic, Extremes of weather affect
horses just as they do human beings
On hot summer days horses cannot keep
he pace that they set when it is cool
On the other hand motor vehicles are
not affected by weather conditions.

I'VE invariably find that the wide
awake business man who motorizes his
delivery system. enlarges his scope for
doing business and at the same time
enlarges his business itself. The man
who clings to the old idea that the horse
is good enough, is finding his territory
circumscrlbed and his business taken
away by the motor vehicles Of his more
modern competitors
"In all lines of business the same prin-
ciple holds true. You must either be up
to-date or fall behind The delivery
problem is of more Importance today
than ever before. Customers demand the
best delivery service. II they can't get
It at one place they will go to another.

War Hits Leather ,Trade.

New York, Aug. 20.-The most SER
ious consideration of the European
war is it's effect on our foreign
trade. The hide and leather busi-
ness Is already suffering from held
up shipments; and it will not be long
till the effects spread to the shoe
industry. The Shoe and Leather Re
porter announces that while the i'm
mediate effect OF the war will be dis
astrous to our industries, the ulti-
mate influence will be to greatly
stimulate the demand for our mer-
chandise. With the great European
industrial countries modifying their
troops, millions of me1 will cease to
be producers and become consumers
of merchandise. Markets are effect
ed by present conditions, and the i'm
mediate dilemma is to indure sup
plies of raw material to keep our tan
neries running"

FEAR $40 FLOUR.
Dealers Beliye 1t Will Not Be Long
Before Price Jumps.

Philadelphia. Pa. Aug. 2O.-Deal-
ers here say it will probably not be
long before flour will go as high as
$3.50 or $40 barrel. Replying to the
statement that there was no excuse
for the advance in price. flour dealers
say that there has already been a
great increase in the foreign demand
for flour and wheat. 1.-THE only thing
that prevents shipments is that we
cannot insure delivery" said an ex-
porter. If British ships resume reg
tlar sailings we will have the largest
export business in wheat and flour
that we have had in years."
