by the Home Land Co.
Especial to the EyeninR Star

SUMMIT, April 22-The Summit
Home Land Company announces,
through Jonathan Bonnet, that it has
placed its tract on the south side of
Park avenue. between Maple and Elm
streets, in the hands of the Town
Improvement Association, to be used
as a playground.
general appeal Is to be circulated
asking for contributions to meet the
usual running expenses of the play
ground and the additional expense
connected with the removal of the
apparatus from the present location,

park. The removal of the playground
apparatus is made necessary because
of the recent action of the Common
Council in deciding to undertake the
improvement of the eastern section
of the park property.
The new site, which is located oppo-
site the park, just west of the former
playground, Is admirably adapted for
a children's recreation centre, being
practically level and well shaded.

COMPANY OFFICIALS ARE GLAD TO HELP,
 SAYS MIR. DEWINDT

J. H. P. DeWindt, manager of the Bly, mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany, who. it is understood, will succeed to the chief operating position since A. H. Ford resigned, indicated the deepest sym pathy yesterday regarding the death of Mrs. Moody Childress and the little ones that were made orphans.
 "Our officials have responded to the ap- peal for funds even before Mrs Childress lamentable death,' said Mr. DeWindt. Her death renders the condition of the two little ones even more appealing In addition to the subscriptions of our off cials I can assure you that the Birming- ham Railway. Light and Power company will subscribe substantially to the two young children that are thus orphaned l cannot express the depth of my sym pathies. The death of the two employees of the company was indescribably shock ing to the officials of our company. There is nothing that we can do except to at- tempt by all human ways to help these children. I am sure that our companys officers will not be slow to see the op- portunity here presented to render to them service If it was left to any indi vidual to say what should be done the re- lief story might be different. But there are many opinions to be consulted and these questions must be handled in a calm and dispassionate manner. All this being true l feel that I voice the sen- timents of the officials when I reiterate that everything that we can consistently do will be done to render succor to these children. both of whom have my deepest personal commseration"

HUSBAND MET DEATH TEN DAYS AGO AND
 WIFE NEVER RALLIED
Mrs. Chi,dress' Mother Is Desperately III and Well Known West End Mail Carrier Watches At
 Her Bedside
By RICHARD F. LUssIER

Mrs. Moody Childress aged 25 years. died yesterday morning about o'clock in a local infirmary
 The immediate cause of the death of Mrs. Childress was the shock she suf- fered week ago last Friday, when her husband, trusted employe of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company, met a horrible death in the Ire which destroyed the general offices of the power company.
 Mrs. Childress was in delicate health at the time her husband was killed and following his burial she weakened per- ceptably. Three days ago she was re- moved to an infirmary and death fol- lowed yesterday morning peacefully. Her last words-in very low whis- per-were:
 "I am coming to you, Moody"
 Edna Childress was born and lived her life in the pretty West End suburb of Birming gham. She was the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Charles A Buff of 1912 Pearson avenue. She was educated in the public schools at West End and graduated from the Central High school. few years following her graduation and she married w. Moody Childress.

MOTHER HAD GONE
 AWAY TO SEE FATHER

The children, Dorothea and Moody. were in another room at the infirmary They were not allowed to see their
 mother and were told that she had gone away to see their father. And to all questions the children answer that their parents are gone on visit to God and will never come back and they too will go there sometime and be happy again with papa and mamma. But the toll of the great destroyer is not over! There is the grief-stricken mother of Edna Childress to contend with. The mother is ill--desperately i1l--and the death of her son-in- law
 and daughter has been to great strain on her weakened vitality, and Charles Buff. the well-known mail carrier, watched patiently by the side of his wife's bed last night as he had watched yeSterday morning his daughters Win his grim vigil be repaid by death or will there be mercy shown and the mother live?
 The funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Moody Childress will be con ducted this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Buff residence at 1912 Pearson avenue Interment will follow in Elm wood cemetery. Besides her parents a sister. Mrs T. T. Canterbury, and a
