CITY COUNCIL MOVES TOWARD
MORE FAIRGROUNDS

The city council last night made
its first move in consideration of the
kids of Chicago when it passed Aid.
Jacob Lindheimer's resolution call
ing for the opening of school play
grounds all the year around between
the hours of 8 a. m. and p. m.
The resolution reads:
Whereas, The number of play
grounds for children in the city of
Chicago is limited and particularly in
the congested districts of the city
there is a great shortage of space
for that purpose; and
Whereas, The health of the chill
dren of Chicago is a matter of the
highest Importance to the commun-
ity and will be greatly enhanced by
enabling children of tender years to
find breathing spots in which they
can play and be in no danger from
passing traffic; and
Whereas, It has been found neces-
sary within the last few months to
close certain streets during certain
hours of the day, in order to meet the
requirements for this purpose in some
parts of the city; and
Whereas, The Fairgrounds sur
rounding the schools of the city are
convenient and accessible to chill
dren in almost all neighborhoods of
the city where there is such a short
age of Fairgrounds; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Board of Edu- |
cation of the city of Chicago be re-
quested to open the Fairgrounds sur
rounding the schools of the city, and
keep them open to the children of !
the neighborhood in which they are
located from 8 a. m. until p. m. on |
all days of the week, including Sun
days, and including the vacation |
period about to commence.
However, the campaign started by

in the evening and has 20 do his play
ing after supper.
Aldermen Healy, Merriam, Kenna,
Coughlin and Lindheimer will con-
tinue the fight in the city council un-
til the matter is referred to the
finance committee and steps taken
to provide more Fairgrounds with
gymnasiums and swimming pools for
the boys and girls of Chicago.
James A. Quinn, city oil inspector
and North Side political leader, has
come out strong for the movement.
1t was he who got for his district one
of the first Fairgrounds in Chicago.
Since that time he has watched the
success of the idea.
"The Day Book is doing good work
in taking up this fight for the boys
and girls" Quinn said. ''It is. one of
the most important questions that
can be brought up in the city coun-
Gil And 1 am positive that all alder
men will vote for it. I'm particularly
glad to see the paper take up the
cause of the working boy. For they
are the ones that are most neglected
and need some one to fight for them"

RESOURCES ARE DWINDLING.
So Lever Says; When House Takes
Up Agricultural Bill.

The agricultural appropriation bill
carrying upwards of s1s.OOO.OO0, including
a reorganization of the department and
a number of other readjustments and re-
forms, was taken up in the House today.
Representative Lever Of South Carolina,
chairman Of the agricultural committee,
opened the debate. making an elaborate
statement of the effect and details of the
bill.
Representative Lever declared that the
question of the meat supply for the
country is becoming graver. that the
timber supply Is diminishing, that the
coal supply is dwindling, that all the
mineral resources of the country were
disappearing and once gone they would
be gone forever. and urged the House
to realize that the only hope in the future
of the country lies in the proper handling
of the soil and it therefore behooves
Congress to meet that question squarely
and literally. He said that the imports
