RULING IN EFFECT
Many Shippers Take AID.
vantage of Increased
Rate Limit.

Some shippers are taking advan-
tage of the increased weight limit for
shipping parcel post and although the
postoffice has not been inconvenienced
as yet, by the new ruling of the post
master general. it is expected that
spring will bring with it such rush
of heavy package business that an
increased force and additional floor
space will be required.
No packages weighing the limit of
dfty pounds have peen shipped
through the Richmond postoffice in
the three days since the new weight
ruling became effective. A thirty-five
pound parcel was sent out today.
The hardest work the men will
have because of the ruling. is the
casting business which is expected.
Automobile. agricultural implements
and lawn mower parts of iron and
other metal, are expected to form a
big part of this classs of business.
Shipping of all kinds is light at the
present time because many firms are
invoicing stock The business will
open stronger in two weeks.

BY LEO l. REppfNG

The nearer your parks and play
grounds are to your home the further
off the cemetery will remain.
Isn't that sufficient to persuade you
that the parks and Fairgrounds of
Richmond are as important as the
cemetery?
Other proofs are ready if you want
them. This is one Of the most easily
established propositions connected
with town development
Detroit has found the great public
playground, Belle Isle, one of its very
best municipal assets. Every bust
ness man in Detroit regards Belle Isle
as money saver. 1t is playground
open the year around to men and
women who work and to their child
rem
Manufacturers and other large en-
ployers in Detroit have little difficulty
in keeping their help satisfied. And
since Belle Isle was made a place of
public recreation the health of the
city has greatly improved-Its death
rate has decreased.
We are living in better conditions
than did our forefathers, and we have
grown SO accustomed to the pleasant
places in life that we regard them as
our right and refuse to do without
them,
Must Have Fresh Air.
If Richmond does not provide parks
and Fairgrounds for our children to
enjoy and in which they can get
plenty of fresh air and the exercise
that is necessary for them in their
growth to manhood and womanhood,
we will move; we will go to some
town that has enterprise enough to
care for the children of those who
make it.
Think that over, you man Of affairs.
That is a thought that has caused hun
dreds Of thousands Of families to
move. Many of them would come to
Richmond, no doubt, if you have the
parks and Fairgrounds here that you
should have. Now, don't get annoyed !;

Parks and Fairgrounds
Necessary in Richmond

don't say to yourself that taxes are
high enough without providing lux
uries.
Such breathing places as the parks
and Fairgrounds are not luxuries. Nor
do they increase your expenses.
One of the most expensive things
and one of the most useless, is sick
ness. Give your children chance to
grow as they should; don't stunt them
by depriving them of plenty of fresh
air and of room in which to thrash
around, and you will have few doctor
bills to pay and little medicine to buy.
The cemetery will remain far down
the road.
Make Organized Effort.
The trouble with this problem of
parks is that it is like other big things
in Richmond. 1t cannot be solved by
one individual. No matter how good
a citizen you may be, no matter how
public spirited you may be, nor how
willing you may be to spend your
money for the benefit of the commu-
nity's babies, you cannot do it all.
Just as l have been trying to tell
you about other things, in this you
must work with your fellow citizens
and you must have an organization.
You owe it to your wife and to
your children that you identify your
self with the commercial organization
of Richmond, and that you become &C
tive in its work. One of the first
things that you should do is to make a
study of the parks and Fairgrounds OF
this town. Contrast it with the Gem
etery. Determine for yourself where
your interest lies. Are you more in
terested in the parks and Fairgrounds
and their upkeep, or in the cemetery
and it's growth?
The city that shows to it's visitors
a system of parks and Fairgrounds
we'll kept, interests them in itself 1t
establishes itself in their eyes as a
self-respecting as we'll as an enter
prising community; place in which
life is pleasant and safe.

VICE PRCEERS
SUBMIT REPORT
Wisconsin Legislative Body

MANY REGULATIONS ASKED

Wage Question Declared Not to Be a
Factor In Woman's Downfall, but
Mans Part in Social Evil Is Called
DespIcable and Severe Penalty Is
Urged.
Madison, Wis, Dec. THE wage
question has no material relation to
a girls downfall, the legislative anti
vice committee has concluded after
fifteen months study of the vice prob
lem in Wisconsin. An exhaustive re-
port of the investigation was filed
with the secretary of state
The chief cause of commercialized
vice, the report says, is the use of
intoxicating liquor. Contributory
causes are public dance halls. road
houses. poorly lighted parks and pub
lie places, lack of responsibility by
parents, nonenforcement of laws, lack
of public amusement. recreation ia
cilities and automobiles.
THE mans part in the social evil, :
the committee says, lis despicable
and mean enough to merit the harsh.
est terms of reproach and disgust.
The exploiter OF the body and soul of
woman for money gain Is worthy to
be the lowest outcast in society, rath-
er than the weak or ignorant or un-
fortunate person exploited. The pen
alties for such exploitations must be
made most severe and must come with
absolute certainty upon conviction.
Single Moral Standard Urged.
The double standard of morality is
blamed for the diff Guilty In reforming
public morals and women are called
upon to demand and by their moral
influence to enforce single standard
for both sexes.
Domestcs, owing to their denial OF
natural opportunity for social con.
tact, are found most susceptible to

mends:
That morals court be established
in cities of the first class with ex-
elusive jurisdiction over all cases in
volving moral offenses.
That law similar to the Mann act.
applicable between cities, villages and
towns of the state, be enacted
That permanent state police de-
partment be established In this state
with power to investigate and enforce
the law where local officers fail to
do it.
That the sale of liquor be prohibited
within or in connection with dance
halls.
That a liquor license may be auto
matically revoked upon plea of gull
ty or conviction for violation of any
moral law.
Abolish Private Drinking Rooms.
That stalls, family entrances and

BAD FEELING
 BETWEEN TWO
 PENN COACHES

Philadelphia. Pa. Nov. 1s-Defeat seems to have soured Pennsylvania's football coaches and apparently there is friction between George Brooke, head coach, and .eBy' Dickson. his assistant and trainer of the team since Pat DWyer resigned. Brooke last Monday ordered the men to go out Of training until today, while Dickson as- serted that the mental condition of the players did not count for anything and insisted that hard work be con tinued.
 As a result Dickson had some of the men out on run and the squad worked out in a pretty strenuous drill.
 Dickson. in an interview. said: .I insisted in having the men practice, although Coach Brooke called off the practice without consulting me. The physical condition Iof the men at pres ent is very good, but to be in the best of shape for the coming game with Cornell. and in order to develop a team capable of winning. they must be kept at their work. z

PITCHER PREFERS TO
 STAY IN MINOR LEAGUE

It is seldom that one hears of a minor league player turning down an opportunity to play in the major leagues.
 During the spring of last season Marty Kavanaugh said he WouTd rath- CT play in the minors than the majors. He, however. played the greater part of the season in the Detroit inde1d. Not so long ago Providence secured a. pitcher from the Canadian League and that player said he didn't care about changing from the smaller league to the big minor organization.
 But now we have Pitcher Rogge, last season with Toronto. and a good twir1er. too, who has been recalled by the Chicago White Sox and won't si gn a contract with that team.
 Rogge says that the Sox twice sent him back to the minors without giving him a fair trial and he is so disgusted that he vows he will quit baseball be-. fore joining Chicago. So it looks as if Manager Callahan. or Ed Walsh, whoever happens to be the leader of the sox for next year, will have nice job trying to get Rogges who pitched good ball for the Maple Leafs,
