 e. T. Stafford, playground super visor, said today:
 "As this was the first meet of the season the, children, were rather re1uc- tasnt about participating. in the events However, from the remarks of the children when the meets were over it is a certainty that more will enter in the many meets that are to be held during the summer. The playgrounds are open from in the morning until 5:30 every evening This assures the parents that the children will be home in time for the evening meal.
 'fThe people of Bridgeport are real izing more and more the great value of these recreation centers. The mum Der of children that have been reached at the playgrounds last season is be- tween 60 and 65, ,0e0. >The playground is not a mere place where the child can go and while away his time The children are taught the value of exer- else and organized play and 6Efe girls are taught sewing, basket weaving and raff1t work and many other help ful occupations that will be of assist ance to them in later life. A true con ception of citizenship is drilled into the boys, maging them realize the value of cleanliness, truth, discipline, fair play, fellowship and all that tends to raise the standards of the coming generation. It is my earnest desire that the parents will drop around and see the pIaygrounds in operation, talk to the attendants, and let the little ones enjoy themselves during the try ing months of the summer

vice and the army is reluctant to let him go.
 Both in the army and navk the rule
 has been to accept or reject applica- l tions of officers for resignation, in the
 discretion of the President. An of fcer may submit his resignation at
 any time, but the War and Navy De-
 partments have clung to their prerog-
 ative of refusing to accept resignations at will, and resignations often have
 been rejected. It has long been a
 question among military and naval of ficers whether the Government pos Esesses the right to refuse to permit an officer to leave the service.
 There are numerous ways, under the law, by which officers may be dis
 missed from the army, but there has been no open route for exit from either
 the army or navy after the refusal of the higher authorities to accept ten dered resignations.
 This has raised the question whether the government can keep a man in the service until he reaches retirement age. As retired officers also hold com
 missions from the government while drawing reduced pay, it involves, col literally, the question whether retired
 officers may resign, when they insist on doing so, over the refusal of the
 government to accept their resigna- tions.
 An off1cer resigning, whose resigna-
 tion is not accepted, and who, despite
 such refusal, refused to obey orders or
 perform duties, would be court-mar- tiaIed for insubordination But the question whether an officer of army,
 navy, Marine Corps has an inalien-
 able right of resignation has never be- fore been submitted to the attorney
 general for decision, and has not been
 determined by the United. States Su- preme Court.

 Keystone Powder Co- and other pow der manufacturing concerns. The Aetna Explosives Go. recently built a powder factory at Emporium, Pa, and plans to build another in Western Pennsylvania, after it has ob- tafned the services of Colonel Horney. l. Colonel Horney has served in the United States army for 28 years. On his graduation from West Point he took an oath to serve for eight years.
 A friend of Colonel Horney, who was
 asked about his resignation, said last night:
 Colonel Horney is now the head of a small government factory manufac- l turing srnokeless powder at atinny, N. J. He can serve his country far better if he is permitted to use his ability to build up new powder fac tories which will increase enormously
 the supply of powder, which the coun- try would have at it's disposal in case of need. If a man who has taken an oath to serve his country for eight years cannot resign after he has served for 20 years beyond that pc riod his position is that of Q slave.''

The crew of No. Chemi- cal Go. was called and it would found necessary to use axes and hooks to cut through the wall of the McGahay building.

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
MRS. RABBITS TARrS AND
DOUGHNUTS.

Mrs. Rabbit was a very fine cook,
and her doughnuts were famed the
woods around and so were her straw
berry tarts.
One day she had baked dozen
tarts and fried a painful of doughnuts
and put them in the pantry on the
shelf to cool.

the BEDS" sne said.
Upstairs went Mrs. Rabbit two
steps at a time just to show herself
how spry she really was and she
shook the sheets and made the beds
in less time than it takes to tell you
all about it.
But just as she was dustins the
bureau she saw something that made
her jump back from the window and
run downstairs as fast as she came up.
Mrs. Rabbit was frightened and her
heart beat so loudly she thought it
would be heard downstairs, for she
had seen Mr.. Bear coming down the
road, and she knew him to be not only
a thief and robber, but he sometimes
carried off rabbits and other animals
to his cave in the forest on the other
side of the mountain.
Mr.. Bear knocked three times on the
door and then he kicked it, but it did
not open, and about that time he
espied the open closet window and
left the door to look in.
My, how his eyes popped when he
saw the tarts and doughnuts and he
smacked his mouth and smiled al
most out loud.
"Doughnuts and tarts!" he said
Gould anything be nicer? Well, as
Mrs. Rabbit is not AT home l shall
