Champion Of Survey.
For number of years District Su-
pervisor Of Fairgrounds e. 8. Martin
has recommended a recreation survey.
but 1t was not until last August that
the suggestion finally was acted upon.
During that month a conference was
held at the District building between
Commissioner Newman, Lee F. Ham
mer, secretary of the bureau of recrea-
tion of the Russell Sage Foundation.
representing both that bureau and the
Playground and Recreation Association
of America, and Supervisor Martin. It
was decided to try. to interest the fed
eral children's bureau in the proposed
survey.
Miss Julia c. Lathrop, head of the
bureau, was called upon, and she at
once consented to aid in the undertak-
ing. The Commissioners then appoint
ed Capt. Powell, assistant engineer
commissioner; Supervisor Martin and
DR.. Mckenzie to represent them in the
work. Dr. Mckenzie was chosen he
cause of his experience as president of
the public recreation commission OF
Columbus, Ohio and his training along
sociological lines especially having to
do with children.
Miss Lathrop secured the services of
Mr.. De Groot, and short time there
after the actual commencement of the
survey was inaugurated. The results
of the study are now being incorporat-
ed in a report which probably will not
be published for a month. The report
will be made part of the federal chill
dren's bureau exhibit at the Panama

SOAP is BAD

Soap should be used very sparing-
Iy, If at all, If you want to keep
your hair looking its best. Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkan. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle and
ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
lust ordinary mulsifled cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), Is
cheaper and better than soap or
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough

water and rub 1t in. 1t makes an
abundance of rich. creamy lather.

a hotel early yesterday of heart dis
ease complicated by a slight attack of
pneumonia. Mr.. Wilder had been in
poor health for the last two weeks.
and Friday was forced to cancel his
engagement at vaudeville theater.
The body was sent to relatives in New
York last night. Since the death Of
his wife more than a year ago Mr..
Wilder had been visibly depressed, his
friends said, and this had affected his
health. Two weeks ago he contracted
a cold. which developed into pneu-
monia Saturday. He was much i'm
proved Saturday night. however. but
early yesterday collapsed.
Mr.. Wilder. who was born in Geneva,
N. Y, in 1859, became public enter
tainer at an early age. and in this ca
pacity appeared at one time before
English royalty.
Owing to physical disability his ed
ucation was limited to a few terms in
public school. He began life as ped
streets Commercial Agency. He re-
ceived only so cents night when he
began to entertain. Later he began to
travel and went to London in 1883,
Of Wales, who became King Edward
VII From that year to 1899 he made
an annual trip to London. He had
been in vaudeville since 1899. He made
a tour of the world in 1904 and 1905.
He was the author of People I've
Smiled With" 1.-The Sunny Side of the
Street" and "Smiling-r0und the
World" His -Wtfe-was Sophia Cornell
Mr.. Wilder has been called the most
original Of American humorists since
Artemus Ward, and he was appreciated
as such in both hemispheres, for his
seasons in London were quite as sue
cessful as those in New York. The
merry little fellow. who had made his
own way in life largely by his win
some smile and cheerful presence, was
a drawing card wherever he went.
